Visually stunning. Crisp, shiny and delightful to the eye.
Acting good. Not as great as some have made it out to be in my opinion. Oscar Isaac just about the best of the lot, but the AI girl isn't that far off. Domhnall Gleeson was a bit disappointing, thought the film could've been far better if he was better.
And then the ending... Very generic I must say. I expected more.
So overall it's basically just tension building, human - AI interaction, with a bit of mystery here and there and twists that I could feel coming some way off.

I don't see how Gleeson was disappointing and the ending was generic. Gleeson did great, he pulled of the naive, gullible character perfectly. As for the ending,

Anyway a big fan of the dude. 2 films slated to release with him at the helm, Midnight special and Loving. So cant complain tbf.

The Aquaman script doesn't have a writer yet though, Wan and Nichols were both rumoured to be the director. And I think multiple writers have had to the their take on the character. Nothing set yet. Would love Nichols' take though. Can probably not use Shannon in it though. Watch him fight for a Zod flashback

I see. Thanks for the insight.

Finally watched A Bittersweet Life Laughing

Where Firenze at now

Watched Mad Max. Good popcorn movie. Nothing more.

I'm with Ganso aswell.

Loved the soundtrack btw.

by MaraVilla Sun May 24, 2015 2:52 am

The mad max circle jerk is sickening.

I'm in the same boat as Ganso... Enjoyed it, a solid popcorn action flick but nothing special. I like hardy as an actor but he didn't own the MM role, 0 charisma.

The guy with the guitar Laughing

Popcorn action flick is trash like expendables or movies like 300

pls go with the poverty opinion

by M99 Sun May 24, 2015 12:33 pm

Going to break the combo chain of "Mad Max is an overrated popcorn flick"

Just watched it. Holy shit. I'm still catching my breath. With the insane hype from people who watched it I thought I might be disappointed but it completely met any expectation I had. One of the best action films I have ever seen. That flamethrower guitar guy was GOAT rofl

This is a movie I know I will want to watch again, in no way was this just a popcorn flick, this was something special. By that logic, every action movie is a popcorn flick Laughing

All the characters were great, I would not mind seeing Furiosa again in sequels but that's not usually how Mad Max film rolls. Awesome films, the car chases were just :bow:

George Miller is a GOAT

I don't know whether these are really opinions or something to just stand out in a hipsterish way and elicit "mad" reactions. One post in particular screams the latter.

PS: And RG pls go, 300 was great.

by RealGunner Sun May 24, 2015 1:57 pm

Nah just hipsters. If a movie is getting 95%+ in RT, Metacritic and is getting outstanding reviews by nearly every critic. There are bound to be hipsters

by LeVersacci Sun May 24, 2015 2:09 pm

Mad people got different opinion on Mad Max yet calls 300 shit Laughing

This ain't you RG.

by RealGunner Sun May 24, 2015 2:19 pm

you probably rate transformers over mad max brah

pls go

by LeVersacci Sun May 24, 2015 2:23 pm

So much salt lmao. And no. Transformers is the definition of garbage.

by Kaladin Sun May 24, 2015 2:25 pm

tbf, the first transformers was aight

As a massive fan of Matt Damon. Can't wait for this one.

by dostoevsky Sun May 24, 2015 2:36 pm

Hopefully we don't see a repeat performance of the last time Damon put on a space suit. Laughing

by RealGunner Sun May 24, 2015 2:38 pm

Oh god the horror

DNA really said that, didn't he hmm

I like Damon despite his character being awful and hitting you over the head through the entire movie.

by El Gunner Sun May 24, 2015 8:03 pm

Liked Damon in Interstellar, liked the character.

PS: it would be great if people could have different opinions about movies Rolling Eyes

by RealGunner Sun May 24, 2015 9:25 pm

no it wouldn't imo

by elitedam Mon May 25, 2015 12:08 am

300 was great.

I was gonna watch Mad Max in the theater when I was in Rio but it was only shown in 3D so I skipped it. It's too bad. It seems like it would be a great movie to see on the big screen.

by Kaladin Mon May 25, 2015 12:13 am

I'm not a fan of watching movies in 3D, i personally see it as a gimmick imo. Other than it hurts my eyes, its weird since i wear medical glasses lol

..But i wouldn't miss the chance to see Mad Max if i were you, i'm sure you can find other theaters hmm

by elitedam Mon May 25, 2015 1:16 am

Yeah, it's definitely gimmicky BS and it gives me headaches so I ignore movies in 3D completely. I already left Rio so it's too late. I live in a smaller city so the theater here is probably some 40 inch 480p screen with the movie being dubbed.

That was like being smashed in the face with a sledgehammer by a feminist. I mean, it was about as subtle as that anyway. Can't wait for Stefan Molyneux to do a review.
