None for me. Thank you. http://feministmadmax.tumblr.com/ People who got all feminist-y about this are fucking delusional. Max does his fair share of ass-kicking. It's good old American (Australian?) ass-kicking. Good guys win, bad guys lose, save the damsels, Glocks survived and 1911's didn't. Done. |

Watched it the other night with a couple friends. It was a non-stop thrill ride/car chase from beginning to end. The story was a little lacking but the effects and action were great. We all liked it.

I believe its supposed to be set in between Mad Max and Mad Max 2. I thought the movie did a great job at showing the transformation of Mad Max who had lost everything, seen everything turn mad, and in order to survive distrust everyone into a hybrid of cop Max and Mad Max.
I also felt that the movie showed how bleak, lonely, crazy, and hopeless a distopian world can be. Everyone was either carved up, dirty and deformed, or crazy and bloodthirsty, but then you have 4 beautiful, clean, and wearing white clothing females to help you contrast what once was and what now is. I don't know how anyone can consider the movie crap, I know some people here hated it because they are pretty obviously sexist (in true gd fasion), OMG a strong female lead in a Mad Max movie! it must suck then because only men can be warrior like in a distopian movie! |

I think Mad Max films are stand alone. Kinda like the older James Bond movies where each one that came out was not a sequel of the last one. The pilot is in the 2nd and 3rd film but plays two completely different people. Also, Max's family is murdered in the 1st movie, but in Fury Road, he gets flashbacks of many different kids and people who cried for help, from his past. Understand that the Mad Max movies is being told from the perception of a story teller FAR off in the future after the apocalypse. And Mad Max is kind of like a mythological/greek hero kinda story being told to us. |

Saw the movie again last night. This time alone and in 3D. Still enjoyed the hell out of it... though I must say that once you've seen it once, the action doesn't seem as draining the second time.
At any rate, a very good and fun action flick for all but the most stick-filled of sphincters. 
P.S. I'm always very sensitive to the PC-bullshit messages in movies but unless you're intent upon hating the movie and looking for reasons to do so... this movie was far more about intense action than sending any deep messages and promoting agendas. As far as Max being a feminine pussy in this one... give me a freakin' break. |

And Mad Max is kind of like a mythological/greek hero kinda story being told to us. The first three films had more cohesion between them and did have a linear progression. But Fury Road is like a big mixing bowl into which they put a lot of the ideas, props, characters and little details from the first three movies and blended them into a new, unique concoction. Or to use the analogy I used in another thread, Fury Road is the "Greatest Hits" album of the Mad Max rock band... it contains all the hits but none of the B sides or connective songs that made up the previous albums, which results in a rocking loud display but very little depth. I actually starting making a mental list of all the references and concepts that Fury Road borrows from the previous Max films... it was getting so long that I would need to write them all down to keep track of them. |

I definitely didn't get the feminist vibe AT ALL. It's about as anti-fem as you can get. Women as property/livestock/bait, and you're not watching some 104 pound gymnast kick 87 different 250 pound body builders assess, the fights are well choreographed and semi-believable, and action intense. Fun flick, will watch again.

I saw the Fury Road movie.
It was awesome also It was feminist dog shit The movie was a epic spectacle, classic vintage over-the-top George Miller mad max awesomeness. The men were evil and ugly and insane, the women were invincible and noble and beautiful. Mad Max was a secondary character in the movie, he was the typical feminist version of a good man, physically strong but stupid, like a big useful guard dog. |

I'll be honest and cut up my man card, but I haven't see any of the other films.
Still, this cut of shots from the other Mad Max films show how much of Miller's awesomess bled through in the new film. https://vimeo.com/128820740 |

Kinda like Social Justice Warriors. Enjoy the car movie the the vroom vroom and the crash crash. It's a Mad Max movie, for fuck's sake. Enjoy it, and just be shiny and chrome. Some people will complain about free ice cream because it's not chocolate. Best, JBR |

Finally just saw it. Amazing.
Textbook example of how to make the perfect action movie. And for those hand wringing about any liberal notions in it...WTF? If there was any message to the movie, it was this...you can't simply leave a world you ruined in the hopes of moving to some utopia on the horizon. If you try, you'll find failure waiting for you. No, if you ruin this world and want something better, you have to fix what you broke. IMO if there was any grand philosophy conveyed, it was responsibility. You break it, you fix it, no throwing your hands up and leaving destruction in your wake as you move to the next shiny thing. But beyond that, simply a perfect action flick, and bad ass from beginning to end. And thank go, no shaky cam. |

Women will disagree that Tom Hardy is ugly. Max stomped Furiosa in a fight even chained to a door and having his blood drained. He drove the rig out of the canyon, something she wouldn't have been able to do on her own. He gathered weapons when they used their ammo when the rig got stuck. Max led them back to water, something they could not figure out without him. Max saved the day with his strategy and brawn. I swear some people would get offended over a fence post. |

My observation about the feminist crap: the women in this movie fucked up everything they tried to do on their own. They only succeeded when a man was in charge. The only things left in the world worth having were those nurtured or built by Immortan Joe.

For those worried about it being a femfest, the end of the movie says it all, the last scene.
They drive the Gigahorse back into the Citadel, with Immortan Joe's body strapped to the hood, who is standing triumphantly over the dead despot? It isn't Furiosa, it isn't Many Mothers or any of the Wives, it was Max, who picked the corpse up and threw it to the masses to be shredded? It was Max. At the end it was Max who had saved the women from the world and themselves, and it was Max who stood shiny and krome at the gates of Valhalla. |

See? Same thing with Fury Road. Glad people could dig it, I dug the cars and world building, but as a movie Road Warrior is a 1000 times better. Ima go out on a limb here and state that the ratio of people, critics, aliens from another galaxies, etc who like Fury Road compared to those who'll admit to liking District 9 isn't even in the same universe.

What he said. Mad Max and Road Warrior fan here. Saw the movie last night in 3D and was quit relieved that it didn't suck. There was no agenda and the guy who made it did a great job. I only go to the theater maybe once every couple of years but wanted to see this on the big screen. We went on a Monday night and there were only 4 other people in the theater. They were adults and were way behind us. It was good. It ended up costing $100 for two adults and two kids with two popcorn and drinks "deals". Fuck that and that's why I don't go to the theater. I really need to upgrade my 60" to a 72". |

I would say the most feminist bit of the movie. And one of very few bits that really drew me out of the story was when Rosie Huntington-Whitley's character did the human shield thing knowing that joe and his minions wouldn't shoot if it meant killing his unborn child. No one is that brave.
At the same time she pays dearly for doing that so at least it was somewhat realistic.

So it looks like Mad Max Fury Road is this years "Man of Steel".

Quote HistoryQuoted: At first, when the guitar-playing mole debuted... I was like "WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS???" (being a 30-year gigging guitar player myself), but after a moment, I rolled with it and kind of enjoyed that crazy freakshow. Helluva a lot more entertaining than most of the guitar players I see live these days anyways! Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Sorry, but that movie sucked. I prefer movies that have some semblance of a plot. A two-hour car chase in vehicles that couldn't possible exist in times like that. Yeah..........no. REALLY??? No kidding. The movie isn't a post-apocalyptic documentary. It's a post-apocalyptic action flick. And ACTION there is. If you went in there expecting to be wow'd with an unassailable plot and real-life events... you were asking for failure. I went in hoping to be entertained. And entertained I was. Seriously... some of you guys should stick to watching 1950s health class films. I was mildly entertained by the guy playing the guitar. That was the highlight of the movie for me. I was expecting some kind of plot. Not anything huge, just something more than a two-hour car chase. At first, when the guitar-playing mole debuted... I was like "WHAT IN THE HELL IS THIS???" (being a 30-year gigging guitar player myself), but after a moment, I rolled with it and kind of enjoyed that crazy freakshow. Helluva a lot more entertaining than most of the guitar players I see live these days anyways! It was definitely an unexpected twist. I guess I'm just not that thrilled with pure action flicks anymore. I must be desensitized. I'm going to see the new Terminator movie and Jurassic World. Hopefully, I'll enjoy those. |

Saw it for the 2nd time with a lady friend of mine. It's still tied with Guardians of the Galaxy for the best movie I've seen at a movie theater.
Fucking LOVE that scene where Max is driving and him and Furiousa and shooting at the same time. Max does some pretty high speed shit with his pistol. |
