If Quentin Tarantino rates a film, you know it’s a good one.
The super director has picked ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ as his favourite of 2015, despite at first finding it hard to accept the idea of Tom Hardy replacing Mel Gibson.
He’s since watched the film three times.
Asked for his top movie of the year, he told Cinemablend: “It would have to be the ‘Mad Max’ movie, ‘Fury Road’….I got a print of Mad Max on 35mm and I watched it in my house, and I had it all weekend and I ended up watching it three different times.
“And I resisted seeing it for a while because I was like, ‘Mad Max without Mel Gibson? Forget that!’ In a world where Mel Gibson exists, how can you cast Tom Hardy? So, I even wanted to get all defiant about it and #NotMyMax.
“Then I saw the movie and, ‘OK, it’s terrific,’ and he’s pretty good in it, I have to admit, he’s pretty good.”
