captivated, spellbound, and riveted in my seat for the entire length of the movie. And that never happens for me with an action movie. There was never a lull in the action, it just became bigger, greater, and louder. And in those few moments of respite, I saw their characters shine through all that dust, sweat, and grime.

Charlize was a powerhouse; literally stole the show.

Hardy was okay as Max. Personally, I could have done without the Bane/Batman growly voice.

I would watch it again and again.

P.S. Do you, or anyone else, remember the quote at the end of the film? My barely recovered brain can't recall the words except "Wasteland" and "First History Man". or somesuch.

BOHICA - Go ahead, ask me what it means.
