Mad Max Fury Road (summer 2015)

http://youtu.be/YWNWi-ZWL3c

Saw the trailer today in the theater. Holy E36 M3 does stuff blow up in a righteous fashion. I'm so in for this.

Have we talked about this and I missed it?

Yes we've had a couple threads on it already.

Must have missed them and google didnt turn up anything. Sorry. Never mind. Nuthin to see here. Move along.

THE MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!!

Holy crap, not only were the action scenes awesome, but the rest of the movie was fantastic.

i will not see it. not even on accident.

Wasn't super interested but all of the super positive reviews have me wanting to check it out.

I went with a friend who isn't a Mad Max fan, nor a car guy. He loved it. Yes it is violent, but I was actually surprised how gore was not the focus. There is blood, but honestly the shock factor gore wasn't there. There is a lot of subtle stuff too. And holy crap the sets are detailed. I may go see it again in a newer theater with better sound. I went to a cheap matinee theater and the sound was kind of weak.

Why not? I think I'm gonna see it this weekend, you don't often see a movie getting such uniformly and highly positive reviews.

Saw it today and glad I paid to see it in the theater. The movie was different then anything I was expecting and an excellent take on the concept. Like pieces of the original three mixed together in a familiar but totally different and brilliant way. And like the first, some of the stunts made cringe. Wez is a lightweight compared to some of the new bad guys.

I won't go to the theater and see it, but I will pick up the dvd.

It's been over 15 years since I went to a theater to see a movie by myself. My wife wants nothing to do with this movie so I may just go by myself to see it in the theater.

Saw 7 Fast, 7 Furious today. Picked up a free Fury Road poster. Plan on seeing it once the crowds calm down.

Holy crap, 99% on RottenTomatoes? I wasn't planning on seeing this one in the theater, but I may need to change those plans.

Yea my girl doesn't like violent movies and we're 2100 miles apart so I think I'll be the creepy dude chowing down on popcorn by my lonesome to this one.

That's not creepy in a Mad Max or superhero movie. Girlfriend did not want to go is understood.

It's creepy in a rom-com, and VERY creepy in a kids movie.

If I get to see Fury Road in a theatre, I'll be flying solo due to spousal disinterest.

This movie sucked.

It was 2 hours of driving around in a desert and fending off attacks from weirdos.

Bad guy dies. Somehow. Not really sure how. Kinda know how but not sure...

Movie over.

Sweet.

3rd worst movie I ever saw.

P.s. I am a huge fan of the original mad max movies. This wasn't those. It wasn't anything.

Plot.... Shakey and sparse.

Acting... If you include about 20 lines and acting like you are dying, then I guess there was some.

Like seeing weird monstrous cars wrecked and blown up.... This is the movie for you.

How the berkeley did this movie get good reviews?

A woman on the radio said "It has no story, was absolutely pointless, and I loved it".

See, that right there, is the perfect review. Its a two hour explodey car chase. What do you need?

It's definitely more of a car-guy's movie. Scantily clad ladies running around in the desert with pokies? Awesome. Nitro fueled lifted rat rods? Even better.

That being said, as much fun as it is I don't think it was worth the $15 for ticket and popcorn.

I was a bit disappointed about the....turn around of the plot. I wanted to see the world expanded, not shrunk.

I want to see it so bad, and so do my 9, and 13 year old boys, but I don't think it's appropriate. What say those who have seen it so far?

Even as a hit set up for sequels, Charlize Theron said she will not be returning to her role. Apparently, she and Hardy did not get along.

In reply to Mazdax605:

It's actually not that bad. I mean, there is a lot of death and destruction, but it isn't that gory, not like a Tarantino movie.

Everything happens so quick its hard to understand how people are dying.

I didn't like that many character seemed to survive pretty horrific crashes, and I'd worry that a kid might think they can just go jumping out of a vehicle and survive.

I saw it and liked it. Yes, some vintage metal got trashed, I can just hope they were junkyard finds and not clean cars bought out of convenience.

Stunt work seemed pretty good. The little CGI used was well done, the dust storm scene was pretty epic. Some nice homages to the first films including a great undercranked shot early in the movie.

Yes the plot and acting weren't the best, Theron did what she could with what was handed to her. It's more about the imagery and action.
