So.. how's the actual story? Mad Max stands on it's story more than on the car chases, which is why the original and Road Warrior are so damn good (and why Thunderdome sucked). How does this one stack up?
Very excited to see this. I am a big fan of movies 2 and 3. I am glad they stayed with the same art direction, as it feels like you could splice sections of this trailer into 'the road warrior' film and it would fit stylistically.
Mad Max also comes to mind as well, hopefully they based this character on Mad Max :P you think that's spoiling the entire plot?

This forum is a big group of people from all different ages and walks of life so it's super interesting to see what people's perspectives are on the movie, the character and the franchise in general. What I loved about the series is that Mad Max was always a sort of folk hero that just appears in times of need. He is an…
I went and saw Fury Road on opening night and have seen it twice more in the theatre since then. I'd never seen a Mad Max film, and I'm kind of meh on the post-apocalyptic genre in general. For example the only Fallout game I've played was 3 and that bored me to tears. I went expecting big explosions and Tom Hardy (I'm a…
