Mad Max is an Australian dystopian action media franchise. It is a fun ride and an enjoyable watch, but not a groundbreaking development for action films.MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the finest piece of pure action spectacle that I've watched since THE RAID 2 and JOHN WICK. Tom Hardy does a pretty okay job in this film, but he also has the same style as he does in a great majority of his work. Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth film in the Mad Max film series and the first to star Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky.
