I would go see it, but being the way I am I would have to see the the first Mad Max movies first. it will probably be awhile before I see it. The controversy surrounding the movie is fucking stupid though. One maybe two sites said they wouldn't see because of the focus on the female characters or whatever and that was blown up to be a huge boycott somehow and now people are like "I am going to see a million times just to spite those toxic MRA scum". Really? Are you that shallow? Buying/supporting something because of such spite always rubs me the wrong way.

And the worst part is that I just don't see it. The whole movie was pretty politically incorrect, so why should feminism play a role? It seemed to me that director just liked women, and that is most definitely a thing I have in common with him :D For fuck's sake, there was a scene where those half-naked chicks were bathing in semi-transparent white dresses. I like watching badass females. Females are cool. Males are cool. Can't say I care too much.

Went last night with the missus. We loved it. We loved it so much we are going to see it again.

After we see movies there is always the "Oh I didn't like that part or they could've done better".

there was none of that afterwards. Just holy shit that awesome!

Most movies are billed as thrill rides. This actually is. It knows its own lineage and doesn't turn away or try to redo it. It expands on it . When one of your characters rides atop a mobile stage with a flame-throwing guitar, you are leaning heavily on style. But on the opposite side of the spectrum it has strong themes and a good substance to the characters that never dragged themselves out or rubbed any messages in your face. Its about home, survival and vanity.

Fury Road is fucking primal. Go see it.

Economy of character motion. I think because We all know about Max. We have seen him before. But we haven't seen Furiosa. In the other moviesas well as this one , Max is more of a guiding force as opposed to a driving one.

Turns out my wife isn't a fan of postapocalyptic setting :-/

... And she thought it was great regardless. Doesn't want to go see it again with me tho. I need to drag another poor soul into a cinema to be enlightened! Still, yeah, we were utterly incapable of finding flaws with it. I don't think it would be because it's perfect - I think it's because it's so damn weird that you can't even process what is happening on the screen properly, let alone look for flaws. Still, if I want a tangible evidence of how live action and actual acrobatics are preferrable to overuse of CGI, I'll just point to Avengers: Age of Ultron and Mad Max. In former, things just sort of ... Happen. Awesome things, sure, but they don't feel awesome. In Mad Max, on the other hand, everything has weight, tangible impact. Nothing is slightly off as it tends to be in heavily-CGI action, you feel physically exhausted by what is happening.

It's a good film, I did not understand why people were going blind though.

Saw it yesterday, I liked it a lot. Yeah, it's not a reboot, I'm happy with this. But it's a truly Mad Max movie. I liked it a lot, I also find Hardy is much better than Gibson.

Saw it, loved it, kicked the other upcoming movies' asses. I WANT MOAR.

Went to see it when it came out last Friday, and it's without a doubt one of those movies best seen in a cinema. Loved it.

Yeah, story was minimal, none of the characters were all that important, but my god! just the design of the whole thing was wacked. Loved that 'band' wagon as there was no point to it other than being a visual showpiece. It really felt like something that could have been ripped straight out of some '80s heavy metal comic or the like.

What I liked best about it that it all was predominantly live-action shots, which made it feel like a real living (albeit absolutely bonkers) world. Aside from the sand storm I had a very hard time telling what was actually done digitally. Now that's how CGI should be used. I'm definitely a bit tired of so many sci-fi movies heavily overdoing it, at which point it just ends up looking really fake. No such problem here.

In a way I'd say it's actually my favorite Mad Max movie to date. It's rare that a follow-up after such a long gap (three decades) manages to be decent, let alone as good as this one. Especially since George Miller is basically the creator of the entire franchise. It's good to see that some directors are actual able to improve instead of fizzle like others do... *cough* Ridley Scott *cough*.

You're in luck. There will be more! It all hinged on Fury Road's success (or possible failure), which is pretty much in the bag by now. ;)

I would first like to point out that I only saw Mad Max 1&2 fairly recently, without any nostalgia goggles The Road Warrior still holds up really well, just an awesome film. Yesterday, I watched Mad Max: Fury Road and was blown away by the adrenaline pumped visceral film making, minimal CGI and incredible practical stunts made the movie a real standout in this recent onslaught of artificial superhero comicbook movies we have been getting for the past six years.

I enjoyed it immensely and had no problem with the main character not getting all the screen time as Max was very compelling because of it, not to mention the side characters were so wonderfully psychotic and Furiosa was such a great character that deserved to be fleshed out like it was in the movie. Also one of the few movies that I noticed the 3D being effective instead of a gimmick that is shoehorned throughout like in the Marvel movies. So hats off to George Miller for a welcome return to form after all those animated movies. Its fantastic to see a director not losing their touch after so many years but actually improving with time.

It would be a real disservice to this movie if people don't watch it in the Cinema, because this is exactly the kind of picture that theaters were made for. The actors were definitely put through their paces in this one and it really adds to their performance, both Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron did a tremendous job with their roles as the chemistry between them really clicked. I am definitely going to watch it again as I am sure I missed some of the action beats with all the non-stop chaos and carnage on the screen, highly recommended.

Indeed, I don't think about politics/agendas unless people point it out and its not my concern because that is not what I was actively looking for in the movie.

YAAAAY!

"shreds imaginary flamethrower-guitar in joy"

This movie is like Pantera, it kicks everyone's ass!

Hope it makes enough money to get a sequel funded.

Mad Max 2: Shits outta control

Oh yeah, I've been to the cinema again today to re-watch the damn thing with a friend. He was blown away, as expected, and I loved it just as much. Anyway, Tom Hardy said something about 3 movies, but I really have no idea where can George Miller take it next.

Wouldn't that be Mad Max 4? Also, the title for the (possible) sequel was already announced and it will be Mad Max: Wasteland. Which frankly I find a little dissapointing after Beyond Thunderdome and Fury Road. It should be something more along the lines of Rage Land or Oncoming Storm
