....................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 mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
