You homosexuals are not listening. typical of morons on the internet
first one if you got a good eye and a good brain on your skull, its kino, mel gibson's performance is subdued and subtle, he plays the part great but it's not at all like fury road, society and the world in the movie still haven't begin collapsing that bad, it has a bit of a cheesiness inherent to a 70's film, specially an 'stralian one but as i said, if you're based you'll appreciate it
If you like Fury Road you will like all the others, even Thunderdome. Fury Road for me though, the third time I watched it my brain was able to understand that the movie was about Nux
Mm 2 is the best one overall, 3 has a more solid worldbuilding imo but the story is not as good as 2, the first one is pretty over the place and goofy, but has some charm to it
>What didn't you like about it?
The fact that Max was a supporting character in his own fricking franchise in order to try and prop up some stupid b***h...
Action is repetitive an the same kind of setpiece goes on and on and on, until they turn around and keep going on and on and on. It gets old the moment they reach the storm.
There is no real character (except Furiosa and only in the first half) nor interesting dialogue/banter.
To me is like watching Termiantor 2 if T2 was 1 hour of Arnold shooting the parking lot with a minigun, then turning around and shooting another parking lot for the following hour.
I liked the practical stuff, but I hated the yellow color correction. It also should have been a Furiosa movie to begin with, since clearly "Max" was a blank slate and only there to use the Mad Max IP. Brides were just a mcgufin, no different from the bag of seeds.
I didn't hate it, it was competent. It just felt liek a waste of cool practical effects, deisgn and concept. And that's a pity.
fury road is basically a category of its own. first one is low budget kino. sequel was alright, but i was way too hyped up by everyone, and fury road to an extent, so it left me feeling a bit disappointed. thunderdome is a little silly and all, but i can appreciate it.
I like that Max is constantly teetering on abandoning civility. In the other movies everything is crazy, but the first movie is a desperate but ultimately futile attempt to preserve regular life
I prefer the aesthetic/world of the first one to the others. The remnants of law and normal life being juxtaposed with savagery is more interesting to me than just total post-apocalyptic anarchy.
The second movie is the greatest in my opinion, lots of fun and violence, serious when it needs to be and it includes lots of subtle dark humour, i know im repeating myself but its sl action packed, great stunts and dialogue, once again Gibson is badass and the worldbuilding is awesome
Third film disappointed me a bit but its still miles better than most films nowadays, its basically mad max for a new PG-13 audience, its so quotable though >TWO MEN ENTER ONE MAN LEAVE
Sometimes these "more kid friendly" franchise sequels could be comfy. Beyond Thunderdome is definitely an example of that, not as great as the first two but it has a cozy element to it.
back when it came out PG13 did wonders for movies since you could have a bit of both if you had a good enough director, but it was really tough not to go too far into the kid friendly bullshit territory, as you said beyond thunderdome is a classic even if it went soft for the cash
The kids arnt really a bad element..the movie just fails to service and resolve all the various plot threads in a satisfying way..also its becomes too much of a retread of the road Warrior half way thru..it starts off boldly but tapes and dwindles down into the familiar.
yeah it really fricks up the pace of the film and the film's plot itself, wasn't Miller planning on doing a 'Lord of the flies' adaptation and then the execs said "Do mad max 3" ?
Personally, i enjoy and prefer it to the sequel because it's a mid-apocalypse story as opposed to post-apocalypse.
I've seen dozens of post-apocalypse films, but very few that grapple with the interstitial stage of degeneration a society goes through when facing imminent collapse. The apoclaypse is coming, it's at the doorstep and everyone knows it, but there's still a police force, judges, trials, couples still go on picnics.
makes me kind of anxious on society's current state, also watch Threads, the 80s Bri'ish film, im sure you'll like it
>If you like Fury Road you...
....are a giant homosexual.
Miller should be dragged behind a truck on a highway until he's pink meat for doing the bait and switch that he did with Max.
it could've been worse anon, much MUCH WORSE, but i'm not completly agreeing with you, Fury road's got amazing setpieces and stuntwork, it's also beautiful to look at, its honestly good
even as a kid I didn't like 3, feels like 2 different movies, the tone is inconsistent. my best guess is Miller was coming off fresh out that movie he did with Spielberg and figures he should turn the movie into E.T. in the second half of the movie so it could make a splash at the box-office.

Mad Max is funny because you're supposed to be seeing the slow apocalypse happening, but then in the later movies it's only been a couple of decades and everyone has abandoned the cities and built all this shit out of scrap metal out in the desert. Still good movies though.
Still though, Immortan Joe had the time to build the Citadel and for what reason? Did everyone just spontaneously go mad and started worshiping him as a god?
Joe and those other two clans formed an alliance that made things relatively safe in that area, so yeah naturally people would end up staying there rather than going off into the desert to die.

stop lying and just fess up that the reason you think its NOT about nukes is because Miller said it he didnt want it to be about radiation and mutants.
Which in no way proves there was a nuclear war elsewhere in the world.

If there was a nuclear war there wouldn't be governments or cities left.
Again, you're just a pleb who has applied BT's developments to MM2.

in the comic they made for the new one they show how the cuties collapses and a lot of people fled to the desert. Like Immorten and the highway patrol who ironically became raiders

First one is by far the best just like Fallout 1 is the best Fallout. It's because apocalypse isn't fetishized. It also has the best car chases and actual horror.
I don't love it. I think the world building is basically non existent, the directing is mediocre at best, the pacing is fricking crap. it feels like it's 9 hours long. it's like a fricking student film.
Well said.
This movie also has a incredibly evocative score, with some of the best parts being during the closing credits. Pure dramatic catharsis there.
I hope the original script to Fury Road,(the one that was gonna star heath ledger) surface's one day..he was gonna play a grown up version of the feral lad from The Road Warrior.
Miller lost his edge after his friend and co creator of the franchise Bryon Kennedy was killed (murdered? )..Its why the series lost its edge afterwars.
Stunts are great and it's a merciless no bs depiction of humanity going to shit. The bad guys are convincingly insane psycho rapist murderers while also being charismatic and fun to watch. Crazy performances and I love all the wacky editing tricks and quick shots of peoples eyes bulging out their heads and stuff
The old fashioned vehicle chases look great, real feeling of speed and not fake shit. You have to allow for the low budget as obviously there's many parts they'd prefer to look better than it does.
Breakdown of law and order. The scum of society are protected by the ruling class, while the cops are hamstrung. The general public is weak and passive, willingly herded around, too scared to stand up for themselves or stand up to the anarchists. The cops can't take the trash off the streets for long, they only watch more of their buddies die for nothing; fighting an asymmetrical war rigged against them. A cop decides he has had enough, just wanting to leave it all behind and be with his new family. But where do you run when your society is in decay?
Because it's cool.
Haven’t seen any of the original Mad Max movies, just Fury Road and I loved that. Any of the them worth watching?
maybe
Yeah, all of them. Beyond Thunderdome is a goofy adventure film but its still kino.
I like the first half. Hate when it turns into a Peter Pan film. The ending is alright I guess, but frick PG-13 Mad Max, it sucks.
Road Warrior is just as good as mad max. Thunder dome was silly
Probably my favorite film of the 70s.I wish I knew were to get the original English dub..I hate the aussie voice track
Pretty sure all the modern releases have both audio options
Thunderdome is the weakest of the series but you might like it. The first movie is slower and not like FR or the rest
Mad Max II The Road Warrior is the greatest movie ever made.
>100 milly for a half milly investment
Holy dimes.
The first one is way better, pal
first one's got a lot more depth, but the second one has the AYATOLLAH, OF ROCKNROLLAH!
what was his deal?
he was in the military, he was built like a mac truck, he had horrible burn marks and it seems he lost a wife, he had everything to win and nothing to lose, Millers compared him to Genghis Khan
yeah well people are stubborn like that, specially on s taiwanese celery peeling anonymous imageboard forum

they're extremely mid
the first one is good but watch the australian dub, not the american dub
>hate the aussie voices

wait, there exists an American dub to Mad Max? That's fricking hilarious
It does and it's absolutely horrible.
Didn’t know this either, fricking yanks dubbed train spotting as well

Nope. Watch Waterworld instead.
I like that Max is constantly teetering on abandoning civility. In the other movies everything is crazy, but the first movie is a desperate but ultimately futile attempt to preserve regular life
I wish George Miller would do a adaptation of vampire Hunter D
i actually liked the first one the most out of all of them.
same
>Why do you love this film guys?
They say the world doesn't believe in heroes anymore, but Max and Fifi gave us back our heroes.
I thought the went crazy and became Lord Humungus.
I prefer the aesthetic/world of the first one to the others. The remnants of law and normal life being juxtaposed with savagery is more interesting to me than just total post-apocalyptic anarchy.
Because it's great. I love the "society falling apart" setting.

it was fast car chases, breasts and sawed offs

what s wrong wth them?
that they are not pic related
monke from house of the dragon
who is the little one and what to they look like today if they are even still alive?
80% of the cast on imdb doesnt even have profile pics. weird
even as a kid I didn't like 3, feels like 2 different movies, the tone is inconsistent. my best guess is Miller was coming off fresh out that movie he did with Spielberg and figures he should turn the movie into E.T. in the second half of the movie so it could make a splash at the box-office.
who knows they're australian natives
They were supposed to make a peter pan movie, but threw mad max in there in hopes of making more money. I'm not joking.
Much like Halloween, it's a genre movie that has a minimalist beauty. It unfolds naturally and with a comfy, no-frills starkness
Personally, i enjoy and prefer it to the sequel because it's a mid-apocalypse story as opposed to post-apocalypse.
I've seen dozens of post-apocalypse films, but very few that grapple with the interstitial stage of degeneration a society goes through when facing imminent collapse.

There was a nuclear war in between the movies.
Still though, Immortan Joe had the time to build the Citadel and for what reason? Did everyone just spontaneously go mad and started worshiping him as a god?
Immorten stole it from another group, it was a water reservoir
Joe and those other two clans formed an alliance that made things relatively safe in that area, so yeah naturally people would end up staying there rather than going off into the desert to die.
Joe's legend built up with each of his victories but he was already a legend from the war, i think its implied he survived a nuke strike too
The nuclear war was only present in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
Watch the intros to 2 and 3 again. There is no reference to nukes in 2 at all, just conventional warfare and the lack of oil.
3 is where nukes are mentioned and Max walks around with a Geiger counter.
>reee miller didnt say it had nukes
its implied in the intro.
Anyway in the new ones its outright said
>its implied in the intro.
It's not, at all. They just mention conventional warfare and the lack of oil which the entire world needed to operate.
Show me a single reference to radiation in the entire movie.
Meanwhile BT is full of radiation themed shit.

Stunts are great and it's a merciless no bs depiction of humanity going to shit. The bad guys are convincingly insane psycho rapist murderers while also being charismatic and fun to watch. Crazy performances and I love all the wacky editing tricks and quick shots of peoples eyes bulging out their heads and stuff
Fallout did it better
It's a cool revenge story, feels more like a western than an apocalypse movie.
It's pre-apocalypse. Society is in decline but it hasn't fully collapsed yet.
The old fashioned vehicle chases look great, real feeling of speed and not fake shit. You have to allow for the low budget as obviously there's many parts they'd prefer to look better than it does.
