The only issue for me with this movie is that Mel Gibson isn't Mad Max.
Yeah, I know...he's an awful human being. But what's that have to do with his acting ability? And he's not the first of those in Hollywood. He's not even the worst. Roman Polanski and Woody Allen still have thriving careers. Mel might be a bigot, but he never raped anyone.
Wow, you trust media that much? 
Wow, you trust media that much?
Can you be more specific?
What exactly is it that I'm not supposed to be trusting? The allegations of domestic violence? The racist rants? Or both?

Yea.
Yea.
I'm going to assume that yes was a response to last question.
The allegations of domestic violence are just that. He was accused of it and denied it. He was also going through a nasty divorce and a custody battle at that time. So it is impossible to say who was telling the truth. Only he and his ex wife know.
The racist rants however are not just unproven allegations. He was caught on tape. Even if you don't trust the recordings, he publicly apologized for it. A person isn't going to publicly apologize for something they didn't do or say.

Vagina Monologues Writer Eve Ensler: How Mad Max: Fury Road Became a ‘Feminist Action Film’
My god you would think there have never been any women in movies.
Btw Vagina monologues Yeah that isnt juvenile at all.
What is wrong with Feminism?
On paper, nothing. One can argue that it is unnecessary nowadays in most modern countries that don't treat either gender like second class citizens (see: most, if not all of the first world), but nothing is wrong with it as an idea. Nobody in their right mind would be against gender equality.
Feminism is "bad" because modern feminism (aka 3rd wave feminism) has been adopted by whiny, hypocritical idiots who aren't actually lobbying for equality so much as they want preferential treatment, and they condemn and demonize people who aren't a part of their clique. God have mercy on your soul if you're a straight white male. Not to mention that a lot of modern feminists (I say "a lot" because I acknowledge that not all of them behave badly and that most of them are good, well meaning people) are desperate for attention, so they make social issues out of literally anything. I s**t you not when I say that there was a campaign to get the word "bossy" 'banned', and that they want clapping to be banned at feminist conventions and replaced with jazz hands, because according to those people, clapping triggers anxiety (it doesn't). Last but not least, they play the victim card in response to any and all kinds of criticism. Like, a lot. One woman claimed to have PTSD from Twitter "bullying" (if "bullying" is the same as saying something stupid and then people call you out for saying something stupid), and when actual military veterans called her on her crap, she said that they were harassing her on the basis that she was a woman, and NOT because she made a mockery of actual PTSD sufferers.
Basically, this graphic in a nutshell:

Nice! Finally. Strong women yes! 
I hate stereotypical crybaby characters that movies usually give to the women. Expecially i hated alias series, where female main character who was a special agent, and yet was crying and whining 90% of the time. 
Dredd was pretty good movie with good female characters. 
Now this is must watch movie. Now only we can hope more lgbt characters. Hollywood movies and movies in general are really lacking lgbt characters, expecially lesbian characters are statistically underused. Ideal would be 33% heterosexual characters, 15% gay, 15% lesbian, 30% bisexual and rest would be transexuals. 
Bioware shows that it is completely possible.
Nothing.
In what kind of warped reality did that happened?
You? Why you no talk about One Piece no more?Nothing.
You? Why you no talk about One Piece no more?
Sure I will make a post about it later in the A&M thread.
I have been very busy.
I remember seeing this trailer when I watched Age of Ultron and my first reaction was "what the f*ck did I just watch?"
But I'm a Tom Hardy fan and if the reviews are good I suppose I might as well check it out. Been ages since I've seen a somewhat decent action movie.
Reviews now coming out in Australia and they are uniformly great.
The reviews so far have been glowing. Some of the critics are saying it is one of the best action films they've ever seen.
It speaks volumes for the sheer ferocious awesome insane greatness of “Mad Max: Fury Road” that I’m not even ticked off about Tom Hardy getting stuck wearing a face mask for a good chunk of the film.
I mean, come on! This guy’s one of the best actors of his generation, and it’s the Bane of my existence to see him once again get the “Dark Knight” treatment. Let the man be seen and heard.
Then again, we can always hope Hardy and the equally badass Charlize Theron team up again for a dialogue-driven character study. For now let’s be grateful they’re one of the best action duos ever, in one of the best action movies.
Ever.
“Mad Max: Fury Road” is a stunningly effective post-apocalyptic fable, a chilling and yet exhilarating daytime nightmare pitting blindly loyal and bloodthirsty half-humans against implausibly beautiful people clinging to their sense of morality while doing whatever they can to stay alive.
In an action movie world dominated by cartoonishly over-the-top CGI effects and rapid-fire quick cuts, it’s exhilarating to see so many set pieces and battle sequences filmed in unbroken tracking shots, some breathtaking wide angle views and visceral, gritty close-ups.
“Mad Max” maestro George Miller, returning to the franchise that marked his directorial debut in 1979, says 90 percent of the effects seen onscreen are practical, i.e., sans computer-generated imagery or post-production wizardry, and the result is an action movie so much better than most, it almost qualifies for its own genre.
My best guess is “Fury Road” sits on the timeline somewhere between “The Road Warrior” and “Beyond Thunderdome,” with Hardy picking up the blowtorch from Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky, who is haunted by terrifying, “Shining”-level visions of the daughter he couldn’t save. Now Max slogs his way through a vicious, blood-spattered desert world, with only one goal: survival. (Even if you haven’t seen any of the original “Mad Max” films, “Fury Road” works as a stand-alone piece.)
After an opening chase sequence more ambitious and visually stunning than the climactic scenes in most big-budget action films, Max is held captive in the Citadel, a canyon city in which the great unwashed masses await commands (and rations of water) from the all-powerful and all-hideous Immortan Joe, a ghoulish sicko with a skeleton face mask and his own personal harem of supermodel-gorgeous “breeders.” (In a nice touch, Hugh Keays-Byrne, who was the infamous Toecutter in the first “Mad Max” movie, plays Joe.)
As for Max, he’s literally a human blood bag — a “universal donor” hooked up to an IV to provide fuel to Nux (Nicholas Hoult), one of the hundreds of young “War Boys” feverishly devoted to the cult of Immortan Joe. The War Boys sound like brainwashed terrorists, spouting verbal garbage about the glories of reaching the gates of Valhalla where they will be born again under the approving eyes of Immortan Joe. They’re half-mad warrior-fools.
Once Max is sprung from the Citadel — what, you thought Mad Max would spend the whole movie bound and gagged and held as a slave? — he forms a partnership-of-necessity with Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron, imposing and beautiful and magnificent with her buzz cut and her black eye makeup), who has gone rogue with her precious cargo: thousands of gallons of “Guzoline,” and Immortan Joe’s harem of beauties, one of whom is pregnant with his child.
About those women. They’re so ridiculous it’s great. Rosie Huntington-Whitley is the Splendid Angharad, Zoe Kravitz is Toast the Knowing, Abbey Lee is the Dag, Riley Keough is Capable and Courtney Eaton is Cheedo the Fragile. So there! They wear strips of white linen fabric and they look as if they’re on their way to a shoot for Vogue, but each has her own special brand of toughness and resilience. And given that Max often takes a passenger seat to Theron’s Imperator Furiosa, this is one female-empowered action vehicle.
Once Max and Furiosa are on the run with Immortan Joe’s fleet giving chase, “Fury Road” is one extended warring sequence after another, punctuated by pauses so Max and Furiosa can learn just a little bit about one another, and we can catch our breath.
What a feast for the eyes and the adrenaline. The war rigs are hybrids of muscle cars, tanks, drag racers and land-speed rocket ships. War Boys spray silver paint on their mouths and cackle madly. Enemy soldiers on motorcycles fly through the air like futuristic X-Gamers on PEDs. Warriors sway back and forth on long poles, swooping in for the kill and then bouncing away like Velcro’d vaulters. Furiosa and Max devise ingenious defense plans on the fly. Immortan Joe’s fleet includes minions literally banging on gigantic drums, and a thrash metal guitarist strapped to the front of a truck, just because.
It’s all perfectly, wonderfully, fantastically crazy.
Amidst all those ingenious, power-packed road warrior sequences, “Fury Road” contains a surprising amount of depth and character development. There’s not a whole lot of dialogue, and yet Max, Furiosa and Nux experience something akin to growth. Fighting like animals against creatures with not a speck of conscience, they tap into their own humanity.
Not gonna lie, that comic was horrifying.
Saw the movie today, it's badass.
Charlize Theron rocks.
We have here a bunch of heathens dissin' The Matrix.
YOU WILL ALL PAY WHEN THE ROBOTS TAKE OVER
Honestly it looks cool regardless of any BSing. ans i would doo her in a hartbeat. (Just leave the Prostetic arm off mama likes.)
My problem is them Shoehorning politics into everything.
Disney is sexist because. Arial is to skinny and either wares a Bikini top or isnt Topless.
yeah i like Kickass women We all do. but cummon.
BTW whwn the movie ends at the Premier thay have to Jazzhands.
Mad Max has always has a lot of politics in it. It is about how war turned the world to ****. The second one revolves around two forces fighting over gasoline. Beyond Thunderdome...Well, uh, who the hell knows that that was supposed to be about. Midgets? Weird children? Aholes with helicopters? A monkey...
Wow, you trust media that much?
Being a fan of Charlize Theron certainly helps me consider watching it some time, and it not having Mel Gibson is definitely a one up. So yeah
I'm soo expecting a few Bane jokes in the How It Should Have Ended video.
So Furiosa kicks a lot of ass. Was Aliens a feminist movie because Ripley and Vasquez kicked ass?
Yes :|
Being a fan of Charlize Theron certainly helps me consider watching it some time, and it not having Mel Gibson is definitely a one up. So yeah
THAT'S THE LAST STRAW.
