I hope that not just Mel is gone, but his character. I'd hate to see him recast. Get some new shit, leave the definitive post-apocalyptic trilogy in peace.

Mel's out, which means no villain named 'Sugar Tits' and the Jews didn't cause the apocalypse.

The article says that the title character will be recast because Mel Gibson is too old.

So there will be someone else playing Max.

I guess there'd have to be someone named Max in it to keep using the title. And he'll have to be either crazy or angry, presumably.

Still, it seems a shame to recycle this particular character.

I could live w\ another, but distinctly different dude that just coincidentally happens to be named Max.

I mean, shit, if Lucas remade Star Wars & cast Ashton Kutcher as Han Solo, I'd be pissed.

It's a go.

Maybe Mel.

Maybe my ass. If they had him locked in or even significantly interested, they'd be shouting it from the goddamned rooftops.

This looks like a mother fucking Mad Max movie.

With a whole lot more insanity.

Bane is Mad Max?

Also, trailer looked solid enough, for a trailer.

I liked the Road Warrior callback... when a car rolls/gets smashed up, a million little pieces that were glued on go flying.

Was that Mad Max tied up for the duration of the trailer?

Post by **GORDON** » Tue May 19, 2015 2:48 pm

That was a fucking insane movie. It's more Mad Max than Thunderdome.

And to address the previous comment, yeah, he's on the "crazy" side of "mad." Definite PTSD issues. Mel Gibson in the first 2 movies may as well have been called Sad Max, compared to this version. Or perhaps Nihilist Max.

I feel exhausted... this was a 2 hour movie with 1.5 hours of car chases.

This film got killed by Pitch Perfect 2 two weekends in a row.

Today's 11:30 was about half full.

Pitch Perfect 2 opened to about $70M, 10% less than Avengers 2 its opening weekend. ~1.5x as much as Max. That's just fucked up.

Granted, PP targeted what is probably a bigger demographic who hadn't recently spent their monthly movie money watching Avengers twice.

Still thinking about this fucked up movie.

I can't tell from your comments: did you like it or hate it?
