Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Furiosa isn't woke. It is just untrue. To avoid wokeness, they simply removed Max Rockatansky from the story:)
I have a feeling that was the last movie of the series. It is quite sad, cause I'm a big fan of the Mad Max universe.

Well said. No one played Max like Mel Gibson. Also, the villains were far more believable and entertaining.
 
Based on the fact that it's a girl boss movie, alone, I won't bother. Also, the cgi looks pretty bad. The coolest thing about the first two was the live action, especially in The Road Warrior.

The original series with Mel Gibson had 3 movies; not so sure that your opinion in this matter is important, new guy. Bad mouthing a movie you haven't even seen, never go full retard.

The first 2 are the best…argument can be made that the third doesn’t belong and shouldn’t be considered. Wouldn’t be too hard on the new guy. I will have to watch this new movie to make a judgment.

I know, Mad Max Beyond The Thunderdome. It's actually the first one I ever saw and also my least favorite. Some memorable parts but over all pretty dull. As for judging movies before hand, I'm an experienced enough movie buff to know a box of dog poop when I see one. Miller has gone too far with cgi as seen in the trailer. I'm no fam of wokeness, something else he's jumped on board.
Did you know that the moving chase and battle scenes in the Road Warrior were filmed live and in real time? It's OK to have standards and stick to them, you don't have to automatically be all positive about art, just because. If it sucks, it sucks, and this sucks.

If you haven't seen something but you 'feel' you still have an opinion on it, you don't have standards, your a victim of marketing.
 
Comparing Road Warrior and Fury Road, both of which I've seen, does show that there's more a sense that things seen were really happening back then, while modern movies have a really-good-animation air to them especially when action starts happening. Maybe it's me, maybe I've spent so much of my life staring at computers that a glimpse of reality is so refreshing?

In my humble opinion, Bladerunner had the best special effects ever, as it was made just on the eve of the industry going down the computer-generated rabbit hole.
 
It was definitely a good movie, sure we all missed Mad Max. Hemsworth’s villain Dementous was excellent. It’s a fascinating world and genre. I saw it twice, took my kids. Personally I think a streaming service like Amazon will throw a boatload of cash at Miller to do a maxi series of 12 episodes. Then they can explore more individual characters and events with Tom Hardy as the occasional lead. Given the general mood of the audience for societal collapse this would be a hit. “Into the wasteland” will definitely happen, despite the lack lustre box office for Furiosa. There’s just nothing as engaging and fresh as this series. Pretty much the perfect fusion of western with car movies. It’s a perfect franchise and that won’t stay buried. Everything else is dead and or irrelevant now.

Next they'll make an Indiana Jones movie without Indiana Jones and have a bunch of 110 pound women running around beating the snot out of 250 pound men.

Wasn't the latest Indy movie pretty much what you just described? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I don't believe I was able to sit through that dumpster fire of a movie in it's entirety.

No one can destroy a legacy like Hollyweird.

I didn't see it. That franchise went limp for me after the second sequel.

I didn't mind the one with Sean Connery, always enjoyed him, but the first two were classics. If memory serves the finale of the third was filmed in Afghanistan, and the taliban blew up some of the irreplaceable antiquities when they took over the first time. Can't be harsed to double check that.
 
Based on that single clip (thanks for that, btw North Sylva) I don't think I'll bother. More style than substance, plenty of visual noise and not enough character or story for my tastes.

When the action scenes start to look like outtakes from a bad Cirque du Solier season, I'm out.
