Hopefully, one day we'll get a proper Mad Max sequel.

I don't believe there can be a proper Mad Max sequel without Mel Gibson...so pretty much never.

I dunno. As the trailer implies, if they just did a reality show of Mel Gibson it would probably be an OK sequel.

Best bit of the trailer was about all the wasting of the 2 most scarce resources in this post apocalyptic world. Surely there's a better way of distributing this stuff.

Are we sure Furiosa's first name isn't Maxine?

Furiosa is a bastardisation of furious, which is another word for mad, and Max is Max. So Mad is Furiosa and Max is the sidekick.


anyhow i always found it unfair that people had gripes with furiousa being the main character

it was shared

this is a savage MAD WORLD , I DON'T THINK DOING THINGS SANELY IS THE POINT

alot of the waste was due to it being a one way trip , so wasting gas doesnt really matter, nor does wasting water count too

max wasted water, hes kinda crazy 

the brides too , theyre kinda MEGA NAIVE to the outside world

Yeah, I would take bipolar, ranting Mel Gibson any time - even back in 80s, you could see there's some madness behind his eyes and that's why he was the perfect MAD Max - you can't just act that.

Unfortunatelly, Miller decided that this is to be James Bond type of thing, Max is always to be about the same age, so no to old, pissed off, politically uncorrect Max - we're just stuck with Tom 'Hardly can act'.

Hopefully, at least he'll be main lead next time and there we'll be no more of this Feminist Road sort of shit.

and there it is , having one summer blockbuster with a few strong heroines really is a problem :/

geez the feminist issues were blwon out of proportion

i mean mad max complaints are weird
hes the main protag but he ALWAYS KINDA WANDERS IN OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT
i mean he has the most screen time
but the story and conflict in the LATTER 2 ARE STUFF HE JUST WANDERS IN ON others problems
heck the first part of mad max 1 it felt alot like goose was the focus
thunderdome and road warriro he kinda wanders in on crazy stuff

amazing film,but pretty accurate
OH AND
Age of Ultron?

Mediocre!

Jurassic World?

Mediocre!

Terminator: Genysis?

*anguished scream*
had me rolling
sad that they were all average

except Age of Ultron was better than Mad Max.  Sorry but it can't make up for a lack of dialogue and character development and general acting (other than Theron) AND a forgettable villain with just practical effects.  It can win all the awards for stunts and visuals as it deserves all those but AoU had a much better story and better acting (from yours truly) as well as a deeper villain (no he didn't just make jokes pay attention to the dialogue)

except it wsant age of ultron was the dictionary definition of dissapointment

ultron was pretty meh

all the scenes and quips ( which they were too many off ) all felt better in the trailers

there was too much forced into the movie with lttle pay off

vision was cool but everyone else was meh 

quicksilvers death felt kinda cheap

also incredibly incredibly silly plot holes that made no sense , loool ultron really made a bomb he had to push instead of wirelessly

why not create chaos in the world , crash stocks empty bank accounts , leave the avengers distracted

sha sha it was serviceable , BUT MEDIOCRE



I also preferred Fury Road over the other Mad Maxes, and I'll even add that the original one was my 2nd favorite over Road Warrior. Heck, if it wasn't for them turning Thunderdome into a Peter Pan story in the second half and kept things going as they were from the first half of the film, I would have enjoyed that film more than Road Warrior. Blasphemy, I know, but it's my honest opinion.

I agree with everything Emperorbach wrote previously, and I find it hard to understand the complaints about Max not being the focus or center of the film and people dissing Hardy for not doing much. Max was never driving force of plot in the other films, he always just comes into the plot as a bystander in the other films and is just a reactionary character to what's going on. Also, I doubt it was Hardy's choice to be tied up for half of the film, so if that pisses you off, gripe about the writing. Plus, Max barely speaks in the other movies at all (maybe he gets more lines in the first, though I don't remember for sure), so Hardy having to resort to grunting and moments of silence is in character of Max.

I loved the film so much, it was one of my favorite movies of the year (if not THE favorite). I think it's one of the best action blockbuster films I may have ever seen.

I'm impressed, especially at the people who value Road Warrior above every other movie, that you people still haven't realized Mad Max is supposed to be a Yojimbo kind of guy. He changes the course of the story by being someone completely unrelated to what is going on. Just like Mel Gibson, who only wanted some gasoline for his car in Road Warrior, Tom just wanted to drive away from that madness tower. They both got caught into something bigger, and they had no other way to carry on but by helping the people.

Agreed.

Age of Ultron > Mad Max Fury Road, by alot.

Dont get people saying its deserveing of a oscar and whatnot, makes no sense to me.

Nothing wrong with strong female characters, Aunty Entity being one of many examples in Mad Max world - superficial feminism is just one of many problems Fury Road is suffering from.

just because he was in the internet doesn't mean he had control of it all.  He could just travel his essense through it.  Jarvis stopped him from getting nuke codes and the viewer can assume he was stopping anything else Ultron was going for.  Not to mention Ultron before Vision was stolen wanted to subjugate humanity and make them change not destroy them.  He also had an ego like a robot with emotions should and wanted to beat them head to head.  He was also very immature.  He was given all the factual information but his emotions were completely out of whack.  These deeper parts of the character go completely over most people who hate the film's heads when watching but they are there nonetheless.  See his dialogue ("stay away from me" and "nononono they'll understand once they see they'll understand")  he's very conflicted until the end and even wants to make Wanda approve in sort of an Oedipus complex sort of way.

How is everyone meh now?  The characters with solo movies are still just as awesome as ever and my character and Steve have evolved in interesting ways that is clearly leading into Civil War.  Vision was a great new addition.  Hawkeye and Black Widow were given deeper characters and Hawkeye had some of the best one liners in the film (nobody would know...nobody lol)

The payoff will come in sequels to the stuff I think you're talking about (Thor well?).  There was plenty here to stand alone (some people complain about too much in the film then complain about not enough resolution so go figure lol) so it's not like they sacrificed anything in the film.  It's meant to be a part of a bigger universe and as we're seeing with MoS leading into BvS this kinda stuff is going to be done over multiple films now.
