From the posters it looks like some parody.
I know its impossible to retain atmosphere of the movies released more then 20 years ago, and I fully expected new movie to be different, but all this screaming faces and brown colors...its just trying too hard to be hardcore or something.

I just hope they don't go overboard with the digital effect. The Original & Road Warrior was so good thanks to All the Amazing Stunt work & Practical Effects.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to watch this just to perve on Charlize Theron with a shaved head. What can I say, I have a weakness for babes with buzzcuts. :P

Here's the Trailer, It looks so Bad Ass. :)

Here's a couple of GIFs from the Trailer. Found them on NeoGaf

Check out the Full Trailer

This movie looks insane, I love it. I'll definitely be there opening night.

Check out this 16 minute behind the scenes footage from the movie.

I can't wait for this friggen movie! I have a friend who is big into the Mad Max fandom and he got to see it already. He says its phenomenal. :D

Been a fan of the series for 30 years since i saw the first 2 on video and part 3 in theaters at age 4.

Here are some reasons:

The first 2 were r-rated adult oriented gritty sci-fi action picks with style and class, part 3 was a PG-13 family film, fun with nice performance by Tina Turner if a bit watered down compared to the first 2 even it's not as bad as AVP or Robocop 3 or mediocre as Terminator Salvation.

I'm glad George Miller is back as director and they got a nice writer for this, although Mel will be missed but Hardy should be a nice replacement. I'm also glad it's back to the R-rated formula as we already had one PG-13 MM movie and that was 30 years ago as it was enough, i mean nice to see them go back to the adult oriented gritty formula of the first 2 classics. I mean we had R-rated hits recently like Kingsman, Equalizer and American Sniper proving there is an audience for these kinds of action films. Hell even Predators proved when it went back to the R-rated formula after the dismal AVP showed there can be love for an adult orienited r-rated series.

Plus some old school practical effects with new stuff mixed in and all that.

New video about the Cars in Fury Road.

got excited when the first trailer dropped... my friends are also interested... I know this movie is going to be supremely ill...

can't wait...

Totally excited about this movie! Love the first two and I'm going to see "Fury Road" tomorrow night! Going to rematch the first two tonight.

I saw an early showing tonight. Its pretty great. A lot of fun, and both Hardy and Theron are great.

The entire film is pretty aesthetically pleasing, bright and vibrant, though it is all desert. Easily one of my favorite movies this year.

Saw it tonight, IMAX 3D. The first 45 mins is amaaazing, just really on fire like nothing else I've seen in years. Then it hits a wall and doesn't pick up again til the finale. Still, it's a definite achievement. If you're gonna see it, make sure it's on the biggest screen available to you.

Does this movie have any direct continuity with the original Mad Max trilogy? Or is this a whole new reboot?

Its incredibly vague about that. You can see it as a standalone piece, or assume its connected.

Even the 1st movie feels super disconnected from the 2nd. So I wouldn't mind appreciating it as a whole new take on the world.

I'm so glad its getting really great reviews. Will a rebirthed IP from my childhood finally be amazing? :D

Saw this last night and it was practically non stop action insanity and I loved every single second of it. I sat there the entire time with a big stupid grin on my face. The fact that practically all of the stunts were real and not CGI was so refreshing to see. The Road Warrior is still my favorite Max movie but this is a close second. The Road Warrior is a better movie but Fury Road is a better spectacle. I'm going to see it again tonight.

I saw it today in 3D, Its one of the best action movies of the year.

I don't think I blinked once...good god that was one amazing, visually stunning movie. I have to say Road Warrior is better, but this was an incredible addition to the Mad Max series.

The only thing I didn't like was Immortan Joe not fighting.

This movie was a whole lot of fun. It's so nice seeing an action movie not have to rely solely on CGI.

I've already seen this three times (twice in 3D and once in 2D). Definitely going to see this a few more times and try to get more people to see it because this movie is fantastic!

Did you think it was better than the watered down last movie from 30 years ago? and glad it went back to the r-rated gritty adult formula of the first 2 movies?

It's definitely better than Thunderdome. No doubt about that. Thunderdome is not a horrible movie. It has it's moments and is worth a watch. It's just my least favorite of the series. I'm really fighting with myself on whether or not I'm starting to like Fury Road more than Road Warrior. I'll have to give it a few more watches but this really is the movie of the summer and it's definitely my favorite movie of the year so far with Ex Machina in a close second.

Which is better? I saw it in 3D and it was a little blurry at first, but my eyes adjusted...but I'm wondering if I'd like it more in 2D.


As a Mad Max movie, I think Road Warrior's story was a little better. It was more about Max than Fury Road is. At some point during Fury Road I felt it was a Furiousa movie with Max as the supporting character.

I think the 2D/3D thing depends on personal preference. The 3D is more for depth perception but there are a couple of really cool gimmicky in your face 3D moments which I personally like. You really don't lose anything with the 2D version and it's totally fine in 2D. The 2D version is also not as distracting than the 3D version. I notice that with anything in 3D I tend to pay a little more attention to the 3D and that can be a bit distracting at times when I should just be watching the movie. One thing that is annoying is that the moments that are obviously for 3D look awkward in a 2D viewing (the guitar and steering wheel shot near the end of the movie, for example).

I agree about the Road Warrior and Fury Road differences but they are also two very different Mad Max movies the same way the original Mad Mad is compared to Road Warrior. I don't mind that the movie was more of a Furiousa movie because in all honesty Furiousa was an awesome character. The interactions and team up between her and Max are kind of what made the movie for me and one of the stronger aspects of the film aside from the action sequences.

Oh man, I need to see this already. Road Warrior is one of my favorite movies.

Well, he is

Fantastic film, easily one of the best action films I've ever seen and my favourite thing to come out this year so far.

I agree. Some absolute mind bending action, and gorgeous world building scenarios, a triumph - for the first hour...

then, some really painfully dry acting and night scene, and some hyperdramatic moments.

Then crazy balls to the wall action.

Felt like a big sine wave. beautiful and thrilling when it was good, painfully uncomfortable when it wasn't.

but a visual feast beyond anything I've seen in the last 15 years.

If only this was the tone and action in TMNT. if only.

He's old, I'll give you that. It just seemed as if he was in good enough condition to get himself involved in a physical altercation.

Watched this last night; so stinkin' good.

Any news on another Mad Max movie with more Tom Hardy?

I prefer more Charlize Theron tbh.

I've never seen Mad Max films before but I feel I'm not missing out. Imperator Furiosa easily becomes instant my favorite over Max. She's so badass and there's no shoved in stupid cliche love story for her (i.e. Jurassic World's female protagonist). Very refreshing.

If they want to spin her off, I'm all for it. But...

#1. The franchise is called Mad Max, and Tom Hardy really did take a backseat. Which I'm fine with; you go where the story dictates.

#2. Max doesn't stay in one place. He and Furiosa would not encounter each other again in a way that felt organic to the story... they've separated, gone their own ways, and should not meet again.

No, but Germany is getting the director's preferred version of FURY ROAD: black-and-white.
