The chase scenes are beautifully lensed in the first three MM movies, but in terms of composition and structure, they are nothing special. He had an eye for framing and shot selection, but not always for putting them together in effective ways. But after Fury Road, I can't even say that much for him any more. Those action scenes were devoid of anything compelling.
He'd never do it, but I would love to see Spielberg make an F&F movie. He'd knock it out of the park.

Spielberg is just a wannabe JJ Abrams now, who is just a wannabe Spielberg. He's done.
The structure and composition in Road Warrior is incredibly special. Its the most special there is.
I would like to see Spielberg go back to making pointless adventure movies again. This dark historical crap he's been putting out just isn't working. I'm not sure the cinematic equivalent of pro wrestling (FandF) is really suited for him, though. SOmething with kids would be better.

How bad was that scene on the train at the end of Bridge of Spies? Just terrible. Terrible. Its like a spoof movie. He really just hammers you in the face with it.

The line between spoof and serious effort are so blurred these days it's hard to say. There is even a movie coming out called Independence Day 2, and no one is laughing.
Do we know if this movie takes place on July 4th? Because its bullshit if it doesn't. They won't be getting my money unless the aliens attack on July 4th, as God intended.

I dont find Road Warrior to be that special. I agree with LV, he sure know how to frame and how to shoot some cool scenes. But thats about it.
And the last Mad Max was just...boring.
McTiernan or Harlin would do an amazing job with F&F, way better than Miller.

I kinda doubt Harlin will get any more mainstream work. He's likely relegated to the direct-to-video ghetto from here on out.
