Every once in a while something comes along where I seem to be on an island and I truly don't get it. I couldn't even get through 30 minutes of Mad Max. It just laughable to me. I truly don't understand what people see in that, but I know I'm in the minority. In fact, I didn't even get it at all. I had no clue what was going on. Just bizarre.

I was actually kind of excited to see it because of the rave reviews from people here....only to have the same reaction you did. I know we're in the minority saying that it sucked, but like you, I only made it about 20-30 minutes in before finally having enough.

Did either of you see any of the previous Mad Max movies prior to seeing Fury Road? Just asking because maybe what you were expecting the movie to be isn't what the series is really known for.

Spotlight was good.

What I think you're saying is, it was a Mad Max movie.

Mad Max: Fury Road is the only action blockbuster that's ever made me cry simply out of sheer awe for how good it is.

I'd say the first 15-20 min is the weakest part of Road Fury. I don't think the opening is bad, but once the movie gets going it's one of the best action movies ever made.

My Mad Max review:

Mad Max is probably best summed up with this hypothetical conversation.

Person 1: "Hey, you remember the 30 minute chase scene that was non-stop battle and explosions and full of vehicles, weapons, armor, and fighting that was all so absurd that it's most at home in the fever dream of the 10 year old son of an oil tycoon?"

Person 2: "Which one?"

It was awesome.

I never got in to Md Max, so I didn't see the new one, and probably won't.

I didn't even know there were other Mad Max movies until reading your comment, so no.
