So the new Mad Max movie (Fury road) comes out pretty soon, so I decided to watch all 3 current Mad Max films to catch up on the lore and story (I think it's a sequel, but I could be wrong and might be a reboot) or any references possibly thrown in for people that watched the older films.
and I was pretty disappointed. From what I've seen in the trailer for the new one, that's what I imagined when people described the old ones to me, but I really couldn't see them as set in a 'post apocalyptic' world when there's clearly a large community of non-crazy people in a normal Australian town. The new one still holds the number 1 spot for the film i'm most excited film this year, given that it's a completely new cast, new director, and has been 30 or so years since the last one.
Have you seen the old ones / planning to see the new one? It's all opinions guys, but I honestly think the first 3 movies make up one of the worst movie series in history, and i'm not basing this off of the kind of person Mel Gibson is, believe me.
