Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

Real hero of this movie.

FIRST OFF: Holy hell is there a huge gap between the last review I did and this one, and I am sorry for that (not that I have any followers or anything but yeah). Life has been crazy with work and school. I constantly had to ask myself, do I want to write a review or write this paper for school? In which I just took a nap instead. I want to go back into this, re-do this whole site and make this more of a career-thing. So anyway...

Someone said on YouTube comment that Mad Max: Fury Road is like a movie of heavy metal band album covers. This has been the most accurate description of this movie ever. You can take any shot from this movie, and put it on a heavy metal band album and it will work. It more so reminded me of the Twisted Metal game series, but I know that game has more based off of the original Mad Max series than anything else.

For the record, no I have not seen any of the Mad Max films. Sorry, I just haven't gotten around to it. I had no intention to see this movie originally. After hearing nothing but good things about it and how it seemed to be a "stop what you're doing and go see this" kind of movie, I knew I had to see it. I also had a feeling that this wouldn't be as good seeing at home on a tiny screen. After seeing it, the ticket price was definitely worth it.

What makes this movie work is the pacing, it never stops. Even during the movie's "break" moments, there is still tension to be had. My heart was racing the entire time. The other thing that makes it work is that its an action movie, and its not fucking retarded. Sure it is over the top as all hell, but in a good way.

If I had to nitpick anything from here, some of the editing was a bit jarring. I can tell there were some edits for theater release. An Unrated release is fer sure gonna happen. The other thing is that I don't understand how the slave girls have perfect skin. I wash my skin twice a day and it looks shitty. These girls live in dirt and sweat and they're perfect. But that doesn't matter.

My favorite thing about Mad Max had to be the soundtrack. My god it was so good, can we please get more film soundtracks with drums and electric guitar? All of the lead actors were also great. Most of them have proven themselves adaptable in any role, no matter how crazy they are. This only proves that more. All of the sets, props and effects are something that should be used as good examples for any inspiring filmmaker.

Overall, great film and is a lot of fun. It is definitely not for everyone, but still enjoyable for most. Now excuse me, I got testicles that dropped while watching this.

Grade: A
