Best action film of the decade

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2015)

This is one of the best action films I have ever seen, and this is coming from someone that abhors action films. The atmosphere, characters, and story combine perfectly to create a wonderful film with great cinematography and non-stop action. The simple plot in this film is such a relief coming from other recent action films containing plot twist among plot twist among subplots. It is just simple enough that it is understandable and allows room for action and character development. Major complaints people have with this film is the lack of character development and Max being a side character. The characters in this film change as normal human beings would: slowly. Furiosa being a major change from getting away to an oasis to going back to a horribly run society to create a new life for herself and others. Max has never been a major player in his own movies, rather a plot device to carry other characters along, and that is exactly what he does in this movie. The fact that the women in the film rise up and defend themselves in the best ways they can makes this movie so great for me. And the fact that pisses off MRAs also makes it super great. This film shows strong female characters that aren't just physically strong, aside from Furiosa. They have complex emotions and feelings like normal human beings and do not exist solely as sexual objects, which is an amazing feat in action films. I hope action films follow in Miller's footsteps to create a more realistic atmosphere with relatable characters as well as amazingly cool action. I absolutely recommend this film to everyone.
