Looks at least like it will be as good or better than the first two films the preview alone is already far superior to the third film.

Of course you never know for sure so I never allow myself to get too hyped about a film. I just go in expecting to be entertained. In this day and age people get deep into hyping. I'm thinking that this will follow the feel set in the second film and what the third film tried to capitalize on but failed.

Yep and done on purpose to make for a nice opening weekend for a film that's more expectations but delivers nothing or very little.

As you I expect to be entertained by a movie and I usually watch something that grabs my interest..not because it's being screamed out loud on the television, social media etc etc.

I'll watch it just because it's a Mad Max thing.
:D

I'll also be watching the VFX. I'd bet money Houdini was used.
I've just started using Houdini and it's wild what you can do that Max and Maya just can't shake a stick at.
:yep:

I wonder as well how much CGI the will use. Of course good bit but Miller is famous for using live action stunts as well and evidence implies that there will be a good deal of it this film too. So im guessing a nice balance of CGI and live action.

Interesting to see if they can pull it off.

I mean, lets be real, most of the good 80s and early 90s action stuff were B+ movies. Commando, Robocop, Mad Max, Predator, they all had that tongue-in-cheek approach and I think that element is missing from a lot of movies these days. They simply take themselves too seriously.

Maybe it works, maybe it doesnt. Looking at how poorly the other reboots have done, I don't hold my breath. Will see it eventually just out of curiosity.

It'll sure be different without Gibson though...and no matter how bad the third film was, it has its place.

Yeah nowadays, if you go in with low expectations it'll probably be a good movie. If not, (like me), you get disappointed at yourself for spending 10$ on certain movies.

I think it will be kind of like the 4th Bourne movie.
Matt wasn't the main character but it was still a good watch.
Granted it had a whole new character and was a side plot type deal.

007 keeps rolling with what? 17 different James Bonds now?
:hmmm:

It keeps rolling and no matter how good Daniel Craig (or insert other Bond name here) is...he'll never be better than Connery.

But same idea, I'll still watch it and probably like it... :hmmm:

Most Reboots of recently haven't been made by for example the same writer/director. I don't think Miller is someone who is going to mess it up big time but then again I could be wrong.

I do agree on the fact that most movies these days and reboots are trying to have that ''People are awesome'' Factor with characters that take themselves too seriously. Nearly invulnerable, indestructable always on top doing nothing wrong untill that bit near the end where ''ow noess he might....ow..no scratch that he's fine'' moment happens for a brief moment.

While I find Connory is very classy, it's imo not as good as Daniel Craig who does a very good job being very close to the novel Bond then any before him. As the above I found most previous bonds to be nearly intouchable whilst Craig doesn't show he is but shows to be quite destructive for his surroundings and himself. While Goldeneye due nostalgic reasons for me is one of my favorite installments the Casino Royale and Skyfall are right up there in the Top 3 and hopefully Spectre will join that soon.

I'm with Hunter here.
Not that I don't like Connery as Bond, I just hate the goofines and outright unbelievability in the early bonds and the nineties Bonds.

Connery had laser wielding villains in volcanoes, Brosnan had watches that cut steel and shoot triping wires.
Craig chased down a parkour expert with an excavator. Action, not fairy tales.

Have to agree with the others on Craig he is a more gritty get the job done at any cost Bond. Much closer to the books character.

As to Mad Max I didn't mean that I have low expectations I'd not waste my time if I felt a film was sure to be crap. I mean that I approach a film with neutral feelings and an open mind. I'm not going in expecting them to have read my mind and made the exact film I want as this impossible even if I had a huge budget as all films are edited and things are cut and changed.
