    Awesome. Little bigger & CGI heavy than I would have liked...low tech & grungy is how I will always think of MAd MAx/The Road Warrior, but the vehicle & costume design is perfect & the vibe seems spot on.

    If that trailer is anything to go by we might end up with a totally insane action film that belongs to a different time. It's the eighties all over again.
    Wonder how today's kids will react to this after years and years of heroes in spandex and Transformers nonsense.

    Neil - you mean the very brief shot with the metal 'teeth' bikini bottoms?

    This movie looks super cool! The action looks insane! Hopefully the framework upon which all that car-nage ( ) hangs is as robust as the fuel-guzzling monsters yomping through that desert.

    It's clearly a chastity belt as in the scene there's some massive bolt cutters being used to chop it off

    Damn I really hope this flick lives up to the trailers and hype ... it looks "awesome ... totally awesome!"

    And yes, I do feel like "going full Joaquin".

    Sorry lads, this just looks like it completely lacks all of the charm that made the original Mad Max great. 'Mad Max 2' now, not the awful first one.
    I'm runnin' this monkey farm now Frankenstein.....

    Shootem doesn't like something. I'm surprised.

    looks great.

    i just rewatched Mad Max 2 and 3 on the big screen.

    2 is awesome. 3 is meh. great sets, music, costumes but they really toned down the violence in favor of much more... slapstick.

    Apparently #3 didn't even start out as a Mad Max movie, which explains a lot ... yeah, visually strong, but story and action (and violence) wise it's naff.

    Apparently Fury Road is akin to Mad Max 2/Road Warrior ... which is music to my ears.

    What's weird about part 3 is that the world itself is rather grim. It features gladiatorial fights, tales of the apocalypse and the underworld set. I wonder - who did they think was gonna both appreciate the grittiness of the world AND the constant slapstick action sequences?
