I just came back from the movie, and...Holy shit, it was amazing. I was seeing with a friend, and we didn't notice the time passing, really, we could watch that thing more two hours without any problem, because it was so good. Like a lot of people said...It was Mad Max, after we got out of the movie, my friend said something that i think it relates to the movie, she said that Mad Max is a post-apocalyptic samurai movie.
Really, since Road Warrior, it's basically "Max stumbles in someone elses problem, he is badass, but don't want to help. But he does have heart so he decides to put his extreme badassery in solving that problem and help people". That's basically this movie as well, the entire thing was Furiosa's problem...But as usual, Max in the end just helps because he can. Another thing i loved was...Fucking Nux, what an amazing character arch that guy had, really, i like Death Seeker characters, but they were able to give the guy funny moments, badass moments and emotional/dramatic moments. I see a lot of people saying the main characters are Furiosa and Max, but...Damn, for me Nux is right up there with the two of them.
About the "feminism" angle of the movie...I could see some stuff, but nothing that made the movie unwatchable, really, only the insufferable blonde was...Well, really, really annoying. But it was more because she was judging the people trying to protect her, while they were trying to survive in a kill or be killed situation, and...She was useless in the movie, she didn't have a cool moment like every other character. My friend said to me that the biggest problem she had with that character, is that she had a stick so up her ass, that she just was there to say shit. Oh, just for clarification, i'm talking about the lighter blond, not the pregnant one.
Aside from that...It's a very very very, amazing action movie, with cool characters, lots and lots of cool cars, the bad guy have a fucking War Bard (we're D&D fans
) and the main characters are a post-apocalyptic ronin and a badass raider with a cybernetic arm. Anyone else also noticed the chemistry that Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron had? They didn't need to talk, but when their characters started to cooperate, it just...Clicked, it was so natural. Their redemption was awesome.
Anyway, awesome movie, right up there this year with Kingsman as a badass action movie of the year. Everyone should watch, because i want those sequels!
