compared to Fury Road


i always thought mm2 and beyond thunderdome seemed elaborate and silly but compared to the new movie this seems a lot more realistic. it's simply social collapse in rural outback Australia. FR is like Waterworld on some desert martian planet

goes to show a lower budget and more grit really do the trick.

True. For all it's camp quality, it's an apocalyptic wasteland you can believe in.

Rough and ragged, with desperate looking people.

Not a world with a flame throwing guitar, giant speakers, endless amounts of guns and bullets, and women who look more like GQ models.

Exactly. FR is fun stuff but it's unbelievable fun

No offense, but if you find all the films silly, why are you watching them in the first place? I would think seeing just one film, and maybe parts of the others would be enough for a guy to say "Okay, I've seen enough. Time to move on and watch something else."
