Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road is a hell of a reboot to the franchise. Writer and director George Miller of the orginal shows that after nearly 35 years, he still has the goods. Starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, Fury Road is a visual treat to behold with visceral old school action devoid of the heavy use of special effects. It is also Miller's use of old school, tried and true film techniques that allow the action to really carry the story along.  As the viewers may know, it was never about the dialogue in these movies or even the acting for that matter.  But if you're lucky enough to get great actors like Hardy and Theron (looking like a young Sigourney Weaver), then it's certainly a plus that comes through. Miller utilizes the best elements of silent films and spaghetti westerns to more than measure up to his original and it appears that there will be more to come.  That's what's up.
