I must be the only descending opinion in the freaking world on this one but i saw it last Thursday and I gotta say.....meh. Yeah, it was a TWO FREAKING HOUR CAR CHASE!....but it was a car chase that lasted two hours. That's not a movie...that is NASCAR. Don't get me wrong, it was better than Beyond Thunderdome...but doesn't hold a candle to The Road Warrior. Now, I am 20 years older so I may be a bit jaded....but I expect more from a movie. And Tom Hardy? Did not care for his portrayal. Now, that is more likely the script and the director's fault, but he said like 100 fricking words the whole movie. It was really Charleze Theron's movie. Mad Max was just in it as a poor tie-in to the franchise. Speaking of Charleze Theron....she was fantastic in the movie. As always. In fact, my personal opinion here is George Miller TOTALLY BLEW a huge opportunity here. They should have COMPLETELY re-booted the franchise with Charleze as MAXINE Rockatansky. An Australian Highway Patrolman whose husband and child are brutally murdered by an outlaw biker gang. She now gets the car, the BLOWER, the anger and the murderous rampage. That would have been TOTALLY FRESH, brought in a new (female) audience and still kept the existing audiences of Mad Max fans and action movie fans. George...I love ya, but ya blew it, man. 6/10 stars.
There was so much visual and audio stimulation that any kind of story or plot to follow would have made it exhausting.
I read somewhere that they have enough material for 2 more scripts and a sequel is already in the works, originally titled Mad Max: Furiosa but changed to Mad Max: The Wasteland. So you might get your wish (kind of) after all.

yeah I wouldn't doubt it as they never went to the bullet farm or gas town. they just skirted both places.
The gigahorse... that's the one, that thing is freaking insane edit... something strange happened with the coding.
It's so cool to me that everything was real, very very little CGI (compared to most films nowadays) and most of the actors and actresses did all their own stunts. They built 150 cars for this movie. 150 actual driving cars.
That's why I like the movie so much, you can tell its all real and not just shooting in front of a green screen.
even though I hate nascar, it is actually surprisingly very hard. But, wait what.. hard? gotta think about it for a second and realize that turning left all the time is very very easy... so easy that if you screw up even the very slight bit it can mean the different between getting passed or passing cars. Its also exhausting as crap do the same thing over and over. though you don't go to a nascar race to watch a race, you just go there to get drunk as hell and hang out. most cars from what I remember have specific tubular frame for certain tracks because that makes the difference in a thousandths of a second a lap which can mean being first or rammed in the middle of the pack.
It's hard on the drivers and it's hard on the viewers. It requires a ton of determination and endurance from both to make it to finish. I know why the drivers do it, they're paid insane money to drive a car for a couple of hours. For viewers, if you're not just having it on the background while drinking or going to watch it live as if it's a concert of sorts where you just get wasted then what's the point? Also, getting drunk and seeing a big crash...
