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.

Mad Max: Fury Road is a one of a kind. Like t...

Fury Road feels like an 80's action movie, with a preposterously large budget, and it is GLORIOUS. This movie was an epic ride. So many awesome set pieces, incredible car designs, twisted and bizarre costumes and characters, and a lot of really strong warrior women as well.
