Have you seen the first 3 Mad Max films, or did you just jump into part 4 (Fury Road)? Not that it matters. Fury Road is kind of disconnected from the other 3. But Mad Max (1979), Mad Max 2: Road Warrior (1981), and Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome (1985) are worth watching. Sidenote: the film is vertically stretched in your reaction video. Don't know if that's to avoid copyright strikes or if it's an editing mistake.

Simply having ANY CGI AT ALL does not mean that the movie didn't use practical effects.. When they have real cars flipping or colliding with other cars and they CGI in some flames, you know.. Because the stunt driver doesn't need to literally die for the movie, it doesn't mean the effects 'are not practical'. This entire movie uses MOSTLY practical effects with things like background and depth added later. A lot of that has to do with the fact that the Namibian desert doesn't look like the Australian outback and it's hard to have real flames and explosions while you're trying to film a movie..

Fury Road is pretty much acknowledged by fans/critics/film historians as one of the greatest action films ever made. It's staggering what this film does visually, but also manages to make you really care for all the protagonists. Glad you enjoyed got to experience it - even though not in a cinema.

The most metal movie ever made. You recognize Max's voice because he was also Bane in Dark Knight Rises, Venom and many other movies.

The idea that Max is a character who we follow but is primarily just someone who wanders into a bigger story and ends up involving himself, usually against his will at first then by the end because he has a heart of gold, is really what the whole series is about. People got up in arms about this movie not being centered on Max enough, even though the first three films (especially the second and third) had already established the status quo. I think Miller has stated he intends Max to be like a folk hero, a lone wanderer type who people tell campfire stories about, so it makes sense that he always ends up wandering into some new adventure then promptly "continues on the path" once it's resolved.

Mad Max - obviously entirely around Max and his family and the early breakdown of society Road Warrior - Max makes several pretty big decisions to be part of the main plot. Yes there's a larger story he comes into that otherwise he wouldn't be part of, but his decisions really drive the plot. Thunderdome - I think most people recognize this as the weakest of the films even if it has its moments, but it's still Max making decisions and taking some initiative. He gets his car stolen and tracks it down to Bartertown (that's his initiative). He's got nothing of value but his skills which impresses Aunty to cut a deal to take down Master Blaster. (again, that's initiative, his choices with these situations are moving the plot forward). Max spares Blaster and exposes Aunty's deal to take down Master Blaster. Another choice that, this time, has negative consequences as he's banished and Master is imprisoned. He happens to be rescued by the feral kids and refuses to appease their fantasies, they get mad and some leave for Bartertown, and he goes after them knowing what kind of hell they're about to get caught up in. And, even the very end Max makes the final decision to save the kids with the pilot. ... This notion that Max has been a kind of side character in these movies is really not true, and one I feel people are making up to defend Fury Road from a very simple criticism that Max, in Fury Road, IS a side character to Furiosa in Fury Road. I don't know anyone who likes the earlier Mad Max films who doesn't like Fury Road, I love it and think it's fantastic storytelling and action and the rest of it... but I don't get 'Mad Max' from it. Very, very little of the movie is pushed by his choices and THAT is why it feels like it should have just been Furiosa's movie, because her decisions were driving practically everything. Max is captured (not a choice, obv), dragged around for a while (not choice) forced to go with these people (almost a choice, but not really) and really doesn't make a true choice that impacts plot until he says, "Let's go back the way we came"... and that's about it, really. Otherwise, he's kind of along for the ride with no choice in the matter. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, plenty of stories involve characters being put on that kind of a rail, but they still are active participants. Think of a movie like Snowpiercer... it's a train... they can't get off of it... a literal rail whereby the characters HAVE to progress through the train with no other option, yet the characters are still making choices as they go which drives the plot. Fury Road... those choices simply aren't being made by Max, which is offputting when it's called MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and not just FURY ROAD or FURIOSA or whatever.

And it's just silly to say stronger, why would making them stronger matter, like how does that make a believable movie, except to ideological maniacs. Mentally yes, fine. But physically is beyond getting ridiculous in movies these days. Having tiny little waifs beat up fully grown men is just inferiority complexes at work. Women have their own strengths that doesn't need to be measured against men. What I like about this film is they make the Max v Furiosa fight work because Max is hampered by the chains and the other girls. It was clever. If it was just Max v Furiosa without any handicaps, he would destroy her, even if she had 2 arms.

This film just shows the pointlessness of having characters(male or female) be strong for strong's sake. People forget that it has to serve the story.

There's a physical pain that goes along with everyone hating Michael Bay's descent into pure trash with Transformers. People's eyes are literally muscle-fatigued by his editing. It's "everything everywhere all at once" but NOT in the good way. Your eye tries to chase what's important in Transformers but it has no continuity so you're frustrated, it's just becoming noise, and you're being focus drained like a blood bag.

One of the best Action movies of the last years. And so much trivia around it: 1. The Director, George Miller, made the first one from money he earned as a doctor (in the ER I think). 2. It was the role that made Mel Gibson famous 3. Fury Road works without having seen any othe the three movies before but has a few nods to them. It helps to know that his wife and daughter died in the first one, though. It's the girl he keeps seeing. 4. The music was composed by dutch musician Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL. 5. The movie did not have much of a written script but it was an entire room full of storyboards because it is such a visual movie 6. George Miller directed "Babe: A Pig in the Big City" and "Happy Feet" before that. 7. Tom Hardy said he had no problems with heights when they filmed the parts with the long sticks on the war rigs. He lied. George Miller only found out after the shoot. 8. Most scenes and stunts are practical with real cars and trucks. CG is mostly used to enhance but overall most of what you see in this movie is real. 9. The actor who plays Immortan Joe also played one of the main antagonists in the first Mad Max 10 Those guys on the long sticks are from Cirque de Soleil The Style of the world is "Post Apocalyptic" BTW ^^

Sorry for correcting you but I am sure that the little girl from his flashbkacs is actually Glory, the daughter of Hoper. They both died in the 2015 video game Mad Max that is a sort of prequel tu Fury Road.

I wish I could forget I've seen this movie and watch it again for the first time.

Oh thank you for that sponge Bob edit I didn't know I needed... Perfection.

Greatest Action Film of The Century It proves why shooting things practically can have a massive impact on immersion

The Warboys shouting "V8! V8! V8! V8! V8! V8!" is so cool.

Best statement from Mary "I think the movie is about car racing..." You're in for a surprise. Great review and this film was edited by Margaret Sixel. 1st time she edited an action movie. Thanks for sharing Mary.

I usually dont like action movies. This one is a masterpiece tho. Completely unpologetic, non stop

Where's the GOT Night king when you need his Ice power to counter a planet-level sand storm.

The guy hissing at Furiosa at the end is none other than Martial Arts Action Movie legend RICHARD NORTON

They also released this film in Black and White. It adds another level somehow - the razor sharp contrast, and overall feel. It's called Fury Road: Black & Chrome edition. Playing I think off the chrome spray paint they huff before and during battle.

12:28 "We have a word for it in Dutch, not like 'loser', but like more in a sad way and not in a 'hate on him' way." Pitiful wretch?

I mean... they explain everything you need to know in this movie. You'll get some more context, like with his family, but it works perfectly fine as a stand alone.

They're pretty much all standalone films

I saw this movie in theaters and it was one of the best cinematic experiences I've ever had. This movie was easily the best action movie from the past decade and set a new standard going forward. It was so refreshing to see something like this. To this day I have a hard time believing that this movie actually exists.

Every time I watch a new action movie, I always jokingly say to my dad "well, it's no Mad Max Fury Road!"

I saw this at the big screen twice and the first time I walked out saying 'This was the greatest action movie I've ever seen'. The second time, the friend I brought with turned to me during the movie and said the same thing. :D

If I were a young woman trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world filled with violent men I'd keep that chastity belt on until I was good a settled somewhere safe.

Totally understand where you're coming from but i think it's reasonable they wanna get rid of the symbolisms it carries. That they are/were breeding toys and couldn't decide whom they slept with. These disgusting creeps had the keys to it and thus control over their body. So from a mental aspect i understand they yeeted that shit into the dunes but from a safety standpoint... Yep, I'd kept my coochie with fangs too.

Usually chastity belts aren't voluntary so you'd want to take it off at the earliest opportunity or you might not get another chance.

One of the greatest action movies ever and also manages to be a beautiful film. The moment where Max tells Furiosa his name is him reclaiming his humanity. That's why he's so emotional. Please watch Mad Max and The Road Warrior as well. TRW has often been cited as the best action film ever and has been a massive influence on film, music and television since its release largely for it's apocalyptic art style and the editing style used to depict the action sequences.

Only the first Mad Max movie is really about Max himself. The first movie is essentially his backstory, while the second, third, and fourth (this one) is essentially the legend of "Mad Max", the wandering feral stranger who is slowly learning to overcome his grief by helping other people, one at a time. The interesting thing about the franchise is that, all the movies except the first one are storytellers telling the story of Max (in Fury Road, the only hint of there being a storyteller was the text at the end). So you can see the first Mad Max as a raw and unfiltered view from Max's own perspective, while the other movies are stories passed down of people's experience of meeting this mysterious "Max".

Yay another Mary reaction

He might sound familiar because he played bane in batman. very talented actor.

Liked how from the beginning you had Nux pegged as an underachiever.

I woke up one Saturday and my roommate asked if I wanted to go see this. He said he had heard it was good. I was like, "Ehhhh...OK, I guess." Then my brain was vaporized...this movie is excellent.

29:24 -- Sacrifice for the right reason.... Is the ultimate form of redemption.. Nux finally knew what it was to be loved and cared about..

I love this movie, find the extra features, the story of hos this movie was made is literally amazing. Ive watched a half dozen reactions to this, yours was the best. WITNESS MEEEEEEEEE

I saw this in the theater on the WB lot and that sound system almost rattled the teeth out of my head lol

So glad you liked this. The first time I saw this, it just blew me away. Love your reaction. Stay well.

Gotta say, this may be the most genuine “reaction” video i have seen on youtube in a while, cheers!

@Mary #Mary -- Lots of folks ask, "Why didn't Max stay?" ... Because that's what a hero does. If they didn't move on, they wouldn't be there for someone else. There will always be lots of people who need a hero. But heroes are in short supply.

The actor that played Immortan Joe, is the same one who played the villain in the very first Mad Max movie. (1979)

One of the best action films ever made. Raiders, Die Hard, The Matrix, Fury Road (special mention for T2)

I love the tenderness Capable shows Nux when she finds him at the back of the War Rig

I don't have to imagine watching this in the cinema, I had watched this there!

You are right: it was a crazy and beautiful cinema experience.

I think how T2 Judgement day was THE action movie of the 90s, I think this movie encapsulates the 2010s best action movie.

The director, George Miller, also made Happy Feet, in case you're still looking for a "sweet movie" after this :D

You have never heard of Mad Max?!? This is the 4th installment of a franchise of films. The first 3 made Mel Gibson famous! The first, Mad Max, tells the tale of Officer Max Rockatansky, an Australian highway patrol officer as the world begins running out of resources. The Road Warrior (aka Mad Max 2) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome tell his further tales after Australia suffers the effects of WWIII happening in the Northern Hemisphere.

The style you are searching for is apocalyptic diesel-punk. Like cyberpunk is to computers, diesel-punk is to cars. Fun reaction! Excellent movie.

5:56 Mary is ready to ROCK! Let's fcking GO! 🤘

7:00 the word you are looking for is probably “dieselpunk”, post apocaliptic dieselpunk. Maybe? Also, yes they exactly hired Cirque du Soleil for the pole guys.

Max was only the main character in the first film. Every film after that he's like a nameless drifter who wanders upon and gets involved in other people's problems.

He didn't stay because Mad Max is a road warrior, helps out where he can and goes on his way, or he dies trying.

I love how the doctor's name is the "organic mechanic".

Mad Max: Road Warrior with Mel Gibson from 1981 is great too, a similar themed film that Fury Road is basically a re-make of, updated with a modern era super budget.

@@MovieswithMary Sorry to hear that! Copyright law has always been a mess, but it's been decades since it was hijacked by content hoarders like Disney, and now it's also patently (lol) unfit-for-purpose in the remix/reaction age. It needs a re-write from top-to-bottom, to make it both functional in the modern context and to bring it back to its "public interest" raison d'etre. BTW, I think the term you might have been looking for to describe Nux's character would be a "patsy" (a gullible/naive character involved in evil-doing but without bearing much personal responsibility for it)/"sad sack" (an earnest character who tries hard but never quite manages to get it right, often due to bad luck. A character the universe really seems to have it out for). Thanks for another great reaction! Love that you saw this with no prep. Not that you can be truly prepared for it, but going in with zero knowledge of what Miller's about to hit you with is amazing.

7:07 I think the word you're looking for is "scrappunk". It's a type of distopic fiction where all the technology is reduced to rusty scraps.

Also, Yes! Those are indeed Cirque du Soleil performers

Beautiful story and stunning cinematograohy. Thanks for the fun moments during this snow filled afternoon.

"What a day what a lovely day" it always is when somebody watches Mad Max for the first time or any other classic for that matter 👌👍

"Dieselpunk" is probably the name of the art-style you're thinking of. Fury Road isn't 100% that, but it borrowed a lot.

Contender for the greatest action movie of all time and it came out at a time when action was dead.

The old mad max movies are great too Glad you are reacting to this movie, Tom hardy is a great actor

Mary, regarding your question at 15:26, yes, it's for real. If you've never watched any Monster Truck content, I would recommend it. It's absurd, but also a LOT of fun. You can find some by searching for "Monster Jam" on youtube. Along the same lines, I would also recommend looking for some "rock bouncer" videos on youtube. Rock Bouncers are absurd in a similar way, and are basically drag racing up a steep hill covered in rocks, trees, etc some of which involves going fast enough to launch the vehicle up a sheer rock face to get further up the hill.

This movie stands well on its own, without the benefit of having seen any of the other movies, but a lot of your questions about Max are answered in the earlier films. Mad Max provides context for who he is and why he is the way he is, as well as what the world was like immediately before the collapse. The Road Warrior (Mad Max II internationally) provides context for who he became, post apocalypse and the world we see in Fury Road. In my opinion, you can take or leave Beyond Thunderdome, as It adds nothing to the franchise, but I’d recommend the other two.

Oh yeah. Beyond Thunderdome - what an odd one in the series. George Miller lost his friend and producer Byron Kennedy before starting production but decided to still pick it up and finish it with another producer, George Oglivie. The film feels different. Not so much the first half and the finale. But somewhere along the line it suddeny turns into Peter Pan in Mad Max land and it's a reailly weird feeling. Still has some memorable scenes but overall it's by far the weakest in the series. My favorite fun fact from the movie is that Tina Turner wasn't able to drive stickshift but only automatic so they had to rebuild her car for the last few scenes in which she can be seen driving. :D

This is kind of the formula for every Mad Max Film, jaded Max walks into the middle of someone's situation. He doesn't want to help people because he thinks there's no point anymore. Eventually, his better nature comes through and he helps out. He necessarily doesn't get rewarded and is left alone again to wander, however he takes some solace in the fact that he left things a little better than he found it.

MAd Max is the ultimate Road Warrior. He can fight to solve problems and help to bring peace or fix what's broken, but he can't enjoy the result. Thus he's always on the Road in search of his better self. Haunted by the voice in his head. The loved ones he failed to save.

@27:27 As a matter of fact, yes, they did hire Cirque du Soleil.

Dearest Mary, please consider, as long as you’re jumping in to movies you know nothing about, ‘Friday Night Lights,’ the film.

"If I were Max, I'd be mad, too." 🤣
