I haven't seen the flick yet, my good friends.... sigh...
But the question is, what does the Dr.'s seal of approval look like?

It is the best Mad Max movie that has been made in my opinion. I enjoyed watching it.
Indeed.Pale Horse said:I like this part, what would be a character arc for said titular angry Maximilian?

I have been pretty negative on this. the movie was a lot better than I thought it would be. Still too clean to have the great grit of the first 2 Mad Max movies - but not a CGI s***storm. They let Max talk a bit too much. But a solid B to B+ This should be seen on a big screen with great sound. If this is the only big budget summer flick I see I will be happy.

First: "[G]reatest place to see a movie."
I thought your preference was for a venue at a higher altitude.
. . .and second, I don't think the film was too clean. I think Theron just gave everything a nice healthy glow. Say what you will about Sean Penn but he has incredible taste (and luck) with the ladies.
Agreed on Max talking too much. And I'd give it an A- because of the opening intensity. We live a world that is a cinematic wasteland and this was a notch above the work of all but a few of the best young talents.
Joe Brody said:...Yes, Tom Hardy is no Mel Gibson and the critics that are crowing on this point have really got it wrong. Hardy is no Mel Gibson and he doesn't need to be because Theron adds a whole new dimension. It's bona fide on-screen magic for the apocalypse when those two connect and wordlessly come to an understanding.
Pale, I'll be interested in your take. It was money well spent.

Damn, what a ride it is. Definitely far better than all of the previous three put together, and mind that I've always loved Road Warrior a big time. Big big time.
This is just basically blockbuster cinema at its best. The finest and purest example of it. An old school action adventure piece of art, that seems to be coming directly out from the 80s, but after having been upgraded to the special effects and cinematography of 2015. It's as daring as a modern movie could be, because it's crude, violent and someway disturbing, soooo welcoming back the R rating to the mainstream. Hope it gets it done.
Tom Hardy is the man. He plays the perfect Mad Max, making him look even more badass than he was back in the days. More mature, more introspective, much more dangerous. And hail to Charlize Theron for having brought to life one of the best "warrior woman" character in history. Their chemistry together is simply uncomparable, especially considering that most of their relationship is based only on eye contact and gestuality, with hardly any words at all.
