Mad Max: Fury Road – Göteborgs-Posten

Action

Mad Max: Fury Road

Director George Miller

With: Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne and Melissa Jaffer

Australia / United States, 2015 (120 min)

In the third Mad Max movie Beyond Thunderdome singing Tina Turner We don’t need another hero . One can wonder if that means we do not need another hero or we do not have yet a hero. I’m leaning towards the latter.

The Thunderdome premiered in 1985, then thirty years ago. Everyone thought the film series was dead and buried, but here we have it not very hard launched the Mad Max: Fury Road .

George Miller remains as a director. Tom Hardy has taken over Mel Gibson’s old parade role. It is in itself no stranger than the James Bond replaced periodically, but in Mad Max-case it is understood that Gibson is now persona non grata in large movie context.

Visual and content reminds Fury Road very much about the second Mad Max film The Road Warrior (1981). So we are in a desert landscape (the film is shot in Namibia and New South Wales, Australia) after the water war, after the oil war, and after the great disaster.

The Recluse, vägkrigaren and former police Max has been captured by the copiously evil warlord Eternal Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and his army of quirky existences. Joe sends his best soldier, the one-armed furious (Charlize Theron), on a mission to Gas City. Furious, however, has a completely different agenda for themselves and for their secret cargo (five young women) on his war trader. Furious are in urgent need of help. There she gets a very reluctant Max, who managed to escape.

During the film’s first thirty minutes treading George Miller action-throttle all the time. The running car, motorcycle and truck through the desert. It krigas all the time, without a shred of breathing pauses to us in the audience. Already eUnder film’s first thirty minutes treading George Miller action-throttle all the time. The running car, motorcycle and truck through the desert. It krigas all the time, without a shred of breathing pauses to us in the audience. Already after half an hour, I was a little hard of hearing.

The film’s three main assets is in turn cinematographer John Seale, mega-tough Theron and charismatic Hardy (his turkey operation in the Child 44 can be seen as an accident at work).

In addition to eternity long hunts and bizarre element provides the basic story, once it starts, a lot of fuzzy, but no one goes after looking at Fury Road for the story’s sake but for spectacular stunts and well made action where computer animation is not allowed to take over.

The film cleverly staged the final battle is a really neat mix of The Road Warrior, Akira Kurosawa’s samurai films and John Ford’s best westerns , ie films with Monument Valley, Utah, who venue.

By the way, I am prepared to bet a fiver that there will be more Mad Max movies with Hardy. If not Fury Road flops total words. It is worth noting that in the United States will have to wait a bit on premiären.fter half an hour, I was a little hard of hearing.
