Tom Hardy is definitely not as good as Mel was, but I can't come up with anyone that would have been better. Ultimately I think Max is just a largely thankless role; it's really hard to shine at it. Gibson did because he does 'anguished' better than any actor of my lifetime. Hardy doesn't quite have that depth.

Holy hell though, what a balls-out movie. Honestly, I almost need to go see it again just so I can appreciate the scope of the insanity rather than waste energy holding on for the ride. I know the pub has been for the fight into the electrical storm but as I saw it easily the best part was the fight back through the war parties.


I've seen it twice and I'd recommend doing so.

One of my friends deals in the sale of authentic movie props and costumes, and recently scored several of the prop guns used in this movie. They're not the ones that actually fire blanks, but the dummy props used in non-shooting scenes. He got the Glock, the Browning Hi Power, the sawed off double barrel shotgun, the flare gun, and the big revolver used by Immortan Joe.

I've only seen pictures so far, but hopefully in the next week or so I'll get to see them in person and take some of my own pictures.

2 years later enough time to consider if this was the best action ever made?

It was excellent, but Road Warrior remains the better movie

BTW, is anybody else having trouble posting on this thread? I can only use the quick reply box at the bottom - when I try to use the quote or post reply tabs, I get a nearly black screen with the "post attachment" box in the top left hand corner. Very strange.

Probably. But it's definitely in the running for the best of the decade for sure

Watched it again recently and it's absolutely brilliant and insane

Have watched it multiple times over the past few years including a month or so ago. It is just that.

Hugh Keays-Byrne has passed. RIP


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Hugh Keays-Byrne, an unsung hero of Aussie cinema, has passed away at age 73.
