Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.
Let's fucking goooooo
i was excited but i heavily question the casting choices. i wish the just cast charlize theron again she was perfect, she could play early 20s still. also that trailer looks rough, where are my practical effects? also hemsworth is just thor to me with that hair and beard.
His hair + beard + sleeveless top + red cape is a really weird choice, he looks just like Thor!
Wow so they didn't bring back mad MAX instead it's angry MAXINE I won't be watching this woke SJW trash
Looks like Miller is still leaning on the grifty CGI from what I was seeing. It might be a good action romp, but I'm not expecting more than 300 with internal combustion aesthetics. This could be so much more than that, but we'll have to see what comes.
Now this is the slop I have been waiting for.
I didn't think they'd actually go through with this, since IIRC Fury Road wasn't that profitable despite universal acclaim.

Also Fury Road was bad so I'd hoped cooler heads would prevail, rip
Fury Road wasn't that profitable despite universal acclaim.
Budget $154.6–185.1 million
Box office $380 million
Sure it wasn't raking in several times its budget, but that's not terrible. There are movies that don't even make back their budget.
Also Fury Road was bad
imagine not calling it "mediocre!!!" 
Here's Wiki's citation about Fury Road having lost $20-$40 million, probably due to marketing costs and such. It's not a huge bomb by any stretch, but to lose money after all that box office take... so it needed to take 3-4× its budget to break even. lol
Idk if that's a joke or something, I just didn't think it was very good. Amazing how it's just the tanker bit from Road Warrior stretched out into two hours or whatever, but more boring?
It's one of my top 5 action movies of all time. They just don't make movies like that anymore period, and judging by the trailer of this one, even it's sequel gave up on doing stunt work.
If you're saying real action isn't profitable and shouldn't happen anymore, then that just sucks 
Oh, no I was actually surprised when I learned it lost money. It was a huge hit, so I was like, how did it LOSE MONEY? Hollywood moment I guess...
Theoretically I should like it, I love Mad Max and The Road Warrior. I found it kind of clean and shiny looking (and also waaaaay too orange) though, in spite of all the hubbub about the practical effects. I love stunt work and practical stuff, but Idk here... the 3D 'moments' in Fury Road are pure cringe imo :)
It would be rad if they did more than one cool action movie with big cars. Fury Road should not spell any sort of death for the genre.
The only cringe 3d moment I can think of is the clearly all cgi guitar blasting out of the screen near the end of the movie and I agree with you those kind of shots are definitely cringe.
I agree they should make more movies like fury road but I can't help but think that the studio screwing them over a ton of money and blaming them for production delays caused by the kind of real world production work they were doing is a small glimpse into why no one makes movies like that anymore. Too much risk and no reward other than appreciation from a handful of movie dorks who prefer watching real stuff over fake CGI action.
So in writing there's a bit of advice I've seen thrown around where you ask yourself, "is this the most exciting part of my character's life?" And if the answer is "no", you make your story about the most exciting part instead.
I feel far less enthusiastic about this as I would be about another Mad Max with a different character, or even a total spinoff film in that universe, because we fukken know the most exciting part of Furiosa's life already. Who cares about dumb bullshit like how she lost her arm, or why she started shaving her head? The answer to both of those question is "because they wanted to convey to the viewer visually that she's a badass desert warrior woman".
The decision to go ahead with this movie smacks of Hollywood conservatism - we can't do anything new, so let's just riff on things we know people already like.
