Mad for Mad Max

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2015)

Mad Max Fury Road was an outstanding visual experience with relatable characters and a world that is so insane, you wish it was real. Max Rockatansky was perfectly portrayed by Tom Hardy who had big shoes to fill after Mel Gibson. Max did not feel invincible like many of the other characters in this movie. This made everything just more realistic. I enjoyed the fact that Max was again portrayed as a man who is trying to survive in the brutal wasteland created by director George Miller. Max really does look "mad" in this movie with the images from his past haunting him throughout the movie. Imperator Furiosa was another bad ass that really focused on trying to save the human cargo. The Immortan Joe was gross and terrifying and I couldn't love this character even more. The way he portrays himself as a god was a big part of the story and character development. The action was amazing and in my mind this is the best action movie of all time. If not that then at least the best action movie of the last fifteen years. This film definitely surpassed the previous best movie of the series, Mad Max The Road Warrior. The reality of this world was frightening, but was so awesome that I felt I wanted to be apart of it. The cars alone was something that drew me into the wasteland. The fact that so little is left, but they can make so much of it is an important part of the world. The madness of the war boys was completely insane and crazy and that is what a Mad Max film is all about. Overall, this film is a great action movie that should be watched on the big screen. I had a great time watching this movie and can't wait to return to the wasteland and for Tom hardy to come back as the words greatest survivor.
