![]() Of cause the costumes, sets and locations look convincing. All together give a truly strong performance. The rest of the cast is strong too with Gary Stephen “Angry” Anderson as Ironbar Bassey, Adam **** as Jedediah Jr, Bruce Spence as Jedediah and Helen Buday as Savannah. Together as Master Blaster they are an interesting combo and work well. Then we have Angelo Rossitto as Master and Paul Larson as Blaster. She rocks every scene she is in and feels natural. Tina Turner as Aunty Entity was a positive surprise. Mel Gibson returns as Mad Max and fully delivers his signature role. I watched it a few times and do not know why people dislike this movie. Like for example “Master Blaster”, “Two men enter one man leaves” etc. A lot of this movie enter pop culture knowledge. They add a lot to the lore, introduce good characters and have some natural development. He will be dragged down into the fragile balance of power and things will change. When he follows them to a settlement called Bartertown to get back his stuff he is involved into the power struggles of the town. The story follows again (Mad) Max Rockatansky who travels through the wastelands when his car and all belongings were stolen by a pair of thieves with a smart approach that I wont spoil. Our civilization, technology and morals are just stories of the past or abstract concepts. Like all movies of the franchise it is set in a post apocalyptic future were the world is a barren wasteland / desert and the survivors struggle to survive. Of cause it is a bit different form the first 2 movies and cant compete with Fury Road but that is still nowhere near a disaster or even average. The movie has a good story, more character development than the prequels and solid action. If this is the lowest point than you should thank Hollywood that they did not butcher the franchise and that it is one of a few franchises with no weak movie. I say those should see a real bad sequel like Highlander 2, Star Trek 5 or Star Wars The Last Jedi. The cast, set pieces, music, and gorgeous visuals paired with Miller's practical effects made this the best film in the series.This movie is not like by a lot of Mad Max fans and they say it is the worst movie in the franchise. However, it was Theron's turn as Imperator Furiosa that stood out adding an intense dose of feminism set against a male-dominated backdrop created by the villain Immortan Joe and his War Boys. In it, Hardy's Max finds himself helping a group of women escape the clutches of the dastardly warlord, Immortan Joe. Essentially acting as one long car chase, Fury Road never lets up on the action. The film would wind up winning six of those Oscars including Best Production Design and Best Film Editing.įury Road was in fact a stunning visual masterpiece. ![]() Fury Road would go on to be nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Film. On paper, the movie sounded like it had all the makings of a massive bomb yet it went on to become one of the most important and critically acclaimed films of the 2010s. The sequel no longer had the original star that made Mad Max famous to begin with, the stars of the film were fighting on set, and the film would wait nearly two years before finally being released in 2015. The odds were as stacked up against Fury Road as they could possibly be. Reshoots and a less than stellar working relationship between Hardy and Theron muddled the production. After adding Oscar winner Charlize Theron, Miller finally began production on the fourth film in the franchise. The preproduction of the film was so dragged out that Gibson would end up being replaced by the younger Tom Hardy. Miller's continuation of the franchise that made him famous was in development hell for years. There was seemingly no real chance that Mad Max: Fury Road would work. That paired with cinematographer, Dean Semler's widescreen view of the vast Australian desert and Miller's knack for shooting an epic car chase proved to be the perfect recipe for this iconic entry into the Mad Max canon. One of the most enduring images of the film continues to be the leather-clad aesthetic of the roving marauders. Miller's vision alongside his collaborators went on to create a specific image of the post-apocalyptic film that would go on to be utilized by filmmakers for years to come. Now wandering the desert after the chaos that ensued in the first film, The Road Warrior found Max acting as a sort of lone gunman tasked with helping a group of settlers at the mercy of a group of marauders. Gibson came into his own as the silent protagonist that Max would become to be known as. Now working with a budget under $5 million, Miller expertly crafted a post-apocalyptic landscape that would become a template for the rest of the series. The second film in the series, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior took everything from Mad Max and expanded on it in an explosive way.
