Mad Max: Fury Road is probably the most overrated film of the last decade

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I love Fury Road, I watch it almost every time it's on hbo. So entertaining.

The old cac that played Immortan Joe killed his role.

The first time I watched it I liked it. BUT it was one of those situations where I heard it was getting rave reviews before I walked into the theater, and, being a sucker for action flicks, pretty much FORCED myself to love it before the movie even started.

Every single time I rewatch, I find myself wondering why the fukk this movie was so critically acclaimed. I actually cannot fathom it. Besides the aesthetics and the unique special effects, NOTHING about this movie stands out. And if those 2 are all it takes to get a great score, then I guess Pacific Rim should've gotten a 90+ on RT too. I mean this is your TO-A-TEE, minimal plotline, minimal characterization, minimal acting, nothing but action and drivel stereotypical action movie--the kind of movie you'd see in a children's cartoon as a parody mocking how shytty and senseless your average action movie is--and yet, it got a 97% on RT. It actually blows my mind.

you just answered your own question breh

it's 2017.. the ONLY action films we get anymore are comic books movies... which have about 5 scenes of action, are 2-3 hours long, and the rest being literally drama filled dialogue

why you think the expendables was doing so good for a time there... and the new rambo... both with money made and reviews

lets not even get into john wick and it's over the top bullshyt shootouts and lack of plot and dialogue



people are generally missing movies filled with campy, mindless, blow shyt the fukk up, shoot shyt the fukk up, killing, bloody, sexy, violent action flicks of old... they are tired of seeing war movies and (not tired) of comic movies being the ONLY action flicks out

mad max is a throwback to throwing on a flick, grabbing some beers, having some friends over, turning up the stereo on 30, and yelling and talking all through that shyt without caring about missing anything important being said nor taking a 30 minute break to watch the avengers fight each other verbally again

It's a technical masterpiece.

But much like a film like say gravity,I have 0 desire to ever watch it again.

It's the best u turn ever put on film.

Fast and the furious is one of the biggest franchises in film history now,so writing ONLY is incorrect.

And the new xxx dropped last month and is well over 300 million at the box office.

Purely speaking for myself, I loved it. I watch it whenever it comes on.

fast and furious is not a shoot em up, action movie like any of the ones just explained

and XXX didn't come back out until after mad max



i didn't make the jump from the 80s to now... shyt matrix was out... and i named the sly movies that was just released in the 00s and 10s


but you asking about mad max.... it was on that level... since the comic movies been coming out, action movies have died off... start to finish, body count high as fukk, R rated, big explosions, we going to war minus the army and actual war scenarios, action movies

i bet every great review of this movie will have some part of it saying the same

 

[SilverSamurai]

But Captain America Civil War exists

 

[NobodyReally]

Never gets old

Never. I think I saw it like 10 times in the theatre, I kept bringing new people with me as an excuse to see it again.

What the fukk are you talking about?

 

[Cartier Murphy]

I bought this movie digitally, and I never buy movies. It's like the only one I own. I loved it, so much. Sat in the theater like when I first saw it.

 

[boskey]

I slept off when I saw it in the theater

It was a boring movie IMO. Like the highway chase scenes from Matrix 2 and Bad Boys 2 stretched out for 2 hours

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

That just made mad bank. Nobody rates it highly now tbh

yeah avatar hasn't had this enduring legacy. It just made a lot of money so it will always be talked about for that but meh

I'd argue it doesn't have as much of a legacy because 3D TV's never became commonplace in every home. the movie is a 3D experience, it just isn't the same in 2D. and yes you can make an argument that your movie should be good enough to not view in 3D but I think you miss a huge part of the experience. I have the 3D Blu-ray and the 3D even at home is incredible.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

If Michael Bay made that exact same movie, it'd be a 38 on Rotten tomatoes

Dudes only been in like 5 things....he was also the villian Toe Cutter in the original mad max

Love fury road but can see why people consider it overrated.
