	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Mad Max is back and in fine form (...) this madly entertaining new action extravaganza energetically kicks more ass, as well as all other parts of the anatomy, than any film ever made by a 70-year-old"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Brilliantly pimped reboot (...) deliriously strange action adventure, a rollicking Grand Theft Auto revamped by Hieronymous Bosch (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Hardy and Theron make a dynamite team, but Theron is the film's bruised heart and soul. So get prepped for a new action classic (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Two hours of ferocious, unfettered B-movie (...) The sort of exhilarating gonzo entertainment that makes even the nuttier “Fast and Furious” movies look like Autopia test drives"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"An operatic extravaganza of thrilling action and nearly non-stop mayhem ... exhilarating, deranged and exhausting in almost equal measures (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Lou Lumenick New York Post	"Tom Hardy succeeds Mel Gibson in the title role of “Mad Max: Fury Road,' (...) but this spectacularly great reboot is surprisingly owned not by Hardy, who is fine, but by Charlize Theron"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"A defiantly, at times deliriously, cinematic experience. (...) Max’s re-enfranchisement is a triumph of barking-mad imagination, jaw-dropping action, crackpot humour, and acting in the face of a hurricane. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The chase is on — and on and on — in 'Mad Max: Fury Road', a bulldozer action movie that’s relentless, thrilling, exhausting and numbing in equal measure."	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"A relentless action spectacle that will dazzle audiences with its visceral torque and blazing vehicular madness (...) 'Fury Road' might be the most intense and bruising action ride of the year"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Imagine if 'Cirque du Soleil' reenacted a Hieronymus Bosch painting and someone set the theatre on fire. This is more or less what Miller has come up with (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A breathlessly intense opera of violence and vehicular mayhem (...) Theron and Hardy have one of the screen’s most powerful man-on-woman fights since 'Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!'"	POS
