May 15, 2015 · “Mad Max: Fury Road” is an action film about redemption and revolution. Never content to merely repeat what he’s done before (even the first three “Mad Max” have very distinct personalities), Miller has redefined his vision of the future yet again, vibrantly imagining a world in which men have become the pawns of insane leaders and ...

In the wasteland of Hollywood action movies -- where over-the-top CGI slugfests, low-stakes drama, and disposable, interchangeable stock characters reign like some kind of masked mutant biker gang leader -- Mad Max: Fury Road arrives like a gut-punch, a visceral return to the sort of R-rated genre pictures of yore that never underestimated their audience, nor took them for granted.
9 Insane Mad Max Characters That We Love
It’s been 30 years since we last saw Mad Max on the big screen, in the Road Warrior-lite Beyond Thunderdome, and a lot has changed since then. Not just in what passes for action franchise moviemaking today, but also in the world of the post-apocalyptic anti-hero himself. Mel Gibson -- long the standard-bearer of V8 Interceptors, dusty leather couture, and a haunted, tragic past -- is gone, replaced by Tom Hardy in what has now become an ageless role.

That ambiguous back story has always been a hallmark for director George Miller’s series, and it allows the filmmaker to reset Fury Road just a tad. Is this a remake, a reboot, a sequel, or some mix of all three? Who can say, and it doesn’t really matter anyway; the world painted here is reminiscent of the previous films in the series, but also next level, taking the evolution of the End of the World to its next logical, jarring, yet at times beautiful place.
The over-the-top stunts and eccentric characters and designs are all hugely important to Fury Road, as are the troubled figures like Max himself and Furiosa, but it’s the overriding sense of the film’s uniqueness, its striving to be something more than just another action movie, that is most impressive. Mad Max: Fury Road is a one of a kind. Like t...
