Everyone keeps saying this is a great movie, but I haven't found one person to tell me why. They all juat say it is great.
So, why? I still haven't watched it, I want someone to actually back up all the hype
>>63515224
it's great.
a great movie.
you should watch it, you'll see it's great.
>tfw if the movie had ended in that fiery sandstorm it would have been a solid 10/10
>>63515263
Why is it great? I'm tired of hearing the same thing
>>63515224
It's pretty great.
Not at all. Its one of the ugliest and most retarded films in recent History. And those garish, cartoonish, orange and blue colors produced in computers should be illegal. Really, why do people love to be submitted to this kind of empty horrifying visual and aural aggression? A fascistic anti-human audiovisual experiment. Simply put cirque du soleil for bros.
>>63515263
I agree. It's great. Great.
>>63515370
It's great. You might be missing the point of it. It's great.
Maybe you should quit being a huge sopping pussy and watch the film you knuckle dragging, unobligated sheep

If I had to put it in laymens terms it's great.

Either trollling or you legitimately have no reason to think it's great and just go with it since you are a pretentious faggot

I would if someone could actually say something about it, other than "it's a great movie, watch it"...
>>63515224
Worldbuilding was fascinating and subtle, the characters were broad yet interesting, and the action was fucking incredible.
Damn shame about the plot though.

he can't watch a movie and decide for himself what to think let alone articulate it so he needs to come into the movie with preconceived expectations so he can reassure them to himself

it's fucking metal as fuck, it feels like a 2000AD comic book from the 90s. It's just really super badass.
Its nothing special, but its fun. Its nice to take a break from serious things for a while and watch some crazy shit like Mad Max.

what else do you want from an ACTION ADVENTURE FILM
it's not a fucking twisting, dark, cerebral crime drama...it's AN ACTION ADVENTURE FILM
enjoy it for what it is, or fuck off
but i guess you can't, so don't watch it.
It does a good job being about the things it does best, ie non-stop action and not relying on a retarded plot to carry the bulk of the film. The plot is pretty dumb, don't get me wrong, but is not what the film is about and they did a good job doing that. Not a bad way to make a film if you ask me.
7.8/10 would watch again while drunk with friends or something
>>63515370
my sentiments exactly. we've come so far that max eats double-headed lizards and turns into sir gruntsalot without even for one second matching the charismatic performance mels delivered with his interpretation over 30 years ago
what a wonder also that whereas in road warrior everyone was hunting for gas because it was so rare and precious here this seems to be not an issue. even less so considering that the villain has a party bus in his entourage with a freak who plays a flame-shooting guitar. and all of the characters drive through the desert for days because re-fuiling is of no concern. gasoline seems to exist aplenty. water not so much, therefore the baddie advises not to get addicted to it. like you can go without i
the digital look of the film, combined with its use of CGI, makes it easily the ugliest film in the series maybe even of this year. the plot a plot? is basically non-existent and where it shimmers through (like zoe kravitz nipples through her shirt) it just proves to be ludicrous, in a film that feels like three hours because it's that repetitive. this is man of shit all over again: one action scene that we have to watch over and over and over. they're driving, shooting, explosions, driving, explosions, shooting, driving, shooting, explosions. after 45 minutes I struggled to keep my eyes open and awake due to it's lack of anything interesting
maybe miller should return to making animated films about dancing penguins
>>63515224
Well shot, good pacing, good stunts, good action, unique look, more subtle performances than your average action movie
It was a good action movie, which is relatively rare nowadays.
Also try watching it for yourself and form your own answer, if you actually care.

>I want someone to actually back up all the hype
A large part of the hype was that everyone expected a 77 year old man shamelessly rebooting a franchise that hasn't been in cinemas in 30 years under big studio pressure to be just another play-it-safe PG-13 cash-grab shaky cam CGI shitfest with modern quippy dialogue. So the expectations were pretty low and people expected it to be a low-effort film.
Instead we got an R-rated frankly strange movie with really impressive visual effects, great real stunt-work, and a lot of surprises. Simple premise, visual storytelling over dialogue, fantastic design and world building, great score and memorable characters. Again directed by a 77 year old grandpa who's last film credits were a pair of CGI dancing penguin movies.
The film was more surprising than anything and did a lot of things that defies modern blockbuster conventions, didn't really stick to the formula and didn't make a lot of money as a result, but was so different and fun to watch that people adore it.
>>63515645
Not sure that made any sense, but it's a fun and interesting movie that does a great job at getting you sucked in its universe without sacrificing the pace or focusing on an uninspired storyline

>>63515224
It's a great movie because everything just works.
The world created is believable in its own right.
All the characters have motivation and work in their own way
Max is a traumatized weirdo not used to speaking anymore hence he finds it awkard to talk
Infact all the communication is just straight to the point toward whatever goal needs to be achieved. Just like in a survival situation.
The scenes are shot in an interesting way, that is too say it's not boring back and forth, things move around, good effects, vehicles, the scenery blends well together.
There is a genuine feel to this movie, unlike i.e. a Star Trek 2009 which was completely forgettable like so many blockbusters (same goes for all those superhero movies), this movie wasn't as bland and forgettable as those.
The way this movie works and was put together speaks volumes and if you aren't fucking retarded you see it's a lot smarter than it looks compared to many other million dollar blockbuster on various levels.

>>63515661
When people say Mad Max: Fury Road was "overhyped", they actually mean "inaccurately hyped".
Fury Road is inaccurately hyped in that the entire film has become the jacket from Drive. The meme-elevation of George Miller to greatest living filmmaker is itself a condensed, inverted version of the ridiculous meme-demonization of figures like George Lucas and Shyamalan.
People who literally do not know what cinematography is now write book-length fantasies about how 'lazy' JJ Abrams is, or devote entire webseries to debating whether Matthew Vaughn is racist. It's a false progressivism based around punishing celebrities' perceived sins - lust, greed, sloth, etc. - via endless twitter campaign.
No nerd has ever gotten insanely mad at (say) Wim Wenders or Jane Campion, and nobody gave a thought about Miller when he made Babe and Happy Feet. But once someone makes a film in a science fiction/superhero franchise universe... God help us all.

Describe a bad movie then, it doesn't really matter.
People are so used to having characters standing around yelling exposition at each other than when a movie doesn't bother to do that and opts to show instead of tell people claim it's brain-dead.
>>63515777
If there were no memes, why do you have all the chrome paint amazon reviews or the MLP dolls painted to look like Furiosa?
(Meanwhile Michael Bay in Transformers 4 mocks this kind of meme-thinking when the Pony plushie transforms into the gun while the nerd grins in joy.)

Arguably the direction is worse in some ways than the most recent transformers movie. Here's a short sequence from Transformers 4, without much apparent CGI. It's largely just a practical car being lifted away on a crane, with the character Tessa trapped inside:
https://youtu.be/aJl5piv1FrY?t=2m22s
And you can compare it to the brief moment in Fury Road where Cheeto gets grabbed by a polecat. You can see a few of those shots in the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/hEJnMQG9ev8?t=1m43s
Now, you can see that the two films are not dissimilar in their presentation. The above sequence is shot and edited like a scene in Fury Road - but does a much better job of conveying the horror of the situation. (Miller isn't incompetent or anything, you can see what's going on, but it doesn't really convey it.)
>>63515648
>we've come so far that max eats double-headed lizards and turns into sir gruntsalot without even for one second matching the charismatic performance mels delivered with his interpretation over 30 years ago
that is because the character Mad Max actually evolves. The idea is that Max has been alone all this time. so he hasn't spoken for 20 years. hence the grunting.
>the characters drive through the desert for days
one day and a night. they literally say it in the film. and they have a fuck-off huge tanker full of petroleum with them. did you even watch it?
>shooting, explosions, driving, explosions, shooting, driving, shooting, explosions
yeah, so fucking what?
>after 45 minutes I struggled to keep my eyes open and awake due to it's lack of anything interesting

I have to assume that people who care about plot aren't huge fans of action movies. Really, FR had a better plot than most.

Ayy no problem m8
It's impossible to talk about it here, though.
Also, the level of detail with the medical stuff (stabbing Furiosa to get her to breathe again, whatever the fuck Joe was wearing, etc.) was insane. This was a labor of love for Miller, and it fucking shows.
People all the time confuse 'strong female character' with 'a female character who is strong'. A female character who is both well-written and 'weak' is inconceivable, so we end up with another string of thinkpieces celebrating Ripley from Aliens and/or slut-shaming Megan Fox because of her clothes.

>Also, the level of detail with the medical stuff (stabbing Furiosa to get her to breathe again, whatever the fuck Joe was wearing, etc.) was insane.
The vast majority of appreciative posts in this forum are devoted to transcribing the film's plot (e.g. "I just noticed that Optimus Bonius, this character who appears In the background for three seconds, is probably the Bullet Farmer's personal chef. There's so much attention to detail!"). The storytelling has fallen to the wayside. Even when talking directly about the cinematography, you get memes (and not even funny memes) like the center frame thing.

>>63516284
Ok, what's wrong with it?
In the case of Fury Road, scene is a good example of where the film is let down by the frenetic style, because Cheeto's capture is reduced to basically another plot point/action beat. What's going on in the left-hand side of the frame? The shot is perfectly balanced and symmetrical, and the emphasis is on the other characters' reactions: "oh no, Cheeto has been grabbed".

Well, ok. Let me show it to you.
Transformers 4 is successfully using cinematic techniques to make an actress (who, in reality, was in no danger) appear utterly trapped - to make a normal car look like an inescapable prison.
You can see that both shots employ the same slightly bent, V-shaped window to enframe the action. The compositions are extremely similar. Instead of a net prop, Miller simply uses the foreground characters' flowing hair to fill the area outside the V. The red hair and the net are, in other words, functionally equivalent.
The compositions are very similar even though the contexts are different. The Fury Road shot simply shows the character being dragged away from the enclosure (the comfort and safety provided by her friends) while Transformers 4 shows her being dragged away by an enclosure. Same diff.
The real issue is that Fury Road is depicting a girl being abducted into sex-slavery by a dude in a Texas Chainsaw getup, and it's not the least bit horrific. The presentation is the same as any other stunt in the film: the woman's just dead-centre in the frame, there's little that makes the character grabbing her menacing. The camera angle is straight-on, only tilted up slightly. Like I noted before, the composition is perfectly balanced and symmetrical. And the shot's length doesn't let the impact set in. Then it cuts almost-immediately to Furiosa's reaction: it's all about her. I'd characterize it as 'neutral', 'objective', 'documentary'.
