Mad Max: Fury Road

[karamazov80]

I think Mel Gibson would've made a great Max.

Well, he can pull off crazy better now than he could in his younger years.

3D was laser sharp and totally enhanced the action scenes.

Except for that stupid cgi steering wheel at the end!

Such a standard 3-D gimmick I could tell that was why it was included.

Mel would've made a perfect TDKR Max.

Regarding that 3D gimmick, which it was, that had to come from WB, I can't picture GM wanting that.

Going to see this on Tuesday... A bit concerned that Max is a side character (figured from trailers) but it looks great... Curious to see who I side with Jye or A-Dev

 

[jye4ever]

You hated AOU, so a-dev.

How much do you love RW?

 

[krec9]

Great was on the edge my seat loved every minute of it not even a Mad Max fan.

 

[Adolfo]

This film no doubt left us aching for more of Max...

 

[jye4ever]

The film left me aching to run home and throw on RW.

Which is a good thing I guess depending how you read that.

My 2nd viewing plans fell thru, my god daughter's mother was diagnosed with bone cancer and quickly admitted to the hospital so I agreed to take on her 2 young daughters for her while she deals with that horrendous crisis, life comes around like that and slaps us on the face to remind us how absolutely fast it all can come to an end!

Anyways, hopefully sometime next weekend i'll revisit this.

If Mel was in this it would have been great. Instead they decided to chucking ruin it.

 

[jye4ever]

Even I think you're being too harsh on it, I don't think they ruined anything, don't forget that Beyond Thunderdome ruined what came before and that had Mel in it!

Beyond Thunderdome after RW is like TDKR after TDK!

I don't think them using TH ruined FR.

Mel Gibson made his bed, he now has to lay in it.

Next time try not throwing your employers under the bus, that usually ends a career!

Thanks for that. Chuffed that my opinion stood out enough to be representative of a side

Man... After reading some of these comments.... Star Wars VII has no chance from fans!!!!

 

[jye4ever]

If SW survived the PT it can survive the wasteland of forum opinions.

 

[Sithlord1975]

E for Effort!!! Hardy zero personality no charisma in the film should have got a oak tree to play the part. Had none of the edgy thousand mile stare of mad Mel. Lots of set pieces upped all the violence. Waste of money once again.

I can see it now. Everyone else watching Max is having a great time, big smiles, chewin popcorn - and you're sitting there, arms folded, confused furled eyebrows, and just can't wait to go home and use the bathroom.

 

[jye4ever]

I didn't even have enough people in my screening for that scenario to play out.

3 people and I was 1 of the 3! WTF.

 

[Sithlord1975]

I want to see this guy appear in the sequel...View attachment 185301
But who could play him now? I'm thinking....

STEPHEN MERCHANT, could play him. Tall, lanky and a much better fit look wise.

 

[jye4ever]

Would've been great if Max found out at the end that IJ was the Gyro Captain or Feral kid!

Imagine his face when that was revealed.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Seeing this tomorrow, I'm excited. Trailers look sick.

Looks like a Twisted Metal movie.

 

[jye4ever]

If all you want out of it is a TM movie, you're about to experience the best movie of your life!

IJ has even been described as Sweet Tooth come alive!

However, nothing came close to the emotional impact of when Max plays with the music box in the RW, but those are my emotions, you might not give a crap about that scene.

 

[Deckard]

So awesome George accomplished all this at 70.

Did you notice Toast playing with the same music box in the cab of the War-Rig? Or during one of the visions, Max sees Toecutter's eyes popping out of his head from the original.

Who was toast, I need to see this again.

I remember seeing the eyes though, that was cool.
