Mad Max Fury Road

[Hotdog]

It was ok, but overall disappointing because how good the previews made it look and how good the old Mad Max movies were.

There wasn't much of a story. The story wasn't even really about Mad Max, which was the big disappointment for me. It was more about the girl. Max was just a sideshow pretty much.

The visuals were pretty cool, but that was about it. I did get a kick out of the traveling band. That was pretty funny.

The swaying poles? What's that about? I feel like I'm going to hate the movie because the poles aren't tactically beneficial. If the poles are a gimmick, I'm out. If they're not. I'll catch this **** on HBO or SHOWTIME.

Spoiler

but I want to be clear. I've only been to the movie theatre to see about five movies in the last ten years. Two of those times I slept the entire time.

Watched it a second time today. Would have loved a bit more stories but it's pretty solid the way it is.

In the movie the poles are actually used to gain a tactical advantage

Nah bro it was a great movie for its genre, it never pretended to be a "Beautiful Mind" or anyone of those 'Miramax' type movie. Once you can get past that fact I think it would be easier for you to just sit back and enjoy the ride.

But that's exactly what I did. I went in thinking I just want to be entertained. I got a ton of action, but most of it was pointless and not that I'm some bloodthirsty psycho - but I'd have liked to seen some creative kills (the movie was rated R).

To the person who said this movie had symbolism and everything wasn't spelled out to the viewer (Maybe it is one of those artsy Miramax films that flew over my head?), what was the point/symbolism of them spray painting their lips? Why were they talking about Valhalla if the setting was post-apocalyptic? I don't need to nitpick the plot giving away spoilers but I do wanna know why that platform at the home base is CLEARLY shown to be mechanically operated with a lever but then is portrayed to be operated manually by a bunch of little boys running on those hamster wheel type steps?

To the person who said people had problems with this being a feminist movie - I have to laugh because if it weren't for the old women the movie would have been a true POS.

Ya, I'm sure you are right and the rest of the world is wrong. Seems likely

What a lazy thing to reply with. I am not the only one who felt extremely let down by the movie given the hype.

I didn't mean to offend people who really loved the movie. I need to be clear on the fact that I'm bashing the movie doesn't mean I'm bashing the people who liked it.

In the op you made it sound like your thoughts on the movie are facts, rather than opinions.
I was simply pointing out that the overwhelming majority of people who saw the movie disagree

OK - quick question for you - do you prefer Mad Max or the Avengers?


Both are showing at the moment.
