And I found myself cheering by the end. Everyone in the movie theater stood up and cheered.. This never really happens in Europe, or anywhere else in the world for that matter. It was so friggin' good that it left us with no choice. Mel Gibson was the heart and soul of Mad Max but somehow they made it work without him. Having seen all the movies including the latest spinoff, this remains my favorite. The first one was rather slow and boring, the second one was a bit more action oriented and the third one was plain horrible.. Apart from Tina Turner, she gets a pass. And the latest one was mediocre, didn't hit me the same way Fury Road did. This is arguably the best action movie I have ever seen, only thing that even comes close would have to be Terminator 2 or the original Die Hard.
I'm not denying the story is thin but I don't care. There is a running joke on the internet claiming they spent 13 years making the movie but only 13 minutes writing the script, although It may have some truth to it.. They still succeeded in everything they tried to accomplish and it swept the Oscars, which is highly unusual for a none-stop action movie. I get why this movie doesn't appeal to everyone but you can't deny it's ridiculously well made. The use of practical effects are on a different level and I can't imagine they had an easy time making this masterpiece.. In fact, Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron became enemies after this.. They hated each other and they still do.
I'm surprised they spent this much time and money on an R-Rated action movie but I'm glad they did.
Fury Road will be remembered after we're all dead and gone and deservedly so.
10/10.
