Mad Max Fury Road

>What went wrong: Mel Gibson passing on the role and Tom Hardy taking over
>What went right: Everything else

If you can find the original treatment Miller did when it was still going to star Mel you'll find it's the exact same movie with one difference: Max was going to go up with the wives at the end instead of walking away as per usual. This was because it was supposed to be Max's last movie and that's why he's going crazy - he was getting old. Unfortunately with Hardy's casting that point is lost and it's kinda a different character.

It's a shame too because this could have been a great redemption movie for old mad Mel but we got what we got and I think it's really good. Other than the CG on the last car crash at the end, that really felt inexplicable other than to have one 3D effect at the end to justify an expensive ticket purchase

Lol. That whole thing where MRAs were supposed to be boycotting the film came from a single article on Return of Kings (a riddiculous PUA site which reads more like a parody of Mens Rights shit than anything else.) Really terrible article too, the guy admitted that the only Mad Max movie he'd seen was Thunderdome but that in the trailer (the movie wasn't even out yet) Max took orders from a woman and that somehow made it part of Hollywood's feminist agenda or some shit. Even though the whole plot of Thunderdome is about Max taking orders from Aunty Entity but whatever.

It also featured an image of Mel Gibson photo-shopped next to the main character of Fallout 1 for no particular reason.

Anyway shitty progressive blogs made a big deal out of nothing and made it seem like there was some big organised movement to boycott Mad Max despite it being one guy on one joke of a site. In the process generating tons of clickbait articles generating tons of clicks and generating a fair amount of traffic to Return of Kings too. The whole thing was just a wash in order to generate ad revenue, as it always is these days.

Oddly enough that wasn't CG really. They actually filmed the steering wheel, the guitar and other shit flying into the camera with bungee type chords, then they spliced it with the very real crash footage. The o my thing fully digital in that shot is the actual canyon, you can see the stunt on YouTube how they flipped the actual truck but they did it on an open area, not an actual enclosed rock space

I AM AWAITED IN VALHALLA!!

Confirmed for not having watched the movie you fucking pleb. Get off the board and back to /r9k/ with you.
The movie is about both sides not achieving anything on their own unless they start working together. But who am I kidding here. You piece of brainletshit will copy any bullshit here that fits your narrative, without ever checking the source material. To put it in your words, it's not the imaginary omnipresent trannies which ruin this board, it's sheeps like you.

This. It seemed like a great film the first time around but on rewatch these problems become very apparent. Then again I don't particularly care for any of the Mad Max films, I prefer A Boy and His Dog

You can tell all the money an time went into to the action scenes. Fury Road is a great example on how to stage action scenes, the story in it secondary. It is basically a movie every action director should watch and take notes from.

No see there is literally infinite water, Joe was just keeping it all to himself cause he was evil. Just read the comics.

I don't read comics unless they are hentai or western erotica with extremely large boobies oppai lolis

if max went up there it would've ruined the ending for me, i prefer him vanishing and continuing to wander

I think everyone besides the supporting female cast was great.
Mad max series has always had a weakness when it came to story side of things

Did you know the editorial supervisor was Millers wife, who had never edited an action movie before? His reasoning was, correctly, that it would bring a fresh view on action.

This scene might not seem like much, but after the absolute sensory overload of the first act, this felt like the perfect calm after the storm. It was incredibly powerful when I first saw it, however on subsequent viewings at home the movie doesnt nearly have the same effect.

The film has feminist themes but most retards on here miss them and instead bring up muh furiosa has a better shot than max.

Yeah, Furiosa having a better shot or talking more or whatever is not where the feminism is. The feminism is in showing all the males except Max as complete brutes and being blamed for "killing the world", when it's men who build everything in the world in the first place. It's basically portraying men as monstrous as they appear in feminist dogma.

And the three main socieites represent different elements of the patriarchy, which in the end the women overthrow and establish a utopia.

Charlize Theron is hot and is great in action movies.

>middle school kids should start writing more Hollywood scripts

She was pretty dull in this though. Cringeworthy even. Like super unconvincing. Pretty bad actually.

The best action movie of at least this decade and nothing even comes close.
Just pure action without a shitton of jumpcuts with a great setting that is memorable.

The feminism shit was not even the biggest problem with the film, the main problem was that it was dumb garbage made to appease the lowest common denominator. It was a soulless blockbuster made simply for money and only money, it is everything wrong with modern cinema.

what's feminist about this, every movie featuring a female is now called that, it's so stupid

The comics are irrelevant we are discussing a movie. Joe made a functioning civilization in a post apocalyptic world. The future is female crowd destroyed this civilization.

The same way animism came about. They are there, and they are important

Movie was hated BEFORE release because it was allegedly feminist propaganda, but it was quite the opposite. The villains were cool, female milk factories, a pregnant woman was crushed, and women were helpless in general without the help of grunting male hero.

For me, this guy could've broke the movie if he was one jot less of a rather good actor.

I'd take that over the pathetic state this board is in now, tumblr faggot.

Women are too dumb to see their own folly and Miller let the women make mistakes all over his script and film and let them be displayed to the audience without shame. It was so effective in doing this that even women who watched it saw them and felt shame, which is why no feminist today wants to regard this movie as a feminist showhorse.

>mad furiosa and a guy named max: the two hour chase scene
the movie is fucking awful and all the hype it gets around here makes no fucking sense. it's a stupid GO FROM HERE TO HERE AND BACK TO HERE plot. That's fucking it. The cunt couldn't even wait until mr badguy wasn't staring at her from his fucking tower before cranking the wheel and going off into fuckall land, but then again without that the movie wouldn't happen because it's LITERALLY just a chase scene until the credits.

They got the action scenes right. That’s all they needed to do. The dialogue could have been word-for-word taken from the plane scene and the plot could have been a remake of Pink Flamigos for all I care. The action scenes had great staging, editing, choreography, cinematography, music, and style, and that’s what matters.

well done cgi and practical effects

It's like this movie isn't very feminist at all or something. It just has women in it and the grand message is to treat them like people. Same with the war boys.
Wow so controversial

Actual Mad Max is about a cop losing his mind and trying to find it again in a post-apocalyptic world. The setting is of course important, very much so, but without Max himself it just, well, feels soulless. Regardless of whether or not you think the substance is as good as the style, Max is the heart of the movies. Take that away, and you have a somewhat decent action movie.

The movies are about Max but he never has direct involvement in what's going on. He always just gets caught up in it

> Women trashed the one good place they had (the "Green Place")

They didn’t trash it, it was clearly an environmental disaster beyond their control.

It was fun

This was true in the first movie only. By Road Warrior Max was just a vehicle for the plot.

Not in the first one, at least. And the plot is far less important than the journey of Max. A Mad Max movie where he has no agency and just goes along for the ride is lifeless. He gets caught up in what happens, but he is an active, not passive, character. In Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome, even though the events were not -about- him, he still ends up being the one to affect change and actually move it along. He gets caught up in what happens, but he's also always the one to get things actually moving, a sort of agent of chaos if you will. His presence is the catalyst for the reactions that get set off.

You're insane. Road Warrior was more about Max than any of the other movies. If you can't see that the movies are about his character arc you are completely blind.

>literally taking moral highgrounds on literal fantasy
The state of this board

Max Max > Beyond Thunderdome > Road Warrior > Fury Road

Why not give me any examples that support your claim?

You make a great point. So let me ask you how would you have had Fury Road play out instead? Max just driving thru the wastes and decide to heroically involve himself in the grand car chase to valiantly save the girls? That's even worse. I would argue that outside of his entrance into the situation Max had more agency in FR than you give it credit.

>So let me ask you how would you have had Fury Road play out instead?
Honestly? Scrap most of the plot and do something completely different. Get rid of Furiosa. Make the women a very minor plotpoint that just serve to flesh out the War Boys dynamic. I can't tell you what the story would be, save that rescuing the women is merely a tertiary element that makes it's appearance at the end.
