Mad Max: Fury Road is incredible. You probably already know this, either because you’ve seen the film or someone has frantically rushed up to you and shouted something along the lines of, “GAGHHH IT’S AMAZING GO SEE IT YESTERDAY.” It puts every action movie of the last decade to shame. It’s so perfectly executed, so well realized, so beautifully shot, and so wonderfully performed that the only appropriate reaction is to bow down before it. Every upcoming summer blockbuster should be shaking in its boots right now. Jurassic World might wind up being a fun time but is it going to rock your world the way Mad Max does? Not a chance in hell. Movies this good don’t come along very often.
Mere words cannot do the film justice. It’s not a flick about words; it’s a flick about forward momentum. So, here is my attempt to describe to you what it is like to watch this absolute masterpiece for the first time. I’m not going to use long winded metaphors or drawn out sentences filled with flowery and pretentious praise (well, not anymore anyway). This is a visceral film and what is the Internet’s best way of describing a visceral experience? That’s right! GIFS!!!!
WHAT IT FELT LIKE WHEN THE FILM BEGAN
WE’RE THROWN RIGHT INTO THE ACTION AND IT’S LIKE…
THEN THERE’S A BIG CHASE SCENE AND YOU JUST SAY…
BECAUSE THE ACTION ACTUALLY MEANS SOMETHING WHICH MAKES YOU SAY…
AND THEN THE CHARACTERS START WORKING TOGETHER AND YOU JUST GO…
BUT SOON AFTERWARDS TRAGEDY OCCURS…
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO CATCH YOUR BREATH…
BUT SOON THERE’S ANOTHER CRAZY ACTION SCENE…
AND THEN A PLAN IS FORMED…
THERE’S MORE CRAZY ACTION, SERIOUSLY IT’S SO INSANE YOU JUST FEEL LIKE DOING THIS…
YOU’RE ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT…
AND THEN YOU JUST WANNA DO THIS…
AND AS THE CREDITS ROLL, IT’S LIKE…
BECAUSE YOU JUST WANT HOLLYWOOD TO BE THIS GOOD ALL THE TIME…
BUT THEN YOU GO HOME HAPPY BECAUSE THE MOVIE WAS SO GREAT
AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS…
GET CHOMPED
