I enjoyed it. Any hope that the upcoming series spin off is good?
I like the character, but the trailer for Furiosa looked pretty bad visually. I don't have high hopes for all that CG.
Just saw it because of the comments about the cg and yeah...that really dampened my hype
Yeah, I know. It wouldn't have been quite as jarring if Fury Road wasn't so great specifically due to its use of practical effects. It's like when they made the prequel to The Thing full of CG. I'm hoping that Furiosa has a long of pre-vis CG and that once it's fully baked, it looks a bit better.

The movie does a great job of depicting a rape-based society without putting any sexual violence on-screen. If you watch Redlettermedia's BOTW series you learn that a lot of B movie directors (I'm not calling George Miller B tier) use their script as an excuse to do creepy stuff to actresses.

I almost never see a SA in media and think that it helped the story or added anything. Ya, I'm almost of the mindset that SA can be kept off scene, especially when done by male directors.
Yeah, I've seen some horrible shit done by cis male directors where it feels like snuff. I think it should be scrutinized to the greatest degree when a director wants to include such a scene.
The first time I watched Fury Road I was on acid and didn't know anything about it beforehand. It was such a profound experience that my whole perspective on media changed. The shitty part is that filming it was hell for everyone involved b/c of extensive use of practical vehicles (they actually built almost every car in the movie) and working in the middle of a literal desert for the whole process. So when people complain about the trailer for the Furiosa film having "too much CGI" it just seems silly. Miller correctly decided not to put everyone through that shit again and if the stories are anything to go by, that's easily the correct choice. Plus it still looks pretty good, I will get ungodly high and go see it opening night with my friends 
Gonna be real, I didn't know about the cgi until this post and just looked at the trailer for the first time and gotta really disagree here. It looks like a fucking MCU film. Real stuff looks real cause it is. You don't need to film in a real dessert, just dump a bunch of sand somewhere that looks close enough.
I agree 1000% with you. It's become my most rewatched movie. It might be the best action movie ever made and will probably always deserve a place in the top 5 action movies of all time for as long as movies are still being made. An absolute cinematic masterpiece.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
George miller is a fucking boss.
My favorite fact about him is when he was making the first mad max, the on set medic was like “this is too dangerous, no” and miller was like “I used to be a doctor, I say we’re good”
My brother and I saw it as a matinee on a lark over christmas break, completely blind. 10 years later we're still talking about it
Meh.
The protagonist is either not Max, despite the amount of screen time he's given it could just as well be considered Furiosa or even the war boy who betrays the others, or he is a protagonist with zero development. Both kind of suck for a coherent narrative.
I can understand it being perfect for specific tastes, though.
I couldn't get 30 seconds into it without rolling my eyes and turning it off
