Can a Mad Max film be made without Mad Max? Well going by the box office, no! But is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga that bad? George Miller ditches Max in his fifth outing to the dystopian Australian outback and sadly it disappoints. But who’s fault is that? Grab a drink so we can talk about the Non-Max Mad Max!

Nah.
If they want me to watch a mad max film again they might consider bringing Mel Gibson back.
Otherwise pass
I haven't seen it. Doesn't seem very interesting to see it in the theatres. Could be fun. Maybe I'll go watch it or I'll forget about it like so many movies nowadays that are ommitable in the cinemas.
I didn't even know it was a thing... but, I shall not be watching this
As an Aussie I will never watch this crap. (Even though we stole Mel from NZ)!
Nah. I've been morally shamed too much for not watching it, so now i'm Never watching it.
Keep seething, Zack.
Hollywood:"And for our next trick, everyone gather around and watch as we release"Pirates of the Caribbean" with no Jack Sparrow
That would garner the same backlash the rebooted Mad Max movies got, but 50x worse
does it have cock peach tree?
@@CrispyHulk1 It's actually happening my guy
First up is John Wick with no John Wick.
Another pleb who doesn’t understand what a ‘spin off’ means.
The problem with Prequels is low stakes and no revelations. We know everything that happens because we know Furiosa and Immortan Joe are in Fury Road.
The more I think about it, The more I come to understand that this is the biggest problem with most shows these days. It never feels like there's anything at stake, or the stakes are too vague. Or worse, we don't trust the writers to make any of the hardships permanent. Consequently there's never any tension.
@@sauros1 How many movies have you seen where even DEATH is just a minor inconvenience?
Capt. Kirk dies and is resurrected a few minutes later via magical Khan blood in Star Trek Into Darkness. Yes, they CURED DEATH in the Star Trek reboot movies, but only use it that one time and then forget all about it.
Optimus Prime dies and is resurrected within the same crappy Michael Bay Transformers movie. We had to wait six months for Optimus's resurrection in the 80s (not counting when he came back as an undead zombie, which was two months after he died in the movie).
@@KasumiKenshirouI agree with your overall point, but Star Trek is a bad example. Multiple times when people should've died, they can just "reload last save" with the transporter, swap bodies, get a time displaced duplicate replacement, etc. They did that all the time before the Kelvin movies.
I also think Transformers is a bad example because they're robots.
The movie was great. All that its failure proves is that movie studios would be fools to listen to “fans”.
But honestly, what was the last anime or game related franchise that made a movie of equal caliber….Nerds will point out the Mario movie or the sonic movie… movies made for toddlers?
Fury Road was more a Furiosa film than a Mad Max one.
It was amazing!
@@brunoheggli2888
Eh. Idk about amazing. It was alright. Serviceable but amazing?
Correct.
The movie's poster makes that obvious without having to watch a Thunderson-esque woke sequel.
@@HouseDracul you should get a firmer grasp on the concept of 'woke', because applying it to this movie is just flat out ignorant.
I think I’m the only person who likes the first Mad Max the most.
Perhaps we could have a “Jim Goose, a mad max saga” film.
Best story, characters and settings of the 3 classics. Tbh it's one of my favorite of all movies, I rank it up there with Star Wars and Blade Runner.
Not the only one mate, it's mine too !.
It's the most interesting setting, the world on the brink but still hanging on enough for government to maintain a basic police force.
Ironically, I read somewhere that Lord Humungus in Mad Max 2 was originally supposed to be Goose.
Also the one where his Ford XB Hardtop was in the best condition. It looked tough as nails.
A subtle aspect of the Mad Max films is that Max is more of a legendary character who has his stories told by different authors across time periods. So the reason you see contradictory aspects or characters who appear in different films with different identities is due to that. (IE: The helicopter pilot appears again in Mad Max 3 in a different role). You can also see it with how the post apocalypse goes from really toned down in the first film to "people in this world have never known anything else" in Fury Road. This is also why his car is destroyed in two different contexts in two different films. The Mad Max game from 2015 went all in on this theory with the helicopter pilot from 2 returning as a surrealistic character who asks cryptic questions like "how old are you" to the main character and he doesn't have an answer. His car is also destroyed in the game as well but is spontaneously returned to him. And he has a dog in the game but the context around it is also very different. The theory that the character is the feral child from MM2 has never made sense to me as at the start of Fury Road he says he was a police officer and he has flashbacks to his deceased wife/daughter.
In this sense he's more of a post apocalyptic Robin Hood/King Arthur as opposed to a character who experiences a linear story. The Legend of Zelda was also designed around this idea of "A legend that is continuously retold by different authors".
@cthulhucrews6602 Scabrous Scrotus the antagonist of the Mad Max 2015 video game also appears in Furiosa as well.
The game only features so many of Miller's ideas. He was actually co-creating the game for a time, but with the film going through production hell, Warner decided to take it from him & give it to Avalanche studios. Some of his ideas remained, but the game isn't fully canon. The Fury Road prequel comic (also co-created by Miller) attempts to connect the first 3 films to Fury Road, cementing it as the same Max in all 4 films. It's just that he only cares so much about continuity so the lines are somewhat blurred. Also, the flashbacks of the woman & child on Fury Road are not his family members, they're characters featured in the prequel comic. Max had a son, not a daughter, after all.
Chris Hemsworth with a prosthetic nose reminds me of the Drug Dealer in 'Bedazzled'
Ha! I could have used that 👍
i'm surprised you know who havent called it anti-semitic
Or Pooh Bear in The Salton Sea.
That was a real honker
Reminds me of Matt Damon in that one oceans movie when he tries to drink that champagne lol
7:55 - lol nice rekieta cameo
Oh you sneaky robot you!
Ha ha ha! Thank you for posting this; I somehow completely missed that!
Never watched Rekieta but since his "cope and sneed" stream I've been obsessively pouring over his Kiwi Farms thread and watching Kino Casino and MATI when they cover him. I can't get enough. It's the most entertaining downfall of an e-eceleb ever, beating out Illuminaughtii, Mama Max, Nick Fuentes, and Ethan Raloh.
@@debroofgreen Kino Casino is the Killstream lite.
Tom Hardy's Max being the grown-up Feral Kid is my favorite film theory! They really should canonize it.
The little music box that the Feral Kid played with in Road Warrior makes an appearance in Fury Road.
Don’t forget the boomerang also makes an appearance. The bit where they drag the war rig outa the mud , max heads back on foot to kick the car with the blind lad shooting at them , he grabs the boomerang from the side of the truck . It’s dark, so it’s easily missed . Plus he grunts like the kid. When asked his name also , he first of all said does it matter .
Mad Max and canon weren't getting along at all up until this movie. In fact, I think Furiosa is the first movie in the franchise to establish an actual continuity, and I don't mean it in a good or bad way, it's just an observation. There's also the Mad Max video game, which I wholeheartedly think of as part of the series, but he has a picture of his wife with a teenage daughter instead of his toddler son from the first movie.
Yeah but, the problem with that is that in the opening monologue he mentions being a cop, implying that he is the original Max.
Tom plays the same Max that Mel did. This information is out there. Miller helped develop a Fury Road prequel comic that attempts to tie the previous movies to Fury Road. Also, Mel would have originally come back had the film gone into production in 1999-2000 like initially planned. The issue is it got stuck in production hell for years & Mel personally felt he was getting close to too old for the role back in 1999. He would have played an older Max in Fury Road than Tom portrayed, but when that was no longer an option, the decision was made to ignore a bit of continuity & recast younger. George Miller only cares about continuity up to a point, but I think his storytelling focuses more on broad strokes in a lot of ways.
@LaurentiuBadea The game was originally being co-created by Miller, but things went sideways with Warner Bros multiple times with Fury Road, and eventually they decided to take the reins away from him & hand it over to Avalanche Studios. So a lot of elements from the Fury Road prequel comic (also developed with Miller) remain in the game while not 100% following the story of the films. There is still some connective tissue in the game, like Scrotus- he was a Miller creation. He even shows up in Furiosa.
I am 58 and have loved the franchise my whole life. I thoroughly enjoyed Furiosa! It was a world building journey. It makes me appreciate Fury Road all the more. But I would like to see Mel as Max - where is he now? Running Barter Town and defending against some other War Lord from the newly established wasteland.
I also really enjoyed it. While it wasn't as good as fury road, the hate I'm seeing here is a bit over the top.
@@KJOK95 Too much blind hate on the internet. It's replaced constructive criticism.
You invested more THOUGHT into the story and timeline, than the people who were actually PAID to write the script!
I liked it a lot. The movie felt like it had a soul at least, an actual vision. Maybe some of the shortcomings with the action is just the fact that the production of fury road was hell and george did not want to go through that again hence not filming everything on location. I wonder how this film would have done if the lawsuit hadnt happened with the rights and covid hadnt happened after that. If it had came out in 2017 I think it would have had a bit more impact though not much since fury road didnt do well either. I guess mass audiences just dont like the mad max universe. Chris Hemsworth stole the show in this.
Mad Max is not CGI.
Hahahaha the comparison at 7:50.... 😄
Well done, sir!
That caught me off guard lol
*She looks nothing like a younger Charlize.*
Looks like a cross between Sid the sloth and a grey 👽.
@@theelder4797 exactly
You only access 5% of your brain don’t you
@@Jack-ot1zq ooh, wow. Such a spicy comment. Fairly projective, but such a hot take… let’s hear more.
This franchise got two of the hottest actresses on the planet - stop whining
The Road Warrior is the best Mad Max movie. Though I fucking love the entire biker gang from the first movie.
The feral kid theory is kinda cool. One problem. There’s only one interceptor. Quoting the mechanic from Mad Max, “this is the last of the V8s.” Max: “how?” Mechanic: “a piece from here, a piece from there.”
i thought it was good, let George Miller cook and we get a mad max movie like this next, it's his fury road trilogy. He wants Tom Hardy back too
Yes!
Naming a good prequel used to be impossible, but the TV show Spartacus did pull it off with "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena". Required wieving, like the rest of that great show.
The Road Warrior sits alongside The Empire Strikes Back & The Godfather Part II as films that are better than anything else in their franchise. Fury Road was good, but it wasn't a mad max film, just set in the same alternative future
People vastly overestimate how popular Mad Max is, let alone a spin off of a reboot. Fury Road didn't perform that well.
People only warmed up to Fury Road after learning about all the practical effects.
So they skimped out on sequel and used more cgi.
yeah Waterworld was better than Mad Max
@@FortuitusVideoThe thing is, the whole movie (Fury Road) has such an artificial digital look to it, that you can't really tell what's "practical" and what isn't. Nothing looks real. It's like one big green screen.
Fury road didn’t perform that well? $380 million is not that well? Almost half a billion dollars?
@@mattmurphy7030 380 million was the total worldwide gross. And that was against a 155 million dollar budget. It barely made its budget back in the US. Movies have to gross three times their budget in order to be considered a bare minimum success.
"LOOK AT HER EYES!!!" The Movie 🎬
You'll never go wrong with the Roadwarrior.
Lol @ the Rekeita reference.
I completely agree, after i watched it i couldnt believe the high rating reviews it got. But the actual turnout numbers for the movie tells the real story.
Who thought a Mad Max movie without Mad Max was a good idea?
BRILLIANT and TERRIBLE IDEA!
George Miller
Everyone who said Fury Road was a feminist movie.
It could have worked when Fury Road was still new. But now it's been so long that a normal Mad Max was expected
George Miller. He directed all the mad max movies, and wrote them, and made the Furiosa movie, too.
Furiosa was supposed to have been shot back-to-back with Fury Road, until Warner Bros. got cold feet. Everything was in place, including the crew and most of the actors., script, and storyboards. Every movie in the last 20+ years is chock full of CGI, even the ones you were told are all practical effects. Furiosa has mostly background work because the shooting location had changed so much.
It's certainly BRUTAL enough, with decapitations, maggot-ridden corpses, a scene where a guy is drawn and quartered with motorbikes, even cannibalism, with Dementus feasting on human sausage. But somehow the raw danger of the Wasteland, as experienced in Max 2, isn't quite there.
It’s didin even show her lose the arm, it cut away then came back an the arm was just hanging there . Didin even show jack geting killed , dragged by the bikes and eaten by the dogs .
Because if anything is guaranteed to draw female patrons to the movie theater, it's those things you mentioned. This is supposed to be a chick flick right?
@@jakeviolet2195I'm not sure how anybody would come to that conclusion.
Well im just saying but didnt george miller shut down the idea that max is the feral kid. Also if you play the game it takes place right before it and im pretty sure he just rebuilt the interceptor in this. If you look at it like campfire tales the age thing doesnt really matter.
Fury Road prequel comic answers these burning questions & was co-created with Miller.
I enjoyed it even though it pales in comparison to Fury Road. Also, am I the only one who feels like a quarter of the movie is missing? Furiosa and Jack go from not knowing each other to being lovers in literally a few minutes and that's a major shortcoming of the film considering it's meant to give us somewhat of a character study of our main character. Anyway I'm not too familiar with the OT so thanks for filling in the blanks Robot that actually contextualizes Fury Road even more and makes me want to go watch it again.
no, you're not the only one. I don't get how other people aren't seeing this it almost doesn't make sense half the time because it's so crammed.
Lots of mixed feeling on this. I loved the series but it rubs me the wrong way that they gleefully said "Mad Max doesn’t need Max anymore". My name is also Max so it's especially eggregious to me.
Miller never said that. Nobody said that. The fact is, he planned on making this movie & another Max movie for years leading up to & following Fury Road's release. This isn't some product of woke ideology, it was a grand vision that may never be fully realized due to everyone crapping on a movie they refuse to see due to their own skewed ideological viewpoints.
@@ioncewasmikey True, but there was a journalist who wrote it. And if George Miller wanted to have his grand vision realized he should have done it with Tom Hardy.
@@Mizelei2012 that's the point- he'd planned on making Furiosa & another Max movie that would both tie into Fury Road. For whatever reason he decided to do Furiosa first, probably because Max already has 3 films of his own. But apparently Tom Hardy wasn't easy to work with during Fury Road, but I'd hope he'd come back for it too. It was his stunt double from FR that plays him in the small cameo on Furiosa, so I guess they were at least trying to make it look like the same Max.
Nah, the feral kid flew away with the refugees from Mad Max 2 and eventually became their leader, as per the VO at the end. If Fury Road Mad Max is the feral kid, he might as well be anybody, including the original Max.
Max in Fury Road also works a little better as the feral kid since the original Max's timeline doesn't sync with Furiousa's; they're about the same age but she grew up in the wasteland while Max was an adult before the collapse.
Not going to lie, this could have been great…but! 🤔
I never heard the feral kid take on fury road before! Yes now I can enjoy fury road. All in all though they'll never top The Road Warrior. Furiosa is like Thunderdome to me. I know it exists, I just choose to ignore it.
That swingers pic lol! The news has spread to all sectors on the web it seems.
People have been burnt too many times by the girl boss trope, that when it doesn’t happen, like here, it’s just tough luck!
Add to that, it’s a spin off about a side character in a prequel…not sure who exactly wanted this! Not many people by the look of the box office numbers
Simps will always need excuses to continue being simps. Keep on trucking.
Fury Road ain't a 'modern classic'
It's wingardium furio-saaa!
Not furiooooh-sa!
Fury Road didn't really feature Mad Max that much, what are you even talking about? Everyone remembers Charlize Theron and the skeleton mask fella from that one. It was a cool movie. This one is too.
The whole charm of Max from Fury Road was that Tom Hardy was able to convey so much information with so few words. So while he doesnt speak much, his presence is felt and integral to the plot. Plus one of the big accomplishments of FR was that it relied so little on CGI, which cant at all be said for Furiosa
Still a decent movie, but its like comparing Godfather ptIII to ptII, your comparing filet mignon to mcdonalds
... what? Max was the core of Fury Road.
“Where are you going ? So full of hope? There is no HOPE!” I came to watch the movie for some wasteland but stayed for Chris Hemsworth’s iconic lines
A vast but shallow vocabulary. I thought it was a well used character trait.
was so cringe
Go watch Furiosa in the theater. I'll never hear an engine revving the same way again.
Hear? I *felt* the engines!
Play the old videogame
The movie was so bad that I felt ill and left the theater about 15 minutes into the film.
@@majorgear1021 Poor guy
Surely the only origin story we all wanted from the Mad Max universe was Tina Turner’s from Beyond Thunderdome? I’d like to know how she became the wasteland’s number one entertainment professional
Oh hell yes
My biggest problem with this movie is the visuals look absolutely terrible. It's like The Hobbit vs Lord of the Rings. A significant and noticeable drop in standards and it's jarring.
THANK YOU for the HONESTY in your review. Everyone is busy kissing the movies butt as it slips below tye sand. It was AWFUL!🙄
This is a rough one. I grew up with a love for Mad Max (to me The Road Warrior) on a deep level bonding my father and I as well as the wasteland, violence and mohawks. As soon as I was old enough to not give a crap what anyone thought, I gave myself a mohawk and have gone back and forth from normal haircut to mohawk my whole life. The month after my father died I broke out the clippers and buzzed it out again. The last movie he and I went to the theaters to see together was Fury Road. And my first memories of going to the theaters as a kid with Dad was Empire Strikes Back and Beyond Thunderdome.
So now what to do? This isn't a Mad Max film. But it is in the wasteland where the ghost of Max lives. Even as a kid I knew Thunderdome was subpar to The Road Warrior but I had love for it. I mean Master Blaster was...insane!! And isn't that what a Mad Max film is about? Insanity? Blood and gasoline!!
Robot, your thought of the new Max being the feral kid, even if it breaks things a little, I really love that idea.
So torn. I don't like what they've done replacing Max with Furiosa but its still a Max film??
Fk it. It's gonna rain tomorrow anyway so I guess I'll go. Alone. But I think I'll buy two tickets. One for me and one for the maddest man I ever knew.
It was great to me aside from small details that made no sense. Just like in the end of the last movie when Furiosa finds out the green place doesn't exist anymore and it's just a small group of old ladies still surviving. How did those old ladies survive out in the middle of nowhere with no water or food? It makes no sense. In the same way, the green place never made sense to begin with. On top of that, their warriors were literally small women. It was a fantasy idea from the start. Amazonians live in the Amazon, not the desert wasteland.
Honestly, to me, Furiosa was okay as a one-off character for Fury Road, like the many others before her including, but not limited to, The Gyro Captain, Toecutter, Goose, Auntie Entity, amongst many others. But to me Furiosa didn't have enough pull to be interesting enough to warrant a stand-alone prequel for her. But that's just me.
Also, for canon welding, Miller has said that Max isn't the Feral Kid though he likes that fan theory. There was a prequel comic released with Fury Road that showed that after the events of Beyond Thunderdome, Max began to rebuild the V8 Interceptor and that he actually got into another Thunderdome fight to try to win a V-8 engine for the the car. But, Miller has also explained that the films are folk legends from within the wasteland about a man named Max, who was formerly a cop, who drove the last V8 Interceptor (and seeing Fury Road is basically similar to the final act of The Road Warrior, it could be seen as someone else telling the same story of that event, but they got details different). So, Fury Road Max is still the same Max from the first three films, and this is just another legend told by another person within the wastelands. And the V8 Interceptor we see in the film isn't the original black-on-black, but a second one.
Formerly a copy?
@@Eidolon1andOnly Fixed. Thank you.
Furiosa plays with the idea of unreliable narrators & the legendary quality of these stories. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the world Miller has created.
I love how we went from Furiosa, a woman who indicated she started as one of Immorton Joes little breeders, but found ways to claw her way into his respect, and then enforcer, just... killed a man and took his place... same as every "strong female character" these days
Who needs to acually have a cool, harsh backstory that defines who you are and will become, all you need is to just.. take someones place, claim it as yours, anf kick back and take all the well earned respect and power associated with it... no one would ever try to avenge their fav boss or nothing right? And respect isnt earned, or geanted, just taken as a byproducr if someone elses work you are taking over
Anya Taylor-Joy is 5'7", 115 pounds, and was 27 when Furiosa filmed.
Charlize Theron is 5'10", 130 pounds, and was 40 when Fury Road filmed.
This is like when they tried to pretend Emilia Clarke had the same muscle mass as Linda Hamilton. It just ain't gonna work.
Charlize was fucking 40 when it came out????.... God damn she looked amazing. Holy shit. Charlize Theron is so fucking hot. Remember Aeox Flux or whatever, FINE AS FUCK. F I N E.
I clapped, I clapped when I saw Mad Max on the screen for a couple seconds.
I paid to go see it. I enjoyed it for what it was, an action movie. Did we need another prequel? No. I knew everything that would happen to her because I saw Fury Road, but I was not bored for the 2.5 hours. I also liked learning how Furiosa lost her arm, which was way cooler than how Nick Fury lost his eye. As far as it not fitting into the Mad Max saga, it doesn't bother me. It's George Miller's story and he can do what he wants.
The only thing that bothered me was how Chis Hemsworth looked like Mike Myers as the Love Guru.
Also, did the actor playing Pretorian Jack look like Stacy Keach? I know it wasn't, but it could've been his doppelganger.
Even though this was not a smash hit, it actually was a good movie and I think it's time goes on people are going to appreciate it more.
Yeah it came out at the wrong time. Going to the movies is expensive...
I tried watching Fury Road on a free preview night and could only get twenty minutes in before I said no I just don’t care and switched to something else. I didn’t hate the movie, I just didn’t care about it.
I didn't realize just how small this Furiosa is, not exactly intimidating
Great and honest review. Its hard to watch these movies when you grew up with the originals. They should stop calling them Mad Max and just call it "Queen of the Wastelands".
I can’t believe they used to race chariots pulled by bikes!… no wonder why AC/DC came from down under? Awesome!
Can’t understand why they haven’t made a full interceptor film yet , no more tanker chases.
Producer "Yeah, that's it! Lets make a Mad Max movie with a Mad Maxine"
One of the other Hollywood carbon blobs around him " Sir, you're a genius"
It does not matter that this is not a girl boss movie, the thing is it looks like one. It is enough to drive audience away.
If Furiosa is not a girlboss, then what is she: Damsel in distress? Love interest? Ingenue? Or just some broad nobody cares about?
A girl boss is a Mary Sue that never loses, and is always right. That isn’t Furiosa.
Yes!! We've all wanted another franchise expansion with the main character a woman. Hollywood finger on the pulse again!
Furiosa is exactly what I wanted; more of the 2015 Fury Road format. George Miller depicts such distinct cinematography in Australia with Mad Max. The epic nature of the franchise is worth exploring with detailed world-building. The various factions, locations like the blue-tinted, stilt trodden remnants of the ‘Green Place’, Bullet Town and the Citadel fortress with its greenhouse, encased in that yellowish orange color palette and its intricately designed mechanical ‘steampunk’ technology. Fury Road's an action movie at heart, while Furiosa sinks its teeth into the world with storytelling (albeit still having tons of action). The studios shouldn't have delayed this by a decade. Hopefully George Miller gets another crack at it!
"Looks Nice"
I don't know why more people don't have a problem with how bad the film itself looks... the CGI Soundstage combination REALLY doesn't work with the wasteland. The action is on-rails and lacks the chaos of Fury Road's practicals, ATJ is just bizarre to look at, the plot was just kinda there, it's more expensive than Fury Road, THERE'S NO MAX, etc, etc, etc....
What a disappointment of a film!
Great vid as always though, Robot! Love the headcanon to include Fury Road with the originals too!
It's not the feral kid in fury road, it's Max Rockatansky. Miller wanted to make fury road, and furiosa during the 80s as a sequel to Thunderdome. The idea just went through 20 plus years of production hell, and George Miller always contradicts his own films and ideas. The max we get in ANY of Miller's tales is the original, but the timeline is all over the place due to incompetent story telling. Similar to Ridley Scott and the Alien franchise
Man, that head-cannon for Fury Road is so helpful. I want to like that film so bad but all I can think when I watch it is how much cooler it would have been to have had 62 year old nut Mel Gibson in the role, tied to the front of that vehicle as a blood bag!
Before watching this I could live with the idea that this film has no Max in it. And I wasn’t concerned about seeing a Girlboss Movie. During the movie I was waiting for something exciting but nothing did happen. My biggest entertainment was Chris Hemsworth, the rest of the villains were boring, like the plot of the movie. My last hope was to see at least a great action movie with jaw dropping stunts. But the crappy CGI and overall effortless choreography also destroyed this for me. While Fury Road has some rewatchability to it, Furiosa has none. Not for the characters, not for the plot, even not for production value.
I wonder how a Furiosa anime (one of the original plans for the production) would have turned out
I was pumped for this ⁵ 🎬 but after watching reviews now I just don't know 😕 how tf u gonna have a mad max movie without mad max!??
As an Aussie I can only say: Aww. what a shame, I want this to be good. I can't remember the last positive review from Robot Head, but when one comes out, boy the film will be a doozy and I'll be straight off to the movies.
It is good. Go see it & decide for yourself.
Its very good lol
Protect this robot at all costs. All of woke Australia will be calling him a traitor to his people for daring to speak the truth. A protocol robot, he is clearly not.
Mel Gibson = only Max.
Agreed. Google image search 'Mel Gibson as old Mad Max' and there's a great concept image of his character
I'd pay to see a sequel with Mel Gibson as an old Max
I liked this movie. George Miller did awesome again. I like Furiosa too. Max was always a character that didn't want to get involved and reluctantly helped. I find Furiosa more compelling because she actually cares and is motivated by helping others to survive. I'td be great to get Tom Hardy's Max again, but if George just wants to focus on Furiosa, i'm fine with that too. The man knows how to make a memorable movie.
Ya im going to go see the movie. The feral kid grew to be the leader of the great Northern tribe. Not Mad Max 2. Here is something that will blow your mind The films aren't in order
I love the explanation of who Max was in fury Road. This helps me forgive Hardy’s unmemorable performance. Thank you, RH
A one arm woman that defeats and kills road warriors is great if you like her story, but I want Mad Max a rogue cop of the wastelands.
Feral Kid Max is a genius idea! It would make so much sense! I love it!
…they will decide if the actual Mad Max movie will be made by this girl bossing fan fiction success.
Make Male-Centric Franchises Male-Centric Again
Don't be gay
@cthulhucrews6602 Both
Robot Head sounds like a genuine Mad Max fan.
Well Done.
I really really liked Furiosa. Damn good action. Good story. Main actress was not insufferable.
If they get away from this girl power thing and make a proper Mad Max movie, with MAX, either a sequel or reboot with the toe cutter and Goose, that would rate
"My eyes were entertained but my brain wasn´t." is the perfect summary of everything that I felt about that movie! Thank you for giving me that and now I can finally sleep well.^^
Cheers Man 👍
Fury Road grounded its "realism" in nuanced characterization, brevity, and material culture we could deduce meaning from. MM Furiosa's dialogue wastes a lot of time explains what you're seeing, whether it is actually relevant or not (and most of it is not because ideas are introduced and then dropped left and right). There's nothing tactile about this world, which takes the stakes out of the action. Where's the fight of the warlords we were promised? I'm not even sure what the climax of the movie is supposed to be.
Great video Robot Head and I like the idea of the Feral kid being the Max we saw in Fury Road. However,we see his family get killed in a flashback,are we to believe not only did he take the original Max’s name and build his own version of his car,but he just HAPPENED to have the same tragic backstory?😉
I was never a Fury Road fan but i think it is weird it never got a proper sequel despite it was such a beloved movie (Or still is) Back when it got releashed.
I think Furiosa was even worse than Beyond Thunderdome. The only redeeming quality was Chris Hemsworth actually trying. I was so used to him playing Thor for Marvel (very boringly) so I forgot that he was actually an excellent actor. Anya-Taylor was obviously miscast for this role. All the props felt like they were too clean for this wasteland, especially Jack's shining war rig. Same goes for Jack himself. Why was he like a good normal decent dude -- even more decent than Max, and make it so far? Very boring character.
Also Gastown CGI looked horrible. The re-used props from Fury Road were infuriating and made the whole movie seemed like it was made because the studio said we need to milk more money from the hard work they had done for FR ten years ago.
Max cameo was underwhelming at best. The narration and title cards sucked real bad. This movie completely forgot the 'show don't tell' principle, especially the ending. The one armed motorcycle ride was also ridiculous. Especially the up-hill part. The constant capture/escape cycle with Furiosa got old real fast. Way too many characters died in uninteresting, boring, meaningless ways. There was no power struggle visible within Dementus's gang although it was implied in the Gastown raid. Also, the new car designs were boring (something I could drew up in 2 hours) and due to the CGI they felt weightless. I swear to god - the 2015 video game had better feeling action that all this crap.
Overall I would give this movie an 4/10. Decent action movie. Bad Mad Max movie and a fall from grace considering the previous entry. Such a shame Miller didn't quit while ahead.
I enjoyed the movie. Watched it without expectations or any marketing exposure and it was unexpectedly good. If you watch it without prejudice or clinging onto the "Mad Max" tag like many seem to, it is a great movie on it's own. Let them tell the story and hope for more to come.
The original trilogy is unbeatable. Of those, Mad Max 2 (The Road Warrior) is, to borrow from Tina Turner, "simply the best"! Mad Max : Fury Road was actually a soft retcon, but I _really_ like your take on it being The Feral Kid emulating his childhood hero! I won't bother with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga until it streams free on one of my subscriptions. I look at the older Miller the same way I look at the older Scott, just padding the resumes and cashing in on their franchises.
Sad but true about Miller and Scott. Scott seems to be doing more damage 👍
It was marketed like a girl boss movie with no Mad Max. Of course fans stayed away, who wouldn't?
The theory that the feral kid from Road Warrior is the new Max in these new films works perfectly. Thank you.
I rewatched Fury Road last night after seeing Furiosa. It did not change my mind. It's a good action film worthy of 7/10 but as a Mad Max film set from the 80s vision it was too jarring. It was like watching a cartoon. 3/10.
I found Furiosa to be a pretty good prequel given how bad they can be. Believe it or not I enjoyed it more because Max was not on it. It became its own universe as a consequence. The Max cameo was wholly unnecessary.
Except the feral kid theory has been dismissed by George Miller himself insisting that it's the same Mad Max from the previous movies.
He explained the recast was the same way the Bond movies do it.
@lukewright9031 Unfortunately for George Miller, nobody cares what he says.
@@reese8097 I agree reese8079 I am sticking with Robot Head theory its the feral kid. It works better that way.
It’s like a Blade movie with no Blade in it.
Mad Maxi Pad is no replacement for Mad Max.
Max Maxi Pad Bloody Road.
Omg hilarious!
Ohh!
🙄
You really thought that was clever and typed it out.
I hink it would have been better to have a direct sequel, instead of a story we know how it ends. I don't know, maybe other tribes attacking her city, or someone doubting her leadership, anything would have been more interesting.
Just saw ir tonight and really enjoyed it, was a great spectacle, loved the expanding of the mad max world
When mad max was a full Aussie movie though times
Keyboard warriors don’t want good movies, they want movies that make weak men look powerful and in control. Why? Because they know they don’t compare to real men.
Saw it this week with my wife - it's actually a really good film and (like Fury Road) Furiosa isn't some infallible super-being. Weird choice to have a Max stand-in popping up halfway through, but the actor's performance was good and didn't take away from the film. It'll be a shame if it flops.
It's already a flop.
Man, you fixed the canon problem of Fury Road for me. I totally rejected this movie because of continuity (and the fact that the first 2 movies have a special place with me), but the feral kid theory kind of fixes it. Thank you!
they destroy his car in the first scene of fury road…. that’s a clear message
