CelebNMusic247.com knows that Hollywood is stagnant when it comes to originality these days so the studios rely on sequels and reboots because they’re guaranteed to be hits, well most are.

But Hollywood’s appetite for sequels has panned out to be Superb In Every Way when it comes to the newest installment to the Mad Max franchise.

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is one instance in which that’s a very good thing, and CelebNMusic247.com is doing backflips over the high action film.

Once again, we find our uncommon hero Max fighting for survival in a crazier state of mind since we last saw him in “Beyond Thunderdome”. The movie returns to the violent post-apocalyptic Australian Outback, which catapulted the career of a young Mel Gibson into action hero thanks to writer-director George Miller. Mad Max made its big screen debut in 1979, and now 36-years-later we get to see what Miller has cooked up in his mind and where Max (Tom Hardy) is now.

This time Max is fighting for survival as a new tyrant named Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) rules from high above in two mountains where he pumps water from the depths below the surface of a scotched earth where nothing grows anymore and the words sane no longer applies, people fight for water and kill for gasoline.

Miller brings viewers right into the heat of the crazies, while Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) is a mysterious woman on a mission. Although the film is being boycotted by men’s-rights activists, since there is a strong feminist undertone.

Did that stray us from Mad Max Fury Road being undesirable, Hell NO! The film is superb in every way. It’s action movie gold, that has Mel Gibson giving his stamp of approval. The film is non-stop-action within the first minute followed by dazzling extended action sequences. Though, the film would be nothing without the extraordinary and powerful performances of Hardy and Theron. A shaved-headed Imperator Furiosa (Theron) is the best female action hero since Sigourney Weaver in Alien, Theron is riveting as the clever and determined to feel her pain in every moment of the movie. Like Weaver is the Alien franchise, Theron is to Mad Max, with a fascinating blend of toughness, tenderness and gravitas as we learn her tragic back story in the film’s final third.

One of our favorite cars in the film was the guitar player with speakers. Not only was it ingenious work of art, it was innovative, inventive and like any king with his thrown, he needs his theme music (the court jester). Miller finds a way to make Fury Road’s carnage inventive during the high-speed action sequences filled with twisted metal and pandemonium.

Fury Road is grimmer, grittier and crazier than ever which makes perfect sense since it’s years later and the sour planet earth has driven almost all of the planets survivors insane. Miller has literally TURNT up the satisfying demolition derby that pits the matriarch against the patriarchy while standing as the action film to beat for the rest of the summer.

We loved every grimy second of Mad Max Fury Road. It was action at it’s best. The film is all about the action since the leads of the film carry their performances with lots of non-verbal sequences.

All we have to say is thank you George Miller for bring back Mad Max…he has been redeemed from his dreadful Thunderdome.

We hope there is another installment of the over-cranked action film packed with a sick smile, and that Hardy and Theron are back on board for another high-speed chase on the dead planet earth.
