For those who have seen the movie, who is the person in the chair that spots the Wild Rig on its way to Gas City? What is that character's name?

The Dark Knight critical acclaim is what he's talking about.

Not in terms of plot or anything, but TDK was an action movie that was received a lot of acclaim out of nowhere. I remember posting on another forum and seeing everyone so excited to see the movie because of its positive reception.

If that's the criteria, then it feels more like a Casino Royale situation to me

I just remember some people saying TDK was "If HEAT were a superhero movie" and getting a decent laugh from that.
I loved TDK, but come on mayne!

Here is the only "backlash" I can think of:
-Not enough focus on Max
-Some thin characters--slight spoilers:
-ADR can be distracting
-Hardy can occasionally be unintelligible
-Dialogue has some rough spots
-Tone can vary/is "weird"
-Not enough focus on Max
-Some thin characters--slight spoilers:
(each of the wives doesn't get a TON of time, and some of the "bosses" are pretty thin)

I honestly don't know what it feels like. Neither Bond nor Batman fell off the face of the map like Mad Max did, and neither were stuck in development as long. This is a totally different beast in my eyes.

Yeah I'm definitely more hyped for this movie. Some people to skip the third one? Should I just read a plot summary of it?

You can go into Fury Road not having watched any of the previous films, and be totally fine.

Does anybody know what the 3D is meant to be like on this?

Maybe not comparable development wise, but considering the backlash of Die Another Day and the fact that it was a reboot, Casino Royale really came out of nowhere and shocked people.

Watch Road Warrior (the second one). You don't have to watch any but that one you should just watch anyway.

Thunderdome is worth watching for:
-crazy set/costume designs
-awesome apocalyptic world building
-Gibson working that dark charm
-Tina Turner chewing the scenery
Jesus, some people make Beyond Thunderdome out to be like Godfather III bad. It's not.

It's ok. Wasn't shot for 3D. Subtle, but 2D would do just fine.
At first I thought it was that dude from Twin Peaks and then I came to my senses, lol.

Yeah. I always list it last, but it's still a must-see IMO. I think I've seen it at least three times now.

People make Godfather III out to be worse than it is.
I wouldn't say it got it out of nowhere. BB was very well received just a few years prior.

My advice? In regards to action, see AoU first before you're jaded by Fury Road.
Catch AoU on Blu-Ray. Watch Mad Max.

At the end of the day, Casino Royale ended with a 95% RT with an average rating of 7.8/10 (222 reviews), while The Dark Knight has a 94% RT with an average rating of 8.6/10 (315 reviews).
So far Mad Max Fury Road is at 99% RT with an average rating of 9/10, with 75 reviews, so it's definitely closer to TDK than Casino Royale. The average rating is much more important.

Stoked to see this tomorrow but everywhere in my city is showing it early in 3D only so I'm kinda bummed. Was hoping for 2D!
Insane Metal

Huh, didn't know those movies rated so high. I like them, but I don't think they're anything special.
Not even the same category, but I get what you're going for. AoU was solid.

Works as a standalone film.

Works just fine standalone.

Honestly I only watch 100% movies.
Time to step it up, Fury Road.

I don't think any of the reviews cited are even mentioning Avengers as a point of comparison. Honestly, it seems like it's not even occurring to them.

unless avengers was mentioned, then no.

So excited. Completely blown away by the praise.
I think I asked this earlier, but would this be a good date movie? I am just worried it'll be too violent/crazy.

I know I'm probably going with a female friend tomorrow because she thinks it looks great, but I couldn't remotely convince my other female friend to go. Just depends.
Not saying they are comparing them in articles but you can't deny an impact of seeing what should've been AMAZING and kind of flopping in a sense and then seeing this great flick.

She is into movies and I told her this was a crazy action one and she said she'd go. I think it'll be fine.
