To be honest, when I watched the MADMAX trilogy, I never thought that there would be a fourth one. The reason is that the third part has already explained the whole world of MADMAX. Unexpectedly, a few years ago, it was discovered that the fourth part was being filmed, and the various vehicle designs sent out were much better than those of the previous trilogy. Although I don't have any confidence in the current sequel movies, MADMAX is also a series for me that I will go to the cinema even if it is shit.
In order to prove that I am not fake, I like the MADMAX series. Finally, after the MERS storm, Hong Kong still rushed over to watch it while there was still a movie theater in Hong Kong. After checking the next row, it should be the penultimate one. As a series of fans, although it is impossible to put the various stalks and surroundings in the front as Shu Jiazhen, but this kind of opportunity is definitely at the door. Although I don't know why an idiot used three tickets...but after all, he successfully completed the pilgrimage trip of MADMAX4.
Having said that, I won't repeat the highlights of the various action scenes that many film friends said before. Anyway, I can't help but gritted my teeth in the episode of the scene where Theron started to be chased to the wind and sand. After reading the overall story, I felt that as a script with a slight taste of a B-level movie, it was actually quite plump. And the emotional catharsis of this type of film is basically based on the previous depression to achieve a comparison (such as the new version of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and the first part of Geshan Eyes), MADMAX4 can be said to have done it. In Theron desperately, she removed the mechanical prosthesis and knelt in the rolling yellow sand. With the sound of the background music, I could vaguely feel her unwillingness in her heart.
The whole story is that the heroine flees in order to reach a legendary oasis. Encountered the NPC super mobile power supply MAX, escaped successfully, and then desperate, and then killed a carbine and returned to become the lord. For a genre film, such a plot is not complicated, but simple but a bit reversal, which is just right. And its fullness lies in the fact that through the character description of several characters, the story is chased in the car for almost an hour and a half, but the audience is not easy to feel tired.
For example: WARBOY, the immortal WARBOY that plays a role in the plot of the whole film, in addition to two super cute tumors on the left shoulder, there is also an additional skill that will not die as long as you roll down in the car. From the very beginning, it was completely by the immortal old Joe (I want to spit the name of this BOSS because the director deliberately got up to spoof him?) The brainwashed war madman was later described by the high-charm red-haired girl, and then became the MAX gang. Although the pen and ink is not too much, but it is very vigorous. There are also several long-legged models with different hair colors in the most typical Lao Qiao Harem. Each character's personality has a vivid description that represents the various types of people that a team will appear in a crisis. It can be said that almost no scene of those beautiful women is superfluous. And the dead boy in the wasteland of MAX is different from the tall and tall image in most hero movies, indifferent and selfish, just for survival (inheriting the settings of 2 and 3). Instead, tall, witty and tough, these qualities gave Theron the role. This kind of collocation contrast is both innovative and not too far away from the mainstream values of the protagonist group.
Regarding the story, I also think of a movie "Future Water World" that may be slightly related. In terms of time, Water World was shot behind MADMAX. In addition to the creative setting of shooting wasteland into waste sea, the water world may be inadvertent. It borrows some techniques from the MAX series on worldview construction (the most typical is the battle of water vehicles, here I will not Tucao claims that a certain thief king has almost no description of naval battles). It can be said to be a spiritual sequel to MADMAX to some extent. However, the most interesting part is that the plot of this MADMAX4 is almost the same as the water world. Of course, the final reversal of MADMAX and the plump character creation have to be said to be a few horses ahead of the water world. Perhaps this kind of doomsday theme can't escape the theme of finding a happy land.
In addition to surpassing its predecessor's exciting car battle, MADMAX also perfectly inherits the creative and worthy character designs of the series. Compared with the current various tweaking online games CG setting style, it can be said that it is not a fool. MAX is still the same, jacket and jeans. However, this time following the trend, a USB charging cable was added to pave the way for the key plot behind the plot. But that mask is addictive, right? Every film will come out. The setting of Theron’s short-haired smoky robotic arm, in a sense, is a continuation of MAX’s setting of installing a metal leg bracket in the second part (because MAX was shot at the end of the first part. leg). In addition to taking over the third part (the third part is also a confrontation between two forces in the city) at a certain level, Theron's setting is more extreme than the status of the queen of Buttertown, which is directly short hair, smoky makeup, broken arm and prosthetic limbs. I have to say that you are ruthless, old Joe! And the double tumor WARBOY with drama along the way. This albino new human was similarly set up in the flying tribe in the third part. The most important thing is that in a scene after the sandstorm, WARBOY undead clearly reproduces the plot that requires a saw at the end of the first part, but here is a gun. Of course, I have to say that many people remember the red fire-spitting guitarist very deeply. In fact, the setting of this strange chicken musician is obviously a continuation of the design of the strange chicken musician Tangtang in the third part. The most spoof is that he even continued the assumption that the musicians are blind. It's just that this time the red guitarist has more image design, more extreme and cool. In addition, even though the big boss, Immortal Old Joe, did not inherit the lineage of any of the previous characters (in fact, it is not necessary to inherit something). But in terms of the character's own image, he is very successful. As soon as they appeared on the stage, various soldiers helped to apply talcum powder (in order to cover up all kinds of sores on the body), and the front and back two armors with slightly translucent and various trendy stickers also made the body layer rich. The most powerful thing is his super awkward mask, protruding teeth and blower-like back hat. It makes people feel the taste of the black samurai appearance, which is impressive. The actor Tom Hardy of MAX happens to be a mask role in Bat 3. In the beautiful wet body scene that can only be seen after waking up after the MAX storm and seeing the fantastic HIPHOP MV scene, Old Joe's harem beauties clearly used skin tone and hair color to distinguish those girls. Facilitate the better distribution of attributes in the later stage of the story, so that people will not be blinded. Immortal old Joe, you really know how to play, all black and white men, women and children of all ages. There are also those two allies of Old Joe, a monster with swollen feet in a suit without a nose, and finally the swollen feet become an effective card position prop. The goggles double-gun tank king, because he was too arrogant, the spotlight was exploded by Theron (it is worthy of the high perception value of the daughter country), his eyes were blinded by fragments, and he was even more crazy after he tied the blindfold. He shot the swamp with both guns . In addition to the typical brother-in-law character in the wasteland works, Old Qiao’s son didn’t know what role the two air valves on the back had, but in the final duel, he was so coincidentally pulled off the air valve in Batman. Hardy MAX broke and was KO. Is this Tang Hardy spoofing his role? Finally, there is the mother tribe. In fact, friends who have played Fallout should know that these are the characters of some super-sense nomads. Anyway, they are a group of guys who use sniper rifles. However, it is not known whether the two bamboo poles that appeared in the swamp halfway through the encounter with the mother tribe were humans or ghosts. In the end, he almost forgot, the appearance of one of the freak sons of Immortal Old Joe reminded people of the little man in the third underground BOSS. It can be said that there should be some. The series of fans should feel full of sincerity by seeing the characters appearing on the stage (turning back and discovering that the setting of the nursery factory was omitted).

In addition, in this episode, the description of the worldview focuses on its culture and religion. For the immortal old Joe, the plot of the doomsday cult leader is still in place.
Finally, it is inevitable that I will talk about some car battles in this episode. After all, this time MADMAX has really turned into a road chase movie. Those so-called self-seeking road movies who drive all the way to find girls and play dogs will flash aside. It's a pity that 4 did not inherit the settings of the projectiles of 2 and 3. In fact, even a soy sauce can be used.
This time the protagonist car has become a modified truck like the one in 3, but the MAX V8 has become a soy sauce. In the first few minutes, he was bombarded. The vehicle combat configuration of the fortress forces has also strengthened the description of a driving + a gunman mode. The things in the front of the car that want Coke cans turned out to be bombs, which is why MAX became a mobile power supply and was brought to the battlefield to become a powerful NPC in Theron. By the way, you probably haven't seen the movie of the actor who was tied to the front of the car with a mask for almost the first 20 minutes instead of driving. By the way, the LIVE SHOW big truck and the red-clothed fire-breathing guitarist that came out of the army are not a joke. The various collisions of the hedgehog car are almost a must-have main course of the car battle. Then a WARBOY was shot through the left eye, and I prepared to sacrifice with a spray nozzle. I jumped up and jumped into the car with two spears. I was HIGH again! Running all the way, a banner panorama of the doomsday sandstorm can be described as bold in the theater. As the lights of the car slowly dimmed in the sandstorm, the climax of the first twenty minutes or so ushered in a short break, allowing the waking MAX (audience) to enjoy the exaggerated supermodel wet show in the HIPHOP MV.
The story comes to the plot of the guardian of the plank road. In addition to the motorcycle airdrop grenades, the most interesting thing is that in a plot where the front of the protagonist’s car was on fire, the front shovel that was put down told everyone, in addition to being used to shovel zombies, This item can be used to put out fires. Ciao, the settings are so detailed! And after the bridge section of the plank road, let the drag racing scene change from the plot of just being in the group P into a one-on-one chase. What impressed me the most was that MAX finally couldn't help but smile and praise the big house of Old Joe, but the plot changed again, ending this heads-up. Then the car entered the swamp road and brought out the silly boss tank car that was shot by Theron later. The outside does not admire the subtlety of old Joe's rhythm control. Why do you say this? The car has been running for more than an hour before, so when MAX got the waste materials to get the equipment, just pass it, because if you go ahead, it will be a bit tired. Don't ask how to fight, anyway, the script is written like this.
The latter result was that Theron fell off his arms and knelt down and wept bitterly. Fortunately, Theron's high charm value triggered the branch plot that MAX assisted in the counterattack. Otherwise, their gang of daughter kingdoms would definitely become some of the many salted fish on the Wanli Salt Plain. In MAX’s few dialogues, a few profound sentences appeared: It’s wrong to hold hope, and then we can work together... and so on. The first half of the final climax of the battle was with a few snipers teaming up, but unfortunately the snipers' blood volume was too low and they were too low to fight. Moreover, the plot of using the pole vault to rock and roll is still very cute. While on the roof of the car, MAX caught an arrow. I don’t know if it would be the same as Carpenter’s "Monsters in Chinatown" and later played the Snack prototype in "The Los Angeles Escape". The buddy said: Hands are not as fast as eyes Quick, quick eyes are not as good as hearts. After the car entered the plank road, Ji Ben entered the basic car human centipede form of the car fighting, quite like the Hong Kong police and robbers chasing by the car in the 1990s. As the climax of the whole film, here is enough homework, and the red guitarist also helped the audience translate what TMD is called MAD. The boss, immortal, old Joe finally took off his mask, but unfortunately you can't see his face clearly.
Why can't Niang Pao's CG contain Old Joe's imagination? That's right, Old Joe let the young director who now likes to do all kinds of special effects see what imagination and hard core are. Most of the car battles in the film were shots with stunt driving and non-CG. In addition to the props, the bridge section was designed with care. The effect is by no means comparable to the current homogenized CG. I heard that Lao Qiao also plans to release a monochrome version of yellow tone on Blu-ray, everyone will wait and see. It is said that Uncle Tomhardy has already signed the next two plots. At that time, after the end of 3, I thought that if I shoot 4, it is likely to become a fragmented story like some of MAX's experience before becoming the third story. So as long as the script is hard enough and the cars and people continue to be hard, 5 and 6 will definitely be two wonderful films.
