Mad Max: Fury Road Initial Reviews Are 100% Fresh On Rotten Tomatoes

It seems that critics across the board are, well, mad about Max.

Mad Max: Fury Road, the latest installment in George Miller's Mad Max franchise, has reached a 100% Fresh Rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Even though Mad Max doesn't officially hit theaters until this Friday, critics who got an early look at the film only have positive words to report back.

And indeed, those critics liked what they saw. Below are some of the top critic reviews that the Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron film have picked up in the last day.

"Fury Road" is a breathlessly intense opera of violence and vehicular mayhem that demands both awe and multiple viewings to absorb everything that's happening in his packed, but never overcrowded, widescreen vistas," wrote Alonso Durlade for The Wrap

"It can safely be said that 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 — and does so far more skillfully than those turned out by most young turks half his age," wrote Todd McCarthy for The Hollywood Reporter

"Even the 'Fast and Furious' movies look like Autopia test drives next to George Miller's powerhouse reimagining of his iconic 'Mad Max' franchise," wrote Justin Chang for Variety.

"The fourth instalment of George Miller's punky post-apocalyptic 'Mad Max' saga feels like a tornado tearing through a tea party. In an age of weightless movie spectacles, here's a movie that feels like it was made by kidnapping $150 million of studio money, fleeing with it to the Namibian desert, and sending footage back to Hollywood like the amputated body parts of a ransomed hostage," wrote David Ehrlich for Time Out, giving the film 5 out of 5 stars.

As more critics see Mad Max and add their opinion to Rotten Tomatoes, it's likely that the film's score will slip by a little. But, with the early word as positive as it is, it looks like this summer's movie season may have its first unanimous hit (sorry, Avengers).

Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters on May 15.
