After years of directing talking pigs and dancing cartoon penguins, director George Miller returns to the franchise that got him started with the bat-shit crazy action/adventure flick Mad Max: Fury Road.
It's essentially one big huge post-apocalyptic chase movie, packed with jaw-dropping vehicular warfare, with Tom Hardy filling in the title role with many an impressionable grunt, snort and occasional complete English sentence. It's insane stunts and action sequences are choreographed and edited with such care you're left in complete awe of it's colorful visuals amidst the desolate wastelands. It's strong female characters, particularly Charlize Theron's ass-kicker, heart-pounding music (courtesy of Junkie XL) and vibrant personality reminds one that the action films can be complete chaos but still shoot it with clear precision and care. It's out to kick your ass across the floor and has a helluva lot of fun doing it.
