Mad Max: Fury Road https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6e/Mad_Max_Fury_Road.jpg Dir: George Miller Genre: Action Year: 2015 SephG Superlative: The greatest Australian movie ever made Fury Road defied all modern conventions and evidence that said reboots are terrible, uninspired cash grabs by lazy studio executives looking for a quick buck. I was very nervous when it came out. I really like the Mad Max series. So to give it a sequel 30 years after the last one and cast Tom Hardy in place of Mel Gibson seemed like it was a desperate attempt at capitalizing off of an existing IP. I could not have been more wrong. Fury Road is by far the best movie in the Mad Max franchise and easily the best attempt at rebooting a dead series we have seen (though I still haven't seen Dredd!). The plot is minimalist by choice, as most of the tension is left up to the glorious action staged by George Miller. There are few pure action movies as good as this one--but from a technical "how the hell did they pull that off," clever, creative perspective, this one might be the best to ever do it. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
