In a comic book.
With the case of Fury Road knowing less is more the comic prequel was kinda shit. I'd rather him focus on something else but w/e.
Also I never watched a Mad Max prior to Fury Road and don't intend to fix that. Cuz I know that'll make some people mad.

im there for anything George Miller does. this movie was badass so i'm there for the next one.
sad Theron won't be in the next one tho. she's one of my all time film crushes and she crushed that movie.

I have to agree Fury Road is overrated, I was hyped when I first watched it because of the long wait for a new Mad Max flick and because of the movie being a visual masterpiece. The rewatch wasn't so good, I was bothered by Max barely saying anything and the movie not having a solid plot.
You're so right. That scene was ballet with motorbikes and grenades. It gave me EMOTIONS, man, when I saw it in the theater. It thrilled me because I could not believe they managed to film it. It blew my mind that it could be done. I never get this reaction with CGI scenes, because with CGI you can do anything so where's the awe?

Fury Road story was basic as fuck and yet it still was an amazing movie. Who cares if it's an easy prequel story. Give me awesome action and I am in like Flynn.

I’m all for a simple story full of action. But I’d rather see the setting expand than revisit the Citadel. I think we saw enough of it in Fury Road since the worldbuilding was delivered in an efficient manner.
Also, I am mad there is no Max.

I hope they will expand out of the citadel. Maybe we will see the bullet farm etc.

Mad Max Fury Road is not about story. It's about style and spectacle, both of which are fueled by a huge budget, oscar-worthy practical effects, stunts, costumes and set design (they actually built all those vehicles and drove them for real).
Yet, the story isn't actually too flat. There is a pretty interesting theme to it, which portraits the weaknesses of men and masculinity and how absurd and pathetic they sometimes appear.
If you watch it with this mindset, you could probably have a good time with it.

I like it!
Anyway, once human cloning is legalized we won't have to cast new actors for old roles in the same way we do now.

Fan of the franchise.
In Fury Road, Max is meant to be as old as Immortan Joe, as both are people old enough to have been around as adults before the society collapsed. Tom Hardy was thus too young for the part. It's the only flaw with the movie: you have to imagine Max as a much older man, like Gibson would have been. Otherwise the background info given about Max being a police officer before the Apocalypse doesn't make sense.

Questionable timing when the theaters are closed what does a mad max hardcore fan do with this information? the last mad max was a HUGE hit, worriying about the cast is interesting
That's not how I see the story at all, especially since the script was written in something like 1997, so way before the #metoo mindset infected Hollywood. Max saves everybody in the end, as the women were heading towards the dried-up ocean and certain death.
The story is instead a classic tale of the fall of a kingdom, where the villain, obsessed with the necessity to have a heir, loses through this obsession the very kingdom he wanted to bequeath to his son. It's a classic tragedy storyline.
It wasn't a huge hit, sadly, which is why there hasn't been a sequel yet. It made so-so money based on what must have been the studio's expectations.

I remember the forum making a big deal about it but I respect your post.
