Wow...loved it...wow!

These guys loved it too:

Seriously, I have always regarded 'Road Warrior' as one of the best action films of all time. Mad Max Fury Road is a wonderful reboot made by the man who created the original.

If I weren't on this stupid vacation, I would have already gone back for another view. Soon, Furiosa, I will see you again.

We saw Age of Adeline the other night - there are worse things than spending 2 hours in a dark room looking at Blake Lively...

I was saying the other day that I don't really want movies to make me think or remind me of anything, just some laughs and good explosive shoot-em-ups and I'm all set. I don't really need Mark Duplass to make me feel bad about my relationships or whatever - I can do that on my own. Mad Max delivered in spades.

The flamethrowing guitarist got me every time.

That's exactly what my Mrs said, that she couldn't remember the last movie she saw where she didn't think of anything else for 2 hours and just let herself be entertained.

The guitarist in Mad Max was a combination of amazing/hilarious. I wanted to make fun of it but it was so awesome and fit so well that I couldn't.

Totally spotted him in that trailer months ago and knew it would be absurd. Loved the fight using him as distraction as he keeps trying to start up his riffs again

I saw it a second time. It lost a little bit of luster, but still pretty amazing.

Hope they make a few more Max movies in the near future. If Miller gets busy doing other movies like he's rumored to doing a DC movie, what about Mel Gibson directing one of the movies?
