So I watched MAD MAX: FURY ROAD for the First Time...

There's a strong sense of physicality to the action that is missing from many other modern action movies.

Although this is a Top 5 film for me personally, all of your takes make total sense and you nailed this review. We can always count on you keeping it real man🤝

You should check out Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior as Tim Cain says it was one of the primary inspirations for Fallout, they had it on constant replay while making the game and it shows.

Furiosa used to be from the green place and was taken from her home, when they tried to go back during the movie it had dried up since she was taken. Sounded like you missed that and not sure how

11:18 That’s what I like about the character. He’s basically an RPG protagonist. He wanders around, discovers weird places, meets weird people, completes quests, kills a bunch of bad guys, doesn’t elaborate further and leaves.

There might not be a lot of dialogue in the film, but I still find it emotionally resonant. The action serves the story.

As someone who just loves film, I love both movies where people sit around and talk and technical masterpieces like this. I'm the same way with games. To me, if it's good, it's good. Does not matter what the genre or style is. I think one of this movies strengths is that it doesn't spell things out for you. Max is the character we follow and he's an outsider to this community. Us understanding all of the intricacies of what's going on would be the actions of a worse movie that ignores point of view in favor of oversimplification Edit: just wanna make clear that I'm not like shitting on you or anything, just that I think that this is an incredibly unique film and that that's incredibly important in any artistic medium. Your opinions are valid just wanted to offer more context

Fights some random women...meets more random women. Hmmm...could there be some missing, important details?

I don't want Max to talk. I love the body language acting of it all. I love the action sequences. Just phenomenal. I don't need this movie to be more than what it is. That is why i like it so much.

I just remember the sound being sooo good in this movie, the movie was so intense and gripping. Maybe you didn’t like it because you watched it on the peleton lol

Me: "It's fine, he just doesn't truly appreciate practical effects yet, he hasn't seen the originals, it's a valid opinion to have, etc" Mr. Matthew: "I'd put it on par with Sonic Frontiers" That made me wish to go the way of that dude in the hallway from Dead Space.

There’s a case to be made that this is an incredible and unforced feminist film, which is super cool

Sure, Fury Road is no Attack of the Clones, but I still think it’s great. 😂

The frame rate changes is what has always bothered me. The weird speed up and speed down in the same sequence.

Please listen to the person who said mad max 2 road warrior

Yea I really don't think we would get along Matty.

madmax is just the story of a survivor. in a completely decayed, crazy and ruthless world where people mostly kept using the technology last produced before the crisis but still managed to devolve into almost cavemen levels in ways of having an Alpha, believing in afterlife, being primal and feeling the thrill of the hunt (scavange and plunder). there is less to say and more to see, as most of the world that i just described can all be explained by just images and without having someone expolaining it to the audience like we're watching Dora the explorer. The action is actually some of the best i've ever seen coreographed and the practical level of effects just makes it much more believeable. The soundtrack is so fitting for the adrenaline filled chase and for the emotional aspect of the characters. The lack of dialogue also shows that most of them already have been much through so much shit they trust nobody anymore, also they know if they get cought they get used like any other supplies, women are used for breeding and milking, men are used as soldiers to die at young age, even if they are sick, and the rest are left to dry in the desert. i rewatched it yesterday and i still think its a 8/10 really solid in what it wanted to do, i still get goose bumps for much of the action scenes, a masterpiece and a work to be remembered forever.

I enjoy this channel, and I’m the first to admit I don’t know that much about video games. Hell, I had to Google the Nemesis System after your Mad Max game review. That being said, however, maybe you should stick to game reviews until you get more film watching under your belt. Fury Road is one of the most masterfully designed films of the last 50 years. The story is there, George Miller just expects you to think for yourself and discover the story and themes thru critical thinking. This is a tragic drama through the filter of the most badass action movie ever made. While the action is relentless, you can’t turn your brain off with this like you would a Fast and Furious film. Mad Max: Fury Road is a distillation of everything Miller did beforehand with the series, and it’s a pillar of modern cinema.

This movie is all about distilling the feeling of adrenaline into film. Max is just a surrogate to bring us into the world, story and characters are all secondary. I feel like once Matty gets a broader experience with film, he will come to appreciate what this film does so well. Its uncompromising in its singular focus and that's what makes it great.

Ohhhhh these are some fighting words Matty 😭
