Sounds pretty mediocre.

Sounds pretty mediocre.

Axe Cop is better.

Axe cop is amazing.

Yeah my girlfriend read the comic and said it was complete shit.

There just wasn't anything to tell. They should've done a gaiden story instead of doing character backstories that could only turn out in very obvious ways.

I'm actually curious as to how Furiosa gained her position.  She's an outsider, a woman, and missing part of her arm, and yet a bunch of warbros loyally follow her until it is well beyond obvious that she has betrayed them.  What did she do to earn that kind of respect?

Kicked ass? She probably lost her arm after she had already gotten her reputation, and Immortan had the organic mechanic replace it because she was just that valuable.

Finally got my ass into a theater to see this. Holy shit. After the sandstorm part was over, I checked my pulse and it was around 110. I can't remember the last time an action movie actually elicited that kind of physical response.

Couple of things I haven't seen mentioned:

1. The Doof Warrior's flamethrower guitar? That was a real double-neck guitar. With a real flamethrower. That the guy actually played at 70mph while in a bungee harness. If that alone isn't fucking metal enough to watch this movie, I'm not sure what is.

2. It was an incredibly brutal movie, yet managed to avoid becoming gore porn or ridiculously bloody. And yet, didn't feel like it was pulling punches either.

3. The clock is now ticking to make a WH40K movie while Miller is still alive to direct it. Because no other human being has such a clear understanding of what it means to be Orky. They'd have to be careful about making the announcement of such a movie, lest legions of fanboys die from acute squee.

4. They've already got the sequel written, and given the success of Fury Road, I expect it to be greenlit soon, if it hasn't already.

5. Brain still broken trying to reconcile the fact that Miller's other major movie besides the Mad Max franchise was Happy Feet.

6. Did anybody else find themselves unconsciously wanting to swerve into other cars driving home from the theater?

This is the best thing.

Taken further!

That nose hole cracks me up way too much. Clearly this combination was meant to be.

The funny thing is, while I don't watch Adventure Time... it seems like the kind of show that would actually do a thinly veiled crossover episode.
