Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

IMDB: "Mad Max: Fury Road"

I haven't seen the old classic Mad Max movies by George Miller (yet), and that's because over-the-top-manly movies are not my kind of thing. I love action and all that awesome stuff, but you know.. I have my limits. So you can easily say I only watched this movie because Tom Hardy is in it. Yes, I am that kind of girl. But it has led to hundreds of cool movies because of it (not just by Hardy).

Mad Max Rockatansky earlier portraied by Mel Gibson (and others), nowadays, the hard(y)core, Tom!

Max is a little mad, he's lived in the desert for too long it seems. His mind is playing tricks on him from the past. He is somehow "kidnapped" by the War People and this is were Nux (Nicholas Hoult) comes in. Nux is what you call a hands down crazy person. They all are, but this guy is really good at it!

One of the War People, Furiosa (Charlize Theron) has taken the leader Immortan Joes (Hugh Keays-Byrne) wifes (or trophies, whatever you want to call them) and now she's taking them to a safe place somewhere beyond the desert. Joe is not happy about that, so he goes after them to get them back.

And there you have it. A mind blowing chase. Crazy people following mad people. Things get blown up, whiped out and destroyed. I wouldn't even dare to think how this movie would have been if Michael Bay directed it..

Furiosa was my favorite, and it felt like the movie was about her to be honest. Max was like "the third character", because both Furiosa and Nux stole the show!! Nux was so over-the-top-suicidal and perfectly mad! I was so surprised by how much I liked it and the more I think of it, the cooler it got.

* 7/10 *

Sequel of: "Mad Max", "Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior" and "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome".
