Quick question...what was the breast milk pumping for?

To make me gag while I ate my popcorn. I think it was a delicacy in their world essentially. There would be very little food or nutrition in post apocalyptic world so milk of any type would be sought after.

pretty sure the hot chicks were to make the babies and the ugly ones were used to pump milk and feed the babies.

How many other post apocalyptic car chase movies addressed breast milk farming? None.

Yup. Pretty sure they were taking it to trade with bullet farm and other town as well. Wasn't a main part of the movie though

Gastown. Where they have the guzzoline.

Duh.

 

[Sabertooth]

C'mon. Even Tanner said it's okay. Have you seen his track record of panning everything? If he's saying it's okay we're clearly looking at a masterpiece.

For an action movie it was very good. In the grand scheme of things it was fair.

Did you not see the scene where the girls cut off their chastity belts?

[Koya]

Maybe this movie just draws a similar sort of cult thing that avatar did? There were lots of people that really got into the world that was created and forgave the movie for lack of a plot or dialogue. There was one fbg here that almost got to the hysterical obsession level with it. Was one of the stranger subplots I can remember here.

I cut this thing off at the 60% point. Can't see ever investing more time in my life to rewatch it or finish it out.

That's when it finally started paying off (outside of the visual impact of things)

 

[Koya]

There's something to be said for knowing exactly what the goal of a movie is and then executing it flawlessly.

Cramming a bunch of backstory and dialogue into this movie wouldn't have improved it.

Actually it would have.

I agree. I still don't really know nor care that much about Max. Would have made a movie with some huge pluses an actual complete movie, IMO.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I was watching HBO and Fury Road came on and my wife and mother in law were groaning about how completely awful it was. I explained that no, it's a good film with lots of award nominations. They said "Yea, right".

The next night, my wife and mother in law were watching the Golden Globes and I explained that "yes, that's Fury Road that was nominated for Best Picture and Best Director". Boy did they look stunned.

 

[AnonymousBob]

So they just left the fat chicks behind? Only rescued the hot ones?

Would you have it any other way?

 

[The General]

You know what Schindler's List needed? More action, perhaps a car chase to complete the storytelling.

Didnt figure you would answer.

Can't bring along such a potential threat to your food supply.

 

[Koya]

However, if you have the resources, they are great backup for when you are in a pinch and NEED a food supply.

 

[shadyridr]

Definitely better than star wars

Yeah because someone has a different opinion than you they are immediately fishing.97% on RT compared to 93% for Star Wars so my opinion isn't even outlandish.

Put me down in this camp as well. I liked Star Wars am super nerd about it but thought Fury Road was a better movie.

will someone educate me here: the tomato meter score is 97% vs the audience score of 86 (starwars = 93/90), Does the tomato meter carry more weight in your opinions?

huh? The tomato meter carries zero weight in MY opinion of the movie. I was just using another trusted source to backup my opinion that I'm not fishing because plenty of other people feel the same way

 

[TripItUp]

In summary, there was no real reason to have a breast milk pumping factory...got it.

 

[Koya]

FWIW, can't speak for others who preferred a bit more character development as I do... but in my case at least, I am not looking for oscar level depth here. Star Wars level backdrop would be plenty. Write a couple paragraphs at least.

Unless you want to go all artsy and say that we had to wander in the desert of character, not sure where to go, who to root for. An oasis or mirage, just who deserves our praise and devotion... and then it becomes clear.

Well, not really. But still, cool movie.

 

[MaxThreshold]

In summary, there was no real reason to have a breast milk pumping factory...got it.

In general, for ANY movie besides kids movies, there really is no reason to NOT have breasts in it. The more breasts, the better.

 

[ghostguy123]

There is no backstory that would create a good lead into that craziness so quit clamoring for some forced BS piece of cow dung "back story" for a movie that was clearly made with complete disregard for any sort of potentially realistic sort of backstory.

Addition by subtraction in this case.

Dialogue would have ruined Fury Road as a post-Apocalytic silent Western with Tom Hardy as a kick-### Buster Keaton.

 

[The Duff Man]

I for one would have enjoyed some scenes of Joe's harem...preferably the girl on girl action they had to do to get ready for his "visit".

You know.....for character development.

I think RT is a bad site to use. Seems like people don't understand the system and say a movie is at 97% as though that means the average rating is 97/100. That said, it seems no matter what site you look at, the critics score for this one is higher than the audience score. Bizzare to see that, as it usually happens with the Birdman/Boyhood type movies of the year.

Seriously? You've been devoting 2000 hours a year to CoC, which features mind numbingly repetitive attacks, and you can't somehow find 15 minutes to watch the final chase sequence? (IMHO, the greatest action scene ever.)

The breast milk was in the war rig. Furiosa was supposed to take it to trade with gas town and the bullet farm. Try to keep up here; as much as I liked the film, there really weren't that many plot points to remember.

Yes

Cutting 5-10 mins of some of the action (which was a little repetitive) to introduce a little more story would have helped this film a ton and subtracted nothing.

You don't need much dialogue. Or you could use dialogue to strategically inform and confuse, all the while keeping it to a staccato minimum.

Conversely, you could have cut 5-10 minutes of the story and added a bit more of that awesome repetition and maybe a guitar solo from the flamethrower.

Character development

Hey if people start saying #### like "BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!1" of "Could win Best Picture" these things need to be brought up.

I have no problem with somebody saying "Best action movie of the year/decade/whatever!"

They nominate what 10 movies? A movie that provides pure entertainment in a unique way can be part of this made up list. It was quite a bit better by a large margin in what it did than any other movie this year.

Yep, and I guarantee there are 10 movies that are a lot better. IMO something like Ex Machina is far more deserving as a genre movie that delivers what it was trying to do in spades.

I'll need to see the list. Agree on Ex Machina. Great movie.

It needed more boobs (and some explosions). Other than that I enjoyed it immensely

Immortan Joe drank it to stay 'healthy'.

You didn't miss anything. The Road Warrior has this film beat convincingly on every level. I think the Thunderdome part of the third film is significantly better than this film too.

See this is what I'm talking about. My rule is: does the movie deliver the promise of the trailer? The answer here is, "Yes.

So it's no better than a porno?

What's wrong with pornos??

 

[The Future Champs]

I'll bet the ladies purse forum hated the movie as well. Not enough handbags.

 

[Gr00vus]

Saw it on HBO this weekend. Good action movie, but not an all time great movie in general. I guess the often incomprehensible dialogue was a choice rather than bad sound editing, but I think that was a mistake. The characters just weren't as vibrant as the ones in the previous Mad Max films - Max in particular was a let down in this movie, where he was the best and most essential part of the others. I get that you had to throw him in there from a marketing perspective, but he ended up as an afterthought, which was disappointing to me. I won't ding the plot too much - the previous three weren't exactly super complex.

I thought the whole bandmobile thing was dumb and annoying. Especially the flame throwing guitar player. I was really glad when they finally put that whole thing out of commission.

I thought it was awesome that they stuck to practical effects as much as possible and did so well with them (I have to assume many of the scenes with Furiosa's arm were digitally edited to some extent).

Maybe a younger me would have liked it more, but I think I've become totally burned out on the whole glorification of violence thing.

 

[packersfan]

Max was an afterthought in his own movie. You could've replaced him with anyone and his role and importance to the story would've been unchanged. That was one of my biggest criticisms of the film.

Correct. Why subtract from what makes this movie THIS movie and muddle it up with some bogus backstory that has zero chance of explaining THIS world?

Make the guitar solo the backstory and roll with it.

OPM would probably recommend cutting a sex scene from a pron so they can show the 5 minute phone call where the girl orders the pizza with extra sausage.

People usually want more backstory when they find the character interesting or intriguing.
