Although i love the guy, Miller’s reaction to the game suggests he isn’t a gamer. I would LOVE to see an interview where he breaks down what aspects of the game didn’t live up to his expectations.

As a fan who’s been there since the beginning, played the original impossible Mad Max game on NES, as well as Outlander, and waited years for the 2015 version, when I finally got my hands on it, I was enamored. I still play the game from time to time TO THIS DAY.

If anyone were to make a sequel, I would only trust Avalanche with it.

I think the box office of Furiosa proves this isn’t true. The mad Max video game was woefully underrated, and I think it possibly had to do with several factors separate from Max being the protagonist, one of which was inaccurate reviews.

Factors that should not be ignored however is that the game might a) have just appealed to a niche audience at the time (such as Max’s largest audience weren’t necessarily gamers in 2015), b) it was delayed so much that it’s target demographic wasn’t fully aware it had finally launched, c) it was only available for the next gen platform at a time when the majority of gamers were still saving up for such, and still getting the last bit of juice out of their current gen systems, and 4), that maybe a game this good can exist for its own sake, and sales have nothing to do with its validity. I’m still returning to it all these years later.

I disagree with the money grab idea when applied to the last two films. George Miller loves making movies, and wants to continue to return to the world he’s carved out of his imagination. I, personally, am thankful he continues to.

Thunderdome is the best movie, cinematically, on this list, but it’s Fury Road is also an amazing film, technically speaking. However, Byron Kennedy wasn’t involved, and neither was Mel, so it’s apples and oranges. Road Warrior (please stop calling it Mad Max 2, even if you are from Down Under) is by far the favorite, of course, as it should be. However, the third film is a superior movie. It improves upon every aspect in every way. Anyone who thinks it’s a joke hasn’t seen it through an unbiased lens. Mad Max is not a good film, even if it is fun to watch. And the statement that Thunderdome was a low point in Turner’s career is naive; it jumpstarted her comeback and gave her the most complex and popular song of her career. Just look up We Don’t Need Another Hero on YouTube and look at the number of versions and views to see my point. The song changed pop music in the eighties and is still loved by millions forty years later.
