Of course I had to see this movie ASAP. So here is my review.
I love this movie. The performances are very good, Tom Hardy as Max was really a good choice, I didn't miss Mel Gibson (even though I wished for a cameo).
Charlize Theron does an awesome job, she is really one of the best actresses working right now.
Also a great job by Nicholas Hoult, I don't know why but I love him in every movie I see.
Immortan Joe is played by Hugh Keays-Byrne, who you might now as Toecutter in the very first Mad Max.
Before I go more into the details I have to say this movie is very similar to the other movies. All three movies had one thing in common: They were all completely different, but still felt similar. It's hard to explain ... All the things make sense in this closed universe and still every movie is fresh and new in so many aspects.
It was shot beautifully, everything looks awesome and I also liked the 3D ... well at least it didn't annoy me.
Also the sound mixing, something I don't usually notice, was very good.
Of course the best about any Mad Max movie are the characters. And they are great in this movie too. Most of them are not as crazy as we are used to, Furiosa and the mothers were a little too normal for me, but the followers of Immortan Joe are crazier to make up for it. I'm still not 100% sure about what they believe in, but they are totally crazy. Also we have a nice throwback to Master Blaster (at least I had to think of him/them).
Now to the absolute best of this movie: the STUNTS.
Wow. This time we have one big car chase. And the stunts are the best stunts I've ever seen. A real throwback to the first three Mad Max movies, that all had exceptional stunts. We get to see so many crazy things, but I don't wanna spoil them so please, if you liked any of the first three movies or just liked the idea, watch this movie. It is a worthy addition to the trilogy.
