Mad Max is one of the most overrated movies I have seen in a long time.  Yes, it was a fun movie, but that was it.  Little to no character development, questionable plot, no real tension (thrills, yes. tension, no).  Really, it was just a chase film in the desert with a lot of action and cool cars and makeup and no real purpose. 

I get why people liked it, but it wasn't Oscar worthy, it was just an interesting action movie.

The people voting thought it was.  It was a different type of film.   I'm going to go on a limb here, but you may not understand how Mad Max films work, right?  All we know is some tragedy in his past but he's really an observer, a survival, and a witness of things happening, we're just along for the journey.   He wasn't even the main guy in this movie.   That's the purpose of the movie, is just a day in the life of Max and whomever he's in the mix with.   The movie was action and thrills the whole time, and if some of those scenes didn't have tension for you, I'm not sure what to say, but the theater I was in disagreed.   It takes a great director and good actors to keep your attention in a movie like this that is nonstop.  

When you look at the film on a whole, it's definitely worthy.  The action, effects, makeup, directing, etc.

Birdman won last year and had none of those things you listed, however it was a new thing and everything on a whole worked together like Mad Max did.

Actually, I do understand what Mad Max is all about.  Doesn't change the fact that it is nothing more that a fun action movie without much depth.  The only tension in this movie was based on the thrills that came from the action.  That can make for an enjoyable movie, but not one with emotional depth and meaning.  I didn't say this was a bad movie, just not Oscar worthy.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”

      Sign him up. I am willing to bet he wouldn't finish a game with -2 yards.

      Why Panthers’ Dave Canales won’t run a QB sneak with Bryce Young

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      He is just fuging limited in every way.  On one hand, and nfl player, you would want to bulk them up so long as it doesn’t limit their mobility, elasticity, flexibility, ROM, or dynamicism - as is the concern with bulking up.  But the issue with that is, you would be worried about that when a guy has those traits to begin with.  Bryce is a very average athlete with a weak arm.  So if you’re not gonna be a great athlete with a strong arm, bulk up.  And if you can’t or won’t bulk up, find another fuging profession that doesn’t require athleticism and arm strength.  You’re built like a bitch AND aren’t a great athlete - you can’t be subpar in both categories…  well, unless you play for the Panthers apparently.
