Was Mad Max: Fury Road really THAT good?? :whoo:

[MidniteJay]

I posted one time that the excitement for this movie probably would have killed me as a kid. I was into car chase action sequences and vehicle carnage big time back then. Best movie I seen that year

Saw @jmegamar & @HHR talking about it in the Mission impossible thread and it had me like Then I googled it and saw that it had a 97% on RT :ohsnap:

Did I play myself by sleeping on this? Should I cop in 4K? Worth it?

Movie is dope as hell but go into it with the proper expectations. It's not super plot heavy....it's basically a 2 hour action sequence.

Nah the FF movies have plenty of plot. Plenty. Whether it all makes sense is a different discussion lol.

Fury road has a basic story since it’s a chase movie. They need to get from point A to point B before they get caught and the plot is pretty simple in how that all unfolds. It’s not over complicated but that’s not a bad thing

Decent watch but HIGHLY overrated.

That's a movie you can only fully appreciate in a theater. At home MM:FR just doesn't play the same.

Is a movie really so great if it needs stipulations?

Yeah they do have plots, shoulda said action sequences >>>>>plots

It's a two hour chase sequence with zero exposition. One of the GOAT action joints

Yeah most def. fury road won’t bog you down in plot because it’s straightforward. Not a lot of twists and turns and complications. The fact that it’s all practical and all of the character work is accomplished through action and the exposition that’s given is also given through action, works in its favors. Much like Cameron did with terminator 1 and 2, George miller knows the best way to do exposition is in the middle of an action scene

The entire movie is a chase sequence. This movie is a classic in the sense that it can be compared to a silent film movie of which some films consisted of just the chase. As a film major I've seen old black n white movies like that and in my opinion, Mad Max is like those films but on crack.

No arguments or long monologues needed in this film.

The script wouldn't even get greenlighted in Hollywood.

It had to be self-greenlighted because the actions itself is the script and can only be produced by a visionary director who already knows what's going on because most of the movies direction was in his head and not on paper.

Just checked the 4K prices, why that shyt still $30+ Movie old as hell

You should've copped on prime day, as it was 15 bucks then. Well worth it.

 

[Heelmatic]

One of the most overrated movies I’ve ever seen. I was severely underwhelmed after the amount of hype it was getting.

In 4k on a good size TV (55+ inches) and powerful sound system, is fully appreciable and quite comparable to theater experience.
