Movie review MadMax

[Bajadoc]

I am at the point in life where all Hollywood movies seem like cartoons for kids.

"cut out the scene with them milking the obese women to feed the troops"

Pay for popcorn? You need to find a theater that has free,nor at least discounted refills. Then just visit the trashcan and snag a few empties... Works great on dates, just say "Here, let me get you a popcorn and drinks and you go find the seats."

Though the social aspects of going to movie theaters are grand. Just pick someone you do not know, sit in the seat next to them, and strike up a conversation about your love of gladiator movies.

Caj, if you like Theron, AT ALL; you need to round up a copy of "2 Days in the Valley". It is way before she was a hypocrite, and so modest.

Shame most of you here that have seen it don't like it as I was looking forward to seeing it. I think now I'll give it a pass and maybe rent the original instead as I haven't seen it in years.

G F, I swear, I have been all over Wyoming at least six times through the years;..... talked to every form of human I came in contact with; while at the post office, motels, grocery stores, campgrounds, rural country farms; everywhere.
Most all of them had a dog in the pickup, and a rifle in the window rack, (like it should be), and all the conversations seemed "regular".

And; it is with a peculiar admiration; of some, (most) of your posts, that I say: "I never met anybody in WY. like you" !

What's so interesting about The Ringo Kid's saying he liked Unbroken and Fury is that those are Jolie/Pitt productions.

She's moved more and more into director's chair and he's been a producer of a whole lot of films people have liked.

And they're both gun owners.

Heh heh,one thing I was going to add but you did--is they are pro-second amendment. Ill never watch anything new with sean penn again though but--will watch: Fast Times At Ridgement High--and maybe one other film. Id hate to throw away perfectly good dvds.I thought that Jolie did an excellent job with Unbroken.I hope she does more of this type of movie in the future.

The last movie I was motivated to go to a theater to see and pay the admission price (It was during the discount matinee and I got a senior discount too) was "Fury". I liked it. I can't remember when the last time before that was...Most of what I see advertising new movies if for comic book characters, chickflix, juvenile "comedies" and cheap horror films. In other words, crappola...I saw the Mel Gibson movies back in the 80's and found them unimpressive. I appreciate the review but I didn't need it to know I would pass on this bomb.

The above is the way I feel about most of the junk they churn out these days--Disney is on my no see list--except for the future Star Wars installments--and they will probably screw those up too. Ptrior to the four mentioned earlier--the only two other movies I had seen in ages I liked-were: The Three Stooges and also Star Trek. Prior to that,the last new movie I saw in theater--I THINK was Titanic or Saving Private Ryan.

True, many films today are based on comic books, i.e. Marvel.

But also some fine feature films have been produced in the last several years: American Hustle, The Town, The Departed, Bridesmaids, End of Watch, Nightcrawler, The Drop, Argo, Changeling, J. Edgar, Public Enemies, Money Ball (?), Zero Dark Thirty (?)--just to name a few besides those already mentioned.

After seeing the original Mad Max, years ago, I did not like it so I had no interest in seeing a remake, given the way that genera of movies seems to be goin' these days. We have cable and in 6 months or so, it will be on TV...save the few dollars and time, pop your favorite popcorn...not the bagged kind, and watch the movie, in 10 minutes, you change it to something you are familiar with and like!

 

[M3Stuart]

I liked the original Mad Max movie. In another thread I posted this pic of the Action Figures I picked up (from the cutout bin for a buck-something). They are still mint-in-box

Not only will I go see this movie, I will come back here and post a "...three gallons blood, zero breasts, kung foo, bimbo foo, punk-biker-foo, Joe Bob Briggs gives it two thumbs up" type review. If'n any of you know who Joe Bob Briggs was.

Edit: and I will buy it on DVD. And when I travel the world, which I do frequently, I will show it to my friends overseas and tell them that this is what America is like now. Cuz, it kind of 'is'. Depending on what your definition of 'is' is.

Good review.
One correction.....Charlize Theron, you know of emasculating Sean Penn fame by making him give up his guns, and then both using guns in their hollyweird way of do as I say despite how I make my $$$$$$ millions.

Sean Penn was emasculated long before he met the beautiful but sadly liberal Charlize Theron. In fact I am amazed he had any weapons to give up, and I am even more amazed he was able to spend any time with her for any reason.

 

[Sayoc01]

I saw it....thought it sucked!!I'm old & remember when a movie came out & you asked... how was the acting? Now you ask ...how were the special effects!! Notice(few exceptions)when THEY give a HUGE amount of TV promoting the NEW movie....I mean you see it in commercials on every station! When I see this I think it's going to SUCK!It usually does....AND...you can't trust movie critics either!

I saw it the other night I really didn't care for it. The Road Warrior was a hundred times better.

 

[CaptRon956]

I'll stick to the original....thank you for saving me $20 bux as well...

The wife wants to see this (I don't know why), so I might tag along. We rarely share the same tastes in movies. Though she liked Fury and American Sniper.

 

[wnwitzell]

Liked it! But then again, I liked "Lust in the Dust"!

 

[Rastoff]

OK, against the advice of the good barrister, I went to see this film.

Please don't waste your money. It's terrible. This is coming from someone who likes stupid movies like this should have been.

I just saw this movie last Saturday night with the wife. I liked it but then I like the cars too. The acting left much to be desired but the cars didn't disappoint. There is no comparison to the original though. That one is a classic. I do think the new one is better than the third one though.

 

[UncleEd]

Liked it! But then again, I liked "Lust in the Dust"!

Now that was a great Western.
Don't make 'em like that any more.
