    Bikes and cars go vroom, guns go bang, flamethrowers go woosh. 10/10.

    That’s just it, I went in to see a Mad Max movie and that’s what I got. Very satisfied! I think anyone complaining about this movie went in with the wrong expectations. I told my gf before the movie, “I want to see high speed chases, shit flying through the air, explosions, stunts and at last one thing I’ve never seen before.”. I got all that shit and then some! Fuck yeah!

      If I wanted to see that, and turn my brain off, I’d watch a Fast and Furious movie.

      Mad Max Fury Road was not a “turn your brain off” movie. It was extremely well written and acted. It ALSO had cars that go vroom and flamethrowers that go whoosh. It was one of the best movies of the last few decades. That’s a high bar to meet.

      Apparently a lot of people aren’t very thrilled about mad max movies, though. Most of the analysis seems to just be saying “it’s a R movie with niche appeal”.
