Wow. I really, really enjoyed the new Mad Max film. I am still trying to figure out, after watching what basically boils down to a 2-hour action sequence, why this and some other action movies work for me, but others leave me cold. Or worse, bore me to tears.
This one definitely didn't bore me. Despite the movie having almost no dialogue, I got invested in the characters and in the outcome. Tom Hardy did a wonderful job, and Charlize Theron was basically the heart and soul of the movie. For smaller touches, the band truck was inspired. And I can't remember going to a movie before and thinking, "That is one badass pregnant woman." (No, not Charlize Theron. Amazingly, this movie has more than one distinguishable female character.)
