Fantastic action, but maybe a little too much

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2020)

"Mad Max: Fury Road" is a great action movie with a spectacular technical department. Indeed George Miller was fantastic because all the scenes are clear and thrilling, and some of them are very memorable. The score is also inspired: frenetic and tense and it surely enriches all the action. But the most impressive thing is that almost every choreography is realised through practical stunts and this is particularly important because the movie has a a grounded and "realistic" taste because of this practical stunts and in doing so it raises the level of the tension the viewer can feel. And finally I liked all the performances and the characterisation of the main characters. I found pretty solid the idea to give Max a little backstory so he can be perceived as mysterious and intriguing and I found him very cool.
The only problem for me is that there is toooo much action. Clearly I want to see action if I watch "Mad Max" but I would have preferred a little more time spent on characters's interactions instead of almost 110 minutes straight of car chasing. And this was a problem for me because I found myself bored when these scenes were longer than 25-30 minutes. And probably it is only a problem of mine because maybe I can take only a few action at a time but sometimes I was bored and I can't hide this aspect.
In general "Mad Max: Fury Road" is a more than suggested movie, very frenetic and with a fast pacing, great visuals and music, that can be boring in some parts but it's not a very big deal: if you are searching for adrenaline in a movie this is a great choice!
