Better than the original

Rating: 8/10 (15 August 2015)

Mad Max: Fury Road My Score: 8/10
I don't get to say that very often, but this story in every way was better than the original film... There is quite a lot of story. 1 - In Citadel you've got the haves and the have not's 2 - The military who are brainwashed and drugged up think they are working towards Valhalla, they are being used, this creates relevance and empathy for them 3 - The woman are owned as breeders, a lot of people in this society still want that 4 - A strong female lead who outshines the male lead in nearly every way but he does perform well, a good egalitarian balance overall 5 - Totally bad ass and great cinematography 6 - Guitarist was very cool 7 - Disillusionment, redemption, development of religion, comfort lies, and courage This movie had quite a lot of substance, more than I expected. It was emotionally satisfying, and follows through rather well. It's not perfect, but few movies are and ultimately it's far superior to the original films.
