Mr Toecutter was back in supreme form.  Shame the Max character wasn't.  Like you go though through the whole film, risking your life for some nice young lovelies, kill the baddies, the whole world as your oyster, then walk off?  Bollocks.
Howard_Casto:
At least he didn't go on a rant blaming the Jews for his current fuel crisis.  ;)

saw it last night, loved it.  They did a good job creating a culture of people who really believed in what they were doing, as twisted as it was.  The cars were crazy and cool, and despite the passive behavior of Max the whole time, I liked the subtlety of his character.  The only thing I didn't like was how they messed up the interceptor.  If they had not destroyed it, you could say this took place sometime between the first and second movies.  As for him walking away, I hate that he did but it is true to the Mad Max character so I couldn't complain.  He is a road warrior and can't settle down anywhere.

I went to see this last night and really enjoyed it.  It's neither a sequel nor a remake so any lack of apparent continuity in anything is no big deal.  I was excited to see it because it picks up on all the elements that made Mad Max 2 a success and pushes these to '11' on the sensory dial.  A very basic plot coupled with a post apocalyptic vision full of ingenuity, horror, humor and mythology.  It's worth seeing just for the amazing vehicles and incredible chase scenes alone. The story here may begin with Tom Hardy's Max but it is Charlize Theron's Imperator Furiosa that not only steals the show but is the driving force (pun intended) throughout.  What a great female character.  The flip on just who is central to the story is what makes this great, it's not just a rehash with predictable familiarity, it's a powerhouse performance which lingers on long after the final fade on her face.
See it on a big ass screen with bigger ass sound  ;D.
