Best movie of 2015 so far!

Rating: 10/10 (15 August 2015)

Mad max: fury road is, obviously about Max. The story is pretty basic, and not hard to understand at all. Max (Tom Hardy) and Furiosa (Charlize Theron) have to get a truck filled with women to one place, the green place. But these women were important to Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne). Immortant Joe is the leader from a gang. So now he has sent a big group of his people in cars to get the truck with the women and kill Max and Furiousa. THis movie is basically just a long chase scene, but an amazing chase scene...
The directing of the movie was so pretty. Sometimes I just sat there stunned by how pretty it was. Really everything was just beautiful, I also really liked the colors they used. Even the fighting scenes were good, no shaky cam, just wide open shots of the people fighting. Another thing about the fighting, it was very well choreographed. I think that the fight scene in the beginning between Furiosa and Max was one of my favorite fight scenes. The car scenes were very well shot too. But here is a thing that I didn't really liked, that they sped up the camera movement. If you know what I mean, I don't really know how to express that in English. I enjoyed when they let things fly in the direction of the camera for example: When someone (spoiler) sacrifices him/herself there fly a steering wheel and a guitar in to the camera. I think it would have been cool if you watched it in 3D. (no spoilers) The use of practical effects surprised me. I knew that there would be some practical effects but there were a lot. And I think that it was really cool that they used them, because now a days you only see CGI. These practical effects added something more to the movie, in my opinion. The special effects were also very well done (the mechanical hand of Furiosa. George Miller (the director) made good use of slow motion.
Now something more about the acting. Tom Hardy was very good as Max. First you don't really know a lot about Max (of course if you have seen the previous 3 movies you know who Max is), but then with the short flashbacks of this little girl you start to see that Max is a damaged man who has been trough a lot. A short thing about these flashbacks, I thought that it was very creative that they switched between the faces and the skulls of dead people when they blame Max. And that the little girl had impact on Max. Max begin narration was very good. Charlize Theron is just a total badass as Furiosa, I very much liked her character. And I loved that they didn't make her invincible. Also liked her dedication by shaving of her hair. My favorite character is Nux, he is played by Nicholas Hoult. I like Nux because he is this interesting character. Nux is so interesting because he shows that his people care, and that they weren't all weird, violent people. The writing is overall very good.
Here are some more things that I liked about this movie. I very much enjoyed the realistic sense to it, it felt very realistic, and I think that is due to the use of practical effects. The sound and music was nice to listen to. The costume and make-up design is just amazing. And maybe the thing that I loved the most about this movie is that I wasn't bored for a second. Now last but not least there is a freaking guy playing the guitar which spits flames, if you don't think that that is cool, there is something wrong with you.
And here are some individual scores:
Directing: 9.8/10
Writing: 9.5/10
Acting: 9.6/10
Action: 10/10
that is a total of 38.6/40 which is a 9.7/10. And if I would round it, it would be a 10/10. I would definitely recommend watching this movie it is just pure fun.
