TFA deserves to be bumped. A movie that fooled the world.
Watched Fury Road again for the first time in several years. Wow, such a spectacular film.
And lol at James Cameron for bragging about having a woman 7 months pregnant go into battle. I hate to break it to you Jim but George beat you by 7 years and with a girl *9* months pregnant and even starting to experience labor(!) mid-battle and she was still using her body as a human shield, climbing on the outside of a speeding truck, etc. I also don't recall George Miller bragging or congratulating himself about that fact either.

Jimmy about to unseat Avengers domestic
I've always thought it was awesome. I still prefer the 2022 trinity of TB, TGM, and AWOW though.
Well, if it takes three power-houses like that to unseat Fury Road, I'll accept that defeat.
Fury Road is just non-stop glorious madness....
It really is. Just relentless fun with absolutely amazing cinematography and music. I'd forgotten how striking the color palette is with the orange sand and blue sky.
It is beautiful. Miller has an amazing eye.
And he doesn't burden the viewer with a story to follow or some message to beat into you -- it's just action. Non-stop action. It's a true action-movie.

There is a story, even a continuing multi movie story. The genius though is that it doesn't get in the way of the action, and it's completely optional to the audience. You want a one and done, it works, you want a continuing story it works, you just want amazing visuals, dudes playing electric guitars riding into glorious post-apocalyptic car battle it works.

Yep, it's also a very feminist movie, but does it in a smart way that doesn't insult the audience's intelligence, as well as "subverting expectations" intelligently, something Ryan Johnson can only dream of...

If Road Warrior is ESB then Fury Road is TFA.

The TLJ slo-mo "chase" reminded me of the FR one. But of course we know which was better.
Too bad Tom Hardy's TLJ cameo was cut out of the finished film, lol.The TLJ slo-mo "chase" reminded me of the FR one. But of course we know which was better.
Date night on Pandora...
