theboyangel Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hmmm not sold on Mad Max - yes, it was visually stunning with some great stunts and set-pieces but I thought it was rather 'hollow' plot-wise. In my opinion. none of the characters (especially Max and the baddie - who wasn't great) were developed into anything substantial and therefore I never had any affinity or empathy to them. This was probably to give the film a 'retro' feel like the original but it didn't work for me (and I like the original) It was a good car-chase but I wouldn't rave about it.

Designer1 Posted February 29, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 29, 2016 Beautifully shot, with an acting masterclass from Ian McKellen and an interesting take on the Sherlock story. Loved it to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I liked mad max, if you watch it in the context of a summer blockbuster it's superb, if watch it in the context of a Oscar best picture then it's going to start falling down but I doubt that was the recognition they were after anyway In my mind you should be sat watching that asking why transformers is continually so shit (we all know the answer...) not worried about the simplicity of the story or character development etc, it's pure eye candy and it really works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I really enjoyed Fury Road, but when I tried to watch it a second time, I couldn't make it past 10 minutes w/o being bored stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they did achieve something quite good. Everything is slightly dumbed down, but it still stays within the same kind of spirit as the first. And you do have the option for subtitles, which I opted for. I hate dubbed films with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Mad Max was hugely enjoyable. It has flaws but so do all films. Carol was the best film I saw last year and will stand the test of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 i said the impact of the original, what i mean by that is that CT,HD was a hugely influential film, $200m in profit, universally acclaimed, first martial arts film to win foreign language oscar for 50 years, first martial arts film ever up for best picture, probably the most significant martial arts film since enter the dragon, introduced hollywood to the genre of wuxia, almost definitely the most successful asian film in american cinema history and thats at a time where the matrix could probably have a decent argument for best martial arts film of the previous decade... the new one is fighting a fight it cant win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
