    I read a review last night that, while praising the movie, it kind of disappointed me to find out that it is the character of Furiosa (Charlize Theron), and not Max, the one true driving force of this film as the plot exudes with feminism rhetoric. The reviewer stated that Max 'is in the passenger seat of his own movie' and that the studio has plans for a sequel tentatively titled 'Mad Max: Furiosa'. The reviewer stated that Theron does an amazing job, though.

    Then why would you bring Theron? To be a supporting cast? He was only the hook to bring people in.

    Who gives a fuck? This ain't a drama, it's a fucking action movie. Am I supposed to believe Theron would have played a better Bane than Hardy did in the Batman movie? Get the fuck outta here, Mad Max is a male themed movie and you couldn't have asked for a better action star at the helm then Hardy. This shit is fucked up.

    I dont think Theron is better than Hardy. Hardy hasnt even reached his prime yet.

    Maybe. I heard the author of the Vagina Monologues was actually a consultant on the film. I will have to wait and see what my boy says about the movie. I only trust his reviews

    90 pound women who wouldnt last 10 seconds in the Chicago wind aint convincing me of shit. Now if Gina Carrano was the star of this movie, it would be much more believable. Shaving your head doesnt automatically make you tough and super human in my eyes.

    Yeah, but Gino Carrano can't act.

    What if she "Acts" tough and super human, convincingly?

    Charlize isn't exactly a tiny little girl.

    In the "Real World", can Max (or shall we say Mel Gibson), realistically survive all the shit he has gone through in these films?

    She seemed to do a good job acting in all the films i seen. I get it noble. You think guys and girls are the same physically. Good for you. I dont. And theron may not be short. She is 5-9. but she was like 110 pounds. She had to gain weight. Hell, that bitch from Game of Thrones would have been great for this role.

    That being said, i never said I wasnt going to watch it. I said i am waiting for my boy to come out with his review, like I do with All movies.

    Silly, I don't think Men and Women are the same physically. I think Rhonda Rousey would get mauled by a competent High School wrestler anywhere near her size.

    Movies are fantasy, nearly all of them. This isn't "Serpico" or "Goodfellas". I got no problem with the ladies being bad-asses in movies if the situation fits.

    I'd much rather that the case then some bullshit romantic entanglement that slows the movie down. BTW George Miller has a history of putting strong female characters his last two Mad Max movies. You could have said Tina Turner was the co-lead in the last film.

    I have no problem with woman being badasses either, but it should be done a certain way. dont hire the fucking Vagina Monologues writer to consult on an action movie. It's fucking bizarre to me.

    wtf? Good God no. It's just a professional movie critic who has very similar taste as me. If he likes, it, 9/10 i will like it. if he hates it 9/10 i will hate it.
