Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes:
1) "For anyone who denied that Titus Andronicus could ever be mashed up with The Cannonball Run, here is your answer, and we are only too happy to follow Nux as he cries, "What a lovely day!," and accelerates into a whirlwind of fire," wrote Anthony Lane from New Yorker.
2) "Thirty years after Miller gave the world Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, he's returned to his own post-apocalyptic world and created an exceptional, fearless and poetic masterpiece that's primed to become a modern classic," wrote Lindsey Bahr from Associated Press.
3) "An operatic extravaganza of thrilling action and nearly non-stop mayhem ... exhilarating, deranged and exhausting in almost equal measures," wrote Claudia Puig from USA Today.
4) "Miller has the dubious distinction of essentially creating the post-apocalyptic action genre, and in this film, set some 40 years after the fall of the world, he outdoes himself," wrote Peter Rainer from Christian Science Monitor.
5) "Fury Road is also one of the best action movies of the decade, a punk Last Judgment with manic invention and depraved wit on display in every frame," wrote Alex Pappademas from Grantland.
