“Fury’s” pace is delirious, the stunts are incredible — such crashes, such explosions, such a lot of flying bodies — Hardy’s performance is a marvel of subdued conviction and Theron brings an impressive gravity to her work as Furiosa. Put it all together, and you’ve got a rousing crowd-pleaser that hits on all fast-revving cylinders.
The shock, really, is how tender Mad Max: Fury Road ultimately becomes. The film just wraps that tenderness in one of the most epic action extravaganzas of recent years. It's enough to renew your faith in movies.

George Miller is a genius visionary.
My friend and I couldn’t believe our eyes when we went to see this film at the cinema when it released.
This is the best film you will see and you’ll need something supernatural to come along and top this masterpiece.

A triumphant return to the reckless mayhem and guilt-free indulgence of the early '80s action/adventure bubble. Fury Road puts foot to floor right from the opening bell and never lets up, somehow topping itself over and over again, even when it seems like there's nowhere left to go. It's joyous anarchy, a world that thrives on all of society's dirty secrets; completely post-apocalyptic crazy but also a little more familiar than we'd care to admit.
Of course, it's a visual powerhouse - a glowing example of art direction, stunt driving, cinematography and character design that's damn near unrivaled in modern cinema - but it's also an audio behemoth. Like Inception's deep bellow or Terminator's ominous rumble, Mad Max 4 can convey a looming sense of dread through its frequent, effective use of bass. You feel that rumble? That's the ride starting back up again. Junkie XL's accompanying soundtrack is a perfect tonal match, the right blend of fuzzy, maxed-out guitar licks and incessant, pounding tribal drums.
Perhaps most impressively, the film doesn't feel obligated to dig up every last bit of backstory on its way to the finish line. If anything, it revels in leaving that to the viewer, whose imagination is bound to fill in the blanks for such a broad, wildly eccentric cast of characters far better anyway. It's a raucous success, a lethal dose of sensory overload that hits like a two-hour surge of adrenaline. I loved it, constantly shaking my head at the experience and laughing at myself like a little kid at his first R-rated movie. Loved every minute.
Revised thoughts after a 2016 re-watch: Technically and visually, there's really nothing that can compete with this. A continuously dazzling, picturesque visual marvel that's half Burning Man and half Clockwork Orange, I could sit back and just soak up the atmosphere for hours without complaint.
The opening forty minutes, almost exclusively an action/chase scene, are absolutely captivating and whip past in a heartbeat. It slows down momentarily after that, if just to offer the audience a fleeting lungful of air, but we're rarely more than five minutes from our next pulse-rocking orgasm of steel and violence.
The story is conveyed in bursts and shreds, often illuminating just enough of the world to force more questions, which probably bucked some viewers. If we look closely enough, though, many of those answers arrive via background action or subtle hints. That uber-minimal approach gives us extra time to linger in the visual splendor, while still feeling nourished by a story that's more than just skin and bones. Still one of my favorite films of the last ten years, and a must-have for any home Blu-Ray collection.

A lunatic vision, as hilarious as it is hellish. And some of the greatest action ever put on screen.
Even though this is the fourth Mad Max, and it’s indebted to the style of the previous films, Fury Road stands alone. It’s better looking and more thrilling than any of the other installments. The color palette is vibrant and beautiful, and every inch of the frame is crammed with crazy, brilliant ideas.
Miller’s not interested in character development, plot twists or social commentary, with one possible exception. He wanted spectacular stunts, which he achieves with tremendous skill, and a bad-guys-vs.-less-bad-guys pursuit that goes through countless exciting permutations.
George Miller's Fury Road is a hundred things at once: a biker movie, a spaghetti western, a post-apocalyptic dystopian action pic, a tale of female empowerment (The Vagina Monologues' Eve Ensler was a consultant on set), a Bosch painting made scary 3D real, a Keystone Kops screwball romp, and an auto show from hell.
Yet all this wit and effort and occasional beauty is in the service of a movie that is little more than a two-hour chase scene, one that seems founded on the assumption that if you show one set of people chasing another, that’s enough to get an audience excited: Oh, no, let’s hope they don’t get caught!
This is still one of the best action movies I've ever seen!
2 hours of exhilarating action and practical stunts with phenomenal performances from everyone.
You must WITNESS IT!

Esse filme não é tão bom quanto eu lembrava. Cara o que define minha opinião é que tem que haver vales para terem picos, um filme inteiro só na ação n tem tanto impacto em nada os momentos calmos são muito curtos ninguém conversa e quando alguém conversa parece um dialogo escrito por uma criança de 12 anos. Mas é divertidin.

Visually stunning and technically advanced it is, but I did not see much more than loud explosions and monster trucks in this film. It is certainly not bad, but I find it quite overrated.
Report
Pretty poor film with little to keep me watching it. Some terrible acting and a poorly developed storyline. Mostly boring. I would avoid.

Selten so einen so lahmen Käse gesehen. Die fahren da einfach 2 Stunden durch die Gegend. Eintöniges Setting ohne Spannungsspitzen runden das ganze ab. Keine Ahnung, warum der so gefeiert wird.
