Mixed. I enjoyed the second one, as much or just slightly less as the first. Either you'll love it or hate it. It does try to outdo the first one. But honestly, with how the first one plays out, I couldn't think of another way to have a sequel play out.
I think it’s awesome. It takes everything good in the first one and amps it up even more. I prefer it to the first
I see. Looks like the typical way of doing a sequel, then. Not that it's a bad thing. If I like the first one, I'll check it out!
A fat Elton John doing kung fu just about summed up this CGI filled abomination.
I didn't bother watching it as Mathew Vaughn still seems pissed he didnt get the CR gig; his efforts to show he is cooler than Bond rub me the wrong way during the first film.
My opinion, of course.
There's a lot to like in the first one. Great film.
The second one is entertaining enough, but didn't move the needle one bit. All in all, it's a bit forgettable overall.
I do like homages, spoofs, and Tarantino films – at least separately. Will be interesting to see if a combination does well or not!
Action and spectacle were superb though!
I think it's a brilliant film but the more I watch it the more it rubs me the wrong way because it's impossible to justify in the context of the others. I did miss Gibson too, not that that really matters though as it was really Furiosa's movie. I know the gimmick is a man with no name type thing where he turns up and helps new characters, but Max felt pretty redundant in this one.
I think the other films are very of their time too. Even with all the practical effects in the new one, it still has a glossy CGI assisted almost video gamey feel. Not that that's a bad thing, literally every modern blockbuster I can think of has it. But the old ones felt really raw and dirty in a way Fury Road just doesn't imo.
Still think it's a great film, better than Thunderdome and I'd probably say I prefer it to the first one too as a movie, but even though it's a great film I don't think it's a good Mad Max film and it definitely doesn't come close to touching Road Warrior imo.
This smug little article will rattle a few cages.
Apocalypse Now, Raging Bull, The Godfather and 2001 are all crap movies? Right...
He forgot to mention any James Bond movie, so he cannot be all bad. ;)
Frankly, I'm surprised it didn't.
Goldfinger starring a Scottish bloke who struts around acting cool during the whole movie, a girl named Pussy (it means vagina...get it! Haw haw haw...this was funny back in the 60s, not so much now) and some gangsters straight out of Looney Tunes.
I don’t mind if people dislike movies everyone else seems to like, or the other way around. But you need to have at least one valid argument to back that up.
That’s not even difficult. I’m not into gangster films is valid enough for me if that’s why you don’t like The Godfather.
However, if you pretend to be a connaisseur and your arguments include: People still pretend it is good, no it is crap, you clearly have no clue what the hell you’re going on about.
Also, use more nuance if you want to be taken seriously. Words like crap, if you’re talking about movies that clearly have at least some merit, are not advisable.
Well said.
Except it’s not enough said since you didn’t give any reasoning at all. Frankly, even with reasoning, to call a film the best or worst ever made is pretty much impossible. Too many great ones and too many horrible ones.
Thankfully Jaws isn't on there ;)
