Not to mention it was predictable as hell that it was gone.

Lol...You didn't see any of the previous Mad Max's? Pretty stupid imo just going in to a movie blind. If you had watched them you would know that they all don't really have much story.

These movies are about action. Not every movie needs story. Quit being pussies. We're men! Action is great!

Anyone else in that club and still like this movie?
I'm in the same club and super pumped about seeing this. And I get pumped about a new movie once every few years. All the car scenes are real - no CGI. Charlize Theron kicks ass. Everyone seems to like it except men's rights advocates, who are among the worst people on earth.

Like I said, worst human beings on earth:
1. People who put their kids in child beauty pageants
2. Mens right's advocates
3. "Prosperity Gospel" preachers
4. neocons
5. whoever invented automated voice phone support

Charlize Theron was great as was Tom Hardy and all the female empowerment was good as far as it was relevant in a 2 hour car chase. I could not wait for it to end. But, I have a really low tolerance for action action action car chases. It seems like there were like 30 words in this whole movie that weren't just like "duck" "go do that".

If I want to watch car stunts I'd much rather watch this and be done in 5 minutes - well, it's still boring and I have to skip through most of it.



at least there wasn't an idiotic guy with a guitar shooting flames. Hard to believe people are actually liking that.

80% of that was live action? Godamn.

Saw it at our VIP theatre in 3d, which allows booze and you sit in a lazy-boy. Easily the best movie experience of my life outside of maybe the first time I saw Pulp Fiction.

This movie was better than Aliens, Saving Private Ryan, Terminator 2, and the Matrix. Till then those were basically some of the coolest movies I had seen on the big screen for their eras. Still blown away.

I'm a little butthurt that they're making 3 more. This movie should be untouched and live on as a top 20 movie ever. Oh well, studios gonna profit.

Wow, big call! I'm a massive fan of Terminator 2. People complained that it didn't have much story but they're just pussies.

I can't wait to see this movie now. BTW People it's called "Action" for a reason!!!

Sadly you have to be discredited just from the first post you made in here. I don't need to explain why to the others.

3D or 2D?

I generally don't like 3D too much but some of this looks like it would be legit on 3D

I despise 3D. I saw this in 3D because that's the only format the theater was showing. I now despise 3D even more.

Stupid, distracting gimmicks are stupid and distracting for any movie. #2D4Lyfe.

Was that crazy guitar playing goon used for bad guy morale purposes?

*sigh*

Going back to the first movies, the point Miller has always tried to make is that after the nuclear holocaust, the world basically goes 100% nuts. It's full on Lord of the Flies type ****, and it's mostly run by the strongest (aka mostly men). So his vision was basically like some cross between bikers meets metal heads meets junkies meets hoarders meets who knows what else. Some of it for sure takes roots in some of the ancient war traditions, hence the big war drums. He just thought it would be cool to imagine these guys pumping themselves up with that guy playing guitar. You gotta imagine that these guys are half delirious from starvation/thirst, and probably wasted on who knows what. But when you look at the big real world biker shootout that just happened in Waco, I think Miller's vision is actually pretty bang on.

Let's just put it this way:

A dude playing guitar to pump up 500 blood thirsty post apocalyptic nuts is no weirder than:

1) the Force
2) a robot sent back into the past to kill 1 man to change the future
3) a dude who lives inside a computer program

Once you allow your imagination to accept that the world basically ended, these tiny details shouldn't be the thing holding anyone up (FuRake I'm looking at you).

i loved this movie.

Somehow Miller made the whole criminal crew make sense, they were not utterly evil, they just was born into that life and molded by it, <nah no more bane> but it still remains true.

The guitarguys lifequest was to play that guitar in battle, make sure everyones up and up adrealine wise, it is a great honor. The mash up o different "cool stuff&places and whatnot" for Immortal Joes religion was a nice touch aswell, "valhalla" and so on.

Tom Hardy really plays a nutcase well, he really seemed awkward and wierd the whole movie, how he moved his neck around, shot his eyes and was really freaky

It's a callback to military war drums and such. It gets them amped, keeps them in order, etc. Armies have employed various brass instruments and drums to do the same. They probably had certain musical cues for orders as well. The guitar dude was always close to Imortan Joe.

I liked the movie but don't think I'd rate it as high as the 2 glowing reviews I'd read. The critics LOVED the no CGI aspect and watching real vehicles and their stuntmen crashing and taking their lives into their hands plus the non stop action was fun but, really, there's no story. It's a must see if you're into action and it should be seen on a big screen but I realized after that I might've made a better choice seeing Pitch Perfect 2.
