....................Expecting more than just “good” feels like asking much, but Miller is clearly the generous type. Mad Max: Fury Road is better than just good. It’s “great,” perhaps even better, though piling on superlatives too quickly, too soon might do the film a disservice. If Miller had simply aimed just above the line of “serviceable,” he still might have sated his audience’s action cravings. But after maintaining a holding pattern for so long, “satisfactory” wouldn’t have passed muster. Miller knew it, too, so he decided to swing for the fences. Try naming a modern blockbuster that has as much chutzpah as Mad Max: Fury Road. You can’t, because there isn’t one. This is what happens when you lay out all your crazy on the screen at once: glorious, crackling entertainment.

I just watched it and honestly the visuals are a modern day masterpiece, utilizing every ounce of 2015 movie making technology. Its an instant classic for any sci-fi (since its post-apoc) or action fan. The movie puts it foot on the gas both literally and figuratively from start to finish. A must see and instantly the best movie of the year so far. Don't expect your girl to enjoy the story though but she will enjoy the music and visuals, so bring her at your own risk.

Alright well here's my review. No spoilers at all.

 

 

Let's be clear. This movie is freaking awesome. It is the best action movie I have seen in the last 5 years. Easily. I have not been this satisfied with an action movie since the first expendables. You will pay money for this film and be very glad you did. I will buy this movie the day it comes out.

 

Hardy is awesome as usual. He touches a film, his scenes are awesome. He wasn't quite the Max you'll know, but Mel Gibson has a certain style that can't be matched, so Tom just did his own Max. No shame in trying to be your own man.

 

Charlize is also freaking awesome. She is not helpless, she is in control and she rocks the freaking screen.

 

Here are some of the highlights (no spoilers again)

 

All sorts of different kinds of characters who bring something interesting to watch for their scenes.  They'll all captivate you at some point in the film, all of them. The villains are so great

 

The visuals are fan-freaking-tastic. A lot of practical effects that come out looking great and when we went CGI it also shined.

 

The pacing of the film is very nice. It gives you just enough time to catch your breath and come down for the next bang.

 

Action is God tier. It is incredible. The perfect blend of everything. It just feels so good and smooth, yet gritty and rough. Loved it.

 

The apocalypse setting is fantastic. You feel like a world without hope is all there is.

 

 

Go see this movie. It met the hype for me and the hype was unreal.

Just gotta shout out to Charlize Theron, I usually hate waif model types in action movies. Especially when they are supposed to be badasses. I just can't beleive a 110 woman with hair extensions can throw a punch. But for some reason, that doubt never entered my mind with Charlize. Perhaps owing to her outstanding acting abilities, but she was every bit the badass the character demanded. Loved every second of the film! I might have to go back and rewatch it in theaters. It's that spectacular. Exactly what a summer action should be. Exciting without being brainless, or most importantly soulless.

You guys are really going to make me go watch this movie aren't you? At this point it can't possibky live up to the expectations you guys have built for me.

Honestly it was terrible. Don't waste your time or money.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.

      Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
