Hell yeah.

Reviews are off to a fantastic start. Friday can't get here soon enough.

 

[Schweinehund]

Oh wow, seems like the action movie of the year already.

 

[Sambrez_]

Looks like the wait was worth it.

 

[Nappuccino]

Arrow season 3 having 100% rotten score helps reiterate its stupidity but boy if that 100% for Mad Max and the actual review snippets doesn't make my jimmies rustle in a good way.

Pulled 2 other mates in to a steak and Max night this Friday. Good be good yo.

To be fair, the TV shows are harder to judge because they generally only include reviews for the premier and the first 3-4 episodes--however many the reviewers were given at the start.

Yeah RT for tv is beyond worthless

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Didn't think it was possible to be more hyped for this film.

 

[B33]

Birth.Movies.Death. posted a glowing review penned by Devin Faraci: "MAD MAX: FURY ROAD Review - A Modern Action Masterpiece"

 

[guek]

Strange how this will probably be my favorite movie this year but my hype is only at medium

 

[Cheebo]

The Road Warrior is one of my top 10 sci-fi films of all time, and I keep seeing reviews saying this is even better than it. I am so excited. More than any film this summer I need this to blow me away.

 

[Theecliff]

holy shittttttt at those reviews

 

[Vampirolol]

Thursday can't come sooner.

i'm gonna go one further and say this may likely be the best blockbuster of the year, period. this and star wars in their marketing have shown that this is the right way to do franchise revivals. other people should take note of 2015.

"Even the 'Fast and Furious' movies look like Autopia test drives next to George Miller's powerhouse reimagining of his iconic 'Mad Max' franchise."

That Variety quote.

I didn't think it was possible to be more hyped.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I kept thinking about what would happen if this movie didn't meet my expectations

I never stopped to think what would happen if it DID

 

[hamchan]

Wowza at the reviews. Might have to go watch it in 2 days.

Timeout - 5/5 "Utterly embarrasses a generation of Hollywood blockbusters"

 

[Kenzodielocke]

FUCKING ALLEY.

[Loxley]

Holy crap this sounds amazing.

 

[greatestjediever]

Wow these reviews. Gonna book some tickets for Friday then

 

[CommandThrower]

This movie has my attention, but I must admit: I've never seen a Mad Max movie.

Time to change that.

 

[Anton Sugar]

That tweet is perfect.

Honestly, the movie's action is a little revelatory, in a way. It was like a "ooooh, so THIS is what 'chaos cinema' is supposed to look like." It's like George Miller woke up from a nap, looked at what blockbusters had accomplished over the past two decades (I'm including superhero movies in this), and decided to show us how it's done.

This movie has some of the movie coherent yet chaotic action I've ever seen. The applause at the end of our screening may as well have been roars for Michael Bay to sit the fuck down.

 

[Invictus]

So glad the reviews are looking good.
So people like being able to follow what's going on in an action sequence. Imagine that. I hope Hollywood is paying attention.

 

[Nibel]

I was ready for good reviews, but not incredible ones.

 

[Eighty Deuce]

I was already on the hype train, but I didn't expect these reviews

 

[hamchan]

God I hope this movie does well at the box office.

 

[Won]

I have a 4 day weekend coming up. I think I will just watch this movie everyday.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Why aren't there review threads for movies ? There should definitely be one.

 

[Carbonox]

If I read right the domestic opening is tipped at around $40m? What could we be looking at tracking-wise overall? Or is that info unavailable to us just yet.

Lol this is exactly how I felt coming out of the theater. From the director of Babe: Pig in the City and Happy Feet, no less.

Never doubt this man

 

[W Hudson]

So can I see this in imax without it being 3d?

 

[ogbg]

Nope

 

[DragonSworne]

Why does the OP lack release dates?

When is this movie out in the theater?

 

[Melon Husk]

Could Miller make Furiosa better?

Spoiler

... Is such a thing even possible?

 

[Currygan]

these reviews. My dick can't get harder

 

[jtb]

People keep bringing up the whole Babe and Happy Feet thing (in jest, I know) but that's the entire problem with blockbuster filmmaking today. The only guys getting directing gigs are the ones who have been pegged as "blockbuster" directors or are on that fasttrack. Having directorial range and being willing to take career chances are negatives these days.

Refer to IMDb for all of the dates.

 

[Simo]

There usually are. I didn't make one because I'm at work and can't copy and post links and quotes for them all. lol

Someone else is more than welcome to it though!

Look again next to where it says "Release Dates" under the banner. lol

Looking at average rating seems to be a better gauge, where it's standing at right now is pretty impressive for that.

Now just imagine Miller's Justice League or his version of Contact and what could of been.



Not at all.

If Mad Max doesn't do crazy at BO I'm sure WB will have a spot for him on their slate of DC movies.

Haha, nice. Love Ebiri.

Hey, now! Babeig in the City is great.

Exactly. I think the people who are going to make the best action scenes are the filmmakers who have the best understanding of cinema. People who think a lot, about their medium, and about life.

Babe: Pig in the City is an incredibly atmospheric and beautiful film, by the way, and the little action in it is well staged too.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Happy Feet and Babe: Pig in the City are damn good movies

George Miller is just that talented, b

 

[strafer]

haha George did Babe in the city?

awesome
