Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by Retep T — 21 Apr 2016

To sum up Mad Max: Fury Road in one sentence, it'd be "Fury Road lives up to the hype and then some". Because Fury is amazing! Fury Road is a breathe of fresh air in a seemingly crowded over CGIed mess of an action movie genre. We haven't seen an action movie like this since the 2008 The Dark Knight. The design of the cars, costumes and makeup are fantastic, things I've never seen in a movie(be aware I've yet to watch any of the other Mad Max films, but will definitely do so after Fury Road). The cinematography and look of the film is gorgeous. Tom Hardy plays a great Max that has the potential to be even better in the next 2 movies he signed for. But Charlize Theron as Furiosa completely stole the show in Fury Road. She was awesome and badass character and really is kind of an inspiration to other women to fight for their rights and what they believe in. I honestly don't know why, but I felt that Charlize Theron deserved AT LEAST an Oscar Nomination for her role. The cherry on top out of all of this is the biggest reason why Fury Road is getting all the praise it deserves. The use of practical effects and real stunts. Little did I know that after watching Fury Road did I find out that most of this movie does not have any CGI. It's incredible, especially for an action movie as big as this. Which is why I emphasized why Fury Road is the king of the action movie genre, because it.

stands out from normal CGI filled action movies. George Miller, yet again created an action movie masterpiece that deserved his Oscar nomination. All in all, Mad Max: Fury Road is a masterpiece on a massive scale that is more than worthy of its 10 Oscar nominations and it's 6 wins. I don't think anything will come close to the kind of production and action Fury Road has done. Mad Max: The Wasteland can't come soon enough.
