Slight correction to one of your criticisms Most if not all of the car crashes were actually physical effects. They wrecked a shit ton of steel for this movie
I think his criticisms are the CGI they put on top of the physical effects. There is a surprising amount of CGI in this movie, but it's layered in and I think that is why most people don't notice it
Most of the car wrecks used a method involving an industrial piston attached to the underside of the vehicle, which when rapidly deployed would have enough force to launch the vehicle up and over. Some of the smaller vehicles used a similar method but with the piston embedded in the ground, which would deploy when the vehicle drove over it.
I thought the CG looked good for the most part but that blue filter for that night scene with Furiosa using Max as a bipod was so immersion breaking. It looks like they just entered a rave.
"Well since that's what it said on promo website then the FX must be practical." There's also, you know, the several hours of stunt footage you can watch on youtube if you bothered doing more than 1 second of research.
The Doof Warrior is the best thing about this movie. It actually would've have been great if they had had Mel for this. Tweak the story a bit, change some origins, increase the amount of time that should have passed, and you could have turned Immortan Joe, Gas Town and the Bullet Farm into the result of the events of Barter Town, leaving Max to face the horrific consequences of a job unfinished.
I am a Mad Max purist and I was pretty upset that they had to destroy The Last V8 twice in one movie. However I did read an article where the director says that Mad Max is more of a "legendary" character and that these stories are more folk lore than portrayal of actual events and this is one of the few times I can actually accept that type of rationalization for plot holes.
Yep same here, I guess if you want to timeline it, it feels like Fury Road could be between 2 and 3 but I like thinking 1 sets up the story and the next 3 are just stories of Max's travels after.
Just like to point out that Australia has what amounts to a giant underground sea called the Great Artesian Basin. Considering that Mad Max is really an Australian film regardless of what country it was filmed in, one would imagine that is where the water comes from.
@@hariman7727 like they mention the underground spring. and there;s you know, grass and trees and shit on top of the citadel. joe isn's a waster of water, he;s a massive douche who needs to be worshipped like a God. He's witholding water to make them dependent on him
@@EfftupSmith You generally need a big mass of water or icemelt uphill at some point for a self-pressurized spring to form. If it's being pumped from the Underground sea/aquifer it's still gonna need pumps which take work and materials to maintain. Also this movie proves Mad Max's universe is not just post apocalyptic but post 50s B-movie Alien invasion flick because the fucking OCEANS ARE GONE. Water doesn't just fucking up and vanish even if you vaporize it it's going to come back down, so obviously fucking aliens stole the goddamn oceans.
I don't try to psychoanalyze a roller coaster, I just enjoy the thrill. This movie is meant for a theater experience, not home video. In the theater, it was mind blowingly awesome. On my TV, not so much. It's a bunch of action sequences strung together with a barely tangible story with some deeper stuff hidden in the background. I'm fine with it. Seeing it in the theater was awesome.
Naah, I still think this is steeped in feminist cuntfalppery designed to slippery the slope even more so for the next batch of "Mad Max films". So in all probability, I'm ready to witness the pathetic death of a grizzled 80s hero. Mad Max 2 shall continue to be where Mad Max ended.
There's a defense for Max's diminished role in Fury Road that always makes me roll my eyes. People always bring up "well, it's always been Max wandering into someone else's story! Guess YOU'RE not the true fan after all huh?!" That's true...for 2 and 3. And even in those films, it's told almost entirely from Max's viewpoint. It's not his story, per se, but he IS the main character, in the same way The Man with No Name is the protagonist of the Dollars Trilogy. And in those two movies, Max isn't the narrator. He's this almost mythic figure that the narrator is reminiscing about. The fact that HE is the narrator in Fury Road is the final confirmation that Furiosa has taken his place as the focal protagonist. And I'm saying this all as someone who really enjoyed Fury Road, even if I did internally groan at a few of the more hamfisted moments. But I despise it when people try to defend it with disingenuous arguments.
Haleophant Green Max is the protagonist, he's the one who gets the most screen time in all of the 3 movies and the only motherfucker in the story that matters. Nobody can deny that fact. A question that can settle this debate:Would you rather see a whole movie with max or a whole movie with any secondary character like furiosa. Damn right, everybody knows Max will always be the main point of any Road Warrior movie.
I'm Aussie, Mad Max was the first Australian film i watched and enjoyed with my dad. i cant watch a film that has Max as the title character but he isn't the main character. To me it would be like watching a James Bond film told from one of his bitches he gets in his bed. But thank you for your honest opinion. I am just watching this video for Razor's commentary, i wont watch this film, it is a matter of Aussie principle :p
That's the thing though; it's from his P.O.V. as a narrator and spectator, rather than as subject. It's jarring, and and understandable disappointment for some people who wanted a more Max-centric story.
My man, he's a living bumper-ornament for the first fourth or fifth of the film. Its not exactly a Max-centric film if he's completely out of commission for a sizable enough chunk of the runtime.
I know this is satire and all but allow me to explain a few things you have issues with: 1. Hardy's Accent. It's wonky because Max had gone so long without speaking he forgot how to. Literally. That's what Miller told Hardy to act like. He speaks okay-ish English in his head the first time we see him, but the moment he opens his mouth in the movie he's monosylabic. 2. Where does the water in the Citadel come from? It's sitting on an aquifer. Unlimited water! And what he distributes to the masses are probably waste anyway. 3. The game is not canon so there's no need to tie it to Fury Road. Miller didn't create that game, WB studios did. They partially owned the rights to the franchise and did whatever the hell they wanted with it, without Miller's supervision. 4. There's a Glock because this movie is a reboot and takes place 40 years from today. Not 40 years since 1979. There's also A Hummer in this movie (Made in 1984). And Nissan Skyline R32 (1989). There's even a badge from a Tesla in the Gigahorse. Immortan Joe has a Nokia phone on his armor. 5. Miller opted out of casting Gibson because he thought that Max should be a young character, but the strange thing is that Fury Road was written for an old Max. Not a particular fan of that outcome either, but at least we got a new Mad Max movie and a potential new franchise.
@@austinboucher5286 There's an official Fury Road tie-in comic book that tells the story of a woman and her child called Glory. Max failed to save them and they're haunting him in Fury Road. That story was copied and modified for the game, hence it's not official in the game. The canon version is in the comic books released by Vertigo, check them out!
I like to think the flamethrower guitarist is Terran Gell in the far future when Google takes over (only because you said you're not excellent at guitar Razor)
Razorfist has been shitting on Fury Road this whole time not because it's a bad film, but because Gibson was snubbed the role? What a twist! I do think there's some shit going on in Hollywood though, and it ain't limited to Gibson. Bill Murray was literally killed off in the Ghostbusters reboot, far-left darling Russell Brand is going to be in a Drop Dead Fred reboot, and then there's the whole Conservative Hollywood blacklist shit where you'll never get a role unless you turn heel and tow the party line like sedated 'Republican' Robert Downey Jr. Tinsel Town is a national embarrassment second only to Silicon Valley.
If Logan came out before Fury Road you can bet your sweet ass Mel would be in this. We still love our heros, old, beat up, weary, and wore out. Just like we will be one day.
Not really feminist propaganda but not a good representation of matriarchal leadership and resource management either. The old ladies ruined their society, and Furiosa wasted the water. But as most things in Hollywood there's a tendency to lead with emotional momentum and throw practicality out with the bathwater.
GeneralTantzu Well there's always the dumpster fire of that failed tv company one can reference. That's what u get when people are so defensive of their natures they forget which aspects aren't really conducive to building a company or civilization.
to be fair, I've heard several people saying the old ladies ruined their water, but I'm not sure where they got that from. Sometimes things go bad for a variety of geological or climatological reasons, and societies die off or have to move.
One day some kid at home will CGI Mel Gibsons face over Tom Hardys and it will all be fixed. It was absolute bullshit not to have Mel Gibson in Fury Road - One drunked anti Semitic rant cost us all. Great video - keep them coming Razor
Was hoping Razorfist would mention Immortan Joe was played by the same actor as Toecutter from the original Mad Max. Aside from George Miller and Mel Gibson, Hugh Keays-Byrne has the greatest claim to the genre, especially since, without his original character, there'd be no Mad Max...
If you eliminate the second and seemingly final destruction of the Interceptor, this movie works almost perfectly as a prequel to Road Warrior, complete with population reduction to the point where the last of humanity fights for the last of the gas in Road Warrior, and then slowly begins to rebuild via Thunderdome. Basically it's something I've had to rationalize for myself in order to make Fury Road fit anywhere into the franchise.
I'm starting to think that Razorfist doesn't like Tom Hardy and Fury Road. Don't know, call me psychic if I'm right. 🤔 Edit: Okay... I was wrong, he actually likes Fury Road. Wow. Considering all the build up, I expected hate.
Looks like you didn't make it to the end of the video. He actually thinks Fury Road is in many ways a great movie, he just wishes that Mel was brought back.
Andres Arellano Just did, made an edit, I was actually shocked he did. I just wanted to make a jokey snark comment. He still clearly wasn't a fan of Hardy.
I have to disagree with you on the Mel Gibson part. It wasn't about balls. Fury Road wouldn't get financed wit Mel as the lead. The man has too many enemies in Hollywood, which was the initial reason for the scandals and not the other way around. George Miller could've gone the indie route and make a Mad Max 1 style movie with Mel, but people would say it's underwhelming compared to the old films.
Had nothing to do with Mel per se but his age and the time line of the movie. This film is only set 30 years after the oil wars. Max at this age could not be that age, Mel was far to old to play Max at only 30 years after that oil wars. There is a time difference that never got hammered out, so henceforth a sort of quasi reboot that is not a reboot but part four but not in the same time line mish mash.
Mel not being in this movie always puts a sour taste in my mouth every time I watch it. Especially since the entire premise is predicated on the apocalypse having lasted decades, and Hardy isn’t anywhere near old enough for the role.
LMFAO.... I love Fury Road. I choose to pretend that Tom Hardy is just some random that's taken Max's name. Every time he opens his mouth, it's like WTF? I love your wheel of accents. Nailed it. Are we even in Australia? Schlanger. Definitely Australia. =D
lol... or... alternatively... it's a notorious Tom Hardy trait in films? He loves his intelligible accents. Bane was the best. I thought he was doing Sean Connery. =D
"bloodbags, hoebags, or no bags"......BRUH, this is brilliantly savage commentary. Came here from your Predator 2 review. I might have to binge-watch your channel now....
Watching this made me feel like I ate a pot brownie and fell asleep listening to Big Red talking about how pregnancy is a patriarchal social construct and thus we should not protect pregnant women at the same time one of Trump's speeches about the Middle East came on... It's something I will not do again. When the show is named after the main character, you expect the main character to be... well, the main character, not the sad slightly moist Feminist dominatrix dream right before she wakes to reality and realizes she's fucking useless and incompetent to the point of endangering the life of her pregnant friend... I would've pulled the trigger during that first fight scene. That sisterhood of the traveling pants needs some competence, not selfish neuroticism. This movie kind of shows that when women take charge, they end up fucking everything, mostly for believing in nonsense and being dangerously self-absorbed. I haven't seen evidence to the contrary in the real world. It explains the character of Furiosa very well and while I can attribute some Feminist points to her, I ultimately believe she's already enough of a detriment to the group without Feminism. P.s: the franchise is called MAD MAX. Not Furiosa.
Say what you like about this film, but that flamethrower guitar kicks all kinds of ass. And I'm glad somebody else pointed out how much the "good guys" waste water in this film. That seriously annoyed the piss out of me.
I wonder if it's some socialist writer who imagines that there is in fact enough for everyone to live in luxury, but "The evil 1%" contrive the rest to live poorly just to be assholes, and wrote this plot as an allegory for that.
The problem I had with this film is that it's not a Mad Max film. It's a Furiosa film with someone named Max in it. Max's presence does not really matter because he does not make any decisions that matter to the plot. At least Max made decisions in Thunderdome. He made a lot more in the Road Warrior. Here, what does he do that's so vital to the plot that couldn't have been done by Furiosa?
Terran Gell, please continue to use "BEARS AND RABBITS!" It kills me every single time. I didn't hate this movie like E;R, hell I enjoyed it. Thing is the sped up nature of some action scenes, the slow mo and the post CGI was unecessary. Hell, it seemed to speed certain parts up just to make up for the excessive slowmo. Here's an idea, take away both and see what happens.
About the water, it is probable that it is an underground reservoir, and if it is Australia, that narrows down the options. Now taking into account the game's location being more than probably somewhere along the coast of south Australia, or more inland given they had to drive a bit before even reaching the Unknown, we can deduce the most likely place that water is coming from is the Great Artesian Basin, one of the largest basins in the world. So large in fact that you could leave that water fall on for probably generations and never even come close to a shortage.
I felt the same way. I was pissed and even considered refusing to watch this without Mel Gibson. I'm happy I did and saw it twice in theaters but again I feel it would have been far better with Mel.
I'm holding out for the Deep Fake remaster that puts Mel back in the game. Love your work, man; you arcane like Dennis Miller, you angrily like Dennis Leary, and you Detroit like Dennis Rodman. Don't beef about the last Dennis or anti-verb verb replacements -- I wanted another Dennis and I don't make enough on RUclips comments to justify thinking it through farther than Duckduckgo's first page of search results of Dennis; you were Prager or the Menace, and while I could have made either work, I felt you Detroit as well as you illuminate or infuriate, and I couldn't care less if you appreciate my descriptions just because you entertain me in 20 minute doses of glorious agreement. Godspeed, good sir. God fucking speed.
"Our babies will not be warlords" " We are not things" ugh. This sort of sums up what I didn't like about this movie (though I did really like it over all). It was so heavy handed, it was like a thirteen year old wrote the script. That's its strength and its weakness.
I love how everyone is calling George Miller a master filmmaker now for this when the only films he’s made for like 2 decades are Happy Feet and Babe The Pig :P
I think why people call it a feminist agenda in the film is because of the motivations of the Furiosa character. They don't outrightly say this in the film, but the film hints that Men are the problem with that particular universe being what it is. I don't know if that's true or not. Don't really care. It's interesting to think about. But i feel like the movie focused way too much on Furiosa and the women she rescued. Tom Hardy's version of Max wasn't as great as Mel Gibson's take. It just didn't feel like a continuation of the older Mad Max films. This movie seemed like it had less to do with Max in my opinion.
There are three types of people in Fury Road: Those in power. Those with useful skills or the ability to fight. And those who are trampled on or protected by the other two. EVERYONE is reduced to fighting to survive, and everyone can be killed. The Many Mothers? They fight. Furiosa? She fights. Max? He fights. Nux and the other Warboys? They fight. The "wives" of Immortan Joe? Even they fight in their own way at times. This isn't a perfect movie, but it's a great thrill ride and an excellent chase movie. Fuck. I just watched Last Jedi in the theater not long ago. The comparison is stark, with Fury Road being so far ahead, you have to find several mediocre steps in between to make proper comparisons.
Mad Max 2 (I think it was called The Road Warrior in the US) is one of my fave movies of all time. I guess at least Fury Road is nowhere near as bad as the vast majority of all the other reboots lately.
I don't think Mad Max is meant to make sense, none of it was, it was always a "mythical tale" of the wasteland, told through generations with revisionist recounts of the past. so in that context Mad Max: Fury Road is perfectly in line with all the rest. if you are looking for canon, if anything this Max isn't really the Mel Gibson Max, there are hints throughout the film that he could be the feral kid.
the flashbacks are not consistent, they are actually biggest clue to either Mad Max being a mythical hero without a clear canon, or to Max being a hero who doesn't recount his own past or even sense of self. it's also the way "Max" grunts and moan in this movie, something about his performance is uniquly off, even by Hardy's quiky standarts, he seems really unhinged and very "feral". there are other clues like Nux saying his blood is "raging feral", and also the music box (and other items) is the music box Max gave the feral kid in Road Warrior.
And what did Hardy do in the movie that Mel couldn't do a dozen times better? He kicked a guy... and he sat on a bendy straw in front of a green screen? Mel still kicks Stalone's ass in every new Expendables movie.
11:22 Okay now I want to see a goddamn spinoff of Fury Road that explains why the weapon tech has taken a turn for the Fallout universe where despite the nuclear holocaust, people still somehow went on to making Steyr AUG rifles and M249 machine guns.

Yeah. As much as I liked this movie, it's not really a Mad Max movie without Mel Gibson.
It honestly makes more sense for Furiosa to be younger than Max considering she seems to be born well after the apocalypse.
Watching Blood Father, it's obvious just how perfect Mel would have been for a return.
That film rocked ass!
Right. Dude was or is in great shape.

Yep same here, I guess if you want to timeline it, it feels like Fury Road could be between 2 and 3 but I like thinking 1 sets up the story and the next 3 are just stories of Max's travels after.
Fury Road is better than Force Awakens
that ain't saying much
I love Fury Road, but I'll argue TFA doesn't set the bar very high.
Christian Romero that's not saying much. Attack of the clones is better than force awakens.
Day-old dogshit is better than Force Awakens.
Now, that's just not true. My neighbors are more offended when I leave a copy of TFA on their doorstep than when I leave a flaming bag of poop.
The look that Mel Gibson had in 'Blood Father' would've been perfect for this movie.
Micah He's in such amazing shape! A Godamned Bear in that flick! I've never seen him rock such a beefy set of biceps before, either.... 💪
Where did ya come from where did ya go, where did ya come from Immortan Joe.

Not really feminist propaganda but not a good representation of matriarchal leadership and resource management either. The old ladies ruined their society, and Furiosa wasted the water.
But as most things in Hollywood there's a tendency to lead with emotional momentum and throw practicality out with the bathwater.

Can you explain the message you claim that's there. I just thought it was something he said to people to make happy with going on suicide missions.
For a reboot at least its far more competent than other reboots like star wars
Star Wars wasn't rebooted, it's been aborted.
it is really very fking shitty that our generation will be remembered as the reboot and remake generation, no originality whatoever because "muh CGI"
"At least?" That's not setting the bar too high.
RAZOR FIST!!! WITNESS MEEEE!!!
Yes. Gibson as a broken old drifter would’ve been it
This movie was an amazing spectacle in the theaters.
You know an iteration of Rageaholic Cinema is good when you drop the very best quote from Deadwood right at the beginning. God fucking Speed, sir!
One day some kid at home will CGI Mel Gibsons face over Tom Hardys and it will all be fixed. It was absolute bullshit not to have Mel Gibson in Fury Road - One drunked anti Semitic rant cost us all. Great video - keep them coming Razor
Felt the exact same way the entire time I watched this one. This is good, it would have been amazing with grumpy old Mel in it.
Was hoping Razorfist would mention Immortan Joe was played by the same actor as Toecutter from the original Mad Max. Aside from George Miller and Mel Gibson, Hugh Keays-Byrne has the greatest claim to the genre, especially since, without his original character, there'd be no Mad Max...
I love the content you make don't ever stop!
If you eliminate the second and seemingly final destruction of the Interceptor, this movie works almost perfectly as a prequel to Road Warrior, complete with population reduction to the point where the last of humanity fights for the last of the gas in Road Warrior, and then slowly begins to rebuild via Thunderdome. Basically it's something I've had to rationalize for myself in order to make Fury Road fit anywhere into the franchise.
I'm starting to think that Razorfist doesn't like Tom Hardy and Fury Road. Don't know, call me psychic if I'm right. 🤔
Edit: Okay... I was wrong, he actually likes Fury Road. Wow. Considering all the build up, I expected hate.
Looks like you didn't make it to the end of the video. He actually thinks Fury Road is in many ways a great movie, he just wishes that Mel was brought back.
Andres Arellano Just did, made an edit, I was actually shocked he did. I just wanted to make a jokey snark comment.
He still clearly wasn't a fan of Hardy.
Yup, the review sounded like he HATES the movie, but is more like "I love the movie, but hate the fact Mel isnt playing Max"
I have to disagree with you on the Mel Gibson part. It wasn't about balls. Fury Road wouldn't get financed wit Mel as the lead. The man has too many enemies in Hollywood, which was the initial reason for the scandals and not the other way around. George Miller could've gone the indie route and make a Mad Max 1 style movie with Mel, but people would say it's underwhelming compared to the old films.
Enemies....JEWS....oy-vey!
Had nothing to do with Mel per se but his age and the time line of the movie. This film is only set 30 years after the oil wars. Max at this age could not be that age, Mel was far to old to play Max at only 30 years after that oil wars. There is a time difference that never got hammered out, so henceforth a sort of quasi reboot that is not a reboot but part four but not in the same time line mish mash.
@@kuribo1 that could’ve easily been rewritten. Hollywood doesn’t like Mel.
Mel not being in this movie always puts a sour taste in my mouth every time I watch it. Especially since the entire premise is predicated on the apocalypse having lasted decades, and Hardy isn’t anywhere near old enough for the role.
LMFAO.... I love Fury Road. I choose to pretend that Tom Hardy is just some random that's taken Max's name. Every time he opens his mouth, it's like WTF?
I love your wheel of accents. Nailed it.
Are we even in Australia?
Schlanger.
Definitely Australia. =D
The excuse is apparently that Max has spent so much time alone, he needs to get used to speaking again.
lol... or... alternatively... it's a notorious Tom Hardy trait in films?
He loves his intelligible accents. Bane was the best. I thought he was doing Sean Connery. =D
Dude, Waterworld isn't bad. One of the most underrated movies of all time, imo.
You should make a review of it, it would be...entertaining :)
"bloodbags, hoebags, or no bags"......BRUH, this is brilliantly savage commentary. Came here from your Predator 2 review. I might have to binge-watch your channel now....
Omg the wheel of accents killed me.
The Onision reference almost made me spit iced tea on my screen.
HDNW.
I lost it at “shitfaced german dracula”
Fury road proved that the women mismanaged the green area and that they wasted water.
🤷
My favourite time of year. Razorfist cinema .
Watching this made me feel like I ate a pot brownie and fell asleep listening to Big Red talking about how pregnancy is a patriarchal social construct and thus we should not protect pregnant women at the same time one of Trump's speeches about the Middle East came on... It's something I will not do again. When the show is named after the main character, you expect the main character to be... well, the main character, not the sad slightly moist Feminist dominatrix dream right before she wakes to reality and realizes she's fucking useless and incompetent to the point of endangering the life of her pregnant friend... I would've pulled the trigger during that first fight scene. That sisterhood of the traveling pants needs some competence, not selfish neuroticism. This movie kind of shows that when women take charge, they end up fucking everything, mostly for believing in nonsense and being dangerously self-absorbed. I haven't seen evidence to the contrary in the real world. It explains the character of Furiosa very well and while I can attribute some Feminist points to her, I ultimately believe she's already enough of a detriment to the group without Feminism. P.s: the franchise is called MAD MAX. Not Furiosa.
Another amazing analysis.
The part with the MAGA billboard;
"YOU BLEW IT UP! YOU MANIACS!!!!!!!"
i liked the movie much better when i just imagined all of them as orks
6:23 Harrison Ford's face...
Say what you like about this film, but that flamethrower guitar kicks all kinds of ass.
And I'm glad somebody else pointed out how much the "good guys" waste water in this film. That seriously annoyed the piss out of me.
I wonder if it's some socialist writer who imagines that there is in fact enough for everyone to live in luxury, but "The evil 1%" contrive the rest to live poorly just to be assholes, and wrote this plot as an allegory for that.
If Hugh Jackman can play an old Wolverine, Gibson can play an old Mad Max. Hell, Jackman would have been a better choice. he's actually Australian.
That would have been more interesting
"consensual fuckn fuckn" LOL
The water probably comes from the Great Artisan Basin, that thing runs though about a third of the country
The problem I had with this film is that it's not a Mad Max film. It's a Furiosa film with someone named Max in it. Max's presence does not really matter because he does not make any decisions that matter to the plot. At least Max made decisions in Thunderdome. He made a lot more in the Road Warrior. Here, what does he do that's so vital to the plot that couldn't have been done by Furiosa?
That Mel Gibson phone call bit😂
Dat Onision insult though.
The soundtrack is DOPE.
The flame thrower flames was added in post production. It’s CGI.
6:35: Too much beard to be Ben Shapiro. More like Peter Dinklage on helium.
A gang of pissed off,mutating Cailous roaming with quote from a motivation poster that say about the Flint Drinking Water
Terran Gell, please continue to use "BEARS AND RABBITS!" It kills me every single time.
I didn't hate this movie like E;R, hell I enjoyed it. Thing is the sped up nature of some action scenes, the slow mo and the post CGI was unecessary. Hell, it seemed to speed certain parts up just to make up for the excessive slowmo. Here's an idea, take away both and see what happens.
The flamethrower guitarist will always be Devin Townsend to me
Val venis!!! Fuck yes!
This movie looks amazing in black and white!!
17:22 made me chuckle.
About the water, it is probable that it is an underground reservoir, and if it is Australia, that narrows down the options. Now taking into account the game's location being more than probably somewhere along the coast of south Australia, or more inland given they had to drive a bit before even reaching the Unknown, we can deduce the most likely place that water is coming from is the Great Artesian Basin, one of the largest basins in the world. So large in fact that you could leave that water fall on for probably generations and never even come close to a shortage.
This film suffered from a serious case of penis envy.
I'm not speaking of Spuriosa. I'm talking about Gary Miller.
Based
this film bored me to sleep within the first 30 minutes
I felt the same way. I was pissed and even considered refusing to watch this without Mel Gibson. I'm happy I did and saw it twice in theaters but again I feel it would have been far better with Mel.
12:27 Did I stroke out? Did Razor stroke out? Someone has stroken out!
3 big complaints I have:
1) The pacing felt off
2) Many characters weren't developed enough
3) It should've been Mel Gibson, not Tom Hardy.
I'm holding out for the Deep Fake remaster that puts Mel back in the game. Love your work, man; you arcane like Dennis Miller, you angrily like Dennis Leary, and you Detroit like Dennis Rodman. Don't beef about the last Dennis or anti-verb verb replacements -- I wanted another Dennis and I don't make enough on RUclips comments to justify thinking it through farther than Duckduckgo's first page of search results of Dennis; you were Prager or the Menace, and while I could have made either work, I felt you Detroit as well as you illuminate or infuriate, and I couldn't care less if you appreciate my descriptions just because you entertain me in 20 minute doses of glorious agreement. Godspeed, good sir. God fucking speed.
"Our babies will not be warlords" " We are not things" ugh. This sort of sums up what I didn't like about this movie (though I did really like it over all). It was so heavy handed, it was like a thirteen year old wrote the script. That's its strength and its weakness.
I love how everyone is calling George Miller a master filmmaker now for this when the only films he’s made for like 2 decades are Happy Feet and Babe The Pig :P
We need the Mel Gibson version of Fury Road. Maybe there's a parallel universe where that exists 🤔
I think why people call it a feminist agenda in the film is because of the motivations of the Furiosa character. They don't outrightly say this in the film, but the film hints that Men are the problem with that particular universe being what it is. I don't know if that's true or not. Don't really care. It's interesting to think about. But i feel like the movie focused way too much on Furiosa and the women she rescued. Tom Hardy's version of Max wasn't as great as Mel Gibson's take. It just didn't feel like a continuation of the older Mad Max films. This movie seemed like it had less to do with Max in my opinion.
That was a very articulate outburst.
Why? Why did you have to make me aware of the perfection that would have been Mel in this film as a crazy Max? Why do you hurt me?
There are three types of people in Fury Road: Those in power. Those with useful skills or the ability to fight. And those who are trampled on or protected by the other two.
EVERYONE is reduced to fighting to survive, and everyone can be killed. The Many Mothers? They fight. Furiosa? She fights. Max? He fights. Nux and the other Warboys? They fight. The "wives" of Immortan Joe? Even they fight in their own way at times.
This isn't a perfect movie, but it's a great thrill ride and an excellent chase movie.
Fuck. I just watched Last Jedi in the theater not long ago. The comparison is stark, with Fury Road being so far ahead, you have to find several mediocre steps in between to make proper comparisons.
Mad Max 2 (I think it was called The Road Warrior in the US) is one of my fave movies of all time. I guess at least Fury Road is nowhere near as bad as the vast majority of all the other reboots lately.
(6:26) Nickki knows what's up.
Waterworld is awesome. Mad Max on Sea FTW!!! I agree that it shoulda been Mel in there though.
Rambo Month.
Fuck it, why not ?
Philip Bourne - i second this motion...Rambo month is an absolute must!!
Fury Road should not be considered a Mad Max movie it completely destroyed the Max character
long time max fan... you've made me a believer Styx. I miss mel gibson now.
I don't think Mad Max is meant to make sense, none of it was, it was always a "mythical tale" of the wasteland, told through generations with revisionist recounts of the past. so in that context Mad Max: Fury Road is perfectly in line with all the rest.
if you are looking for canon, if anything this Max isn't really the Mel Gibson Max, there are hints throughout the film that he could be the feral kid.
the flashbacks are not consistent, they are actually biggest clue to either Mad Max being a mythical hero without a clear canon, or to Max being a hero who doesn't recount his own past or even sense of self.
it's also the way "Max" grunts and moan in this movie, something about his performance is uniquly off, even by Hardy's quiky standarts, he seems really unhinged and very "feral".
there are other clues like Nux saying his blood is "raging feral", and also the music box (and other items) is the music box Max gave the feral kid in Road Warrior.
The feminism is obvious and extreme in fury road
Miller says Gibson was too old yet he cast the same guy that played Toe Cutter to play Immorten Joe and that guy aged worse then heavy cream.
And what did Hardy do in the movie that Mel couldn't do a dozen times better?
He kicked a guy... and he sat on a bendy straw in front of a green screen? Mel still kicks Stalone's ass in every new Expendables movie.
Great finale to this review series. I with you 100% on it.
Wasn't there a line where they say Immortan Joe pumps the water from deep within the earth?
All those epic jumps, then the cat lol I lost it! 4:17
This movie rocks. I love this action film. I love everything about it.
I love this movie.
Farewell mad max! month! we will remember you has we do your predecesors!
11:22 Okay now I want to see a goddamn spinoff of Fury Road that explains why the weapon tech has taken a turn for the Fallout universe where despite the nuclear holocaust, people still somehow went on to making Steyr AUG rifles and M249 machine guns.
I wish we could have seen this movie with old, bearded, crazy old Mel playing Max. Can't we just CGI him in for some blu-ray re-release?
Man what kind of mad max fan doesnt know that the series doesnt have a canon. Its made of stories told as legends in that universe.
Love the mini-stab at Onision xD
