At Last An Action Movie With Good Action?

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2015)

I wanted to see this really bad after witnessing the mountain of positive reviews and a score of 8.8 on this site, also I wanted to see if it was anything like The Road Warrior which I enjoyed immensely in my teens. So after watching this film in the theaters I have to agree with the hype, this movie is at last an action movie where you can actually freaking see what happens and where the action is kinda logical,where questions of "how and why" make sense and the moments when they don't are few and far in between.I feel like I have to make this clear, this is an action movie and should be reviewed as such(it is what it needed to be), compare this to most of the action movies that Hollywood produces each year and yes this is a masterpiece from that point of view. Although I don't know if I can agree with this being No25 movie of all times, but I can see the appeal of it.
The visuals where astonishing,not only can you almost see every detail that is important, it is also beautiful to look at. The stunts were amazing and directing from a technical point of view was really well done. The non stop action that glued you in your seat just wins the Oscar here, entertainment at its finest. The actors for the most part were good, Theron was awesome as Furiosa and the main villain Immortan Joe left a good impression on me, and the dialog was entertaining to say the least(what a lovely day indeed...). Why 8/10? Well, minus one point for some flaws here and there and for the plot which could be a tad better (although you can argue that it was good enough for an action movie), and minus one point for Tom Hardy as Mad Max. Although I don't consider him a bad actor or that he was horrible in this film, it might be just my personal bias because I liked Mel Gibson much better and I inevitably compare the 2 of them.
Overall this is an action movie that you have been dying to see, forget Transformers where you can barely see who fights who(scratch that, you can't see even that..) or Fast and Furious where a car under 1ton stops a freaking tank(yea that happened..), here you have Mad Max:Fury Road that retains the ridiculous over the top elements that its predecessor possessed combining it with non stop action that is clear and makes sense. Nothing more and nothing less.
