Mad Max: Fury Road

[Skydrol]

Searched around, could not find anything about the movie. Delete thread if is redundant.

Anyway..... just got the chance to see it last weekend. I believe, the script was a pamphlet and is like watching the Cirque du Soleil on wheels. The wife got bored, me, I was entertained with the oddities.

What is interesting to me is, been an Aussie film nobody seems to say anything about it.

If it flops they'll deny all involvement , if it's a success it's a win for the Australian film industry.

Everyone was raging on about it.

I saw it and got bored.

Max had absoluely no reason to even be in the movie. The entire script was "lets drive to the desert, pop a u turn and go home!"

Yeah it was a decent action movie, but it was just, boring. The dialogue was fairly lacking, there was no real backstory included, Max's visions? I dunno for something that everyone was raving on about, I was really disappointed.

it was ok.. give it a solid 4/10 .. for effort.

I've read a couple of reviews and talked to a few people that have seen it and I'm yet to hear anything good about it, the consensus seems to be that it's a pretty average effort (despite all the hype) so I think I'll save my money?

A lot of the extras and Warboys etc were Aussies, I did notice a few of them from some of the low budget shows that get done here (The guy Spina Bifida for example).

But the only Aussie that had anything resembling a role was Megan Gale.

I just simply dont get the praise its got. If all your interested in is a bit of face smashing gore and yes, sometimes thats all you want, it fufills that craving. However, other than that, its bland. I honestly, dont have any idea why, they hired Tom Hardy (who wouldnt have been cheap) to play that role. Unless they plan to bring him back for "The Wasteland" and this was a introductory to his charachter.

I did love the cars in it though.

Couple of Aussie throwbacks there with the Bathurst Skyline etc.
