Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Pat F — 22 Jul 2016

There are probably so many great reviews for this movie that there is nothing I could say that would do the film justice, but if I had to only do one review for a movie, this would be it. George Miller's vision of the apocalypse is an absolute masterpiece, and will go down as one of the greatest, if not THE greatest action movie ever made.

This movie is about a ruling tyrant whose wives are stolen from him by a rebellious imperator, played by Charlize Theron. I think what most people appreciate about a film like this is the practical effects that went into it, and the extreme attention to detail to form this world that the director puts you in.

These vehicles are all real, and had to be built from scratch, and each of them is like a character in the movie. The characters go from untrusting and ready to kill each other, to sacrificing themselves to save each other.

This is the ultimate hero's journey story. Charlize did such a great job of being a badass. Tom Hardy did a good job too, although I wonder why Mel Gibson did not get asked to do the role. Hugh Keays Byrne is the ultimate villain as Immortan Joe, the warlord who will stop at nothing to recover "his property.

" There's too many things to list that this movie did right, so just do yourself a favor, and fall in love with this film like every other person who has seen it.
