Well I have my favorite film of the year, i...Luke:<br /><br />Well I have my favorite film of the year, it's meaningless at the moment, but it will take a great film to dethrone this one. One of the best action movies ever, and I love how Miller's gone back and perhaps made the Mad Max film he always wanted to. It's technically speaking one extended version of the final chase from Road Warrior, and it's amazing that is all there needs to be. It realizes its weird world this time so well as it creates a such a palatable atmosphere, you know the world so fast, and understand <br />where the characters have come from without seeing it. Every set piece, big or large, seemed to bring something special and the sequences here are astonishing. Behind it there is a tremendous dramatic heft that Miller somehow manages to weave into it. It is truly an achievement in film making. <br /><br />Hardy - 4.5(A more than worthy replacement for Gibson, and I love how Hardy in no way copies anything about Gibson's work yet you still feel he's also Mad Max. Hardy's Max is a much darker figure and I really liked how he played the madness of the character into this withdrawn intensity. He does not speak much but when he does you feel the weight of his life in his voice. Along with that though he is cool bad ass as he should be, but every action scene Hardy sells every development with his performance. With time I could upgrade him actually as this is fantastic minimalistic work) <br /><br />Theron - 4.5(On that same note Theron is also doing terrific work here as well. What I love is that even though she and Max are in the same vein she does not feel like his replicant. She matches Hardy in terms of intensity and bringing the needed vividness to the actions. She also is very effective in the way she quietly taps into the vulnerabilities of her character. I have to say she and Hardy here had remarkable chemistry but in their own way that was most unique, as they create a connection between two loners)<br /><br />You know you never know I'll save Hoult. <br /><br />I think the whole ensemble was great here as they added something to the film even in just a few reactions shots even. I have to also say I liked that Toecutter returned as the villain, I'd love it if Kjell Nilsson would return if there is a sequel.
