Hannah Hodson Autostraddle In a film with such a strong female lead, how could George Miller write such thoroughly forgettable supporting characters?... [Also] how in the hell is Zoë Kravitz the sole black person in this future earth?! Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Audrey Autostraddle Charlize Theron delivers a captivating, challenging performance as Furiosa, arguably her best since Monster. Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Brittani Nichols Autostraddle Other favorite moments include finding which men could not keep a beat in any scene with drums. Aug 12, 2021 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film When the relationship between Max and Furiosa changed for me, it became one of my favorite films of the year. I was moved by it. Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film It’s not her movie. It’s not even Max’s movie. It’s both their movie, and they needed each other to thrive and be redeemed. It’s in these moments of subtlety in Miller’s direction and Tom Hardy’s performance that help emulate that... Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews Mad Max: Fury Road is not only a terrific action film, but also one of the most awe-inspiring films ever made. With a magnificent story, cast, and visuals, that is not hard for anyone to believe once they set their sights on it Rated: 5/5 Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Jorge O if you get a chance to watch this masterpiece in the movie theater do it. One of the greatest action movies ever made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/21 Full Review David Benjamin Judah The best action movie ever made!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/21 Full Review Illya S The Perfect Adventure Film. Thrilling and original - that's how you can describe this film in two words. George Miller's style may not be everyone's cup of tea,and some may not understand it, but this is true cinema. With minimal dialogue and a huge amount of action, the film still manages to remain genuinely deep. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Geo3 F This is a great film that I had to rewatch after seeing Furiosa because the first time I watch it I was lost about what this was about; Furiosa was such a great introduction of the franchise to new viewers that this is perfect sequel to it. I loved it more and appreciated after Furiosa so stellar job perfect action film to enjoy; hopefully they make a third one to end this saga of soft reboot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Audience Member I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much intense action in one movie. Just wow. I wish Gibson could have played the title guy, but Harding does it great. And Miller somehow creates this insane future world that is believable, scary, and fascinating. Sci-fi does not get any better. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Mikey M I really don't understand how this movie is rated so high. I was hoping that it wouldn't be any worse than Thunderdome. It's like Mad Max Meets The Rocky Horror Pic Show. I've never not finished watching a movie and am highly disappointed that I sat thru the entirety of Fury Road. Never will watch it a second time.
