| Looks pretty damn good. |
Where the fuck did Monday go? |
| Going to watch it in 2 hours. Damn excited. |
 |
I didn't know he acted |
| Yep, the movie was fantastic. Definitely worth all the hype. Good to see George Miller showing all those CGI films how real action movies are made. |
|
| Yeah, seen it yesterday. This movie should please the feminists, I swear Charlize Theron's character got more emphasis than Max, lel. But it is a good movie, very entertaining, with good action scenes, I loved all the references and the over the topness (That flamethrower guitarist!) "Witness me!" |
| No Mel Gibson, no Mad Max. |
 |
| Yeah, it's fucking good. Oddly enough it feels a bit bashful regarding "raw" violence but i guess that's just me nitpicking. |
| If it's anything compared to the first 3 then probably worth going to watch. But then again I haven't been to the cinema in close to 4 years, so doubt I'll go. |
| looks great I might watch it next week |
| 98% on rotten tomatoes is an understatement, highly recommend. |

| I just watched this movie today, it was awesome! For once the trailer lived up to the hype and then some. The movie was a whole lot of fun. It's definitely the best hot wheels movie ever made.

True, but I didn't mind her Imperator Furiosa was badass. |

| So it turns out it is indeed feminist propaganda. I have thought Charlize Theron was a cunt for a long time anyway. So of course I will join the boycott. Even though I've not paid to watch a movie in five years....eh... http://www.maledefender.com/boycott-mad-max-fury-road/ |

Even though I've not paid to watch a movie in five years....eh... http://www.maledefender.com/boycott-mad-max-fury-road/ Really, you just believe what a bunch of morons who are scared that their masculinity is threatened said. Yes, the movie is something feminists are raving about but when you actually see it, you realize people read too much into it. In fact the movie makes sense. This is Imperator Furiosa's story, not Max's. He's there because he happened to be there. There's no overly obvious feminist propaganda in the film, the only thing you see is that the female characters are not the weaklings and damsels you see in every other action movie. Furiosa is just as badass as Max, that's it. Max is not being emasculated or anything. Charlize Theron was brilliant as Furiosa, her character was a strong female but it wasn't overbearing or preachy. She was actually pretty tame for a 'feminist' character. Other than that, Fury Road is something you should see at least once on the big screen. You can watch it on your TV or whatever, but you'll miss out on one heck of an experience. |
|
| Even if it was feminist propaganda I'd still watch it, it's the best action movie of the decade, and besides, as Khaosman said, this is Furiosa's story, Max is basically narrating it to the viewer, just like other characters did in the previous movies of the franchise, narrating Max's stories. |

| Feminist propaganda or not, I don't really give a shit. Is the movie good? Going by what I've heard, yes it is. Will definitely be watching this. |

| I thought it was a great fucking movie, and I'm definitely not what you'd call a feminist lol. It does piss me off how much people want to politicize the movie though. How feminists want to claim the movie as their own and the reactionary MRAs showing faux outrage. It just shows you how narrow some people's political views are, they can't just look at a movie and say its a good movie without saying that it offends them or confirms their political beliefs. |

I'm not pro-feminist, I find them aggressive and obnoxious but these guys are just as bad. Instead of using your brain to decide for yourself if the film is feminist propaganda or not. You immediately follow what some neckbeard on the internet thinks about the movie like sheep. I hadn't read about these manchildren whining about the movie until after I saw it. It's literally the only complain about the movie I've read. I watched the movie, at no point did I think it was propaganda of any kind. It had a well written strong female protagonist alongside the iconic Mad Max. Did she steal the spotlight in the movie? In my opinion, yes. Does that matter? No, the character was well written and acted. Charlize Theron did an amazing job as usual. There is no agenda in the dialogue. The whole movie was a big chase scene. The dialogue mostly consisted of "How many bullets do we have" grunting coming from Max and random nonsense about Valhalla and Chrome from Nux. In short, Hollywood releases a movie with a female character that isn't a damsel in distress and a better shot than her male counterpart. A group of idiotic 'male rights activist' yell bloody murder. Ironically this isn't the first time a Mad Max movie featured a strong female character. Did these guys even watch 'Beyond Thunderdome? |

vodall said: I seem to be the only one who thought it was insultingly bad. I've never felt like more of an idiot watching a feature film. Maybe it's just because I don't care about things solely made for entertainment value; I need strong characters and an OK plot. That said, I didn't enjoy the movie whatsoever. Ah well, the Mad Max series was never really known for strong characters or anything like that. It was always the action scenes, overall weirdness and post-apocalyptic look of the world. What made people like Fury Road so much? It's an action film that doesn't rely on CGI and makes no attempt to hide from basking in the craziness the original movies were well-known for. But I guess like you said, you don't like things that seem to be outright made for entertainment value, so maybe that's why you didn't enjoy the film. I can respect that as I too sometimes don't see the fuss in many critically acclaimed films. |

| I didn't find this feminist at all. It's made by the guy who directed all the other movies, who is now 70, not some young impressionable person. DrCoppelius said: I want to see it at home. The sound wasn't that good. Often, I couldn't hear the characters clearly. They blast the sound too loudly, which makes it sound even crappier. I think I'll only go to IMAX theaters from now on, if they play in 2D. I hadn't watched a movie in theaters for years. Easily one of the most fantastic movies I've seen in a while and probably my favorite of the Mad Max franchise, although obviously seeing it in theaters helped. The movie was pretty good. It's right up there with Mad Max 2. The only thing I wasn't satisfied with was the soundtrack. It wasn't that fun. It had mostly heavy, fast repetition and deep, oppressive tremors that I forgot soon after, like a lot of modern movie music. Also, I was hoping to see Max in his car again after that iconic opening shot. I'm not putting it against the movie, though. |

When the chips are down, they both know how to take care of themselves. Charlize Theron's Furiosa also has a backstory which makes sense as it implies why she is so capable. And one more thing, it's not a female character. Actually, ALL of the female characters aren't damsels in distress. Watch it and you'll see why. The best part is that it's awesome because it isn't really the cliched female badassery you're talking about. |
|
| Yeah. Maybe it's because I know nothing about the mad max series but I thought it was horrendous. This was my conclusion I also don't understand what was wrong with Max's voice... he sounded like a rusted pipe for the longest while. |

I thought that was every hollywood movie now? not saying anything about the new mad max film because i haven't seen it yet but hollywood has over compensated in the past on female characters making them just the best characters ever, the best shots, the toughest of the group, the smartest and so on Yeah that is true to a certain extent, Khaosman answered this better than me but I'll give you my opinion. Hollywood is driven by trends, right now it's super heroes, strong women, and black people. What impressed me about Max Max is that Furiosa's character wasn't something that was tacked on or written for the sake of going "HEY LOOK AT THIS STRONG WOMAN!" She had a backstory, she had a ulterior motive for running not just saving the other girls. Her backstory was explored in a variety of ways. Some of it was told through dialogue while the rest of it unfolded through actions and body language. It was clear the she and Immortal Joe had some kind of history but it was never outright told. They left it up to the viewer to fill in the gaps, using what we already knew and her character design as a template. Something I found refreshing from a Hollywood production. They aren't keen on leaving things up to the imagination nowadays. Her character also wasn't the standard female bad ass. Usually when Hollywood does a bad ass female she's either really broody/bitchy or a femme fatale in a skimpy outfit who is only out for blood. Furiosa didn't exactly fit that mold. Everything about her starting from her character design to personality screamed survivor. She was a slightly less crazy female version of Mad Max. Someone who clearly has been through hell but her will was never broken. Honestly, I might be overrating the movie because I have a personal bias for post apocalyptic films and I love weird stuff. It's just that lately we have been bombarded with cheesy super hero movies and crappy remakes. That it's nice to see something new, even if it's from an old franchise. Also, everyone seems to be focusing on Imperator Furiosa but both Nux and Mad Max were also great in this movie. I was very surprised with how Nux's character evolved throughout the movie and while he's no Mel Gibson, I really warmed up to Tom Hardy as Max. I wasn't sure if he could pull it off, quite frankly I didn't like his performance as Bane. He looked the part but his accent just made laugh my ass off whenever he was on screen. He did a great job as Max, would like to see him reprise the role in a sequel if there is one. Last thing I want to say is that the costume work in this movie was very good. The didn't overuse CGI, there were a lot of practical effects. Yet it wasn't overbearing like a Michael Bay production. The chase scene when they entered the sand storm looked amazing. |

Fullmetal89 said: No need to be so modest, dude. Your explanation is way better than mine. And if any of you on MAL here still haven't seen it, please go see it in the cinema. Don't wait for the DVD/Bluray or watch it pirated (you cheap bastards). Not only is the big-screen experience worth it, George Miller himself has confirmed that developments for a sequel called Mad Max: The Wasteland are underway. A moderate success at the box office should be a good enough indicator for the studio to let Miller continue with the plan. |

| Just came home from watching it a second time. Despite knowing exactly what's going to happen throughout the whole movie, it was still exciting to watch the stunts and action once again. Since I know the whole story already, I was able to look at other things in each scene and I actually discovered some interesting bits of stuff here and there. And for those who watched the original movies, there's plenty of easter eggs, would list them out but don't wanna give away anything. Fury Road is currently $30 million from covering it's production costs. It's barely going into the second week, so there's a chance it will and it means the planned sequel called Mad Max: Wasteland should be on the way. |

Mindless entertainment that does nothing for your intelligence has always been what people want from movies... unless of course, when it's Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rambo: First Blood, Dirty Harry, the first Rocky, The Godfather, the better half of Pixar movies, Shawshank Redemption, Empire Strikes Back, Pan's Labyrinth, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Silence of the Lambs, The Shining, Pulp Fiction... Oh I'm sorry. I forgot this is the 21st Century, where good movies go to die. My bad. Let's go watch the remake of Poltergeist and see what Fast and Furious movies those folks are gonna come up with next, eh? C'mon dude, Grownups 3 is going to be awesome. |

| I loved the movie and can't wait to see it again. I didn't think it was feminist at all until I went online and started reading everyone's reaction to it and dumb azz boycotting petitions. 95 percent of Hollywood movies still cast the young white guy to carry their movie. So what if this one decides to give a woman the spotlight? If it makes for a great movie then why not? |

| Fury Road earned enough over the weekend to cover it's budget. Warner Bros was said to be pleased with the result. Looks like there'll be nothing holding George Miller back from getting on with the next movie that he's planning right now. |

| I don't get the hype, but I will probably give it a shot, just out of curiosity. |

| Fun action at its best. I loved the movie. Also really dislike the "brainless entertainment" comments. It doesn't have to be intelligent or complex in order to be good. It's like music, I'm not going to shit over the Beatle's yesterday because it's not as complex as Bach's fugues, am I? Fun action movies can still be pretty fucking awesome, and trust me, a lot of talent, and hard-work comes into making movies like these. Like someone else in this thread already said, this movie will still be talked about 20 years from now. Definitely going to turn out to be a cult classic. Good shit hollywood, good shit. |
