Just Saw Mad Max: Fury Road

Mmmmm Napalm · May 16, 2015, 12:27:14 AM

That was the most bizarre, fucked up, and disturbing film I've seen in a long time...

It was fucking awesome.

Theron's mechanical arm was really cool, as were all the vehicles. Humor was great, villains were creepy, deformities were abound. I wouldn't watch this film if you're easily disturbed or squeamish.

My main complaint is the cinematography. It's interesting, very 300-esque. Depending on the scene, I either liked or disliked it. Other than that, there was little I disliked. The film could've been reduced in length slightly, but this isn't really a problem.

8/10. I advise you all to travel through the doors of your nearest theater, shiny and chrome!

I agree with everything you said. I had never seen a Mad Max movie before so there were some things I was confused about at first.

When I got home the original movie just happened to be on TV and I didn't really understand how it went from basically normal to complete insane wasteland in just a couple movies.

Fun fact: Immortan Joe was played by the same guy who played Toecutter in Mad Max 1

Just saw Fury Road today, and am still hyped as fuck. Best action movie I've seen in years. Great, subtle storytelling, just the right amount of humor, fantastic visual direction, INCREDIBLE OST. Theron and Hardy fucking nailed it. All of the supporting cast was great too, especially Nux. Can't wait for more Madness in the future. You can really tell that this has always been George Miller's vision for the franchise. Made great use of practical and CGI effects

way i understand it is mad max 1 is kinda like the setup for the shit to hit the fan. also, each of the movies kinda exists in their own "continuity"- The Road Warrior is like this insane folk legend, almost like the Australian film James Bond, so we get these pseudo-anthology stories about his exploits.

That's pretty cool. I definitely want to check out 2 and 3 now.

I can't wait for a sequel, especially considering the last awesome action movie I saw, Dredd (2012) doesn't appear to be getting one.

I have no clue about anything Mad Max. My friend loves the series though, so I'll watch this one and just be confused.

Pendulate · May 16, 2015, 12:48:22 AM

The reviews are much better than I expected.

Watch Mad Mad and The Road Warrior if you can. Thunderdome is good it's just not on the same level as the first two and Fury Road IMO. Great movies. You don't need to have seen the original trilogy to "get" this one tho.

You don't need to watch the other films to understand this movie, and there's a scene that provides some brief background info.

I'd skip 3 if I were you, that is unless you enjoy unapologetic kiddie marketing.

Ugh... They were like the post apocalyptic equivalent of the ewoks.

Chrome paint.

Guess it's some kind of ritual they do before an heroing kind of like an Allahu Akbar or something.

Onioncart · May 31, 2015, 07:57:26 PM

Cool, looking forward to seeing it.

Dan · May 31, 2015, 08:07:52 PM

It was okay. Not as good as people were saying it was, and it definitely didn't live up to the hype.
