Mad Max: Fury Road (Oscar Nominated)

For my Oscar nominated movie I watched  Mad Max: Fury Road. I chose it because it was the only one I had at my house. I liked the movie well enough but it wasn't that amazing. I liked the costume design and set/props. Charlize Theron was amazing in my opinion and a really good heroine. Tom Hardy was good too but I felt his character didn't do as much for the plot, at least not as much as I thought he would. Also on a side note I have not seen any of the originals. I really liked how the women in the movie are big characters and aren't just letting themselves be walked on. At first I didn't think I was going to like Nux very much but he was actually one of my favorite characters. His mind set and determination make for a very interesting character, and I was actually kinda upset when he sacrificed himself. The movie touched on a lot of different themes, like home, redemption and family/unity. I liked this movie but I definitely thought it focused a bit more than necessary on the fighting instead of the story, then again the timeline for the movie is only a few days and I don't know if seeing any of the originals would change my opinion. I'd give it a 6.5/10
