These are already victories, really. I don't know if it should win Best Picture awards--I haven't seen enough yet this year--but it should absolutely be considered, and it is.

That's fantastic. It deserves the nominations at least.

Shiiiieet.
Yep, exactly how I feel.
Amazing. Really cool to see the critics giving Miller and the movie the recognition they deserve.
At the same time, Warner Bros has apparently had a terrible year (3 nominations, it seems 2 of 3 Mad Max), so they best get on promoting Fury Road like their jobs depend on it... or green light that sequel
LTTP on this one. I loved it. Balls to the wall action. No pretense to have fluff story where there shouldn't be, but with the strength of the acting made that point moot. The story was good enough for this movie.
And the action... Nothing to saw that I had my jaw on the floor the entire time. Movie of the year for me so far. TFA will have to be great to beat this.

Yeah, seeing this in the theater's giant screen was definitely something else.

Tried to get my family to watch it, they just gave up after about 40 minutes.

No Valhalla for them!
Mediocre!
Finally saw this yesterday. Love the rides. So fucking cool. I'm really enjoying these movies that keep the plot simple so they can focus on the action and style like Dredd, Raid and John Wick. Of course, Fury Road blows those movies away in the style department.
Watched the extras and apparently Furiosa has beef with

'Mad Max: Fury Road': driven to the edge (Screen Daily)
Great article on development and production of MMFR. This might be of interest:

Please please pleeeeaaassee
Dammit Miller/WB, that black and white/silent version is just sitting there screaming 'WITNESS ME!' and we're dying to do so. Get on it!
I pondered the same things. Came to the same conclusion haha. I just like the recognition the movie is getting.

Man, I don't know how I feel about seeing it in B&W and on the big screen no less. I mean it would of been a cool bonus on the blu-ray....The upside of course would be Fury Road on the big screen! lol
Mad Max also received 13 nominations for the Critics Choice Awards that also included Charlize Theron for Best Actress:

Yeah, a Miller-approved contrast-corrected B&W version with proper audio mixing? Good Lord.
Also, I'm feeling like it's really safe to say this film is going to get nominations for Picture, Director, Editing, and Cinematography. Theron is a dark horse for Actress.
This is fucking crazy to me. To actually be confident in saying the above.
A Mad Max movie is probably going to get around (or north of) 10 Oscar nominations.
I guess BnW is known for accenting all of the details. It would be interesting for sure.

I wouldn't ask just for the B&W version in lieu of the color version, but I find it an interesting and worthy companion.
Agreed.
Yellow and Red please.
Was the audio mixing flawed?
No, he had a totally different audio mix for the B&W version though, so it was more like/is a silent film (dialogue-wise)

It was sort of like Soderberg's B&W and silent Indiana Jones video, if you watched that awhile ago. Soderberg put a lot of very different music (Girl With the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack, if I remember right) in his version though.
Wow, interesting.

Yeah. I mean, for a fan-produced alternative, it was still really good, but
1) I got the sense he just desaturated the image, and didn't take the time to go through scene by scene and adjust the brightness/contrast/gamma levels.
2) the audio mix got weird and watery at times due to the processing he had to apply to remove dialog and some sfx from the main audio channels.
Neither of those two things would be present in the Miller version.
