I thought the movie was mostly about Max , but wasn't solely his story. I'm not sure I've seen that before.

There were a number of "Holy ****!" moments, which I found really refreshing.

Spoiler

That first "Witness me" suicide
Splendid going under the wheels (pretty much because Max shot her earlier)
The tanker exploding in the middle of that chase
Max getting shot in the head
Rictus ripping the engine apart on the War-rig

So the guitar and speakers dude didn't bother anyone?

Wasteland with Van Halen speakers?

Maybe GM will do a Lucas and go back to RW and put working speakers in all the cars with blaring heavy metal music.

Humungus the Metal Lord will be his new name.

Oh well, I guess if there are working cars there can be working speakers.

I'll eventually come around on this movie.

You mean Coma Doof? **** no. A blind, deaf guy strapped in that just wants to shred and has no clue whats happening around him. amazing.

Not at all. I loved that. My overall impression of these movies was of a lunatic world so that fit right in I thought.

 

[jye4ever]

Was he blind/deaf, I missed that explanation.

At first I thought the silver spray was some form of explosive!

Deckard and fosing will set me straight.

Pretty good movie. Fast paced with over the top characters and action! Now we need some 1:6 figures.

Those damn heavy accents.

Shouldn't there be giant spiders in post apocalyptic Australia?

Not that it would take much to make Australia spiders any bigger really.

Even if this movie made a fortune in profit I don't think HT would touch it.

 

[Deckard]

Well you can google two-headed spider if you want some nightmare fuel.

Uh what? Max is the reason they make it as far as they do. He stops Nux's suicide run right off the bat. Also the reason they decide to go back instead of heading into a random direction in the desert. He saves Furiosa a few times on top of the rig, and with the transfusion. He does a **** ton more than most people seem to be giving him credit for.

Also about 90 percent sure that isn't Max's daughter. She just represents the people he always abandons to be on his own. He hears a ton of people when he has those visions, and at one point hears his son call him poppa but I'm fairly certain he never had a daughter.

Well put.


This hyperbole that Furiosa was the main character and stole the show from Max is annoying. Max is clearly the center of the film. There are so many moments where the story doesn't progress without him being a catalyst of sorts. He saves the war rig from being blown to bits, he saves the war rig from over heating, he leaves the group to go kill the blinded "Justice" guy and load up on more ammo and explosives. Hell, it is Max's idea to go back to te Citadel! There's also Nux. Are people forgetting his substantial character arc? He starts out as an insane war boy to an enlightened, sympathetic hero. Every character gets their time to shine.

It seems like, because Max isn't dead center on stage, chewing up scenery, people write it off as it not being "his" story. That's missing the point of his character in my opinion. Honestly, it reminds me of the criticisms of Batman 1989 where critics kept writing off Batman and saying it should be called "The Joker", just because Batman/Bruce Wayne was an introverted/non-flamboyant character. I guarantee if someone timed/stop watched Max's screen time on this film, it would be more than any other character.

if it had a robot or a robot suit, you know hot toys would... too bad

 

[jye4ever]

How did Furiosa even become his top general when all other women in that society were cows, slave workers or sex slaves.

Of course the one single female he trusted turned on him.

If this film doesn't prove that Theron is so beautiful nothing will...even with one arm and so f'd up at the end I'ld hit that...LOL I bet Jye would agree.. My only thing is that I wish Max was the one that the heavy hated(like the past films) and not Furiosa.
