Still think this could go either way.  Certainly looks like Road Warrior, which I don't have a problem with, but the original Mad Max was my favorite.

I hope they don't just gloss over the reason Max became Mad in the first place.  If they just cram that into the first 15 minutes I will be disappointed.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/15/entertainment/mad-max-fury-road-boycott-mens-rights-thr-feat/
Quote
"Let us be clear. This is the vehicle by which they are guaranteed to force a lecture on feminism down your throat," writes Clarey. "This is the Trojan Horse feminists and Hollywood leftists will use to (vainly) insist on the trope women are equal to men in all things, including physique, strength, and logic."

He calls for a boycott:

"So do yourself and all men across the world a favor. Not only REFUSE to see the movie, but spread the word to as many men as possible. Not all of them have the keen eye we do here at (Return of Kings.) And most will be taken in by fire tornadoes and explosions. Because if they sheepishly attend and Fury Road is a blockbuster, then you, me, and all the other men (and real women) in the world will never be able to see a real action movie ever again that doesn't contain some damn political lecture or moray about feminism, SJW-ing, and socialism."

Sounds like this movie was made for JE

I bet it goes on a rant about drugs, and at the end of the movie Mad Max and the rebels abolish the death penalty together.

Oh great.  When my 5 year old sneaks in, he's probably going to think all R rated movies are ok for him.

Kid says since I won't take him, he's going to buy a ticket for Home, switch the signs on the theaters, and watch as much as he can before they realize it and say "WUHHHHHHHH?"

There's minimal gore, almost no profanity, and only brief nudity.  There's a weird shot where women are getting their breasts pumped for milk that would be a little too much for a 5 year old.  And another scene where a woman is naked, but you don't see anything except her derriere. 

It felt like a PG-13 movie.

Oh, I'm not taking him to an R rated movie regardless, but it's pretty funny that the one he's somehow obsessed with seeing was pretty PG13.

Not sure the breast milk would do much.  Plenty of women around here breast feed openly.  He's seen them get sucked on.  He knows what's in there.

Saw it yesterday. freaking awesome. Great start tons full series reboot.

I simply couldn't get over tge guitar slave in tge front of tge truck. Lol everyone it was on screen I melted in laughter . Kind of threw me off and ruined momentum at points lol not a serious knock though just laughable.


The cinematography is freaking insane. Hard to imagine pulling it off. Orchestrated chaos are the first two words that come to mind. That's a compliment though.


Charlize Theron was freaking awesome. Hope they delve more into his PTSD / Max Payne esque  hallucinations  in the next film.


But this is a great stepping stone to what could be a mind blowing remake of Thunderdome.


Either way great acting, costume n set designs, just top notch all around.

Lol the freaking guitar though.


Lol when the War Lord first turns on the water my friend leans in and says "this is how capitalism works."

I replied "it's the CEO of Nestle water "

Point in case, if your a fan of the original or just looking for a legit blockbuster action film. Go see it. Don't hesitate.



I have no idea why someone decided to bring a freaking toddler to mad max though.  Lil fucker was babbling out loud every 5 seconds like clockwork


Either the parent grew a brain or they were drowned out by the mayhem thst ensued later though lol

In retrospect  I'm just realizing this isn't a reboot is it? Cause those visions could be a post Thunderdome reference.


I didn't read any of tge media presser for this. Is it just a continuation of the first 3 storylines? Cause that'd make a lot more sense to Max lack of lines and just being numb

Not enough character development, seemed a little shallow in the overall plot, etc. I wasn't expecting a psychological thriller by any means, but I would have enjoyed a little more depth.  All the action scenes were awesome but I never really felt immersed in the world of Mad Max.

George Miller shouldn't have to provide any kind of backstory.  It's the fourth film and literally all of the characters except for Max were new.

The visions were more than enough backstory for a character that took the backseat to Furiosa.

The most recent Mad Max iteration is 30 years old... I get that he does not owe the audience back story but it's not like the previous films are fresh in people's minds. The majority of his target audience was likely not even born yet when the first films released

Miller explained things through visuals just as much, if not more, than just with dialogue.  This could probably work as a silent film with the score laid over it.

The films are very accessible and Fury Road has been announced since 2003.

Are people just not supposed to watch the original Star Wars trilogy before the new film comes out because they came out a long time ago? 

It isn't the film's fault or Miller's fault that you didn't know what was going on in his universe.

Just googling the freaking thing brings me to an 8 paragraph page that ends in, "We will be witnessing the re-envisioning of Max's character (reboot), sometime after Beyond Thunderdome (sequel)

For the record, Mad Max was 1979.  It's the best story of the original trilogy, but Road Warrior obviously gets the action creds.  How in the freak would it take you 9 hours to watch 4.5 hours of movies anyway?  You could take a good dump and Thunderdome would be over.  You would have missed nothing.

I assumed each movie was going to be atleast 2 hours and over exaggerated a bit.  Guess I was wrong.  I probably should have given them a watch, but I've had so much Mad Max overload, over the past 6 months that the thought of sitting down and watching a trilogy based on it, sounded terrible.

Yes character development over the course of multiple movies, rather than the 1 movie I saw which was not a sequel.  Whether you want to admit it or not, very few milennials saw any of the original mad max movies.  It was also marketed as you didnt have to see the previous films.

Yes character development over the course of multiple movies, rather than the 1 movie I saw which was not a sequel.

You keep saying this, but if multiple flashbacks and past storylines were used, then how was it not? 

It was a continuation of Max's story.  Claiming that it didn't have character development is freaking retarded because it absolutely did if you were paying attention. 

Furiosa's backstory was explained.  She was a completely new character.  She was the focal point of the film, not Max.

Because GM and TH both said this was a supplemental movie that was being added to an updated universe, and stated that it was not a sequel.  Also being someone that worked on the marketing of the film, we were told countless times by execs that this was not a sequel, and that it should stand on its own.

Did these flashbacks relate to previous movies? 

You do realize that there is more involved in character development than showing part of a characters past....

Thank you for saving me from this.  Yesterday while I was at work I tried to find a gif of Cartman saying "freaking Kyle".  This most likely would have been strike 2 for me.

I never said it wasn't related I said it wasn't a sequel, which still holds true.  That being said based on what you've said regarding the flashbacks, the original movies stories clearly had some influence on this movie.   I'm not sure why I was never told this over the past 6 months.... interesting.

Wow this thread is stupid.  Fenwyr is the only one who has the right opinion.

This is not like freaking Star Wars.  That's stupid and you know it.  The original trilogy at the very least is more necessary than the Mad Max trilogy by several country miles.

You don't need to see the originals to be able to appreciate this Mad Max.  I don't get how anyone wasn't immediately immersed in Miller's bizarre universe.  This stood on its own.  It really, really didn't need character development.  I went with a couple of long long careered screenwriters.  The best comment?  "Guarantee that script was 5 pages long, and a 6th page would have ruined it."

Seriously, none of this excrement about character development was remotely necessary.  I can't believe the argument is being made let alone being taken so seriously.

I heard an interview with Charlize Theron a few months ago and she was pretty pissed that she's not going to be in it. Apparently she and Tom Hardy absolutely hated each other, so maybe Miller just didn't want the headache again.

Origin story / prequel, so no Theron or Hardy. Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth.

And it's still Miller. I just hope he goes a bit deeper on story this time: Fury Road was great but I don't think another movie so action heavy will work as effectively.

Hadn't heard about it but it sounds interesting. The Russo Brothers are writing and directing, so if nothing else I would expect it to be fairly spectacular. Sounds a bit like Bourne is a better comparison than Bond though.

Actually he seems like a nice guy, he's Canadian, and I like a couple of his movies, specifically Blade Runner 2049 and The Big Short. I just find some of his performances, and some of his movie choices, to be a bit excrement.
