After years of trying to make it to the big screen, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD has finally arrived for our viewing pleasure. Directed by legendary director George Miller, the man behind the original films in the series, THE ROAD WARRIOR, MAD MAX, and MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME (See our guide to the previous films below), this latest entry takes place sometime before the last film and replaces original star Mel Gibson with Tom Hardy, who looks more than up to task to fill those crazy boots. Also joining the fray is a bald-headed Charlize Theron, playing Furiosa, a one-armed badass carrying a cargo of women that sets the bad guys on her trail, as well as supporting players Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough.
After a string of awe-inspiring trailers that built a level of hype that didn't seem like it could be met…the reviews rolled in, which seem to confirm that we have a genuinely awesome flick on our hands, if not a new classic. Our own JimmyO gave the film an 10/10 in his video review, with Chris Bumbray giving it a the same. While many expected the film to be a fun ride at a minimum, it appears that we have an action classic on our hands and one that needs to be experienced on the big screen. Will the hype and word of mouth carry this to a level of blockbuster success or could singing pitches and an R-rating stall the engine?
