They'd be really dumb not to include some kind of coffeetable book of imagery with the collectible Blu-Ray.  I've been thumbing through some of the still shots and you'd be hard-pressed to find any movie with the shear volume and bombacity of live-action movieart.

It's going to be nice when this actually gets out of theatres so people can really pick it apart.

And yes, there's already a script for the next one (Mad Max: 'Wasteland'):

He had a script for another movie back before he started filming this one (initially planning to film them back to back). I'm sure he's not lacking for material if he really does want to make another and WB will let him without keeping a much tighter rein on him this time.

But damned if I don't have a vision of him walking out of the desert in his mid-70's after spending another 4 months out there filming, holding a film reel canister up to sky, shouting "Witness Me!" and then dropping dead.

I liked this movie a lot but I saw no reason for it to get an R rating slapped on it.

Nipples on screen for more than a flash = R rating.

Or did you fall asleep during that glorious wet-T-shirt homage?


Ed: Ok, that's disingenuous. I think they also used more than their allotted curse words and the violence was the majority of the movie. It's an 1980's PG which is a modern R.

This.  I honestly thought they'd run with this scene a bit more, but it was gratuitous enough already.  "So shiny! So chrome!"

A wet tshirt contest barely registered in my mind as rated R since every transformers movie has a moment like that in 3D and with slow mo, and maybe an explosion in the background just to let you know what you should be doing with your hands. But yeah this could have been PG13 and probably made 3 times as much money without skipping a beat or being considered a sell out.

Nah. That was too short. And we all know boobies and the F-Bomb are far more damaging to American minds than faces being ripped off.

So bro asked me to go see this with him.  I think anyone that loved this movie can never bitch about Michael Bay again.. cuz this was like the ultimate in Baysplosion type action with the same lack of story.

That being said, it was alright.  The action was great but it got boring about halfway through.

I thought that guy was one of the cooler parts of the movie.  I dunno, this should have been the type of movie that I love.  I think if it just had something more it could have been better.

Seriously.  This thing is so far away from the shit that Bay does your comment comes off like saying no one can complain about Adam Sandler films if they like MM: FR any more because they are both movies.

Watch a later period Michael Bay movie, like the Transformers movies. Watch an action scene. Come back and tell me if you can figure out who was doing what and when. Now, watch any scene in this movie. Odds are you know exactly who is where and what they are doing most of the time.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley who played the favorite wife in mad max and played the megan fox stand-in in transformers 3 is by far the best way to differentiate the two movies.  Here we have a super hot model playing on one side, a real life character who has been through some shit.  On the other side you have someone who can go through a crumbling building and not even get her makeup and hair messed with cause Bay is jerking off with his camera on her all day long.

Good point. Bay basically films her scenes up her ass crack and uses her as a statutory rape joke. Miller   

Totally similar.

Mentioning Miller and bay in the same sentence  ACK!

This sums Miller up nicely and I like the fact that they use Mad Max 2 as the example

Wow...so this movie, it was just intense action practically non-stop, beginning to end.

And definitely better than a Bay movie - very little, if any, CG. Practical effects are just...better, when possible.

Just came back from watching it in 3d (with beer). Leaned over to my buddy as the credits rolled "What the fuck did I just watch?"

I'm the guy who constantly bitches about pacing in movies - like ten minutes too much robot fighting in Age of Ultron vs 20 minutes too little plot - yet this was a movie that was 95% car chase scenes, and the damn pacing worked just fine. I can't explain it.

I can't honestly decide if I thought it was great or not, but I certainly enjoyed watching it.

My mouth wasn't agape on the 2nd viewing, but the picture and sound were crisp and great (added bonus, no trailers at the Pacific Science Center IMAX). The acting in this by Hardy, who really made Max mad, and Nicholas Hoult who's performance was stellar, and I don't think Charleze Theron has acted this well in years, was incredible.  Went with Engels and Ard. We timed it with the Seattle Folklife Festival so parking was impossible and marijuana was everywhere.  I don't see how a better post apocalyptic car chase movie can be made.

The game's been in the works almost as long as the movie. No real connection other than the titular character.

I always like to go imdb a movie after I see it, see who random familiar looking characters were played by. This had a couple surprises: Elvis' granddaughter as one of the brides (red). And the heroic warboy was Tony from Skins.

Wait. You recognized him from that but not from x-men?  

Also dark skinned bride was Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonets daughter. Now I feel really old.

This movie is essentially the embodiment of "Rule of Cool". Every time you start to think "This shit doesn't make any sense", there's another goddamn awesome moment and you forget such heresy.

There's a guy with a flame-throwing double-necked guitar on the front of the War Machine. Why? Because fuck you. What would *you* put on the front of your war machine? Shut up and enjoy the power chords as Max uses it for a literal Axe.
