I watched it yesterday, it's definitely different. It's basically 100% pure fast paced action, from start to finish. No lore, hardly any dialogue. And everyone is mad, not just Max. I personally prefer to have some story and background, but this was a nice change, just pure mindless fun.

My main problem with it is that I expected a lot more, especially after reading the hype. Now it's a 6.5/10 at most, watchable mindless action that's trying way too hard to be weird, while I was waiting for something with an actual storyline, dialogue and different scenes (instead of what practically amounts to one silly car chase scene).

Its basically Redline but not anime, which is great. I might have to have a movie night watching both movies at once, but that might just be too much action for the body and mind to handle.

Redline has more story and I enjoyed it more, but yeah it's the same type of movie 8-). I definitely wouldn't give this movie as much as the score on imdb. It's like Xant said, basically one big, flashy car chase scene. But it was visually pleasing - lots of detail in clothes/wear and cars. Music could be better, some tracks were nice but nothing really remarkable.

Yeah the movie does seem like one big blur because of the action to story ( or lack of ) ratio, it didn't help watching it in 3D, I am going to re watch it in 2d. The weirdness in the movie carries over from the original Mad Max movies, there were definitely some very strange characters in that, the difference is there was a fair amount more dialogue and story in those movies, which this movie needed more of. Max wasn't a mute sociopath, but sometimes you would think so in this movie. It's a decent movie for what it is, but they could have done a lot more with it, especially considering what was already laid out before them in the older movies, they could have been a bit more imaginative rather than one big car chase.

Also, I still hate that stupid guitar guy  :lol:.

It was retarded, but just another symptom of their "must-be-weird-to-shock-people" shtick. And it works. People go "hahah wow! That's crazy! So weird! Makes no sense! Equals awesome!"

Yeah, there was a lot of weird in the movie and quite a bit of it was passable, but the guitar guy was just retarded and cringe worthy and it baffles me how there are people that actually liked him, it felt like if I was a 10 year old I might have liked it and thought he was cool, but it was a 15 rated movie here lol.

Give in to your inner child, and you will become allpowerful.

I thought it was cool when everytime the camera would watch over the incoming army of vehicles you would hear the guitar and drums in the distant. Also considering basically the entire movie is made with practical stunts, i just think that the crazier it gets, the better. He's only shown for a pretty short time total, i think they counted on him being either love or hate kinda role, so they didnt show him too much, but he still had his parts. Thats how i felt the entire movie was, balanced in all regards. I never felt like ugh too much talk or too much boring action, it felt like it kept advancing, and showing new stuff. There is a ton of action, but it doesnt bore me like, erhm, the latest Hobbit movie, holy fuck those fight scenes had me sleeping. That movie felt like it dragged on for way longer than its suppose to. While mad max blasted away in 5 minutes and im instantly ready to watch it again as i exited the theater.
