Agreed on that. Don't know why it got the praise it did.

Mad Max was bobbins.
How could anyone have any other expectations? The originals were all horse shite.
At what point did anyone say they did?Originally Posted by Giggles
Everything I read had people sounding surprised it was muck. Anyway, don't get so worked up. It's just a film.
Eh, all the reviews were very positive. Hence the issue.
Mad Max was brilliant ya lunatics. Proper balls to the wall action with the majority done without CGI shiteing the place up.
I was bored out of my mind watching it, but the fires being real has won me round over time.
And the trapeze artists, don't forget them.
Real vs computer effects must have stopped having merit about a decade ago. It has all pretty much been perfected, and the only good point mate criticism, the one about things having a sense of weightlessness to them, is probably more down to us not having many points of reference for what Transformers falling off a building would actually look like.
The difference being long term, real effects last. Check out the first couple of Transformers movies now, they look like absolute arse, likewise many CGI fests of the past. Mad Max isn't a cracker due to that, its due to Hardy's central performance, the whole thing being a film of spectacle, a bit of insanity, and just a fun ride from start to finish.
If you want to watch absolute shit tier action with a large budget, check out Geostorm. Now that's a seriously fucking bad movie. CGI'd out of its cunt and it already looks terrible for it.
Gravity was also full of CGI and that doesn't look terrible.
Geostorm was supposed to be out years ago, but it was shelved because the studio knew it was crap.
Tom Hardy is crap, and the Geostorm (I haven't seen it) cost relatively little for that sort of film.
Gravity won't look shite for a long while as it was pumped out for a 3D experience, if it looked wank-tier after a couple of years there's zero point to it. I can list some more blockbusters if we're gonna head down this route for another page or so.
Go on then big man.
Ahmen to that. One of the most overrated actors going. In fact, I'm not sure how he really qualifies as an actor as in every role he looks like someone who should be having a fight in a pub car park.
You can include Mad Max on that list of films with crap CGI. Any time someone gets launched off their car and disappears into the dirt it looks like complete shit.
Mate I'll let yous have the win I'm hardly gonna convince yas its a good film
Yev shifting from Gosling to Hardy with the same criticisms too. Who is a good leading man these days?
Mad Max seems to be a love or hate film. I haven't seen it but from the sounds of it I reckon I'd be wasting my time.
Oh I haven't shifted, Gosling's still crap too. Albeit in fairness to him, he's a better actor than Hardy.
Tom Hardy can act, he just generally doesn't have to because he's constantly cast to just play himself in whatever he's doing.
Watch The Take, he was terrific in that.
Hardy was very good in Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, I thought. I didn't realise it was him for quite a while.
Tom Hardy did Locke. He can act.
I, Tonya is fantastic, entertaining as hell and all the performances are great. It was risky the way they tried to pull it all together but it totally worked for me.

FILM OF THE YEAR.
April 20th 2018. Mark it on your calendars, lads.
I'm a twit
Looks shit.
Also doesn't it say March 23rd Baz?
Jessica Chastain (and her cleavage which is present in almost every scene) make Molly's game worthwhile. But the story itself is fairly disinteresting, and the moralistic angle that the filmmakers took seems bizarre.
Watched two films:
Jigsaw - Not even entertaining shit like all the Saw films. Shit shit and horrendous shit.
The Disaster Artist - I say watch I had to turn it off after 20 minutes. I don't buy into all this The Room nonsense, its not so bad its good its just fucking really bad and watching the story of Tommy Mumblecore was gonna bore me to death.
Call Me By Your Name is really good. I can see some people thinking it's fucking amazing which I didn't, but I thought it was a really strong film, and Timothy Chalamet is fantastic.
Lots of great gay romances the past few years.
Yeah but IMDb says April 20th.
I'm a twit
Gary Oldman is really good (really good), and it's impressive how they get a black man into the pivotal scene, but Darkest Hour is crap.
Pretty much.
The Room's only as funny as the friends you're riffing on it with.
Geostorm.
Logan just isn't very good, is it?
It's excellent.
Needed more romance for Foe.
The premise of Logan was too stupid (even for those films) for it to be that good.
The Big Sick was a great film.
Watched Midnight Run on Netflix a couple of days ago and it was class. Netflix is pretty damned good for films right now.
War Machine is good.
John Wick is crap.
Desperately clueless.
I've never agreed with you more Magic.
Are you referring to me? Explain yourself.
You, as usual, are the one with the contrary opinion so it is you who should be explaining.
For a start, if I was him I'd be wondering if you're disagreeing with the John Wick opinion, War Machine opinion, or both before proceeding.
John Wick has a couple of good sequences but all in all its pretty much shite.
John Wick is amazing.
John Wick is fucking brilliant.
