I mean, that goes without saying.

Suffice to say, I'm there Friday night with my 15 year old and 12 year old daughters. They loved the second and third films when I showed them last year. The trailers for this one has them very excited to see it.

Theron was on GMA this morning talking about the "strong female role" and why she avoids certain directors and movies since they pay lip service to it. She claims that the reason she did this film was that the director, George Miller, made it clear that he "got it" in regards to this. Which is why she went all in on really getting into the character and shaving her hair off for it. She was definitely engaging to watch this morning.
