I wouldnt say amazing, but it was ok. The sound was a bit off, not sure if it was just my cinema but it was very front focused and not a lot at the sides.

I really liked the red head.

Red hair is my kryptonite anyway but she is mint. :wub:


Seeing this again on IMAX. Just stunning.

Loved Hardy's take. Very gruff and minimalist.

Yeah, same. Much preferred Herr Gibson's Max than Hardy's. Tom has a really funny way of running, too.

I don't think it was just you, I was trying to figure out why some of the action scenes lack impact for me as the action was really cool, this would explain it.

think it was your screens guys. for example the sound/visual spectacle in the dust storm absolutely floored me - i was sitting there with my mouth open.

I really wish I'd seen it during the opening week. It was off the Atmos screen by the time I got around to it. I can only imagine how spectacular it would have been on that!

Saw it last night and I'm not entirely sure where all the love is coming from.
It was a decent action movie with an excellent soundtrack and visual style.
What acting there was was good, if not great.
Tom Hardy's accent was all over the place, but with so little dialogue it's hard to judge.
It was all appropriately mental and while it's probably been about 20 years since I saw a Mad Max movie it certainly seemed to "fit" with the others.
The action was good. But I just felt it was lacking something. For instance I can't really think of any specific stunts or sequences that I thought were especially stand out. It seemed to find a level of action, but never really stepped it up at all. Made it feel a bit flat.
I think it would have benefited from being about ten minutes or so shorter.

So in the end I'm not sure where I stand with it. On the one hand I did really enjoy it, but on the other I came out feeling a touch disappointed. 7.5/10
