Review of Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) by James C — 20 Sep 2016

First I need to make it clear I still love The Road Warrior very much so I didnt find this as better or worse than TRW but equally as entertaining and great. So much so that it could stand on its own without any of the previous films had it been made by itself. The action is great, the scenery spectacular, and Charlize kicking some major ass. I can kind of see why people may have thought this was feminist driven because in some of the scenes they really did water down Max's ability to be a badass. While he had some great scenes I think it would of been better had a couple of the scenes actually allowed him to show and strut his own stuff. But its of minor consequence in the long run as it didnt hurt the movie any and more of just a personal preference for me as the viewer. Im also convinced that this is supposed to take place after the first 3 due to some of the flashbacks in the film. I also loved the fact that there were more groups of villains than just the ones from the Citadel as it certainly added to more of the mayhem. Overall loved this flick as it wasnt a letdown at all.

10/10.
