Such a f**king awesome movie!
Doesn't let up, from beginning to end. Some of the best action scenes I've seen.

I thought Hardy was a worthy Max. Although his accent was a bit weird. Didn't sound fully Aussie, but just Aussie enough that it didn't bother me.

Well Mel Gibson didn't do that much talking in the first two apart from one scene with his wife in Mad Max. In Mad Max 2 he hardly spoke at all. After Max goes postal in the first one he speaks in short grabs and not much more like when he gives Johnny the Boy the handcuffs at the end of the first movie. Seems to be in that mould in the latest movie.

The main bad dude looked like a cross between Bain and the Predator.

In all honesty, that pic looks particularly tacky.

I've have seen the first two minutes of Fury Road where Max stomps on the lizard then eats it before he gets pursued by whoever.

I will watch it tonight in full with the missus.

I thought that too when I seen the pic.

it seems to work perfectly fine in the movie and doesn't look as bad, or at least it isn't as noticeable on a moving truck.

some of my friends nit picked at all the speakers with questions like 'what battery would support that' but if you just sit back and allow yourself to be immersed into the world George miller has created you will love this.

I hope you aren't friends anymore.

Lol!! They look like 4/6/8 ohm speakers which are quite capable of being powered by a 12 volt DC source.

Umm...the amplifier which powers them might be a different matter.

Years ago, I f**ked around with my hi-fi speakers (Accusound Phase Zero - 200W rms handling) and put them in my car running a "alleged 250W/ channel Pioneer CD/amp set up and at full volume, almost blew the windscreen out.

EDIT: I suspect the vehicle carrying this sound system has a 12 or 24V charging system.

Forget who it was but everything George Miller used in the movie had to work in real life or something along those lines.

yeah I've seen interviews with George Miller where he says anywhere there is a vehicle or people its all real. which is most of the movie.

even the flame throwing guitar is real which surprised me, it looked fake imo.

The main bad dude is the same guy who played Toecutter in the original Mad Max.

I did like how they kept Max from speaking too much.
In fact, I would have liked it if he had less lines.
Gibson had I think 16 lines in total in Mad Max 2. He just didn't need to say anything more than that.

Again, a tacky CGI attempt.

Thankfully, us old merkins can live with the memory that MM1 and 2 had REAL stunts.

Still a dead heat between the first two for mine. The opening chase in Mad Max is a cinematic masterclass IMO. Still haven't seen anything as good since then. The game of chicken between the Night Rider and Max is still f**ken awesome IMO. The way Max starts his car after washing his hands and listening to the chase is a perfect start to a brilliant film.

Did you know Max was the only copper with a V8 in Mad Max? Both his cars were V8's but the others were only six cylinders.

You need to see the movie.

It's not CGI.

The stunts are real and this is the best Mad Max film by a big margin IMO.

Really....the dust storm CGI is a joke and a majority of the stunts.

The quick shift between shots in the action/stunt scenes slightly diminish the CGI effects.

Until you play it in slow motion. Then it is blatantly obvious.
