One of my friends dismissed this film, saying she hates "how every movie gets remade these days". smh

Did you tell her it wasn't a remake?

Yes, but I told her it was a sequel, lol (it was some time ago, I didn't know much about this film yet even though I was already pumped)

And that it is the original creator coming back to it and a labor of love should be enough. It isn't some studio mandated sequel or reboot. It is the original writer and director himself coming back to what he loves. That is one of the nice and exciting things about the film.

So the inverse of Terminator: Genisys.

Imagine Michael Bay's Mad Max with Mel Gibson.

Imagine Michael Bay's Mad Max with Mel Gibson.

And in several years, once the rights revert back to him, James Cameron will make one final Terminator film to show everyone how it is done.

I can dream, can't I?

Also, for those who ARE Rottenwatching, and ARE getting something out of it - looks like the RT percentage is actually 98% now (47 positives to 1 negative) and the Top Critics (which is, personally, a little more important as a LOT of the chaff is skimmed off that way) is at 100%, 8 for 8, including

Entertainment Weekly

Village Voice

Did you just say Jeremy Jahns was DOWN TO EARTH?

He has that everyman, relatable quality to him...doesn't he?

I'm curious what crap are we talking about?

Spoiler

I hope you're not talking about Birdman

Mostly the nerdy crap like Avengers 2.

Chris Stuckmann' s review.

He goes crazy

Sure, but still, you're saying you were planning on seeing it. Now you're just gonna see it earlier than you thought.

I'm just saying I don't know about the viability of thread-title as film advocacy, is all.

Man, I never asked anyone to change the title and I thought a mod stopped in here yesterday to caution about Rottenwatching and the like? Now I see they did change the title. I only suggested someone go ahead and create a review thread if folks want to discuss and analyze the reviews that come from RT.

Anyways I saw photos of the Sydney Opera House and the premiere preparations...holy shit they really are rolling out all the cars and War Rig through the city!

Also just a reminder but next week "The Art of" companion book is released along with the first issue on the back story comic series written by Miller and his team.

Wait, in Indy? How/where?

You can try this. My friend got his someway like this. (Actually, I just tried this. It totally works. Go get registered and get some tickets.)

You should go to MarkDubec.com and linger there for future ticket chances.

You are a GOD. I got my pass, just need to get there early now.

 

[entremet]

Jesus at these reviews.

Glad to hear it. I'm meeting my brother in law there at 6 PM. Movie doesn't start til 7:30. Should be enough time.

[BronsonLee]

Holy shit

 

[CharminUltra]

LOOOOL

HOLY SHIT.

 

[Tugatrix]

What about Die Hard Lord Humungus?

 

[ninjabat]

Haha, awesome gif.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Lethal Weapon is better.

Just walk away...

My "Inspired Artists" art book just showed up! 65 pieces of artwork, double spread pages. Some of the stuff in here would of made great posters for the movie.

 

[Messofanego]

Verge's (formerly Polygon) Chris Plante fucked up lol, didn't even check when George Miller accidentally said The Road Warrior had 120 shots (that would make it comparable to slow cinema like some Bella Tarr/Tarkovsky shit haha), he probably should have added another zero:
http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/12/8592629/mad-max-fury-road-cuts-director-interview-the-road-warrior

Of course Tony Szhou (Every Frame A Painting) had to point out the mistake which made Chris Plante correct the article, and editors of websites probably should fact check even if taking stuff verbatim from a source.

And obviously number of cuts/average shot length usually isn't generally helpful about quality of a movie because as Tony says, the pacing and rhythm of the cuts is what matters. Example, Edgar Wright.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Tony went in.

 

[Melon Husk]

A decently done trailer for The Road Warrior, Fury Road style. For those who haven't seen it, maybe give it a look.

I was not quick. CRAAAP!!

 

[ogbg]

Interesting hearing Tom Hardy say he was channeling Wile E Coyote and Indiana Jones. Sounds like he was playing the character for laughs a little bit. Not that that sounds bad but I could see it pissing off some fans of the series.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Is it necessary to see the old ones before this?

 

[Messofanego]

Is it necessary to see the old ones before this?

Nope.

 

[zulfate]

Is it necessary to see the old ones before this?

Part 2 and 3 are great movies especially road warrior. No you don't have to see them but it is recommended because they are good movies and you should watch them or else the road devils are comin for you!!!!

Should we maybe have a write up in the OP? It seems like every other post is the same question. I don't mean to offend anyone and I am not sure if this is normal in OTs.

 

[void666]

Is it necessary to see the old ones before this?

The answer to this should be in the title.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Should we maybe have a write up in the OP?

From the OP:

For Fury Road you DO NOT need to have watched the old Mad Max films to get the full enjoyment out of the movie.

The OP is fine. People just don't read.

Which is funny considering a forum is 95% words.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

I'm kind of in love with Riley Keough. She should keep the red hair. I didn't like her at all in magic mike but damn every time I see her in the trailer I'm like goddamn she fine.

 

[DAVIDHUXLEY]

There are not even 100 people in line here in Austin . Rain might have kept some folks away.

 

[Frankenstrat]

So hyped for this movie. Loving the quality action films that have been coming out lately.

Hahaha I am hypocrite, I read the op but I already forgot

ATX theater packed quick . Turns out the screening is 3d. Oh well, hope It is not too distracting.

Let us know if it's well implemented, debating buying tickets for 3D vs digital.

About to rewatch The Road Warrior in preparation for this weekend. Shit's about to pop off.

 

[Krev]

Saw the vehicles on display outside the Sydney Opera House.

Wow. Completely deranged art direction, in the best possible way.

 

[zulfate]

No pictures?

Out of curiosity, which ones are you referring to?

 

[Krev]

There's a dead baby (?) on the Doof Wagon!

 

[More_Badass]

Out of curiosity, which ones are you referring to?

Likely John Wick, Kingsman, Edge of Tomorrow, The Raid movies, and Dredd

Thanks! Must have been fun seeing how massive and cool they look while the sun is setting, I am jelous. Nice find with the dead baby thing haha
