There was a moment when I saw "guitar man" that I felt just a twinge of oh man...more Thunderdome than Road Warrior. But, everything I see and read makes me so very excited to see this beautiful trainwreck !

That was everything I wanted in a Mad Max movie.

That was everything I wanted in a Mad Max movie. That's what I've been hearing. I'm planning on seeing it sometime tomorrow.

very explosion... much loud...
Which made it AWESOME! It was an exceedingly fun movie and, contrary to some of the comments on the internet about it, my prick did not fall off and I did not become a raging feminist for having watched it!

It was amazing. I will admit there were one or two times during the movie when I was watching all the pulpy action and craziness and wondered whether or not I was happy overall with the story. Was it a little too over the top? A little cheesy (in a gritty way)? And then I realized that my hands and body were clenched and I was on a 2 hour action adventure that was unrivaled in beauty and character and thematic goodness. Looking back on it now, I really love how much came through in the setting and characters and acting, and how little the dialogue was critical for most of the film. The music and pacing is unreal. Enjoy!

Watched it with my gaming buddies. We talked about all the Mad Max Savage Worlds I've done but not played with this group. Then I saw this while talking about it and had to buy it Mad Max Hell on Earth BundleFirst movie in a while where I wanted to watch it again the next day, and thought about it all day(including more 1 shots for SW) A few days later, I think I ended up liking Nux the best, and I started out thinking he was a throw away character the first 20 minutes or so in. Also, I was happily surprised that Immortin Joe wasn't just an old dude on a thrown with a cameo(he played Toecutter in Mad Max 1). He was all up in that shiz

Can't quit thinking about the movie and a game to run.
I came up with a ruined city where the skyscrapers are all rivets and framing except for the top parts. The top is inaccessible from the ground, and a tribe of Gyro-captains and Glider-kids live up there away from the horrors below. Six towers make up the town of "Dante". A "not evil, but not good" hot-rod car gang lives at the base and exchange protection for resources brought by the Gyro-captains. They are lead by "Lucifreya" a former Gyro-captain that lost her rights to live in the top. That's right "her". Her gang calls her Lucy, she wears a leather jacket with burning wings on the back and she drives a tricked out beatle-buggy. Her 6 sisters still live in the top, so she helps protect it for them. Only now they're dying one at a time. Who is killing them, and what will happen when the last sister dies, where is Lucy's allegiance going to fall then?

I was excited to see this movie for a long time, but then I started hearing a bunch of MRA types whining about how wildly feminist it is, and now I scraped and scrimped for weeks to make sure I AM GONNA SEE IT. I go on Friday!

They do know the director and producer, George Miller, is rather famously homosexual and from a generation that suffered appalling govt sanctioned oppression in his home town of Brisbane? - this tends to lend one a sympathetic ear to feminist ideology especially given contributions by fellow Australian Germaine Greer in making the principles of feminism universally applicable to all (ie gender blind)? Do they even realise that this so called bastion of masculinity is the product of the fantastical imagination of someone who is most certainly not 'masculine' and thus probably (on closer examination) is more homoerotic in design? They're dumb arses Either way - stonking good movie. Aaron

No, they don't, Kainguru, and that's what makes the whining so amazingly ironic and hilarious. Don't get me wrong-- before the whining started I was fully planning on going to see it anyway, and to even try to get at it in the theatre, because it's GOD DAMN MAD MAX YOU CAN'T NOT GO. But then I saw this whiny blog post from that dumb mammoth hunting guy. And I was like "YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I'MO GO TO THIS MOVIE NOW PUNK. CRY HARDER YOU BABY! I WANT TO MILK YOUR TEARS FOR CEREAL LUBE". I might be too yelly. <.< >.>
