What I liked about Mad Max was its low budget Australian innovation. If this new movie is anything like the subsequent big budget movies, it is just more kids stuff from Hollywood.
No. The movie is quite gritty, and keeps in true form to the way the first two movies of the franchise presented themselves to audiences. There are nods towards Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, but it isn't that camp. It appears that this movie is more mature than the first three movies.
If your concern is to do with the amount of CGI, they keep the computer generated images to a minimum usage, and let the action speak loudly. Compared to other CGI heavy movies, this Fury Road has taken a laxative, and is all the better for it.
I don't think it's a movie for the teenage audiences. The MA rating is appropriate, and there are a few scenes where the younger audiences wouldn't be appropriate to seeing this movie. Though I believe that the dialogue seemed appropriate for a post apocalyptic scenario -- people desperate to survive and bordering on religious insanity and barbarity.
Still, I always wonder why they drive around V8s when there is an oil shortage.
