I've only seen two reviews so far, IGN and Comic Book Resources, and they both absolutely loved it.
CBR's got some more stuff that might be of interest:
George Miller interview
Max, Furiosa, Nux, and George Miller featurettes.
Zoe Kravits interview

Kinda ashamed to admit I've never seen the original movies (well I tried watching the first one recently but it was so slow and bizarre I couldn't get through it). But the trailer for this one looks so mindblowingly cool and the reviews are so good (still at 99% on RT?!? Seriously?) that I'll just have to go see it.
The first one was a extemely low budget and just bearly a sci-fi movie. The nxt two however were awesome action movies. It's kind of cool that Miller got Hugh Keays-Bryne to play the villain again.
Really? Oh dear.
Well at least we can be reasonably confident that these idiots are just another vocal, deeply insecure minority. I'd be astonished if it even makes a dent in the box office. Probably the opposite since I image there are more people who will read this and go see the movie to spite them than those that may be swayed by it.
Personally, I couldn't care less even *if* the movie was prejudiced against men, given the way some women were portrayed in the old Mad Max movies I'd say a little turnabout is fair play.

Just got back from seeing it.
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!!
It kicks you in the balls, tells you to "toughen up princess" and then drags you by the hair for two hours.
Loved EVERY second of it!!!
Just some random thoughts;
There's a scene where we see two "creatures" shambling in silhouette across the frame - reminded me of something we'd see from the Dark Crystal. No explanation of what the hell we just saw or what they're doing. They're just THERE.
FUCKING COOL!!!!!
There are INSTANTLY iconic images in this film that will be referenced and talked about and copied for DECADES to come. I mean, why the hell shouldn't a truck explode and an electric guitar come flying at the audience?
I was taken back to the original "Dune" movie a few times where things happen, technology is seen being used and guess what? Not ONE SOLITARY SECOND of technobabble. It is what it is - if you can't deal with it or if you don't like it, THERE'S the door - GET OUT!
This film is unapologetic and the perfect antidote to by the numbers (Northern) Summer blockbusters. It's raw, dirty, weird, cool and not every single person has to explain their actions every second of the film. The good thing is, there's going to be MORE THAN ENOUGH for the mundanes to froth over, while for more deeper types, there's a mountain of meat and subtext to chew on. A good example is Max raising his hand to shield his face at a CRUCIAL moment. It's NOT by concidence.
FUCK I LOVED THIS FILM!!!!!!!

It'll be have no more impact than the White supremacists who were mad about Idris in "Thor".
Soooo... you liked it then?
Lol - yeah. Going again soon and taking the old man.
You're not the only one. My friends and I will be going to see the new one tomorrow. Our local cinema were showing the originals during this week though I didn't get chance to go.
It was O R E S O M E !!! One giant car chase in the desert. The scenery was breathtaking and I absolutely loved the World Building of this movie!
I need to rewatch it!
Someone on FB complained that it was a long heavy metal clip. I replied "So what did you expect? A Tina Turner video clip?"

Definitely a movie I'll want to watch a second time on disc with subtitles turned on. Damn incomprehensible 'stralian gibberspeak! 
Obviously better than Mad Max and Beyond Thunderdome, but Road Warrior, hmm, jury's still out on that one. But yeah, the chase sequences were awesome.
