I've never seen the originals but I was a little disappointed with Fury Road, I enjoyed it but it wasn't near as good as I expected given the hype about it.
I really enjoyed it. Kinda weird and twisted, just my style in movies. Haha. Although the balance is totally backward from the first. This one is like 90% action, 10% buildup, the original is 90% buildup for about 10% of action at the end.
I enjoy that many of the cars were real, and they actually drove them around the desert. That dude actually had to play his guitar strapped into bungee cords driving down the desert, with those amps actually blaring. The "Gigahorse" (main baddy's car) actually does have 2, twin turbo V8s connected together to an Allison transmission. Apparently it was a nightmare to maintain, but still cool as heck.
