Mad Max Fury Road: 5 Awesome Moments And 5 That Sucked

You may have heard that Theron is the real star of this movie, and while that's not strictly true (it's very much a two-hander ) she is by far the best thing in it. Max has always been portrayed as a "man with no name" type, who gets embroiled in situations with people he winds up begrudgingly helping; the thing is, we've never met one of those characters quite like Imperator Furiosa, and she does kinda end up stealing some of Max's thunder(dome).

A ferocious Amazonian warrior one minute, a thoughtful protector the next, Furiousa really is the beating heart of this film, and Theron has never been better. Miller originally planned to shoot a solo adventure for Furiosa back-to-back with Fury Road, but that wasn't to be. Hopefully it's not the last we see of her though, because it would be a waste of one of the most intriguing, exciting characters - male or female - in modern cinema.
