  • Mad Max: Fury Road delivers. There's no clearer or more succinct way to put it. 30 years after last appearing on the big screen, Max roars back with a vengeance.

  • Even after two viewings, I feel as though I've only scratched the surface of Mad Max: Fury Road. George Miller's action fantasy is astonishingly dense for a big-budget spectacle, not only in its imagery and ideas but in the complex interplay between them.

  • Fury Road is a defiantly individual riposte to those committee-led blockbusters which are built on CGI and designed to sell toys.

  • I saw it twice and liked it vastly more the second time around, when I'd adjusted my expectations and had my bearings from the get-go. Then it became about digging the spectacle - not to mention the hilarious sexual politics.

Audience Reviews for Mad Max: Fury Road

    20/10/2017 - Crazy action masterpiece. Easily one of the greatest action films ever made. Right up there with Terminator 2!

    Mad Max is back in this Sequel/Reboot that blows the other Mad Max films out of the water, In a matter of fact it blows most action films out of the water too, This beautifully shot masterpiece has some of the best action scenes, Car chases and stunts that I've ever seen, It hardly slows down for nothing but when it does we do have an interesting but familiar plot that works very well, Tom Hardy was great fun as Max I wouldn't mind seeing him take up the role again, The effects and practical effects were all amazing, I can't comment on the 3D as I watched the 2D version but I'm betting the 3D would of been great, It's not often a film lives up to the hype but Fury Road is a film that all action fans should watch as it's a modern day classic in many ways.

    With lots of thrills and top notch action sequences Mad Max Fury road never fails to disappoint.

    George Miller elevates action and violence to a true art form in this remake of a classic. The film is a gripping full adrenaline race across the desert of a post-apocalyptic future. The action sequences are mesmerizing and the work of a true master craftsman in action. What is perhaps the most enthralling part of the film is the absolutely absurd story and world building. Miller created a fantasy world where men playing flame throwing guitars and leaping through high speed chases on pull-vaults seems like a typical milk run. The movie keeps a relentless action pace that makes all of the absurdity seem so completely ordinary, which might be the real magic of this movie. This is only really possible because the action, filmography, set choices and music are so brilliant you cannot help but believe the insanity that plays out before you. You want to believe the fiction because of the quality of the production. The movie also features some surprisingly good performances. Charlize Theron being the real the star of the film, with the titular character really only acting as her support.
