Mad Max: Fury Road. I thought that was dumbest, most caveman pleasing trash that has ever received that much acclaim. Truly, the entire movie is designed to make a caveman go, "OOhhhH!.... WwAaHh!... FFIIRE!.... DwWoOah!..... HaHhh!..... OOhhhH! LaDy!!...HhaHh!... MAD!!.....WoOoHhh!"
Thank you. I saw it, and it was one of the most boring movies I'd seen in spite of all the effects being thrown at me. Mind you, I went into it having watched Mad Max & Road Warrior hours before, and having skipped Thunderdome (and Waterworld). In all honesty, Fury Road is just "what if we actually made Waterworld the Mad Max sequel it was obviously supposed to be?"
I enjoyed it. Great cinematography and practical effects. My wife? Not so much. She broke it down as.. "oh look! They drove away! Then the drove back! The end! That was the whole movie!"
Wasn't there some water at one point? apart from that, fair summary.
UNGA BUUUNGA!!! >:O
I thought that when it was my first mad max film. Going back to the first one I thought it was amazing.
Lol, I know you deleted this comment (fair), but it still showed up in my inbox. But I get it. Everyone loves that film, so I'm in a very fringe minority here. It's weird, too, because I love the post-apocalyptic genre, but I don't know, man. I just really disliked Fury Road.
Conversely, I really enjoyed The Northman in the same way everyone else does Fury Road. I thought it was a really fun, over-the-top Viking rampage revenge film, with cool cinematography. But everyone hated it.
I loved the northman, the meathorse scene was great.
I was going for feigned outrage for humor, but I ended up deciding I didn't think it was worded well enough
