Of course the white blonde girl doesn't know anything about guns but leave it to the darker skinned gal to instantly know all about them, despite both living together and performing the same job together, on their back getting pregnant.

Pretty actresses overall

Every scene was predictable as hell, it couldn't hurt spend a few dollars on script out of huge f. waste of $150M

How did this movie win over the critics, I'll never know. It's predictable, campy and empty. Even for pure entertainment, it is so riddled with clichés and deja vu, it's boring as hell. I guess crack... or perhaps an overdose of testosterone helps to appreciate it.

Does this movie live up to the trailers and the hype? No it doesn't. Theres no story whatsoever. They should've called this movie: 'over-the-top stunts and explosions in the desert'. I liked the first Mad Max movies but this one was shit, sorry. Would not watch again 3/10

If you want to watch the best movie of the last years. Watch this. This crushes the upcoming Star Wars I know for sure.

In my opinion this movie was terrible, i dont get the hype at all,it basically didnt have any plot, the plot it did have didnt make any sense, and the action scenes were pretty much cliche....
Spoilers: in the end they kill the master or whatever and they showed it to the people who worshipped him as a God and instead of being a little confused, or sad or angry they just praised them? I get that he was supposed to be undead and they killed him but still!
Not tomention an entire city/empire was overthrown by 10 people using brute force?? So fake!

For the first time since The Dark Night, I have dragged myself out to a theater to see a big name film on opening night. I just don't do it. I like to get to the theater on dead nights and a week or two after the film has come out. It's just quieter. For some reason I really wanted to see this film as soon as I could due to all the rave reviews I've been seeing so far. Rave reviews for an R rated reboot/sequel of a franchise that hasn't had a film in over 20 years? Yeah, I had to see it. I'm glad I did. It ended up being a fucking blast.

I haven't seen a Mad Max film since high school. I think a bunch of us sat down and just put them on one after the other and got drunk. That being said, I'm not a huge fan of the universe. The movies were great. Don't get me wrong. I just wasn't part of the culture of Mad Max. I was always a Water World type of person.

That's a joke.

George Miller's return to non-dancing/talking animals is pretty special. I don't think I've seen a resurrection like this in a long ass time. The film was kick fucking ass. I can't really call myself a huge action film person. I love story and character development and most of them are missing those two elements. A good handful of films have been able to not only include those two qualities, but also deliver some breathtaking set pieces to go along with it. I'm a fan of the last two Planet of the Apes films. The Batman trilogy was solid. The original Die Hard is one of my favorite films. Besides Batman, I like my action films without superheroes. It's no surprise that I ended up liking this film so much. As completely batshit insane this movie was, I didn't really get a sense that none of it could ever happen. The action was somewhat realistic, if we were to ever get as savage as these people that is.

To be honest, I didn't really understand what the hell was going on for the first ten minutes or so of the film. It was a little jarring to just be shoved into this world of huge lady breast feeding, white zombie looking fellas, and roving marauders with no fear of death. Thankfully this wasn't a huge deal. I quickly learned that I didn't need to know anything about this world that they were in. The planet is shit and most people are shit. Here's a truck with Charlize Theron in it. Go! I was on board.

Speaking of Charlize Theron, this is her movie. I know it is called Mad Max. I know that Tom Hardy was very good in the lead role, but I wasn't way more drawn to Theron as Furiosa. She's the one that started this whole movie into overdrive. Hell, without her, Max would still be a hood ornament. The fact that was kicked just as much ass as Max while only having one arm was also a major draw in. I wouldn't mind seeing a movie that completely focused on her. Theron was that good.

The action was pretty phenomenal. There were some quiet scenes that pushed the story forward a little bit but for the most part the audience is treated to balls to the fucking floor action. Like a nine year old's Legos box, the vehicles that came from left to right over the course of the movie ranged from terrifying to hilarious. You had spiked cruisers, sand bikes, teeter totter trucks, and my favorite of all, the sound trailer. I wonder how my man got the job on the guitar? Dude has it made. Actually, Miller was able to not only show us an insane character like the guitar marauder, but his inclusion actually helped make the score more intense. I was on the edge of my seat during these car chases.

If you want to have more films like this in theaters, then go see this movie. Huge budget rated R films don't happen a thousand times a year. Go and see this film to show that there is an audience for these kind of movies. Go see the film because it's looney-bin crazy too. That's also a reason to go.

4.5/5

With all the hype around this movie I expected more. I'm not a big fan of action movies, and I have to admit I haven't seen the previous movies in this franchise. The plot were non-existant, just one long chase scene I just wanted to end, but it never did. Neither did the movie make me care about any of the characters. Fell asleep several times, don't get the hype at all.

I can see why people liked it but honestly I never got too engaged with it. I like action films but I felt totally burnt out by the time the first chase scene relented (and we met the brides). I felt like it was impressive action without any tension. Who are these people? Why do I care about them? Do I want to see them escape?

I mean, until we met the brides we had no idea why Theron's character was on the run in the first place or an ounce about her backstory.

Plus, I think having seen the Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome (the original Mad Max wasn't really a post-apocalyptic film so I don't count that) not everything was new. The vehicles were similar to the Road Warrior's but pumped on steroids a bit. The aesthetic was very similar. They did some things differently (the band and flaming guitar musician) and the pole vaulters were really cool towards the end.

I would say as far as a reboot goes it hits the mark. Miller doesn't shit on the previous films, instead pays due respect to them all throughout the movie, and pushed things to the hilt. It definitely wasn't an abysmal effort by any means.

I would compare it to a wildly gory and inventive horror film that doesn't have any scares. And I thought the hyper-fast editing during fight scenes was cheesy and cheapened the action. 5/10

The trailer was amazing, but the movie did not live up to the hype. The villains were underused, Tom hardy was underused and there was no story to speak of. Nicholas Hoult and Charlize Theron were good, the camerawork was good and the action was good. But if you keep on repeating similar actions scenes for two hours... it gets bland. The cakewalk at the end didn't help either. I do have hope for the sequel though. Some of the right ingredients are definitely there.
