Tom Hardy May Have Replaced Mel Gibson, But George Miller’s Latest Installment of the Mad Max Saga Stars Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa!
THE HEYMAN HUSTLE was on hand as Sean Penn accompanied Charlize Theron to the world premiere of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, director George Miller’s first Road Warrior movie in three decades. The reviews, by the way, are in, and while everyone is raving about the film, the one thing that stands out more than anything is that Tom Hardy’s replacement of Mel Gibson takes a back seat to Charlize’s portrayal of Imperator Furiosa, a smart, fearsome, one-armed rogue soldier bent on smuggling five women to freedom inside a gasoline truck with Max’s initially reluctant help. Miller’s old-school post-apocalyptic vision dazzles the eye and engages the mind in ways that practically no contemporary blockbusters do.The dialogue is sparing, it works as a stand-alone story (you don’t need to catch up on the three Gibson films. though if you do … pass on the 3rd, check out the 1st, marvel about the 2nd) and isn’t busy setting up a sequel. In short, it’s a blessed deliverance from the tiresome universe-building, sanitized violence and rampant sexism of, say, the bloated Marvel epics. Sorry Marvel fans. But that’s a true statement about the new Mad Max movie as well as an indictment of the Marvel dribble that has been put out lately.
The women, some of them pregnant, are fleeing Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who was the Toecutter in the 1st Max movie), who brutally rules a desert city called the Citadel and had imprisoned his five “wives” so he could force one of them to bear him a male heir. Joe leads a convoy of tricked-out vehicles with gonzo warriors to recover his “property” … with Max spending much of the first half-hour in an iron mask, serving literally as a human hood ornament (and blood donor) for Nux (Nicholas Hoult), arguably the nuttiest member of Joe’s army. Max eventually joins forces with Furiosa and provides some key advice, but with Theron’s steely gaze, stoic determination and action chops, she’s very much the one calling the shots for this badly outnumbered band.
