N-no? Like Immortan Joe is a great villain but not a sympathetic kind

What? How did I not notice this.
Also, none of my friend who saw this film liked it very much. One said, "I need my films to be about more than cars and explosions," and refused to listen to me saying "but what about this." She'd already decided it was about nothing.
I need better friends.

I thought I'd seen it my first viewing and wasn't sure, then my second time confirmed it. He pulls one out of his mouth to load the gun! It's amazing.

The second one is the most similar, I think
But no, I dont think you can get a Fury Road feeling from the older ones if Fury Road was your first Mad Max.i can already say, this is my movie of the year.
not many movies made me feel like a giant manchild in the first 20 mins.
my favourite scene:
i am advocating for everyone to see this film.

when the warboys started chasing and the wardrumcar came out. my eyes mustve been sparking like a little animegirl. first and only time i will use a sailormoongif in my life to describe myself, but it just fits.

Yes. IMAX and Disney have a deal in the US that they extended to 2017. So between Age of Ultron and Tomorrowland there no chance for IMAX showings. Fury Road was shown on IMAX screens outside the US though which fucking pissed me off. I would of taken a limited 1 week showing on IMAX.

About the funny parts, only at my third viewing did I notice that the
People Eater played with his nipple rings in the scene where they spot the war rig after they decide to go back

I noticed that on my second :>
So many little details though, I keep picking more and more details off this movie. It's just chockful of goodies.
I love how the wives' caves had stacks of books, and a grand piano. They are clearly educated, that's why they knew what 'the tree thing' was, and Nux had no idea. He just called it that thing.
gah. my love for this movie is true *____*

That's pretty fuckin clean. I love it.
I feel like I'm suffering withdrawal for this movie. I want to watch it again so bad.
Nux's facial expression is perfect.

Why was this not released in China? That would have put it over the 400 mil mark I think.

China Don't Care
I think that's just a logical guess, given the timing and marketing opportunities. I don't believe any video release info is confirmed, however.
Probably because it primarily deals with people overthrowing an evil dictator of sorts. Seen as encouraging unrest.

Saw it again. Smaller screen but the colors were correct and not dark/washed out like my first viewing. I liked some of the scenes more.. A few a little less.
I love it.
EDIT: Also, these sprites are incredible

I'm not sure of the definition of "faction".
War Boys seem to be units in the Citadel's army. I'm not sure if the entire faction is actually called "War Boys".
Did the Bullet Farmers/Gas Town people have War Boys?
Compare that to when they look at the Bullet Farmers speeding towards them. Zoe lists off "Pole Cats", etc., like they're units of an army/faction, not a faction themself.
However, it looks like the Buzzards and Rock Riders are their own little "independent" factions.

3 main factions tied together: The Citadel, Gas Town and Bullet Farm.
Citadel had the War Boys for it's army.
Gas Town had the Pole Cats and Flame Boys.
Then you had groups/factions not related to those like the Buzzards and Rock Riders. So 5 total.

I can kinda understand the MRAs problem with this movie, it is ultra feminist, and I absolutely loved every second of it. what a beautiful movie with an incredible drive. I honestly did not expect it to live up to the trailers.
I definitely need sequels, prequels, whatever. just give it to me george miller.

Well, I ended up seeing Fury Road four times before it was removed from my favorite theater, and I would honestly watch it again tonight. I'm infatuated with this brilliant film. It's currently my third favorite of all time, and let me tell you, there are a hell of a lot of great movies it had to supplant to reach that spot.
I can't wait for the blu-ray.

True, but the whole controversy was actually sparked when some MRAs learned that a feminist was present on set. What they didn't know or care to find out at the time was that she was brought in specifically to coach the actresses playing Immortan Joe's wives. Just like the War Boys had military advisors to help them out. So it wasn't as though some radical feminist was hired to alter the script and oversee production or something.

Is this shiny enough? (My chromifying skills are iffy. Don't feel obligated to use it if you don't want to.)

I'm desperate to watch this again. Can't wait for the bluray.
The website that complained about the movie I don't not believe counts as MRA. but it spread like wildfire anyway.

A couple pages ago, I think. I love it.
After some consideration and a few more viewings I have come to the conclusion that this is the greatest action film I have ever seen. Everything from the action itself which is so kinetic and raw to the world building, attention to detail and the amazing performances there is nothing else currently out that is its equal. Imo.
After four theatrical viewings before it departed my town, I finally realized that the film is a master class in pretty much everything. There's no "the film would be great but for this one bad actor". Everyone bring their A game, no one is miscast. We're not complaining about shaky-cam, because the action is filmed with great clarity throughout. The script is tight but deceptively deep. There are no bad lines we cringe to. CG is used to enhance, not replace, robust practical effects and stunts. The film does not go on a minute too long; the editing is damn near perfect. The music is simply brilliant. The world building is at the peak of what can be accomplished in the visual arts.
There are certainly some small quibbles here and there; it's not a perfect film (Tom Hardy's accent is all over the place). But every discipline is firing on all cylinders throughout.
I cannot recall the last time I saw an action film, or any film, really, that was such a complete package. It's one of the best films I've ever seen.

It's the same feeling I got after watching The Matrix for the first time. I was also maybe 17 or 18 when it came out so I might have been easily impressed. But the glee I got from watching Fury Road is something I have not felt since then. I agree on Hardy. He will need to focus his accent in the sequel. My only "aw, shucks" reaction was the lack of Mad Max in an Interceptor, but that's not even a complaint lol.
