The guitarist dude stole the movie
sebastian feijoo it struck a chord with me
Eastyy's blogspot realy pulled my heart strings
sebastian feijoo Agreed all the way to the end. That dude was strapped as a blood bag too.
He made the action scenes with the music so much more intense
sebastian feijoo He really hit a note with me.
I have never seen any of the old Mad Max film's, but I walked away from Fury Road thinking I had just watched the greatest action film I've ever seen. I will definitely be rewatching it.
What about the Max Max movies?
***** Must be something wrong with you to call him a douchbag after praising the movie. In this case you are the douchbag here
RullyisJRM I agree
***** Its a couple movies man. I agree he should watch and enjoy them. But I dont think you needed to call him a douchebag. We cant all watch a dozen movies a day, thats unrealistic. If you are.....well shit. maybe get out and get some sun, its spring go enjoy it a bit.
Cyril I loved Thunderdome. Mind you that might be from having an awesome day. I got to go to Chuck E Cheese in the morning, then the afternoon Matinee to see Temple of Doom, and after a quick burger at a Mr. Mikes we went to see Thunderdome. Could be the nostalgia. man that was an awesome day. Makes me wish I was 10 again.
I had to run a mile for the first time in a year just to get the adrenaline out me after seeing this movie
ITS YOU RICHIE! THE FUCKING STUPID SKIPPERINO KRIPPERINO SHIT!
Raul Mejia Mad max Fury Road, is the best action movie of the decade, its so awesome
Raul Mejia lol :)
Raul Mejia "OOOH... WHAT A DAY!!!!" "WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!!!"
Raul Mejia Delrith should do that too :P
Fun fact the guy who plays Immortan Joe, Hugh Keays-Byrne, played the original antagonist in the first Mad Max, Toecutter.
I like toecutter
argetlam350 maybe toecutter didnt really die...
argetlam350 It would've been a nice touch if Immortan Joe and Toecutter were one in the same, it would add sort a revenge factor with the main villain and would also explain why he needs assistance to breathe after getting pasted by an 18 wheeler in the original.
Murcia doxial I thought he exploded into body parts when he ran into the semi?
9_Bucks That wasn't Toecutter; Toecutter was from the first movie. The guy who ran into the semi was the Great Humongous.
Imagine if George Miller directed a Fallout movie.
You just broke my universe
Bradley J. Timm we dont need a Fallout movie. This is our Fallout movie, only with 10 times more adrenaline, realism, and special bond of vehicular combat.
It's really more of a "Borderlands" or "Rage" movie than it is a "Fallout" movie.
Branden Lucero Fallout has more story, and rage/borderlands is more bat shit crazy.
The_Creed I didn't say it needed to be exactly like Mad Max, I'm saying with a big enough budget and good enough script Miller would make an excellent Fallout movie.
The first thing you'll notice about Fury Road is the art direction and costume design. Maybe some of the best I've ever seen. The world created by George Miller is visually stunning. It's essentially everything he wanted to create in Road Warrior but didn't have the capability to at that time. The vehicles are inventively designed and everything has that WOW factor. All of the characters look fantastic and each one appears as though there's some kind of story behind them.
Fantastic movie.
AbelLSU jr I freaking LOVE the design of the head bad guy (Immortan Joe).
Please understand. Immortan Joe
***** Fixed it. Guess I've got wax in my ears. Thanks!
Please understand. :D
AbelLSU jr The world creatied by Miller?u mean recording a real desert?
It was fkn awesome. Reminded me of Borderlands. And that guitar guy, BEST CHARACTER EVER
***** There wouldn't have been a borderlands in the same style if the 2nd movie was never made.
*****
WHen I first saw the trailer I was like "BORDERLANDS THE MOVIE!!!" I couldnt help it lol
***** Borderlands reminds me of Mad Max.
***** Exactly!!!
***** Games like Borderlands and Fallout got alot of inspiration from the original Mad Max trilogy with Mel Gibson. There's actually a character in either Borderlands 1 or 2 called "Mad Mel" which is tribute to Mel Gibson portraying Mad Max.
An action masterpiece. George Miller is one of the greatest directors ever.
Why do you hate CGI?
+Lucas Palhuca Jurassic World is a action Masterpiece. Mad Max is utter crap!
+WinMore No the original mad max has no cgi like you said but cgi existed in 1979 star wars had cgi and it was released in 1977
+Zero11s LOL you don't know anything about movies kid
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no
Just saw it for the 2nd time this weekend. Best movie I've seen in like 10 years. Everything was perfect. Including the feminist themes although I don't think it was purposeful feminism. Just that the female characters were very capable as they are in real life. I'm always a fan of horrible men getting destroyed by women.
Nathan Barnatt It was actually pretty awesome seeing such an amazing action film have so many strong female characters.
Nathan Barnatt Modern Feminism is full of rabid morons. But I can agree that HORRIBLE/CRUEL men getting the piss beat out of em by women is cool, regular/average good guys getting the piss beat out of em by women isn't.
It was mindblowing !
Nathan Barnatt I don't know your contry guys, but where I live, woman and children suffer from human trafficking and various type of abuses. So, I think that femminism in some way is a good thing.
Nathan Barnatt Meh. If I want to see men get the shit beat out of them by women, I'll watch scheduled television programming.
Isn't the director obscenely old now? How is it he can make a better action movie than anything Hollywood has put out in the last decade or two?
He's 70
SJCookiEzZ Impressive.
9_Bucks Because getting older means gaining wisdom, and that should deserve some respect from preps who call him "obscenely old".
9_Bucks agreed. check out chris stuckman's video about whats wrong with action movies today, it's an excellent look at exactly this problem
9_Bucks and this is what ageism looks like folks.
Immortan Joe VS Angry Joe, who wins???
That's tough to decide
***** Lord Hokage.... I was unaware you take part in arranging conflicts
Max
Other Joe.
***** batman
As a guy who was a big fan of the original movies: This film gets my seal of approval.
What I love about the mad max character is that he isn't the hero of the wasteland or anything like that, he just a guy, he's just person trying to survive in that world. That makes him more relatable.
As I said before, I'll say again. Feminists are claiming this movie in their name. They are claiming victory for the Furiosa character, the scene where the phrase "women are not things" is displayed, and they are the reasons people have lashed out back at the movie for feminist propaganda. Coupled with the fact that too many industries are allowing themselves to be dictated to by identity politics and ideologies, people are jaded and thinking that every strong female character, or change of an iconic character, has an agenda's backing behind it and not legitimate artistic vision. PowerGirl was changed to look identical to Bumblebee from Teen Titans. Why? Because "progress." Joker variant cover was pulled after feminist backlash. Why? Because progress. All of this adds up and people are getting tired of so-called "progress" taking what's already established and changing it, or claiming victory for things they had no part in, rather than actually doing something creative on their own and being the change they claim is necessary.
NorthernDragon There's a simple truth. Feminists control the media. And there's always a few idiots who believe everything they read off of the internet. You want to rake in the simple minded plebs? Pander to feminists. It's another case of 'follow the money'.
***** Yeah, well I've seen Hollywood fighting back against feminism, funnily enough in the form of many actresses who refuse to be called feminists and never really apologize for that even after the backlash.
NorthernDragon I remember that chick. I wonder if she's still being harassed because of it? Probably, I'd say.
***** Probably.
Well the funny thing is that there are scenes where the girls (including Furiosa) are stuck in the truck's cabinet while Max and his War Boy buddy (I forgot his name) are fighting to protect them. Also there is a scene where Max goes by himself to defeat a full APC in the midst of the night , under the astonished gaze of Furiosa who advised him to not go in there...
movie was practically a 2 hour action packed car chase, and it was awesome
Why do people think this is feminist propaganda?... well, there's this thing called subtext. The protagonists are a group of woman, leaving the protagonist of the old movies (who is the franchises very name sake) to take a secondary role. The back story is the world was fucked up by men being men and all the antagonists are all 2 dimensional examples of overly 'macho' men, riding round on their overly tricked out cars to be killed indiscriminately by a group of 'righteous' woman who set out to free themselves from the oppression of their patriarchal masters...
darkblood626 good comment but these hipsters would never understand it.
***** Precisely.
darkblood626 -points to Thunderdome's villain-
Maybe because it says on IMDB that they hired a feminist writer to help improve the female characters in the script. This is kinda weird but the movie was awesome so who cares.
darkblood626 Couldn't of put it better myself. Once I heard the feminist suggestion and then watched the movie, I kind of see where they are getting at. That being said though, Max is still one of the good guys, and even the one War Boy turns out to have a heart so it wasn't like the movie painted every male negatively. Beyond that, it just seems like natural evolution of the world, that men would start in charge and then the women would fight back. It's a basic oppressed people uprising story, more so anti-male I think.
max max?
Krucek rog Max Max to the Max, Max.
Max Payne
Krucek rog Max Max 2 Max Max harder
Krucek rog LOL What the Flick did a review on Friday and made the same fucking mistake :)
Krucek rog Mazimum Max
one of my favorite things was the guy with the guitar on the truck. It was fuckin awesome hearing the music and then you see him standing there going crazy and spraying fire. Glad they mentioned it.
God dammit none of this has to do with real world feminism. Feminism is for women to be equal to men. In fiction the lore of the world matters. So the fact that women are property in mad max doesn't mean it is anti feminist in the real world. It's just how that fictional world is.
The truth is that the film maker and the marketing department are totally different entities.
Will guys see this movie? No doubt, the name alone is enough to get asses in seats.
Will women see this movie? That takes work. Through the magic of editing a trailer comes of very different than the film. Suddenly, you have a viable candidate for a date night.
Also Furiosa is a strong female character, so Feminists should actually really like this movie because it shows how strong women and men are.It also isn't force fed feminism like in Ghostbusters.
Hugo Strange well, that's thanks to to having a Director that respects the source material. SOmeone who is thinking about a character and not sending a message.
Furiosa was equal, because she could act on her own, but being human, still needed help occasionally. The film never draws attention to her gender, but gives her strength through world building. Women in this world are slaves, but by not directly telling us how she transcended this and allowing us to fill it in ourselves, we create a bigger badass.
GB and Feig tried too hard reinforce that their strength is because men are weak or incompetent. They emulate male behavior to make them equal to men. Queef jokes and crotch shots. If it was made with 4 guys, (even original cast) it would be stupid and offensive. Having four women doesn't get it a pass
Menuki
Aggree completely. Ghostbusters is basically full of reverse sexism. So.. sexism.
Huh, I thought there were plenty of feminists that have praised the movie.
2015 is shaping up to be one of the best movie years in a very long time. The year could even end with a bang with a new Star Wars movie.
john o lets hope
It can't top last year
john o Yep, Age of Ultron, Mad Max, Ant-Man, Furious 7, Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys, Ted 2, Star Wars...it's shaping up to be amazing.
Terminator genisys isn't going to be a good film
Gabe Hall You never know, it might be. Also, reply buttons are cool.
10/10. Best film so far this year
I miss game reviews.
These 3 men proves that having a beard doesn't make you look better.
I loved the guitar guy playing rifts as they pursued. Also the drummer truck was awesome. Awesome action movie and they hit it out of the park!
Wow, there are people in the comments who never heard of Mad Max
this world is dead
Sir Top Hat III No they are just young.
+Sir Top Hat III Those movies are older, you need to understand that.
The spray paint in the mouth thing is an Australian reference to paint sniffing to get high; in the _Fury Road's_ universe the warboys are literally jacking themselves up on the paint fumes before they commit themselves to Walhalla.
Dude, if you're gonna invite your pals, give them the floor. You dominate the discussion WAY to much. Just review it yourself.
Yeah when they want to discuss a topic or a point he just cuts them off and he tells it
Ed Reid "The Angry Joe Show"
I think that answers that. Seems like it's his show and his friends are there for outside input and opinions, so that we're not just hearing Joe rant on about his own opinions. And it's Joe that people subscribe to and want to listen to, so I don't really understand your gripe.
+Devoniam1 and get rid of that other guy too. I forgot that Other Joe weren't in this vídeo. LMAO.
That shows how relevant they are in these vídeos.
Batman com Preparo Idk i don't think he should just get rid of them. They're his friends and i think he's going for more of a podcast feel with this series, having his friends there too relieves the monotony of listening to one person rant on about their own opinions for 40 minutes (he already has enough of those videos).
WITNESS ME!!
MEDIOCRE
John Berry Conway III I shall personally escort you to the gates of Valhalla
As some guy somewhere said:
"Mad Max is 2 hours of Heavy Metal Covers"
Max Max huh?
***** Max Max to the Max, Max.
Yes.
Mad Max was a beast of a fucking movie. I saw it on AMC prime with these comfortable reclining chairs that vibrate with the movies sound effects. Worth every penny and will watch again. 10/10!!!
Dude me to I watched it in amc prime and everything was vibrating it was a great great movie
Absolutely!
AgentCell Damn Im so jelly. Im an avid movie goer. The best experience I have had was at the IMAX, which is badass in its own right. But, I really want to experience the AMC Prime theater
I'm assuming that there isn't one where you live right? If that's the case, you should definitely one day plan it for a special movie for example Star Wars Episode 7 or Batman vs Superman or X-Men Apocalypse. You can gather your buddies together and plan to head to an AMC Prime theater near you and stay at a hotel, go out for a drink, club, arcades, whatever afterwards. You can make it more than just a movie night. I'm definitely doing this for Star Wars.
AgentCell
Yep. I live in Washington. Hopefully they bulid one in Seattle
I already know this Mad Max movie is going to be a classic, it's shunned by your average movie goer (where most box office money sadly comes from), but like the previous Mad Max movies, it will be remembered by true movie lovers for years.
Is Max Max the sequel coming in some years?
Hans Gruber They spent a lot of money in this movie. Maybe this may take a little longer... but it's always possible.
Hans Gruber Tom Hardy signed up for 3 movies but it all depends on how it does at the box office
***** it's already got 109 million out of a 150 million budget.So I think it's definitely getting a sequel.
connor mccartney I have faith in george miller in these kind of movies.I hope the sequels expand this awesome universe in a great way
Hans Gruber Depends on how it does at the box office. If people dont support art like this, we will continue to get "paint-by-the-numbers" cookie-cutter shallow action films that appeal only to the lowest common denomination.
I, for one have told all my friends to support this movie and not to bootleg it.
To me the only bad thing about this movie is that Max doesn't do much, he doesn't even feel like the protagonist. Maybe it was intentional, I mean he's a survivor, and maybe the idea is that he just goes around trying to survive, meet all these characters and then moves on, so the protagonist is aupposed to be the world itself more than Max, and the original ones were kinda like that, but he almost doesn't do anything in this movie.
KombatGod If you think about it, though, he wasn't the guy who did everything even in Road Warrior. The movie was more about the villagers than it was him - it's just that he was their vehicle to fight back against Humongous.
That how he is . Have u ever watch road warrior before man. The reason why he is so quiet is because he lost everything that he care about. So he has nothing to loose
I know that, guys, I also said so myself, but in this one it seems to me that he didn't even do anything. The movie could have worked perfectly without even having him, he basically doesn't have a role, except being a blood bag (even when he saves her at the end).
KombatGod Wrecking shit at every opportunity, taking out tons of motorcycle guys, and singlehandedly taking out the "scales of justice" guy and his car is not doing anything?
KrossoverGod The thing is mad max isn't a protagonist in the true sense. In the first one he was because that was your backstory. The last three everyone needs to realize aren't in any chronological order. This movie is simply exploring the universe and Max is simply your vessel to take a trip into it.
Avengers
Yes mad max is a better film then the avengers 2
Fire Power Disliking does not make the movie worst. Also, unless the movie is Paul Blart Mall Cop, you can't possibly compare movies that different. What you can say is that you enjoyed more this one as opposed to the other one.
Fire Power definitely.
I want my money back from Avengers because I saw Mad Max twice and I need to see the third time!
Age of ultron> mad max IMO but still a great fucking time though
Great review. You guys did a great job capturing how I felt when watching Fury Road. When Coma the Doof Warrior shows up with his flaming guitar the jaws of everyone in the theater just dropped. The sheer insanity in this movie really puts you in the world of Mad Max. Really hoping we won't have to wait as long for the next one.
When the Mad Max game comes out, I can't wait to see either Joes dress up as Immortan Joe for the review. All the Joes!
Cinematographer John Seale was the real star of this movie!
I haven't seen the movie. Probably won't see the movie. Yet I am watching this vlog.
You must watch this movie, your life depends on it
Nick Rhodes You should really watch the movie, it surprised me a lot that the movie was really good
Nick Rhodes It's an amazing movie. I garantee you wont regret it.
Go watch it :b
You'll regret it if u don't!!
_Fury Road_ has *fantastic* action sequences, but..barely any story or characterisation. (I'd make a joke about how it has less characterisation than a certain hated trilogy, but..maybe not)
Go watch it, even if you (like me) haven't seen previous _Mad Max_ movies. It's that good, just don't expect a "masterpiece" cos it has the same problems most action movies have (tons of action, almost zero story).
It is a masterpiece, a action masterpiece....there is a lot of story, just not explained ;)
Andi X Personally, action only feels meaningful or memorable when you actually _care_ about the characters. Put 10 random guys in a room, fighting each other, and after 10 minutes it gets boring, no matter how good the action may be.
This movie didn't give me a chance to breathe let alone get to know & care for its characters. By the end, I couldn't care less who died.
Paradox Acres The story is subtle and IS maxs story, he however doesn't have character development because he doesn't need it, he is a broken man getting caught up in crazy situations that he is trying to survive.
no offence but i cant help but feel wasn't meant for you if you didn't like it, having not seen the originals and wanting more than just an action spectacle. I personally after watching the originals and seeing the trailers was surprised by how much story there was and loved how subtly it was put across.
All i wanted was an action spectacle and i got so much more!
Yeah a lot of people seem to give it a pass about the almost non existent character development
Well it's an action so story doesn't really matter
One of the best movies I've ever watched in my life.
+Villainy How old are you ? Lol
Saw it last night and all I can say is WOW. Well played, Australia, well played...
What is the video playing in the background, with the cast and crew talking?
Personally this movie will go down as one of my all-time favorites maybe even my favorite. I had so much fun and was entertained and curious non stop.
I have to say my dad took me to this yesterday and I will admit I was skeptical that this was going to be as good as advertised but it was. It definitely deserves the praise it has gotten. One if not the best action film I have seen in a long long time.
Bad thing about an open world mad max is 90% of that world is dirt.
It's an awesome game
Great review/vlog of the movie Joe. Your in depth approach to these and your games is very appreciated. Keep them coming man. Your on the top out there. Just discovered your channel about month ago. But your style kicks Ass. And having other Joe is perfect match.
Well done keto the material coming.
Good to hear practical effects are back on the table. Hopefully it does well and maybe pushes that sort of movie making to be bit more popular again. Also Max was never really too much on the spotlight (only in first one), he was usually a tool that the story was told through and it focused on many other people and their lives when Max happened to be around.
Da reezon da puny white Boyz didn't krump Max good was 'cuz dey wazn't green! Ya can't call yerself Warboyz wiffout bein' da Orkiest ya can be!
WAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!

MisterFeanor HaHAhaHA!!! Puny humie finks he can kill Warboss Rotgutz? Ah'll kick your sorry arse into da Warp 'for ya even get wifin ten feetsez of me!
Pros: Fucking crazy action. Amazing for what it was meant to be, an action thrill ride. A very strong secondary character and good enemies. The enemies are silly, but quite intimidating. The mix of silliness and seriousness reminds me of Borderlands and Fallout.
Cons: Mad Max seemed quite weak as a character and he did not get enough focus. Mad Max felt like a secondary character. The plot was weak. The reasons for doing what they do is not well thought out (and the mission ends up being for nothing). The plot doesn't get good until the end, and it feels like the end should have been the middle of the movie. The conclusion is not even that satisfying anyway.
6/10 for me. The only satisfying part is the action, but everything else falls short.
Exactly
Agreed.
Fantastic action.
Weak story.
Tru. Charlize Theron stole the show!
Jason King Mad Max was supposed to be the secondary character, since he was not the main character as the title suggests. Furiosa was actually the man character here. This was done so there would be a second Mad Max modern movie.
He has emotional connection in the first movies and he's gone mad hence the name mad max where in the others he lost his family and dose not have and more emotional connection anymore if you watched it he has flashbacks and listens to his flashbacks to save his life 2 times. Along with when one of the girls dies he has a flashback to when immortal joe killed his wife
I loved how when they look at the horizon, and see the War Boys coming, you can the War drums and guitar in the distance of impending Metal Doom!
can hear I meant.
Fun facts for the Farscape fans out there.
Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) is Grunchlk in Farscape.
Keeper of the Seeds (Melissa Jaffer) is Utu-Noranti Pralatong in Farscape.
The Bullet Farmer (Richard Carter) is also in an episode of Farscape ("Promises" as Ullom)
Related:
The Warrior Woman in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (Virginia Hey) is Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan in Farscape.
You need a nap after watching this movie. You just get so hype through the whole thing, you just go home and pass out lol.
startin to think joe was the only cool kid in his clique of friends
I was worried about this movie because of the production issues and because I loved the old movies so much but you got me hyped. I need to see this!
Five years later this may be the greatest action movie of all time
Why is Joe hanging out with hipsters?
I found a theory about the main character in this movie is that if you have watched the old movie of Mad Max, you would know the Feral Kid. The feral kid walked up to Max and max gave the feral kid the music box, so in this new movie-Mad Max: Fury Road, the main character-Max has the music box in his possession and there is the scene that when Furiosa meet Max and ask his name but it ended up in Max growling, grunting and walked to the water pump. So seeing that has increased the chance of the main character in this present movie-Mad Max: Fury Road is the Feral Kid in the old Mad Max who looks up to Max so later on, he called himself Max. It's not 100% correct but to me, it seems to be correct with all the evidence so, I wonder for others, does this info makes sense to you that you agreed with me or not?
+PowerDragon999 Pretty cool man, I like it
+PowerDragon999 its a cool theory but it doesnt hold up if you think about the visions max was seeing throughout fury road. The visions were without a doubt calling him max
The bass player with the fiery bass was the ghost of Paul Gray and no one can tell me otherwise. I loved this movie, it even inspired me to write even more. I would love to cosplay Furiosa also, I'll see what to do with the arm later x)
Hey guys are there spoilers In this? I know it isn't the spoiler video but in the Avengers non spoiler video there were spoilers, and I really don't want anything spoiled for me about this film! PLEASE REPLY :)
There are minor spoilers.
But _Mad Max_ is pure action, weak story..so, I don't know if you're fine with that. Maybe just watch the "Final Verdict" at the end where they score the movie?
My only complaint about this movie is that the Intercepter got destroyed. Freakin' BS
You know what? That's the most legit complaint I've heard about the movie. I feel you on that.
Vinny Raptor Thank you. I'm a fan of the original movies, and love that glorious car.
Grant H That car is a beast.
Vinny Raptor It's a black beast!
Hell yeah!
I LIVE! I DIE! I LIVE AGAIN!!!
What movie theater do they do their reviews at anyway? :o
The silver spray paint is used for huffing. The Warboys had no idea they were simply getting a jump from the spray paint. As far as they knew it was a magical elixir which gave them super powers.
We saw it in cinema and my wife really loved the movie.
Zarkow i love mad max
So glad these 2 clowns are gone. Especially Del.
So +angryjoe do you think you're gonna get Mad Max the game? And do you think the game would be good?
Came to see Joe’s review & damn how things have changed!!! Shoutout to the Angry Army
I've watched this four times
Borderlands: The Movie
I just saw it for the second time. This cemented it as my favorite film of the year so far, and quite possibly my favorite action film ever. The cinematography is gorgeous, the acting is fantastic, and the pacing is perfect. The polecat scenes were fucking awesome, and every other scene in the movie. I was smiling throughout the whole film, and I will probably be seeing it again soon.
I would recommend the game "Convoy", because there are menu references to Mad Max, FTL, and a post apocalyptic environment with some nice mechanics. The most close that we can get to a modern "Car War" game.
By the way the creators of the cars in this movie is Colin Gibson.
Yeaaa, Fallout The Movie? Nooo Twisted Metal.
Also, Mad Max has become more mad, and all that shit he went through in the beginning kinda knocked a few screws loose, took almost rest of the movie to get those screws back in. XD
You all didn't even mention Nux? From warboy to noble warrior dying for a cause? Epic redemption right there.
And I'll be a little narky- I hate it when you get the names wrong, repeatedly......
Nux was a great character. Reminded me of mute Mr. Scratch from the Thunderdome film. Which makes me wonder if Scratch was a fugitive from the citadel since he wore the same kind of body paint & clothing.
Oops, that character's name was Scrooloose not Scratch. Check it out, he looked exactly like the war boys from Fury Road.
I'd been debating whether or not this was worth seeing or not, mainly because what I'd heard was making it sound something like a revamp of the second movie. Nice to hear that it's more in-depth than what I was expecting.
I'm a little disappointed you weren't impressed with the tiny details of Immortan Joe and the Warboys. How Nux talked about the lymphomic cells slowly killing him through throat cancer which is why Max was his "blood bag". Cause he believed Max's blood would purify his own. Its just small details like this that made this movie so great.
I didn't really feel like anything really got accomplished in this movie. I haven't seen the other movies, but with it's 98% on Rotten Tomatoes I'm assuming that it would be great if I did; it _definitely_ does not hold up on its own though. The beginning was fantastic, but then the movie just kinda forgets about Max and focuses on these girls that I literally cared nothing for, when I did care for Max. It doesn't elaborate on his mental issues or anything, or develop his character, he's literally a side character _begging_ for development.
I just ended up shrugging when the credits happened because nothing really happened. I didn't feel like there was any character development, any feeling of growth or accomplishment, anything. It was amazingly made though, and the beginning was fantastic, but other than that I felt like how I did after watching Taken 2.
I literally cried at one scene. That scene. The...ermmm...SPOILERS
Where Nux? Nix? Sacrifices.
Paraguai123 As opposed to figuratively cried, I guess.
Lotus Prince Youc an figuratively cry, like in QQ, or "C'MOOOOOOOOON"
Witness me...
You cried over someone whose name you dont even know?
Paraguai123 I so feel you, brother... It's a shame the movie mde me crack up with that guitare close-up, though. I'd have liked to bath a bit more in my emotion.
Hey, do you even do reviews anymore? The last one you did that I remember was back in February.
For those who've seen the film, the fight scene between Max, Furiosa, the wives, and Nux was incredibly choreographed.
Wtf is this comments section. I thought we were gonna talk about Mad Max, not arguments about feminism.
Tell me about it....
Oscar M Any time "Woman" or "feminist" is mention you can be sure the "Fuck the feminist!/Death to the feminist!" will come out to play.
Oscar M Im right there with ya Oscar. smh. In about 30 years it will be appreciated as art but by that time George Miller will be gone
its FuriOHsa not FurioSAHHHH
when I was 9 years old my mom took me and a bunch of my neighborhood friends to see road warrior and I have loved the movie all my life.
I just started watching the movie today and one thing struck me as odd: = We know the movie is in Australia land of the metric system, Charlie theron yells out that we have your 3000 GALLONS of Gas-0e-Leen. Then later she turns to mad max and says this battle wagon has 2000 HORSEPOWER. These are only phrases used in my America , because we use this Superior measurings system. She should have said we have 4 million liters of gas, or PETROL, whatever that means and like the band Sabaton, which is german and singing about the German War in World War 1, the hit song is "What is the Price of a MILE???? Should have been what if the price of a kilometer. Just odd things I noticed,
I DID IT UNDER 300 MOM GET THE CAMERA
Not hating, I love AJ but damn he needs to start doing his homework before shooting reviews lol
I haven't seen it yet so please don't spoil it, but does this one connect at all to road warrior and thunderdome?
Grant Manor sort off, in theory no but there are some tie ins. George said the movies have no chronological order in his mind.
Also go see it if you loved the originals, especially if you loved them for the action.
Schmitski2033 so basically same universe different story, and yes I am going to see it
Grant Manor Don't hold me to this, but my understanding is that it take place between the two movies technically.. that said, I never saw the originals and I thought it was good.
k
Grant Manor pretty sure this movie is impossible to spoil, the story is limited to your immagination really. Doesn't seem like it's connected to the first two and I've not seen thunderdome although the actor that plays toecutter is immortan joe, not sure what the implications are there if any.
is this a prequel, sequel or reboot?
Manuel Calavera It seems to be a sequel, though not a direct one. Each Mad Max movie seems to be a self-contained story.
Manuel Calavera Like Lotus said, it's a sequel. Though you don't need to watch the other movies to enjoy it (in case you haven't). You probably will just not understand Max's character, though, since all his character development happened in the previous movies.
People will always find reasons to be outraged about absolutely everything. It's part of internet culture, and also Western culture in general these days thanks to the media.

Damn, I was rooting for it to be a Mad Max film, about Max. Dont care about Furiosa. I can see how some people can be disappointed.
But she is just as badass as max. She ain't a Shia labor in transformers
LastSider Out the 4 movies in the series I think only the first one is actually about Max in the others he is like the introduction to the world and one of the various characters you follow through the movie
Alex Mansfield But shes not Max. Thats the character I wanted to see be played out.
He hasn't really been the main main character since the first one
Alex Mansfield I though that was going to happen in this one. A reason Im not happy about it.
Cast Mel Gibson & Bruce Spence as two of the major villains in a sequel. That would be a total mindfuck of massive proportions.
I absolutely dont get people calling this a "feminist action film".
I imagine hardcore feminists would absolutely hate this movie. From Theron easily being dubbed as a "Ms. Male" to all the sexualization of the females. I really feel this is simply a good movie with well written female leads. Sad to think that a movie has to be "feminist" to have strong female characters.
I had to stop the movie after about an hour because I was so bored with it. It is the same scene all the time. The same fucking road with the same dudes trying to stop a truck for 2 hours. Sure the colors, visuals, costumes, cars, camera angle, pace, craziness etc. are great but the movie feels empty to me. It's like watching the trailer for 2 hours, I don't understand all the fuss about the movie.
Feminism is not misandry.
Anyone who thinks men and women should have the same rights and be respected equally is a feminist.
So I would hope you're all feminists otherwise I guess you think one gender is superior to the other.
This movie's themes promote the ideas that women and men should be on equal footing.
Sam Levin If you are saying that men and women are not equal in every way then you should have a serious think to yourself. Equality is progression of humanity, keep thinking like this and the rest of us will leave you behind.
Sam Levin
There a difference between believing in human rights and women rights. I think that women are different from men but they are still human beings and that's why I believe in human rights, not women rights. Feminism is NOT the same as human rights! I know that because I used to believe in feminism, and boy... I felt like a TOTAL idiot! >.
I liked the movie a lot. Maybe favorite film this year.
From what I can see in history women are often considered inferior to men, so it makes sense for the feminist movement to be about elevating women to the same level as men.
Thank you, finally someone I can agree with
I don't really agree with some of what you said, but as long as you want to examine what causes inequality between people and then try to fix those problems then that's good.
I gave myself a headache with all the nodding I did watching this review, you guys hit it spot on. Still, the tapering off at the end of the film really hurt it, and I'd give it a 7.5 to 8 out of 10.
I personally think there is a climax when they reach the "green place" the only thing is, you don't know they've reached it (it is night time & looks like a muddy swamp). My personal favorite part of the movie happens during the that scene. Max walks towards the gunfire & approaching car, out of sight. Then a MASSIVE explosion takes place again out of sight behind some clouds or dust followed by the most BADASS explosion walkaway as out of the dust cloud comes max (covered in others blood).
This part of the movie was the single most badass piece of cinema I've seen in my entire life and served as a wonderful climax about 2/3 - 3/4 of the way in.
I am I seriously the only one who hated this mad max movie!?!
Don't worry, i hated it too.
I'm really trying not to scream "YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT THIS MOVIE IS FANTASTIC!!!!" but i have to respect different opinions so ok good for you.
me too
DeAth GaMing same
2hr car chase..
Road warrior was perfect...this was not...Short on story, long on great action. Held my interest but aside from some innovative vehicles it was just a lesser rehash of the great films that came before it.
"You can't have Mad Max without the cars.."
Unfortunately we have Beyond Thunderdome
It's funny that Americans assume that a nuke must have gone off, that's just normal Australia.
