You don't like anything not Harry Potter,MCU or NuTrek.
Originally posted by KazenjiI can't stand the new Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Halloween, etc. I also love the original Transformers cartoons not the current films or cartoons. If you're going to quote me be accurate.
And he doesn't like any of the old franchises unless they do a new version.

A minority can be several people.
If you felt those comments somehow justified your internet rants, just let me tell you it's more of a confirmation of bias thing than anything else. But I don't doubt of your honesty.

As I said, I don't doubt your honesty, but some people don't need forced storylines to enjoy action films (an average plot for such films is quite artificial when it comes down to it).
Originally posted by BentleyThe action itself is lame. The main villain was defeated easily as well. What did you really like about this film ?

Again, the very notion of a main villain needing to lead to some epic combat is just an action trope that is about plot.
The action sequences, lot's of stuff going on at once, pretty much sliming plot down to actually show you stuff happening. Beautiful scenes, quick progression, deep characters that aren't about the talk but about the walk. Great coreography. All this done to an impressive scale. You know, action stuff.
Originally posted by BentleyI thought it was repetitive and didn't really build up. We see the villain easily defeated in an action film. That's lame to me. Might as well watch a Steven S. film in which he casually defeats the main villain when he confronts them. Lame.

So do you think there wasn't any effort into getting to the villain and surviving the ordeal?
Personally I think that forcing every villain to become the same kind of cookie cutter challenge is silly anyways. Besides we both know evil people being cool is just a macho teen mentality poured into plots to artificially up the stakes of otherwise lacking adventures. In real life the difficulty isn't videogame like.
Originally posted by BentleyI didn't think the confrontation with the main villain built up because he was dead before you knew it once he got close. This is fiction so I expect the villain to live up to the challenge in an action flick. Lame.

Loved it personally. Despite their being so many characters on screen they did a really good job of giving them all strong personalities and chose well the ones that you got to see cover a range throughout the movie.
A lot of the tropes like "shiny and chrome" and witnessing one another really played into giving the film its own life as a part of the Mad Max series. It felt like the movie connected with the rest without stealing from them or representing them in a way that took anything from the old ones.
Honestly the only weakness was that because of how well the film brought so many characters to life it became impossible to spend a lot of time on any individuals, though that's not a weakness that's a negative for the movie. I enjoyed the scale of things like the storm, the way that I'm assuming intentionally the shots captured the death of almost everyone killed, playing both to the witnessing but also to the fact that there is a cost to conflict.
As to their being no final epic battle, I think the last car chase through the canyon covers that. They had to fight through waves of the grease boys and take on the son before they brought it to an end, and it's not like a physical confrontation hand-to-hand is the only way to have a strong resolution. That's just small-minded.
Great movie, watched it multiple times.

That's kinda the point some people didn't understand.
There was no need for a final epic battle.
Not every aspect of Max's life has to end with a fight scene.
This movie was more about redemption & salvation, not good vs evil.
