Mad Max: Fury Road
 

So, I dressed up and went to go see it with a bunch of friends on the 15th, and I'm still kinda amped when I think about it. Excellently crafted and completely insane and wonderful.


And then someone went and made this:


I can't tell whether that mash-up would make it 10x better, or slightly worse.

You dressed up? Tell me more.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

I loved the Chain Chomp.

What was the film itself like, any good? Curious to know what a Mad Max film without Mel Gibson is like.

Also, am I the only one who found the name Max Rockatansky a bit cheesy.... XD

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

A movie without Mel Gibson has a higher chance of being good than one with him.

Take that back...

Honestly, I didn't have much to go with. I just used a Brit desert DPM as my top, with a belt holding some old '50s Soviet clip pouches and a knife as an improvised bandolier/chest rig. A shemagh, Texas flag handkerchief, rebreather, and goggles for the head, multicam pants and wildland fire boots for the bottom, with archery gear (arm guards, finger pads, etc) as extra armor. I was lacking sports armor and leather, the two primary components of most Mad Max attire.
The film was fucking incredible. I mean, if you think crazy modified vehicles, exploding throwing spears, fights for freedom, and flamethrower guitars are fucking incredible. If not, then you might not enjoy the film as much.


EDIT: I saw it again yesterday, because I had some spare time. It's worth it, there's little things you probably will miss the first time around simply because there's so much stuff to take in.

Who doesn't like flamethrower guitars, I mean seriously who ?!!!!

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

It wasn't a bad 'remake', but I still prefer the original.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

I thought this movie was bad-ass. I enjoyed it.

Adding Mario Kart makes for an interesting take on it.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

I got to see the film a bit ago too and it was pretty decent. Special effects and so on are amazing. The only thing I didn't quite get, which may be a bit of a major flaw, was the plot. I mean I sort of understood this woman was smuggling out other women who were being treated as slaves and Max ended up getting involved somehow, but I think I need a second watch just to fully understand it.

But still, I liked it a lot.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

I liked the 'remake', but the original was better. Maybe it needs to grow on me.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

I don't think it was so much a remake as a sequel to be fair.

Re: Mad Max: Fury Road
 

I've seen every Mad Max film, and I'm terribly tired of hearing Fury Road referred to as a remake. Honestly it's my favorite of the 4, as it seems to carry on in traditional Mad Max fashion (Obviously retaining the same creative direction of the creator and director, George Miller).

I also personally prefer Tom Hardy by miles over Mel Gibson in terms of acting in general. As fantastic and defining as Gibson's Max was, I think Hardy was a more than competent replacement.

Really, Fury Road was just the best movie of the Summer, imo. Business as usual for a legendary franchise that has always played by its own rules.
