As many have commented, Max is often a supporting player in his own film, but Charlize Theron as the real lead is excellent too, so that's not important.
Tom Hardy feels like an obvious fit for the role and brings some working class style charisma to the part. This is the kind of film you watch to see stuff that's never been done before. With bad direction it would have been a real chore to sit through, but instead we get tons of suspense, great fight scenes, and incredible spectacle. Exemplary cinematography and quite wonderful direction is what makes this work. It's one long chase film and the amazing thing is how they manage to sustain the momentum for a good two hours. I know that some will hate it the story here is action and action alone and there's little else to get in the way. Now, I love THE ROAD WARRIOR and always will, but MAD MAX: FURY ROAD truly is an action film for our times. It feels like the MAD MAX film that George Miller always wanted to make, and in many ways it's a virtual remake of MAD MAX 2: THE ROAD WARRIOR, except with a grossly inflated budget and CGI effects used to enhance rather than dominate.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the finest piece of pure action spectacle that I've watched since THE RAID 2 and JOHN WICK.
