jefequeso: Saw it yesterday. Absolutely incredible in every sense of the word.
Told ya! Soundtrack is on Spotify.

jefequeso: The fact that there are going to be more movies actually worries me. It seems like there's nowhere to go now but down. Then again, I'm sure that's what everyone thought about Fury Road before it came out, given that it was the followup to a disappointing followup, 30 years late, with a rocky production cycle.
More like it seemed like another reboot in the age of reboots. Now most of those reboots weren't terrible, but were often 'Meh', which is precisely what I was expecting when we were sitting down in the cinema with my wife. When I was leaving with a feeling of psychical exhaustion, I just thought "God damn was I wrong". As for the sequels, pretty much, yeah - nobody expected this to be good, and Miller really seems to know precisely what he is doing. This movie is no accident - every detail has a meaning, every part has been made with love and care put into it.

And yeah, as for the fantastic form of exposition, we finally have a big-budget blockbuster which doesn't presume that its audience are a bunch of idiots.

jefequeso: Hence Prometheus.
Well, Prometheus was genuinely bad :-P When a videogame not focused on story provides better exposition than your prequel movie, you've got a problem :-P

If you ignored the many plot holes and just enjoyed the ride, it was quite enjoyable. And the other parts (visuals,acting, etc) were all good. It wasn't a masterpiece, but when placed alongside true garbage like Transformers or The Last Airbender, it holds up fairly well as a "ehh, it was ok, I might see it again" experience.

timppu: I guess they had to put Theron as the lead character this time, instead of Max. Otherwise the movie would have been considered misogynist, and we can't certainly have that.

I kinda miss the 80s when they put strong female leads in action movies because it was cool, not because they had to due to gender politics and shit. You know, movies like Terminator 1-2 (esp. the latter), Aliens etc.
I completely agree with your statement.

It's funny how both your post and mine have got downvoted in this thread. People can't handle the truth.

Or people just don't agree. But sure, it's the internet, so clearly "People can't handle the truth", it's not like we could be reasonable or anything ;-)

So you don't think Furiosa was cool? Have we been watching the same film? :P

That's the lamest Jack Nicholson impression I've ever seen.

It's not cool to shoehorn feminist bs into movies that make it look like the movie will be about male main character.

You want to see what Furiosa(charlize theron) would do in real life apocalypse.

Watch the movie "The Road" and see what happens to her character.

Quote from that site, "If a real apocalypse were to happen, the response of nearly all American women would be: (1) curl up into the fetal position and die; or (2) seek out a male figure to protect her."

Troll harder.

Anyone who considers Return of Kings a source of anything but laughs?

Can you prove what is so laughable about that site?

Your opinion could be considered for laughs too.

It's a place for pathetic little manchildren to commiserate and blame their usually self inflicted problems on Dem Womenz, rather than possessing the basic level of courage required for anything resembling introspection. And then the coward denizens pretend that they possess a single shred of testosterone and put on airs of being the mainliest men in mandom.

That's all pretty funny.

Don't feed that troll. Seriously. He just posts the same hateful trolling in every thread he finds.
