Jefuemon Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 When you use half of the trailer time to show scenes of previous movies, that doesn't bode well for me. Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 When you use half of the trailer time to show scenes of previous movies, that doesn't bode well for me. I'm assuming you've missed the two main trailers and the other teasers and TV spots? Quote
Jefuemon Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I'm assuming you've missed the two main trailers and the other teasers and TV spots? TV spots, of course. I don't think even the first teasers have played over here yet. Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 TV spots, of course. I don't think even the first teasers have played over here yet. I'd suggest YouTube or searching back a few pages in this thread. Multiple trailers have been out for months. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Granted I only frequent a few forums but this thread seems to have the most negative responses to the trailers so far (others are mostly positive). That said, count me as excited for this one. I like Hardy and don't give a damn about Gibson. Edited April 16, 2015 by xrentonx Quote
reddsun1 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) As well as they've cleaned up/sharpened the footage, I'd say: fugit--just re-release the originals (first 2, anyways). The hell did they think they needed to re-dub all the sfx for though? 1:23 -- Hehe, took me over 20 years to notice it; but in the split-second shot when Max smashes the Humungus in the Mack, the other marauders in the shot are all parked, sitting still.

Mommar Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 This was a much better trailer than the previous ones have been. I'm interested again. Quote
Old_Nash Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) The only thing that bothers me a little is tha prothesis of Charlize. I mean, that thing is much advanced compared to the rest of the scenario. Some more and will look like fallout XD Edited April 29, 2015 by Old_Nash Quote

Some more and will look like fallout XD That, and the fact that they apparently have gunsmiths, too(?) Where the heck are they getting ammo for all them AK's? Somebody help me out; when is this story supposed to be generally taking place again? Before or after the events of MM2? I thought that one pretty well established that things like firearms--or more importantly ammo--were even more rare and precious than guzzoline? Quote

jvmacross Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 The movie sets after MM3. Has that been confirmed somewhere? I thought it was a "retelling" of MM1 or MM2...or something like that..... Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) It's simply another tale set in that world. It's not a reboot or a remake, or really a sequel or prequel of any kind. Miller defines it as a "revisit." Edited April 29, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote

Firearms, ammunition, advanced prosthetics, and vehicles that only a well heeled and equipped custom build shop would be able to produce stick out like a sore thumb, but I'll check out this "revisit" to Mad Max anyway...

Jefuemon Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Slight deviation, but the game looks kind of interesting. Quote
xrentonx Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I heard it takes place between MM and Road Warrior and it's a revisit. I'm OK with throwing away any notions of canon. I just want to be entertained so I hope this is good. Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Given the fact we got guys running around with flame thrower guitars, and monster trucks it makes me wonder if this bad guy isn't some sort of gas hoarding baron, and that maybe that isn't water being dumped on the larg crowd of people in the trailer.

spanner Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I really loved the first two movies but I just don't know what to make of this.. hope it turns out better than it looks going by the previews of course. Quote
jvmacross Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Colors used are an obvious nod to the Road Warrior poster. Edited May 9, 2015 by jvmacross Quote
Hikuro Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 That look on tom hardy for the poster is the look of a man who has seen things a man should never seen and seen to much of it. I like it! I might have to try and buy a poster if I can find one. Quote
Gakken85 Posted May 9, 2015 Posted May 9, 2015 Tom Hardy is just the best actor of his generation. He has a hell of a face to begin with. Quote
myk Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Given the fact we got guys running around with flame thrower guitars, and monster trucks it makes me wonder if this bad guy isn't some sort of gas hoarding baron, and that maybe that isn't water being dumped on the larg crowd of people in the trailer. I hope they make a replica flamethrower guitar for the noodlers out there... Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) /Film: Mad Max: Fury Road Is Spectacular Action Filmmaking With Theron and Hardy in the lead roles and Miller again in the drivers seat, Fury Road isnt merely good enough to obliterate the lingering sting of the last film (Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, released in 1985), but so good that it rivals The Road Warrior and shames all Hollywoods current action tendencies. This film develops its own specific ambition by placing dueling concepts about heroism into the framework of one of the best action movies Ive ever seen. Rotten Tomatoes - Mad Max: Fury Road Currently at 100% fresh with 34 reviews in (granted, many more reviews to go). Edited May 11, 2015 by Duke Togo Quote
Mommar Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 That is quite a review. I wasn't sold on the movie until that final trailer which had the right feel of Mad Max. With this review I think I've gone from interested to excited. Quote
myk Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 I don't think I've ever seen a movie with that much praise, so early in its time. Definitely be checking it out... Quote
Duke Togo Posted May 11, 2015 Author Posted May 11, 2015 I don't think I've ever seen a movie with that much praise, so early in its time. Definitely be checking it out... Up to 34 reviews, including 6 top critics. Still 100% Quote
TangledThorns Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I want to see this movie but I suspect it won't be the hit it deserves as Pitch Perfect 2 is coming out this weekend too. Quote
reddsun1 Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 I skimmed Russ Fischer's review, and I must say: I am intrigued. After getting past the sh*ts-and-giggles stage of seeing all that action and violence--and that bada$$ muthafu**in' car--as a kid, I came to appreciate the first 2 for the great movies that they are, warts and all. For me, it's the amazing amount of effort and attention to details that Miller et al put into those films that have made me come to appreciate them on a whole different level. From the characters' dialogue, that isn't too wordy but still speaks volumes as to their relationships to each other, like Charlie and Roop; to their wardrobe and makeup, like Toecutter's gang's tattoos, or the evolution and continuity of Max's uniform from the 1st film to the 2nd--a lot of it is so subtle or seen so briefly that it really takes multiple viewings to catch it all. But it all works towards fleshing out the world the characters are in, helping fill in the backstory so that it lends their world a depth that a lot of other movies can't match. Fischer's review reads as though Miller has once again brought this herculean effort and attention to detail to his latest outing, and I'm actually considering going over to the theater across the street after work to check it out, come this Friday.
