What's been said

Viewers and critics greeted Mad Max: Fury Road with near-universal enthusiasm, with Metacritic registering a score of 90 out of 100 indicating 'universal acclaim' and Rotten Tomatoes surveying 97 percent of reviews as positive. The overwhelming praise targets the film's action filmmaking craft: critics called it 'a stone-cold action master class' for its coherent, relentlessly inventive chase sequences, practical stunt work, and the visual storytelling that keeps it thrilling without relying on cheap CGI. The most common dissent, heard from a minority of viewers, is that the plot is thin and Max himself is sidelined with minimal dialogue, leaving some feeling the character work is underdeveloped. Notably, the film was listed on over 170 critics' top-ten lists for 2015, topped Metacritic's year-end tally, and went on to win six Academy Awards at the 88th ceremony, more than any other film that year.
