how's the pace? is it one of those shaky camera fast editing braindead kind of modern action movies? if so, then I'm not really interested.

Hey guys,

So I managed to catch the film. Whoa, I actually enjoyed it.

I really wasn't expecting to like it at all. Thankfully, Tom Hardy handles most of the action. Charlize Theron shoots some guys and she is the impetus for most of the events of the story, but her participation isn't so overexagerrated that I was shaking my head in disbelief at every turn. The female road Warriors were dropping like flies, so I can't really say it was as grrrrllll power as I thought it was going to be.

Warning: Tom hardy is only 1 of 2 male good guys, so if you don't like a largely female cast in an action movie I totally understand.

The visuals were great. I think guys who like metal will appreciate some of the make up ( ) and the near constant references to Valhalla from the bad guys. There is also a bad ass guitar player guy who is shredding it up on top of a car as the road battles happen. It was cheesy as hell, but definitely in keeping with a bizarro post-apocalyptic cult setting.

Was it the best movie of all time? Hell no, but it was enjoyable. I found the car combat to be refreshing. Virtually all of the combat occurs on the road. There are two scenes (one of which is implied) where there is fighting on the ground; otherwise, it's mostly guys throwing explosives, cars ramming each other, big rigs crushing puny, wimpy cars and general carmageddon mayhem.

Fortis, we are missing some important facts.



Are the women WB material?

The damsels of the movie? WB if they weren't pregnant.

CNN reports on the ROK article by Aaron Clarey:

This is picking up steam. Mainstream media is noticing. The issue is out there, and this is now getting big.

Even small minorities like us can influence the debate. It can take years of labor. But faith in an idea and fanatical effort over a long period will reap rewards if that idea is based on truth.

Anyone who says otherwise is a gutless worm with no heart, or a hater.

Captain Capatalism's article should be put up in the RoK Hall of Fame near Forney's tattoo article and Tuth's short hair one just for the amount of pushback it's getting in MSM. It's also gotten thousands of comments from the enraged hamsters like the others. I would be curious to see traffic data on the site since the article was posted.

[IvanDrago]

Is there a possibility that these MSM articles are just native advertizing to get more butts in the seats due to the "controversy"?

Props to Clarey



The MSM and SWJs worried that the strategy they've been playing for so long, trashing their opponents, is leading to the same thing happening to them. SJWs love to boycott anything they don't approve of, so what happens when we flip the script on them? They HATE it. Labeling Clarey an MRA - I don't think he is, nor is he a PUA, but they're attempts to discredit or attack what they don't like. They also tried the tired "REAL MEN can handle a move with a girl lead" or whatever.

The NYT, WSP, WSJ, CNN, etc are all bleeding readers and viewers and their extinction is nigh.

I started a new thread for discussion on ROK's Mad Max article: http://www.rooshvforum.network/thread-47512.html

This thread can stay focused on the movie.

Reading this gets me pretty amped.

And of course she pushes the Mad Max theme to promote the Global Warming scam - she came in a private jet to that event, because the carbon tax is only painful to the lower 90%.


BTW - is that a black adopted baby? Ah - well - nevermind if the likes like Madonna adopt poor babies around the world like Hermes purses. They can certainly afford it and are actually doing some good.

Also someone should show her that graph with regard to Global Warming:



By the estimates of Al Gore we should all be dead by now and the world should resemble a Mad Max desert.

It's hard to explain just what True Femininity used to be to younger guys, and why banging modern women - no matter how beautiful - can sometimes feel like a Homosexual relationship.

Bruce Willis doesn’t look good in a dress.

SPOILERS

I saw the film last night. I’m a big Mad Max fan, I loved Mad Max 1 & 2 and I hated 3.

The film is actually very entertaining, but Max isn’t the star of the film. Charlize Theron’s character (Imperator Furiosa) is. Max is basically a supporting character.

• Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron have equal billing at the start of the film
• Charlize Theron is driving most of the time
• There’s a scene where they have the opportunity to make Max look like a badass. He’s asked to go and get some supplies from some guys in another vehicle. Instead of seeing him kicking the shit out of some other guys, we see him walk off into the distance and then come back covered in their blood.
• Near the end of the film there’s a scene where the man bad guy’s son Rictus (a huge built fucker) gets into a fight with a woman in her 50s. This fight lasts more than a few seconds, which is total bullshit
• Charlize Theron ends up killing Immortan Joe (the main bad guy) - Max gets nowhere near him.
  

I bet if the same film was made without “Mad Max” in the title, it wouldn’t do as well at the box office.

[Yatagan]

A lot of the leftist imbeciles in the comments section are really hung up on Clarey saying Mad Max is part of American culture(which it is), as if he meant that Americans created it.

I guess by the same token, Pizza isn't part of American cuisine because of it's Italian origin?

The thing is, were those five girls the only cute girls in that King's entire Citadel?

He could've just, y'know, let them escape and just dealt with it. There were other females around, there must have been, he could've just staged a beauty contest among the commoners, given them a bit of water to wash up, and start again.

If you think about it really this King's downfall, after he built this huge impressive society, was just the King's failure to deal with his scarcity mentality.

Who wouldn't want to live atop those mountaintops, drinking mother's milk getting fresh produce being pampered?

Gotta build a bigger harem man! He had fiveitis.

Ungrateful bitches...

Okay, so here's the score my brother.

Let's just say that the Apocalypse happens about 40 years from now.

Feminism has well and truly taken over the world. Men have decided (about 10 yerars earlier) 'Fuck it. Let's let them fucken vagina wielding psychopaths run shit.'

Within about 3 weeks, the world has gone to shit. Now we have a Mad Max-exque free for all. Masculine men have decided to run to the hills, regroup and rebuild.

Fast forward a few years.

Go out, pinch the last few remaining decent looking broads to repopulate.

Win.

That's what Fury Road would look like if it was based in reality.

[Hotline]

I didn't think I would enjoy the movie after skimming the thread, but I did.

The plot is driven by Charlize Theron's attempt to liberate the wives of Immortan Joe, the warlord who controls the water in the desert, and Max becomes an accomplice out of self-interest.

I didn't find the movie to be overly blue pill or pro-feminist. There's lots of redpill facets, for example, one the wives repeatedly tries to abort the escape and return to Immortan Joe when things get hairy.

It's an era where resources are so scare, people kill or capture anyone or anything to survive. This includes sex and reproduction, which the warlord monopolizes, and the women want to escape from. "Human behaviors change, human nature does not."

The title of this flick should have been "Mad Maxi and Her Pads".

Maybe not a huge flop, but it very much under performed in the US on opening weekend.

We were too late into the fray to have any impact on the opening weekend. It's the second-weekend drop-off that will be interesting. Anything over 70% means bad word of mouth and, most likely, no sequel. Over 80%, and it's an outright rejection of the film by audiences. If it tops 87%, you've beaten dud films like 'Gigli' and 'Return To The Blue Lagoon'.

I'm expecting at least 50%.

For contrast, an audience word-of-mouth hit like 'Inception' only dropped 19% in its second week. Most films aimed towards younger audiences are your best bet for holding relatively-steady between your first and second week.

That glee movie made more money so far the opening weekend, Pitch Perfect 2. Right now the movie is expected to make 41 mil this weekend. Not exactly blockbuster sales.

Given the hype, I was expecting 90+. Really, 41 million, on a budget of 150 million, not counting the marketing budget?

They'll be counting on the international box office to put this one in the black.

64 mil for PP2 and it already broke even with a budget of 29 mil. Max got about 24.6 mil over seas.
