Absolutely Amazing Film

Rating: 9/10 (13 November 2015)

Excuse me for just a moment while I act like a 13-year-old boy who's just seen Katy Perry flash her cleavage...
OMG OMG OMG!!!! That was, like, so totally amazing!!!
OK now that that's out the way, I can act like a more responsible adult again and give my opinion and review about Mad Max: Fury Road. First, I'd just like to say...
OMG OMG OMG!!!! That was, like, so totally amazing!!!
But seriously, this honestly has to be one of the biggest and most amazing Action films I have seen for quite a while...possibly even ever. The whole film, from start to finish, comes at you like a speeding Doof Wagon, and it just never lets up.
It's 100% relentless.
I never actually thought that a pure Action film, which could be delivered so fast, so loud, and hardly ever stop, could be so damn good.
Now, the story is a wee bit thin and not very original, but you know (or should know) you're not going to get a deep, profound storyline with a pure adrenaline-filled Action film such as this. You get exactly what you pay for...action, and plenty of it.
As well as the action, the whole look of the film, from the editing & the cinematography to the stunts & visuals, were all superbly done, and all on a massive scale too. The close-to-the-surface filming is all still here, and there are some nice homages to the previous Mad Max films as well...the skull with a pilot's cap & goggles on a spike at the front of Nux's car; the music box one of the wives carries; and the metallic brace Max wears.
The performances by the cast are all excellent as well, especially Tom Hardy as Max, Charlize Theron as Furiosa, Nicholas Hoult as Hux, and Hugh Keays-Byrne (who also played Toecutter in the original Mad Max) as Immortan Joe. Even the actors who made up the rest of Immortan Joe's War Boys done a fantastic job.
I honestly cannot praise this film enough, and if you have not seen it then what are you waiting for?! Stop reading, and start watching. You won't regret it.
