The People Who Are Complaing Have No Idea What They Are Talking About

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2015)

I can't believe the number of people who have the audacity to be so inattentive and ignorant when complaining about this movie. It's inexcusable, and it's turning a lot of people off from this masterpiece, so I'm going to deconstruct all of their incorrect arguments for those who haven't seen: "There's no story and dialog/terrible story." Sure, there's very little dialog and exposition, but that does not mean there is no story. Mad Max: Fury Road excels in visual storytelling, a unique and interesting form of storytelling which very few big budget Hollywood titles use. If you think there is no story, you simply aren't paying attention to the movie. While the overall story is fairly basic and predictable, the amount of depth put into the situations and the way they are woven together, as well as small details throughout the movie and references to Miller's other work, is so masterfully done that it overshadows all of this. Besides, a movie does not NEED to be complex to be good. I've seen the movie 3 times now and each time I notice a new detail I had never noticed before. "It's all just one long action segment/car chase." ... And? Isn't that what you pay for when you go to an action film? Isn't that why the name of the genre is "ACTION"? Take a look at the latest Fantastic Four, it did the exact opposite of Mad Max in terms of plot, backstory, narrative and build-up vs. pure, raw, exciting, intense action, and look at the difference in response between them. It's also masterfully directed, using a tracking technique where the action is always being followed precisely between shots. This was covered in the Mad Max Film Theory Video if you're interested in this technique, as it really makes the film much better than all the shitty action segments Michael Bay puts out. "It's feminist propaganda." This is false. The want to be free from oppression and sexual slavery from a brutal, oppressive dictator, as well as the idea of women being diverse, in terms of beauty, skills and character, and capable of being on the same level as men, is not exclusive to feminism. Really, it's an idea that all human beings who aren't scumbags should embrace. "The film is full of CGI."/"The film is boring."/"(Other Strange Generic Argument from someone with Insanity or a Meth Pipe)." What are you talking about? Did you even watch the same movie? Did you too, like the people who say it has no story, just not even look at the screen for more than 5 seconds before declaring you were bored? Did you forget to take your ADHD meds today? Alright, rant over. Seriously, this movie is one of the best action movies of all time. There's a reason it's being praised by everyone who has any sort of sense of what makes a movie good. it's incredibly entertaining and brilliant, unique yet familiar, and you need to watch it considering those points above.
