SomewhatGroovy: It is generally considered poor manners to continue to harp on not liking a film that nearly everyone else greatly enjoyed.
Not that your opinion is any less valid than theirs, but it sort of interferes with discussion. Now, if we were discussing Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 (I haven't seen this film), I might be the only person who liked it, which would make me extremely obnoxious in a thread full of haters.

The "mens rights activists calling for boycott" story is picking up steam, too. CNN, Hollywood Reporter, Cosmo, Guardian, Christian Science Monitor and others have all done writeups on it today.

I said it in the spoiler thread, but I await a gif from the film that is (very, very light spoiler)
Max drinking from the hose.

I'm really hoping this gets more people to go. The showing at my theater was pretty empty.

Max is just caught up in the mess. He wants no part of it, but is pulled into it. Much like with Road Warrior. He isn't the main driving force of the narrative, and that is fine.

Hell, that could be a screencap from the movie with a little cleanup.
Saw this last night and really enjoyed it. I went in blind and I'm happy I did.
The theater I went to was packed. We even had a few people cosplay. Everyone was quiet and I didn't see any cell phones the whole time. Basically the people who went to see it were really into it, which made the experience better.
This movie is weird. I have seen all the original Mad Max's but I'd forgotten just how out there they were. After the first ~20 min I got used to it and became immersed.
The plot was somewhat straight forward but I don't see that as an issue. Complexity isn't a requirement for the plot to be enjoyable. The character development is certainly there, if people say it isn't they aren't paying enough attention.
The detail in this movie is what really got me though. There was just so much variety in the weapons, outfits, set pieces and cars. You can tell they really put in effort in creating this world. Not one thing seemed "out of place". Even the sound track meshed extremely well with what was happening on screen moment by moment.
As a side note, this is one of the few movies where I had to actually hold myself back from talking. After some particularly intense scenes I really felt the urge to turn to my friend and say "Woah, that was fun".
I can see how people wouldn't like this movie. It is a bit "out there" and cheesy in some parts, but I loved it and will be seeing it again.

Please don't cherrypick posters. There are several out there, and a few of them ONLY show Max.
Shit, our Alamo has a HUGE wall with this spread:
Maybe the movie's real star is Nicholas Hoult, going by this poster.
Max has ALWAYS been the "more normal" guy in the series. He's our gateway into this insane world.

What? This was never on my radar?! I'm gonna try onvincing my friends to go tomorrow now!
Don't see how that's a problem tbh.

Not really.
quick scene with some very large breeding women being breast pumped and another scene with a naked woman but her hair and camera angles pretty much over everything up
As others have said, with some light editing, this could have easily been a PG-13 film. I imagine it can be ported over to cable TV in the future with little issue.

I guess that David Edwards from The Mirror who gave the first rotten review isn't happy with all the praise, so he decided to write another negative review!

2nd viewing since preview screening was in 3d (not preference ). It holds up . Every action has weight and consequence.

At least he explained himself more. That's appreciated. That's an actual review as opposed to the first thing he wrote.
That is fucking sad.

So I usually hate 3D unless its Avatar or Garvity...
Should I see this in 3D?

I liked it. A few shots worked great in 3D and even though it was post-converted Miller had 3D in mind when making the film.
Didn't add anything in my opinion. With the exception of
the guitar flying into your face

I don't think it is. Though, I hate 3D with a passion so maybe I'm not the right person to answer. I hate the dull overall look it generally tends to give films plus the doubling of the image that doesn't always completely go away. And from my memory, other than a few scenes here and there, the 3D tricks in this film don't really stand out all that much.

Yes! Superhuman's cover of Street Spirit was released on YouTube:

It's the second track from the Main Trailer.

I'm not so sure Miller had 3D in mind when shooting. Initially that was the plan when they were going to shoot on their own custom 3D cameras, but that was scrapped. In this interview with cinematographer John Seale he makes it sound like they swung hard away from 3D to 2D:

It's the Daily Mirror, it's definitely for hits.

You don't like it Daily Mirror guy, others do. Its fine, dont cry.

Right but a lot of the storyboards and initial stunt planning in Broken Hill in 2010 was all designed with 3D filming in mind. It wasn't until the move to Namibia that they had to scrap the whole idea.

But he does at least explain why he didn't like it. That was a rather short review as well.

3D is actually pretty sublime and non-intrusive, except when it isn't when stuff blows in your face. I'd recommend watching it in 3D, and this is coming from someone who hates 3D shows and owns one of those anti 3D goggles.
