Fury Road was the best fucking Mad Max ever made. Sorry, Not sorry a bunch of people were offended by strong female character who lived and thrived through untold horrors in that barbaric universe.

Anyway, fucking excited about this.

I was really hoping to see a Mad Max sequel, but then again, Miller's universe is huge and can have many different adjacent
stories going on. Though Max is more of a legend/mythical person being told about from generations after his actually lived.

Overall, I liked Fury Road well enough. The move was cinematically amazing (saw it in 4K 3D) and Tom Hardy played a pretty good Max but, I did not appreciate Max being so sidelined in his own movie. So, while not bad, it could have been better.

If they want to make a "cinematic universe" in the modern Mad Max world, at least give us a couple movies with Hardy as Max, since you just introduced him, and then feel free to spin off Furiosa.

Just MHO.

This kind of smells like a woke version of madmax. I guess we shall see.

What I really liked about all the previous max maxes including fury road was that most of the vehicles and stunts were real.

This curiosa movie looks suspiciously like a lot of CGI which would be disappointing. Like I said we shall see.

Fury Road was fantastic.  This, however, looks like it misses the mark.  The trailer has to do an overt narration?  The cinematography looks, well it just looks off, and not on par with the visuals of Fury Road.

Maybe the trailer just sucks?

Fury Road wasn't a Mad Max movie. it was a Furiosa movie and about her saving all of the female slaves. Mad Max the character just happened to be in it, but he had very little effect on the plot and the movie. He was a gimmick.

This is just another Furiosa movie.

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.

That's why Mad Max (1979) is so fucking awesome. Sure Road Warrior and Fury Road - and even Thunderdome - are all entertaining as hell, but the original was a real character study. Such a great film.. This might prove to be the same if done right, but it won't be.

People said the same about Fury Road. They were wrong. George Miller shot it practical and added some cg to enhance, but all of those insane crashes were real. Personally, I loved Fury Roan and Furiosa as a character- this and Alien: Romulus are my two most anticipated movies. George Miller is a genius - a doctor who left medicine to make movies. I’m 100% confident this will be amazing.

Watching on my phone so maybe it wasn't all cgi or some odd artifact of imax but there was some really off movements and shit for vehicles with too shiney textures and weird lighting.
Half the appeal of the mad max stuff was the practical effects and cobbled together ratrod stuff.

I didn't see it that way.  Max's story is always about what is right, and keeping good moral character when all around you is evil and falling.  He wants to help everyone, but knows he can only do so much as one man.  His feeling of guilt is constant, by not being able to "save" everyone.

Let's look at his story arc in Fury Road:

He had the guts to try and escape.
Thus, led to his classification as "high octane" blood...
Which turned into him being brought along for the chase...
Then he helped all of those women, including Furiosa, to survive...mostly.  He did a LOT of sacrificing for the good of others.
He had a lasting effect on at least one of the warboys, in such a short time frame.
At the end of the day, he did the best he could and saved lives, by doing the right thing all the time.
His personal guilt remains.

Max is and always will be the hero, and example to look up to.

Furiosa came off as more of a poorly planning idiot in Fury Road.  Her heart seemed to be in the right place, but really she just wanted to get herself back to the green place.  She failed...miserably, and got some of the people she was trying to help killed in the end.  Of note, she couldn't have remotely accomplished a fraction of the "good" of what she did without Max.

I'll wait for some reviews on this new one.  I enjoyed the story of Fury Road, but the visuals/audio/cinematography/dialogue are really what made it special.

That's insightful and I had not looked at it that way. My complaint about Max being sidelined in his own movie still stands though and is my primary issue with the movie. Same thing with Superman Returns. Brandon Routh barely has any lines in the movie. It's all about freaking Louis Lane. Sound familiar?

Thank you!  Like you, I was disappointed when the Fury Road trailers came out and even on my initial viewing, I thought that it was a Furiosa movie instead.  However, after I watched it again and then put a little more thought into it, I came to the realization above.  I can easily see where most people would feel like Max was sidelined.  I'm going to watch it again over the Christmas break, somewhere between Die Hard and Christmas Vacation....  Out of curiosity, I may try to calculate the screen time of Max vs. Furiosa, for funsies.

I've learned to not set any expectations before going into a movie, and also to catch a few reviews before spending for a theater.  It's worked out much better this way.  For example, I was able to really enjoy The Batman by following that advice (and I am a huge fan of the Nolan versions).

Fury Road was awesome. There’s something wrong with you if you didn’t enjoy it.


Based on this trailer… not optimistic about this one. Hope Miller can pull it off.
