funny note: I was telling a friend of mine about it, he says "yeah my wife wants to see it" , I keep telling him how "balls to the wall crazy" it is, etc.
We then realize he was talking about Max, that feelgood family movie about the german shepherd.
watching it, thought I was going to fall out of my seat at one point. foot to pedal, pedal to the metal and just a wild ride. Can't wait to see it again
but then it got all these amazing reviews. And every one of them was right. It was a good movie with enough exposition to make you care, but not enough to stop it from being so action-packed you can hardly handle it. Best popcorn movie in recent memory.
and never posted my thoughts cause I expect to get hammered, but I thought it was awful. I don't think a main character has had so few lines since First Blood, and none were remotely memorable. Zero character development. Practically zero dialogue. Basically a 3 hr car chase in the desert. Car rolls over in a cloud of dust. Repeat. A campy mess, filled with over-the-top grotesque buffoons. Gout man? Bullet teeth? Metal guitarist playing a flaming guitar on a car loaded with amps? and then the amp-car crashes and the guitar slowly comes at you in 3-D....oooh....cheeseball. The only enjoyable moment in the movie was when it ended.

Seeing the previews and knowing what you were getting into you expected renown character development and rank dialogue exchange? I'm sure you didn't think it was going to be the same type of verbal communication as is in the Social Network or Dead Poet's Society, did you?.... LMAO!
But I saw Road Warrior a week ago, and I was interested in that Max from the jump. Probably cause he had a dog. This one had not a single interesting character. Plenty of cheese though. And a nice long car ride.
Well i certainly would have found a way to watch it when I was 12. And I would have loved it. But it's somewhat gory and very violent and dark. My parents were kind of liberal with that kind of stuff, within reason, but everyone is different. Depends on what you or the kids would be freaked out by. It's 2 hrs of mayhem and violence.
I watched many of the great horror movie by the time I was 12. But I usually watched them by sneaking into the theater. Pay for one movie see others...

Completely agree. Walked out half way through. It was a movie for 14 year old boys.

Your opinions on anything are null and void after getting obliterated by Bill2. You're completely irrelevant in here.
a lot of 14 year olds made purchases of R Rated tickets if it raked in close to $400 million worldwide...does it count if I went twice being I'm 28.
And Mr. R. I'm curious as to why you'd purchase a ticket to see this movie? What kind of movie did you think it would be? The trailer wasn't deceptive at all was it?
is just a big car chase is like saying Jurassic Park was just a bunch of dinosaurs....Meaning that's kind of the point. Did the trailer not make that clear?
Road Warrior had the same structure. Did you just blindly buy a ticket not knowing anything about Mad Max movies?

What a lovely day!
I watched it again and loved it even more. Fury Road is nearly flawless.
You're entitled to your opinion....
Just know that you're wrong
It was what it was, a post apocalyptic movie...
I thought it was their version of the drummer boy.
