Very Good and Fast!

Mad Max: Fury Road is the sort of fascinatingly original movie-going experience that rarely comes from an existing franchise. And when it comes to “part 4s” in all of cinema, I can’t think of one I’ve ever liked more. George Miller, who directed the series’ other three entries, is back to do the job again here almost 30 years after the last one, and he proves to be cinematically as sharp as ever. The fine accomplishments of actors and all the technical people notwithstanding, this is a director’s film more than anything, with a sweeping vision of a post-apocalyptic world that, however crazy it gets, sells itself all the way through. You don’t question what you see—you feel you are there.It stars Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, and Tom Hardy as Mad Max—that’s in order of importance. Max is a good character, the continued tortured soul trying survive, and yet finding the humanity in himself; but with all respect Furiosa is the real soul of this movie, the best performance (I’d put it Theron’s best character since her Oscar winning turn in “Monster”) a woman strong, cunning and skilled, yet also at points vulnerable, as she leads a troop of wives away from their powerful, malicious husband who chases them basically from one end of the movie to the other. Max gets caught up with them along the way, in an interesting evolving relation towards Furiosa and the wives. These wives, five of them, don’t get a lot of lines, but the qualities they bring in something different from both Max and Furiosa is important to the film’s success. Vital too are the host of villains, who come in such variety of interesting dark flavors, from the head evil master, down the hierarchy of his lower-ranked cohorts, to the followers convinced of the glory of self-sacrifice for their leader.This movie is marvelously thick with post-apocalyptic atmosphere. It is also thrilling, and so varied with every action or chase sequence that rolls brilliantly off of the previous one. There are moments of slowdown, so to speak, where there is verbal interaction more than a couple words at a time, but as far as character building there’s as much during the action as in the less hectic times. This is a constantly surprising, original film, frequently exciting, sometimes funny, sometimes touching, and absolutely never for any minute stretch uninteresting. The technical expertise to create such wild, high-flying (figuratively and literally) things as are shown here is just mind-boggling, but creativity is where it really excels. It’s one captivating experience, not quite like anything else that’s been made before. It must be seen.The Blu-Ray transfer looks great, and it sounds even better than how it looks. There a fair deal of documentary extras that offer insights into this breathtaking work.

Great exciting movie.

I mean my headline says it all, THIS IS THE MANLIEST MOVIE EVER MADE. It is a 2 hour, testosterone fueled action packed extravaganza. Literally everything that is alive and breathing in this movie is completely badass. Watching Mad Max Fury Road changed my life forever, literally. After I watched it, I went in the bathroom to release the case of beer I unknowingly consumed throughout the course of this masterpiece, only to not recognise my reflection in the mirror. I was 1 foot taller, 76 pounds heavier, absolutely ripped, and I somehow grew the most glorious and magnificent beard this world has ever seen. I went to gasp since I was caught off guard by what I saw, but all I could do was bellow a guttural roar that shattered the mirror and made it burst into flames while a brief guitar solo played from thin air. I quickly left the bathroom in a state of utter confusion in an attempt to discuss this with my girlfriend who had also watched the movie with me, however she was no longer in the living room. It was at this time, that I realized our three harmless dogs must have watched the it with us as well, because they had been transformed into massive, ravenous wolves. I quickly charged torwards the front door in an attempt to escape these beasts as they snarled and snapped at my leather boots that had also appeared at some point during the course of all of this. I barely escaped certain death as I slammed the door behind me, but not before one of them had managed to take a chunk of flesh from my shoulder, which I was able to quick patch up with my new found field training abilities. Still in my state of confusion, I peered into the darkness of my normally quiet neighborhood, attempting to gather my bearings and figure out where an insanely loud noise was coming from when BAM! My girlfriend comes flying through the midnight sky, over my house and lands in front of me on a battle worn Harley Davidson with exhaust pipes spewing flames from the back, chains hanging from the sides, and human skulls mounted on each handlebar. Before I could even question this, our newly transformed wolf beasts busted down the door and started charging at the same moment my neighbors house exploded as a convoy of war machine death vehicles smashed through it. I quickly jumped on the back of her Harley and we charged down the street, with the caravan following close behind. I reached down into the saddle bag to find a double barreled sawn off shotgun and a hand full of shells, so I loaded the shot gun, and jumped onto the roof of the war machine behind us, blasted the driver through the roof of the car, and swiftly got inside and took control of the vehicle. With his bloody carcass in the passenger seat, and one shell left in the gun, I smashed the side of the car into another vehicle which was racing along side of me, and shot his front tire out, resulting in him losing control of the vehicle. His car flipped two times into the bloodthirsty wasteland caravan and bursted into a flaming ball of destruction, buying us just enough time to get away and for me to share my review...
