If I had to describe it in one word, I'd have to go with "Metal."
Wonderful book of amazing art that could of only been made better by printing as a larger format. Having a crease down each piece really took away from the beauty of each piece. This is chock full of concept art from those who saw the beauty, decay, and brutality that is Mad Max.
This would probably look better in slightly different format, as most pieces would work great as poster art. The all-star roster of artists surprises with their approach and interpretation of the Mad Max universe and few are the pieces that are forgettable...
Such an awesome book full of incredible art! I do wish they used a different book format instead of a standard portrait layout. The center binding really got in the way of the full art so that sucks.
As what Gilbert Hernandez notes regarding to his art that featuring in this book;"The distopian future that's been define by the Mad Max films is ripe with visual dynamics and begs many questions about where our present world is going. If we're lucky, it'll remain as something cool or frightening in movies and comics and TV shows. If it comes true... ". What a movie that is. And what a collective of fan arts. A must have for a graphic & comic enthusiasts. A compulsory one for the Mad Max univers...
Some of this art is absolutely incredible! This comes from a guy who struggles with stick figures and found his 6th-grade flip book project the struggle of a lifetime. I wish there were more depictions of the War Rig beyond the front view and grill, and much of the art is repetition of the same scene. Then again, Fury Road was one big nonstop action sequence.My main issue isn't with the art or artists, but more with the presentation. It really takes away from the art when the binding splits down...
It is hard to rate a book of artist drawings. Some pieces I like and others weren't my thing. I do believe that most of them got the vision that George Miller was going for. A great item for any fan of Mad Max: Fury Road. A side note, I suggest you see the movie as soon as possible on as big of a screen as possible. The imagery will blow you away.
Mad Max: Fury Road – Inspired Artists is a collection of works by various comic book artists inspired by the latest instalment in the Mad Max films. The work is varied, in style and content, and as such how much the reader will enjoy each art piece will depend on their personal taste. Personally, there were some that I loved and would love to have prints of (the pieces by George Pratt and Tara McPherson need to be on my wall now), a fair bit that I liked, some that were intriguing in their conte...
i was tidying my shelves and realised i'd never read this when i got it.or perhaps read isn't the correct word.either way, 10/10 for the art, but 2/10 for whoever thought this binding would be suited for an art book? did they not get a test copy first?
The artistic interpretations are fantastic and depict some of my favorite artists, however, this book has a terrible flaw - who the hell decided this would be the best format to tragically slice these pictures in half!? This book would have been better suited to a larger size instead of the standard comic size. The most tragic is Tara McPherson's Furiosa; taking a gorgeous head shot and making it awkward. It's disappointing for an art book to be presented in such a way as to not show the art at
From the poster which I love the color style it has going, just so pretty, to the art direction in the film and this. Basically its different art styles and tone based on the movie. And some are okay but the style is different and are interesting and others are really really good. Like something you'd see on a comic or something. Pretty good collection type book.
An interesting look at "Mad Max: Fury Road", told through the eyes of many different comic book artists and creators. Each page opens on a two page spread depicting a scene (or a loosely interpreted version of one) in bright, exciting color and action.The book isn't just for fans of the movie, however. I thought the back pages, filled with statements from each of the artists, were the best part. Their interpretations of the movie, character and project itself were enlightening and humorous.
I have no words. Ok... Maybe one: wow.
See photo gallery and video unboxing at: http://www.movieartbook.com/2015/05/m...If you are a fan of Mad Max, this book is a wonderful collection of artwork inspired by the new film "Fury Road". It's a great collection of art by a number of talented artists, and there are a variety of styles and techniques on display. Essentially, each piece of art is 11x13 inches and is printed across a full two-page spread of the book. Now obviously, printing a piece of art across two pages presents an issue.....
The art itself is pretty cool, but1. The pictures go across the fold, and that sucks. There's all this space tucked in for book construction purposes, and it interrupts the art quite a bit. Huge bummer.2. The pieces are, for the most part, less inspired by the movie, more depictions of things that happen in the movie. Which is pretty great, but, you know, we have the movie. I think I'd rather see things that look more like movie posters or things that didn't necessarily happen in the movie.3. SI...
Its visually impressive, no story
So, this isn't a story - I had thought it was a graphic novel when i initially grabbed it. Instead it's a collection of artistic renditions from various artists inspired by Fury Road.
This was a wonderful book. I loved looking at all the great artwork. The book is all artwork except the last 5 pages have a list of the artists in order of appearance. My 21 yr old son pretty much stole the book from me. This book is more for the high school aged on up. I really don't recommend a child under 16 yrs old to look at it since the art is really dark/graphic and has violence like guns and fighting in it. This is a book that can be enjoyed over and over again.
Mildly disappointing art book based on one of my favorite movies.The art in this is cool, but unfortunately it all started to feel the same. I enjoyed flipping through it, but I found that I never went back to it. And when I did it was always a bit disappointing.One of the key problems is it's all more or less stuff from the movie, and I've seen the movie many times. It would have been more interesting to see artists explore the characters and worlds of the Mad Max universe a bit more.I eventual...
Very underwhelming to be honest. I loved Mad Max Fury Road so I couldn't wait to get a hold of this book to see all the amazing art. Unfortunately it wasn't all that good. Because when I go out and pay a premium comic price to buy a book with just art pieces in it, I expect each piece to be amazing. However I found 80% of the book to be very mediocre. Which is a shame because I am a huge fan of the movie. The 20% of drawings that I liked however don't justify the price.
