Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.
Sex & Nudity: A nude woman is seen atop a tower where she is partially naked and appears to be in distress but everything is covered up by her very long hair and rope
Several women are seen pumping breast milk into a large pot. Breasts are showing but nipples are covered by pumps. A man then drinks a bottle of the milk.
It's implied that the villain rapes women and they are referred to as "breeders".
Violence & Gore: Frequent scenes of violence and threat include sustained vehicular chase scenes. These include scenes where people fight, are shot and stabbed, or run over by vehicles. However, injury detail is limited, but some scenes do show bloody violence.
There is also a scene in which a man is struck on the chest by a chainsaw, which is followed by a brief blood spurt as flesh and matter spray around him.
Many people are crushed by cars, bodies are seen going under the wheels
A man is riddled with bullets, blood sprays and one bullet hits his eye which explodes.
A character is stabbed in the side, the wound seeps blood.
Various hand to hand fights with bloody noses and cuts.
Many people are shot, with shots of spurting blood.
A man's hand is hit by an arrow. We can see the arrow stuck in his hand. He pulls the arrow out.
A man's face is ripped off, and blood is shown flying through the air. His body is later seen briefly with a bloody patch in place of his jaw and nose.
A dying pregnant woman is given an emergency cesarean section in hopes of saving her unborn child. The operation is hidden by the body of the man performing it; nothing is seen but the umbilical cord as he cuts it with his teeth. The fetus is not shown but the man states that it was too pre-term to have survived
Profanity: 1 use of fuck and other mild language is used infrequently throughout
Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: A few characters spray a metallic silver paint over their mouths
Frightening/Intense Scenes: The film features numerous intense, edgy car chases that host scarred, disfigured, and unnatural individuals. The dark, twisted themes of survival, preservation, and violence are lightened by the presence of slight comic relief and over-the-top action.
Story: An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland.
Likes : I kind of went in to this film with a low expectation just in case because once you've see one mad max film they tend to feel the same like you've seen it all before but surprising that this film isnt that bad although i did notice a flaw in the film story, so could i say this was a master piece sadly no but still a great entertaining film.
Its hard to say weather this is a reboot or a continuation of the other film,but i would say this is a reboot because mad max would be very old by now & not young looking, its a reboot for sure.
I will hand it to the director George Miller he has captured the visual effect & concept of the original film's, which seem to capture story part of mad max 2 & mad max 3 beyond the thunder dome, with a add war over water this time inst of oil which works for the film.
Tom Hardy has replaced Mel Gibson in the role of Max, and he does a really good job in the role but dosent seem to stand out to much in the film as Charlize Theron as Furiosa, she dose kind of steel the limelight in this film, with her character Furiosa who honestly is right up there with the strong female roles like Ellen Ripley from the original Alien and Sarah Connor from Terminator as one of the most bad ass female characters in a movie.
Nicholas Hoult return in the movie bring the bad ass villain with a great performance, and Hugh Keyas- Bryne is great as the villain as well. The visual effect with the C.G.I is pretty stunning & well done with the choreography & stunt work dose add to the realise of the film's story which im pleased with, special with the action sequences some brutal scene.
Overall this was a perfect film but for the action & visual effect yes this film dose entertain, but i cant help but feel this was missing something that could of been added to the film part from that its worth watching for the action.
Overall : Overall great choreography in action, great acting, brilliant visual effects.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 7.7 out of 10 for concept

Dislikes : Sorry but ive got to be brutality honest here, The start of the film just throws you in the action which is ok but i feel there is a missed opportunity here to do a back story of max because through out the film if feels like its missing alot like something has been cut from the film all were getting is slight flash backs.
The other thing as well is the fact yes this film is entertaining with action & visual effect but where was the character development there is just none to be seen, making this just an action film with visual effects which is ashame because it could of been mush better with character development being in the film, this is why i feel is the reason why hasn't made as much money on opening weekend as it could of done.
But the film dose feel like some part have been cut from the film because it would have been to long in the cinema hopeful there will be extended version on dvd

Watch mad max fury road movie online free on zmovies now. I hate watching movies that are not 10 or 9/10 but this was not much of my doing and it certainly lived up to any thoughts that I had about it before seeing it. That is not to say I watched the film with a head full of preconceived notions; no, I was ready to watch a film that was a valuable continuation of the superb Mad Max movie.
ReplyDeleteI readily give credence where it is due with a film of such explosive force that simply does not stop until the very end. One need only look at the credits here on IMDb to see the creativity and work that went into this film but for me it was not enough. I could admire the work that went into creating the extraordinary cinematography but as for holding my interest it provided nothing beyond excellent makeup and action sequences. If that is what you want in a contemporary movie so be it. I am sorry I watched it though.
