MAD MAX Fury Road - Movie Review 

There's a dude playing a guitar with flames coming out of it. This movie is fucking awesome.

This movie Was so manly I grew a beard watching it

I think for me, Tom Hardy acts more with his body. Like, I don't know the way he moves just looks so awesome!

I'm starting to become a bitter cynical old fuck in terms of the movie realm, and I can't even nitpick on this movie. This is an action masterpiece! I didn't think movies like this could even exist anymore.

9/10 , best movie so far in 2015

That movie was completely insane. I loved how they filmed the nighttime scenes.

BTW grab the Mad Max Fury Road Soundtrack, cause that will get you pumped in the gym, especially "Brother in Arms"! Thank me later and thank Junkie XL for that amazing score for that amazing movie, which we all thank George Miller for - A living legend.

I thought Tom Hardy nailed it. But besides that i agree with everything you said. Amazing film

Mad Max: Fury Road A+ 10/10 100% PERFECT

An important lesson I learned from this movie is how action is definitely better when it's practical. No I'm not saying when the effects are practical. I'm saying when the action actually serves a purpose and isn't happening just to be cool. In a lot of these blockbusters we see random buildings get destroyed just for the sake of it. Everything in every action scene in this movie served some kind of function. The vehicles had crazy designs but those designs were done to accomplish certain goals. Those spiked vehicles were used very effectively and those ones with the poles sticking out came into play in a way that made total sense. So much thought was put into these designs and the action choreography. Nothing was wasted or pointless. Even the flamethrowing guitar was logical!

Can't wait to play Mad Max video game

Insane movie, best of 2015 so far. Really hoping they can pump out those 3 sequels Hardy has signed on for.

Tom Hardy nailed it. I would not call that an issue. But to each their own.

Excellent review as always, a couple of weeks ago a bunch of us from work shined a video projector with the fury road movie on the store where we work. Funny you mentioned that the movie would work with just the visual because our sound system was not loud enough for everyone to hear but we enjoyed the movie just the same.

One of the best youtube reviews of this movie I've seen. Does a great job explaining the good and bad of the movie.

Hi John. Thanks for your reviews.You are the best. I've downloaded the movie but haven't watched it yet. Gonna do it today. I'd like you to make more reviews, but you said you are busy... Your reviews are really the best of the best. You do a great job. Thanks a lot.))

Hilarious review for an awesome movie, just watched the movie this afternoon, love the wide shots and cinematography. Charlize is simply career changing here!

great review man! was a good balance to other peoples reviews. can't wait to see it!

Is the background in the intro from the watchmen poster?

The Sandstorm scene was probably the best scene in the movie just omg it was so fucking beautiful :")

A better title for this would be Fast and Furiosa

This movie is a modern masterpiece!

Awesome review John!!!! I love this movie and it might just be my favorite movie by the end of the year!

Speaking of practical vs CGI -- the only time I could spot greenscreen, were those closeup shots of them having conversations in the truck cab, with the desert scenery passing by in the background (greenscreen backdrop)

John, can you do me a favor please.... STOP comparing everything to Batman. Thank You.

Best of 2015 so far...it seems like Star Wars is the only movie that will be better lol

I love your replies to the comments people put on your videos!!

I finally watched this last week and when the credits rolled a little girl who was probably 6-7 ( Don't ask how they got into the movie if its rated R) turned to her dad and said "That, Was, Awesome :D".

Can anyone tell me the name of the song towards the end of the movie when Mad Max is fading into the crowd?

Haha your reviews are always entertaining and informative

In relation to what you said, the director demanded in the Bluray a B&W cut with only the music score. Hope to watch it like that.

Yes finally a flick pick review ! Gonna go get my popcorn and sour patch kids out.

I loved Mad Max. Just Incredible in every way! Awesome review John!

Good review, Jon. I'm glad you didn't fan boy out. I gave it a B+....Because just like I said on Stuckman's youtube page A+ for the Cirque de Soleil visual's....but points taking away with Tom Hardy's character(one of my fav actors)...character development. And back-story.

Dude you have the same view as me on Tom Hardy in this movie. It felt like he was playing Tom Hardy at times more than he was playing Mad Max. That one grunt at the end during the blood transfer scene reminded me of all of his dialogue in Lawless and I was like man, dont do that for Max, he's not that kinda guy. Anyway, I still thought he was awesome in it and the movie was amazing.

I agree with you on everything. Tom Hardy was my only issue with the movie. I heard the Bane voice as well for a brief moment, but I'd like to point out that Hardy did a good job, I just don't think he was given enough lines to really flesh out his take on Max. But overall, an awesome movie. Thanks for the vid man.

Good review John. I will now definitely pay to see it.

The villain Immortan Joe is actually the same actor that played the Toe cutter in the first Mad Max:)

Hey what size tv do you have?

I think Tom Hardy's perfomance as Mad Max is perfect. I haven't seen the previous movies but the fact that he at first delivers almost no lines or just mumbles and at the end he speaks clearly is what made the film so amazing for me. His perfomance showed that at first he didn't really trusted Furiosa or anyone else but at the end the bond between the characters were good enough so that Mad Max decided get rid of his selfisolation because he trusts them.

I loved tom hardy's performace so much. I dont know it was subtle

Can anyone help me with this question? My friend is so talented in telling about movies, stories etc and I told him to start a youtube channel and try some movie reviews. Does anyone know which program should be best for recording with webcam and editing ? I assume Sony Vegas for editing but what about recording? Help is much appreciated ! Thx in advance

I absolutely loved this movie! The visuals as you say are stunning, I just didn't want it to end. The momentum the film has is brilliant, there isn't a dull moment. I also thought the soundtrack was superb. I share your thoughts on Tom Hardy, I like him a lot as an actor but I wanted slightly more dialogue from him. But what an incredible movie! Can't wait to watch it on blu-ray.

I haven't seen mad max yet. But I'm assuming it's like 300 minus the wife scenes or book of eli minus the ending? Or fast and furious minus talking?

loved this movies, so epic, cant wait for the Blu-Ray release

Where can I watch the original mad max movies... I didn't realize this was a continuation

Great review John. This movie was Amazing loved it A+

been waiting for this!

great review! subcribed

When I heard Tom Hardy was in it, the first thing I thought of was Bane, and his resemblance to Lord Humongous. So I originally thought Hardy was going to play a Humongous type of villain. But he did a great job as Max.

John, your post apocalyptic name would be Lights Camera Jackson and you know it!

You should totally play Humongous in the next Mad max movie, that dude was shredded

Halerious impression of Lord humongas John 😃

Got out of the theater feeling like a little kid that just watched a Monster Truck show!! :D

Ahh John, I was thinking as I left the movie "if that was in a foreign language I would still follow the story". I'm still saying that in my review, which I will upload later today but damn I guess great minds think alike!

I completely agree with all the pros and cons.

Immortan Joe is played by the same actor from the first Mad Max; Toecutter! I think that's awesome!!! Sorry if I'm covering what somebody already said.

this review was about time!

My biggest pet peeve about this movie was how Max just nodded and grunted through the first half of the movie. I get the character doesn't talk much but some actual lines worked much better, which is how it was in the second half of the movie. I thought it was a great ride and it can stand alone without needing to continue the original trilogy. But I also enjoyed the nods and references to the original movies like the thunderdome, wind up musical toy, original Mad Max car and his jacket. I was hoping this movie would be amazing and it lived up to my expectations but it's not the movie of the year as some are labeling it.

did you know that the actor who played imortan joe played toecutter in the first mad max film

Can I watch this if I haven't seen the other 3?

No mention of Junkie XL's adrenaline pumping score??

thanks for the review, Flictus Humongus Erectus!

Interesting Fact. The main Protaganist (Immortan Joe) in fury road is the same actor who played the "Toe Cutter" in the Original Mad Max !

John do you think in the sequel Tom hardy might do better I thought he was good maybe I need to watch Mel gibsons max movies and the movie was I agree awesome and mind blowing and they I think like you said artistically explained the story without much dialogue

The freak with the flaming guitar was awesome! I thought Furiosa would get a spin off movie and Max would continue. I missed Mel. Would have been cool to see him again in the role.

Make a video on the new Jared Leto joker set pics

Little trivia: The villain from the first movie Hugh Keays-Byrne aka: Toecutter is Immortan Joe.

A slow to get on the mad max train but watched it a few days ago and boy, was it amazing. The post apocalyptic world was so macabre, bizarre and simple crazy/insane and visually STUNNING. The vision George Miller had for this world was so well executed by costuming and makeup. So exciting to watch. Just wish they dove into that world more and explained a few things. Also, didn't help that I was clueless as to what was happening and WHY for a good third of the beginning of the movie. But I was distracted by how the movie looked. It was like, look at this! Now this! Bang!- look at that!!! It was crazy exhausting. The Aussie actors were a bit....eh, not a fan cos I know who they are. Too many moments of "oh, him. Didn't know he was in it". "Hey, isn't it that guy from xyz?". The cars were fantastic. So Aussie! Hahhaha. Oh and, tom hardy, too much mumbling. But he was ok. Didn't know much about max and furiosa was the main character and max happened to be along for the ride. Hahahha. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. I love your channel, john!!! I should probably comment more but some dudes in here are harsh! Xxx

I actually really hope they release a silent film version on the DVD.

You are my favourite movie channel u inspired me to make a review channel

i encourage everyone to go see this movie if you havent. or see it again if you already have. I really dont want to see another edge of tomorrow. This movie was pure awesomeness. such a great ride.

Hey Flickpick can you make a review of Kung Fury.

Did the director clarify if it's indeed the same (Mad) Max as portrayed by Mel? Or could it be the Feral Kid 30 years later adopting the name of Max and thus continuing the cycle of Mad Max(es).

My name would be Maximus

I'm really looking forward to seeing this film. It looks epic, and it scored 98% on rotten Tomatoes! That's insane! That's up there with the likes of The Godfather, Citizen Kane, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Apocalypse Now, etc. I just hope it lives up to the hype! Up until now my favourite of the Mad Max films has always been the original, with the motorbike gang, The Acolytes, run by Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti. But will it stay my favourite I wonder?

John Flicksta the damn movie Mista!! Great thx

I also thought he sounded like Bane in some scenes, they did amazing work with Charlize Theron's missing left arm.

How would you rank all the Mad Max movies John?

Dude, seriously, what is going on with your muscles. I didnt watch your video for like 3-4months, now i come here to check honest review of MMRF and you are suddenly a rock vol.20 wth ! How :D

i didnt doubt for a second this movie will crush it. this movie had insane trailers, the best in 2015 in my opinion. the story, cinematography, stunts and the cast all look amazing. i am glad that movie is critically destroying it, i can only hope this movie will be financially successful as well because i wanna see couple more of these. i hope this movie wont be another edge of tomorrow

I agree most R rated action films have CG blood and have lost the squibs its quite sad really they should take notes from George Miller and Paul Verhoeven those are the greats just watch the escalator scene in Total Recall you will know what I'm talking about.

The actor who played immortal joe played toecutter from the first movie

Catching the last matinee today. That'll my 3rd time. Eff yeah baby! And yes you could be a Mad Max villain with those lats - sheesh dude eat a donut or something. No seriously there are a lot of commonalities like the hulking villains in masks (Erectus had a subtle rubber mask as well - very creepy.) I also agree re: Hardy - he was great but Mel is to Max what Christopher Reeves was to Superman or what Sean Connery is to Bond; it's gonna take something really special to dethrone them. They ARE those characters. About the Bane thing, I caught that too but remember Bane sounds like Tom Hardy (it's not just a voice Tom Hardy does) so we might have that somewhat inverted.

10/10 An incredible action movie visually. But it also has a great set up great dialogue and some emotion to it with Charlize Theron's character. Loved it 10/10 A+ for me

You should audition for the Mad Max sequel!;) Maybe i should too! I have seen Max last week and it feels so epic because it's so old school but also so new and fresh! You should cut back on the caffein!;)

Great review mate, I just saw the film and I was impressed, It's no MAD MAX 2 : The Road Warrior, but it comes a close second, Mad Max 1 was good, but the last half is where the movie picks up, Mad Max 3 Had a great first half but became muddled in the end and tina turner just wasn't doing it for me as the villain. Tom Hardy was a good choice for max and he does a decent job, however he is missing the sort of sympathetic side of max, for example like in the 2nd film when max becomes a sort of friend with the feral kid, he even smiles on occasions, but I think Tom Hardy Missed that, however towards the end of the movie i see a bit of it come through. And yes being an Aussie myself, i can say that Tom Hardy doesn't really pull off the Accent, in fact it's barley there, it sounds like he's trying to combine Clint Eastwood and Vin Diesel half the time, and it just doesn't really work.

Best blockbuster of the year so far. It was my most anticipated blockbuster of 2015 (despite the usual overhype around Marvel releases) and it seems I was right. I´m so happy for Chrlize and Tom Hardy. This is huge. And again, Marvel getting trashed by other blockbusters quality wise. Happens every year :)

John is right! George Miller is 70 years old and this film really feels likes its done by some guy trying to get noticed in Hollywood. I really give him props for going out there and making a new fresh action movie that's not a full of lame action scenes and overused cgi.

I love staring into eyes John

se7en or interstellar movie night? havn't seen either

Loved it. They didn't show it in IMAX in my town. This movie would have been perfect for it.

Agree 100%! Fury Road was a painting coming to life! It will be in my Top 5 of 2015.

Agree with you 100% I loved this movie. I also love Tom Hardy - But I do feel he was a miscast. Went back to Road Warrior after this one and enjoyed it more - mainly because of Gibson. Hardy did not have the Max in him unfortunately, as u said.

I found a Mad Max name generator online, wound up with "Inquisitor Ruin The Youth Killer" The first bit is awesome, the latter not so much. I guess the wastelands are brutal indeed O_O

I loved loved loved this film, I get what you're saying about Tom hardying up the role, but really after Mel killed the role, he would have been panned for trying to imitate that I think. 100% agree on the incredible shots and visuals, god I wish there were 20 George Millers out there to give Cinema back the practicality and beauty that he gave in this movie. All elements worked for me, the frantic pace, the constant sense of unease, the performances from all the main characters! I really liked the minimal set up, they let the actions show the motivations of the characters, the over the top stuff was some of my favourites!!!

9.5/10. Awesome movie. I'm also very hyped for the game.

For the longest time I thought it was Immortal Joe by Imortan Joe

Why can't this be classified as a reboot? From everything I've heard you don't need to see the others movies to know what's going on in this one and there's apparently no connections to the previous movies either, other than the name Mad Max which is played by a different actor. So why not just call it a reboot? Although, I guess you could say it's more of a James Bond sequel? Different actor in the lead, not really a continuation of the previous Bond films but still connected to the franchise. So I guess every decade or so they could get a new Mad Max to continue the ongoing adventures? I don't know. Anyway, definitely looking forward to seeing it. Can't wait!

please review the voices with ryan reynolds
