I saw Fury Road the other day and I thought it was fucking awesome.
How's the original?

Not really. It's like your standard straight-to-VHS action schlock. 90% of the movie is people standing around and talking and then in the last 10% suddenly the action ramps up.

As a prototype for the franchise it barely even sets up the world. It looks like it took place in current day (by their standard) Arizona or something in some dusty little town. The bad guys are more or less just normal bikers.

I tried watching the first one but I couldn't pay attention it was too boring and didn't seem post apocalyptic at all.

I barely remember the other two. But Fury Road is one of my favorite movies ever. He really did it perfectly with the last one.

The first is my favorite in the series.

It's one of my all time favorite movies.

The premise of one man standing against a collapsing society and ultimately, failing, is one of my favorites. It's a pre-apocalypse movie. Which is one of my favorite themes. A World on the brink but not yet but soon to be doomed.

Emphasis on the action, low budget, and gritty. Watch the original Australian dub.

Mad Max boils and builds tension into a great climax. The critique that it is boring is fair, but I appreciate the tension personally and the building action. The movie feels like a fever dream punctuated by spasms of car chases and ultra violence.

Road Warrior has less thematic depth to me. I love the film and the climax car chase, but otherwise, it's not overly novel. Thunderdome would be much better if it was the only movie in the franchise. I like it, but it's bad compared to the rest.
