Mad Max Fury Road (Warning Spoilers)

[korn469]

Have you seen it yet? This is the first movie I ever watched on Regal Cinema's RPX system (I guess it's like knock off IMAX), which was also the most I've ever paid for a movie. It was awesome! Definitely worth the 30 year wait. It was 2 hours of action. The plot was simple, but it was all that was needed for the movie, no more no less. The action was INSANE!!! I got a kick of adrenaline watching it. I love the practical effects, the stunts, the overall design of the movie and the cinematography. Charlize Theron was great in it. I think I liked her character more than Max. Tom Hardy looked the part, and he was good in it, but I think Mel Gibson (at least in the Road Warrior) was a better Max, just because the character seemed more clever than the newest incarnation.

Also I know there is another thread that mentions Mad Max in it, but it is mostly a men's rights discussion. Leave the politics at the door and lets discuss one of the greatest action films ever!

I refuse to read the OP, but I've been excited about this movie for weeks... I'll see it Monday or Tuesday.

I am hella surprised that this is getting good reviews. My only reaction to the news that they were making a new Mad Max was eye rolling.

Not reading OP. May rent the movie

The plot was simple? Well that's just unacceptable. They have a brand and a legacy to live up to; when I think "Mad Max," I think complex character interactions, intricately layered subplots, and deep backstory. Who among us didn't tear up a little when he first witnessed the unbreakable bond between Humungus and his army of gay leather biker freaks?

[Sava]

I don't think I've actually seen the originals from start to finish.

just never appealed to me

and mel gibson is a fuckwit, so I probably won't ever see them

[Lorizael]

He made the originals before he fully embraced his ****witness.

[Sava]

publicly, at least

[regexcellent]

Lots of actors have ****ing retarded opinions. Mel Gibson may be an anti-semitic homophobic ******* but The Patriot still owns.

[Lorizael]

You're going to pick out The Patriot as Mel Gibson's redeeming feature?

[regexcellent]

No, it's just the scene with the tomahawk is fresh in my mind.

[Lorizael]

It's been so long since I saw that movie that I don't have any recollection of a tomahawk scene. But seriously, Lethal Weapon is where it's at.

[Sava]

The Patriot still owns.

not that it is a bad movie

but lolwat?
