Mad Max 1 is cool but isn't an apocalypse movie, it's a cool ultra low budget road revenge movie.

It had the highest budget to gross ratio in film for lsike 20 years, until Blair witch came out.

Goose and the police chief are cool characters.

Yeah, I like Goose and the Police Chief, but there wasn't enough of them.

That being said I'm 10 minutes into Road Warrior and already liking it more than the first.

Movie was cool and a lot of fun. Pretty much nonstop action but I never got tired of it. I especially liked seeing all the crazy mutations people had.

The first Mad Max film is cool but it's very much a product of its time and owes more to US road movies like Vanishing Point given a coat of Aussie 'everything poo poo mate'.

I would not consider Hideo Kojima a good barometer for what the average Japanese person likes.

Salvation was still better than 3

I know people really hate 3 but Salvation was so crappy and boring where 3 at least had enough schlockiness where you didn't actively want to leave. Salvation was more competently made but somehow less substantial. That's just my experience though.

Yeah I didn't really expect the series to get actively worse from there.

I sure as poo poo didn't expect a new Mad Max movie to be excellent.

Salvation had one good scene when Christian Bale crashes the helicopter and suddenly the severed upper torso of a Terminator grabs him and just tosses him around like a ragdoll. Those ten seconds more than anything in 3, Salvation or Sarah Connor Chronicles were utterly convincing that yeah Terminators were actually cool as poo poo and super-dangerous. Even if their main mode of attack seems to be 'grab this human and throw him at a handy wall' instead of 'grab this human and crush his loving bones'.

I guess after this scene they fired whoever was on sound-mixing because nothing else in the film sounds nearly as cool.

Listening to the Mad Max 2 commentary now, George Miller has a very relaxing voice and they're try to remember if they made Mel Gibson eat actual dog food or not.

This movie was a lot like what people seem to think the Mad Max films were like all along.

It was really fuckin good though, I might have to see it again when I'm not sitting 3 feet from the screen.

Only thing I didn't care for were the couple of instances of that dumb thing they do for 3D movies where something flies toward the camera like it's coming out at you. I saw it with my sister and she apparently didn't like it, but also hadn't seen any of the other movies in entirety so I'm not entirely sure what she was expecting. :confused:

Oh yeah like that weird composite shot with the guitar flying at the screen? That was so bizarre I kind of thought it was a joke, like a throwback to the 80's thing.

Oh Professor, you'll bury us all!
Given the massive potential for Fury Road to be terrible (especially when I did not think much of the early trailers), it came as a massive relief to see how good it actually was.

Now waiting for the spin-off in which Furiosa and the Wives start a club and sit around doing cute things.
