Wow you guys like explosions too? Heh, I don't see the appeal, it's too fantasy/video-game like, the first is my favorite because it's wild but still grounded and the road chases were badass.

 

2pac's California Love looks better than this.

Just because Michael Bay sucks doesn't mean explosions can't still be badass.

it is a little strange though that this movie started production in 2009 and almost all reports from the set about the action talked about how dangerous and classic the whole situation was, tons of practical effects, real car crashes, etc. Watching both of these trailers its not entirely evident how 'practical' the action is, maybe its just the overly saturated coloring but i see a lot of Bayisms that I wasn't expecting to see

I think any concerns will be put to rest when viewing the actual film and noticing the lack of .5 second micro edits that make it impossible to follow what's actually happening. They obviously want to highlight the most blockbuster-ish parts of the movie in the trailer to try to draw in that modern young Bay crowd.

Latest Japanese trailer:

I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of this at the cinema.

More of the "story" revealed:

Damn that trailer gets me moist

dis looks like it's gon b good

there could be 3 more films

Mad bacs.

Mel Gibson accidentally makes a bank transfer to someone he doesn't know. He gets one digit wrong on the account number and bam! The money is gone

Great trailer, connects the past to the future.

This would be good. "Our only defense in these chaotic times is basketball and shaq fu." Then out from nowhere comes a voice: "...And gymnastics." And then Mel Gibson and Shaq look over, and it's the dude from Gymkata.

I have a feeling either Fury Road will bomb tremendously, or end up being the surprise hit of the summer.

I kind of think this will turn out like Dredd, with almost no one seeing it in spite of unusually positive reviews for a retro IP-based action flick.

I read Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron hate each other.

Tom Hardy is not a sane individual.

No shit have u seen him shirtless? Has to be the most tatted star in Hollywood, barring musicians. Maybe Mickey Rourke has him beat.

Did you guys know Elvis' granddaughter is in it? The female "prisoner" with red hair. Also Lenny Kravitz' daughter from X-Men.

It's nice to know that in a distopian wasteland that ladies find the time to keep up their skincare, dye their hair, trim their eyebrows, and get on some makeup before their long days of being wenches and slaves.

I'm just confused about the story, has Max been recast? Is it Max Jr.? Is it a reboot? Mel is still a good screen presence, it would be a shame to see him written out of continuity.

 

It's either going to be a return to form for post apocalyptic films, or just a bunch of cool looking images with thin plot and emotion (a.k.a. another Prometheus)

This is a new trilogy, so apparently there's a lot to fill in.
