Fury Road was dumb and barely entertaining and this one looks about the same.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think I'm the only one who thought Furry Road was way overrated. Not only that, but whereas Road Warrior (1981) was a passable and semi-plausible extension of the first MM film (1979), George Miller really lessened the credibility of the original themes with the third movie, MM Beyond Thunderdome. It was like he caved into Hollywood studio pressure to make the franchise less dark and serious, and less directly violent, and more campy, like a Saturday afternoon kids film. Fury Road was just a mutation of Road Warrior with a “feminist” angle added by Theron’s character. I wasn’t that impressed with it either, especially when the Interceptor got crashed inside the first 3 minutes of the movie. |

My biggest complaint about Fury Road was "not enough Max".
Now, you want me to watch a Mad Max movie with no Max at all? Hard pass. I am so over all this fucking girl power bullshit. |

The concept of a Fury Road Furiosa prequal is retarded and I hate tiny girl boss shit, yet the trailer got me interested and I'll probably watch it. I'm not proud of it.

Gotta give it to my man George. Convinced a bunch of good looking women to stand outside in a freezing Namibian desert wearing silk negligee then soak with with water. Zoe Kravitz nipples not only are fantastic to behold but they looked like they were about to launch into orbit!
Plus, supposedly after the primere viewing. Robert Rodriguez allegedly stood up and exclaimed "How the fu*k did you do that?" to George and the audience (referring to the hour long car chase). AND George had his wife edit the movie. She had never done an action movie before and she did a fantastic job. Plus, this is all from the guy who also did Babe and Happy Feet! |

But the other Max movies have very little to do with Max. He's there and he's the catalyst for: the settlers trying to escape from Humungous, or Auntie trying to get rid of Master-Blaster, and his skills are what help those other people to achieve their goals. But they are almost never Max's goals. And, so, at the end they ride off and leave Max standing in the desert.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'll watch it. She's a younger version of Theron's character & Hemsworth is a younger Immortan Joe. My problem is that Furiosa was just a generic girl-power character that didn’t do much and Immortan Joe wasn’t even an interesting villain. Nothing about those characters made me wish I knew more about them. Hell, Master/Blaster was more interesting than those two, and I don’t want or need a movie about them either. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: "Put a chick in it and make her gay!" How is it a Mad Max movie if Max isn't actually the main character? It's more strip mining of a better IP to put butts in seats. Well... not my arse. Fury Road stunk on ice... this looks actually worse. |

Nothing about those characters made me wish I knew more about them. He killed people, he kidnapped people, he did terrible things, but not much in excess of what the fucked up situation required. Furiosa ends up in charge after his death, after she recklessly destroyed their trade relationships, betrayed her fellow troops, made deals with their barbarian and outsider enemies, and got 80% of the military killed while chasing her as she escaped to a dead end swamp, while bearing no children herself. Who were they were better off with? |

Many people just don't understand that, but between the cinematography and the action sequences, the film deserved critical acclaim. |

Mumble Road was just kinda meh. I think Tom Hardy played a great Max, but the “passing of the torch” to the girl boss Furiosa was lame. As it has been in every other franchise.
I do like expanded universe movies though and will watch this one too. |

I don't think anybody asked for this movie. She was already the main character in fucking Mad Max's own movie. The movie was ok, but it's another instance in a long line of movies and TV shows where the main male character gets fucking sidelined in his own movie/TV show for girl power's sake.

I thought Fury Road was ok for a watch, but it left me not wanting more. It left me feeling like "OK, that's what a modern Mad Max film is going to be... that's done, let's do something else."
Also, is it just me or does this trailer feel very... edited. By that I mean all the shots feel like comps. Like everything was shot on a green screen and edited together in post. The actors feel like they are "apart" from many of the backgrounds of the scenes they are in. Some of the shots feel practical, as in "that is a stunt performer doing a stunt"... but a lot of the shots in the trailer feel very very fake. Makes me wonder if they just hurriedly churned out this trailer with fast and dirty editing / comp work just to get it out to start to gin up interest knowing that audiences are turning against these kind of girl power films lately. |
