Mad max Fury road How to define this movie? Well, most movies have a start that builds up leading to the meaty part in the middle with the action and an ending to wrap it all up.
mad max, will, give you the meaty part alright, with plenty sauce (made out of humans) from minute one to the very end. The plot is simplistic, and provides a very basic background (read: excuse) for the immense car chases. The main characters are Imperator Furiosa, and Nux, the first seeking home and the later redemption. Of course that couldn't happen without a villain, so theres one in it it too! ;)
Max himself makes flatulent noises about 6 times in the entire movie to make himself noticed (basically) so that the title has his name in it, and that kinda made me a sad panda. Mel Gibson probably shed blood tears.
The image below pretty much sums it up:
note: the quote on the poster isn't Max's either! How do you spell a flatulent sound?
pros
-great action
-very imaginative depiction of hell on earth
-visually gorgeous
-minimal GCI (if you discount the sandstorm part)
-musical soundtrack (beware: don't expect cheerful melodies full of chirping birds and girls dancing in the wind!)
-dat electric guitar! :eek:
Cons
-character development where is it?
-Mad max himself barely makes himself noticeable, and struggles to make up for a secondary role.
-barely a plot to speak of.
-adds nothing to the original trilogy (has to be said: either it would make the movie simply great, or could ruin the saga beyond repair phantom menace style, nothing in between and they choose the lower risk approach)
-Was expecting Max's last V8 interceptor to play a role as well.
points: 7/10 entertains in a Friday night without being remarkable (should have been)
