FURY ROAD has been number one at the box office the last couple of days!
It might have done better had it come out before the latest FURIOUS flick?

He was the only actor with any kind of personality in Inception. He was imposing as Bane in TDKR, turned ina solid performance in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
He was ineffective as Shinzon, but it was a role he was miscast in. Actually, it wasnt a very good role to begin with.
Can't the Trekkies forgive him? It's been 13 years!

Watched the Blu Ray Tuesday night and the damn thing wore me out Some of the most incredible action I've seen in some time as far as the car stunts are concerned, the counter-weighted pole dudes and the guys on the flying motorcycles were great. Donna stared watching it with me but after 45 minutes said she either felt like she'd been smoking weed or seriously needed some, and she promptly went to bed .
You can see why the film is constructed as is, dropping you into this wild world, like Max, throwing you off balance and not knowing what the hell is happening for a while. That fairly low key second act does give a much needed breather, and finally sheds a bit of light on characters and motivations, just enough to give the last half hour some weight.
Although the movie was feeling like too much of a good thing, in the end it was really enjoyable. I can easily see getting some Oscar nods in the technical categories, but umm, no, no Best Picture is in the future here. So much of the movie was far out slap ass batshit crazy it was kind of hard to NOT love it. The traveling rock band scoring the chase was hilarious. And the actual film score was fine, did what it needed to do. Not awful but not great.
When I can find this at a good price on Amazon or used locally, no doubt it's gonna be joining my collection. It was a heck of a lot of goofy fun.

I really enjoyed Fury Road. I'm not a big fan of the other Mad Max films or car films in general. But i loved all the practical stunts in this and for the most part found the CGI good too. I also really liked Nicholas Hoult, too. Interesting little character he had. The world Miller created was interesting and without going to much into the minutiae, it did feel like their was a real world outside the car chase. The acting was good and the film held my interest all the way through, and i came out and felt like i could watch another. He can certainly direct action - so i'd be interested if he got a Justice League off the ground, where previously i couldn't have cared less. I also enjoyed the music in spots too.
