Mad Max: Fury Road

Let me begin with stating one thing....
This
is
the
best
god
damn
film
of 
the
year.



Mad Max is possibly the best film I have seen in a long time. It god damn pumps you up son.
The adrenaline rush you get from one specific point within the film put me on the edge of my seat. I cannot recommend Fury Road enough.

Pretty much every single aspect of this film is great, Mad Max is relentless. After last Friday night, I found new faith in director George Miller. (Yes indeed he did direct the Happy Feet and Babe franchises).
What a man.
I feel that I'm blithering here, but there is so much about this film that I enjoyed. I came out of the cinema wanting more, and within the first few minutes of Fury Road starting, I was convinced that this worth every penny.
It's amazing how within the beginning there is very little dialogue, and it's just action, action and more action. And with this, I would like to state that Mad Max: Fury Road has put my faith back into Action films.
Enough with the Transformers and Jason Statham titting about everywhere.
I want Mad Max.
I need more of this film!
You have no idea how hopped up I was when exiting that screening.

Charlie Theron.
What an actress.
I mean Tom Hardy was good as usual, but Charlie here stole the show.
I expect to see awards. Many of them.
Mad Max: Fury Road shows a story which liberates its female characters. They are shown as real people, not secondary characters. Max's story is taken over towards the end. It becomes apparent that his story is simply a sideshow to Imperator Furiosa. (Theron).
I mean and it's understandable. Because this tells how one woman stolen from birth keeps her sanity after being taken into the world of Immortan Joe. (Hugh Keays-Byrn).
Now that's a horrible enemy.
Let's just say that, Theron's character goes out her way, risks her life and others to make a better life for her and the five of Immortan Joe's wives... Like urgh, scumbag.
And he is.
One's heavily pregnant and another not even a month gone.
These women made the film. Each wife was an actual person, with speaking roles, personality, braveness, and tales to tell.
There are more females in it who are awesome.
Completely no ageism in Fury Road by the way.
We need more of this in mainstream films.
Like, don't argue with me. We do.
And as for this 'Returnofkings meninism' concept having problems with Fury Road.
Then, good for you guys!
Boycott it all you like, BECAUSE YOU THINK PEOPLE REALLY DON'T WANT TO WATCH A FILM PURELY BECAUSE THE WOMEN SPEAK A BIT MORE THAN THE MEN?
Nah man, the action, plot development, storyline and amazing directing brings people in. The fact that women have actual empowering roles within this film just means that George Miller has senses, isn't living in the Stone-age and Charlie Theron is one the best actresses around.

If you haven't guessed yet, I loved this film. Everything about it made me happy, this is something completely new. (Well at least to me).
I advise you all wisely to go see this film, whilst it's in the cinema. You might want to even think about going all out and IMAX your night away.
No really, visually Mad Max; Fury Road is stunning.
The 3D aspect, not so much.
Just, please, everyone go see it.
And pay for it.
George Miller needs to make more of Mad Max. This is one franchise I want to be milked to be honest, and that's saying something.
I'm even going to watch the original films, and those have Mel Gibson in it... god no, don't et me started on him.
