rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max,
a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind
following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos.
And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to
survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to
her childhood homeland.

User Reviews
I've
been a hardcore fan of Mad Max since the 1979 film. The Road Warrior
was probably one of THE greatest sequels ever. Mad Max: Beyond
Thunderdome, was terribly cheesy in some respects, very campy, but at
least stuck to its guns in portraying Max as a HUMAN BEING.
Now we have Mad Max: Fury Road. Oh, George Miller, how you disappoint me and countless other cult fans inspired by your earlier works.
Max in this movie is basically second fiddle to Charlize Theron's character, Imperator Furiosa. While they have pretty good synergy, Max doesn't display the kind of humanism which I so admired in the previous films. Hardy is a rather sterile, brutish Max, and though some might disagree I think Mel Gibson did a FAR better job in portraying this tortured soul whose loved ones were brutally slain by the Toecutter et al.
Disappointing, to say the least. Lots of action, sure, but the elements of sweet, sweet vengeance that Max exercised are completely absent from this tawdry action flick.
