OK, went to see it last night with the eldest kid while wife babysat grandson.
I'm not giving it the 'OMG, best thing ever, gotta see it 100 times' review. But it is totally worth seeing. Let's face it, no matter how much we try to dress up the moral feel good side of the plot, there really isn't much in the way of a plot. It's just an excuse for a two hour car chase. And as a two hour car chase it's brilliant. It's really worth seeing it on the big screen. Some of the action scenes are just amazing, you're holding your breath as they unfold. The cars are really stunning. I especially love the 'Gigahorse', 'Nux's car'and the 'Doof wagon' (that I call the 'Metal wagon' coz it's blaring out metal) Also I like the revised Interseptor after it was stolen and cleaned up (not a spoiler)
I was actually surprised it got an 'R' Rating. There may be a cumulative effect of a lot of violence, but there is no single act that is worse than may PG13 films and less in the way of nudity. The violence is mainly implied. You see people falling from vehicles, you get a shot of them hitting the deck, but the you just see the vehicle bumping up and down implying they are being run over,rather than seeing them getting mangled by the wheels. Ditto the other death and dismemberment, it's implied rather than actually seen
