Overused effets, practical or not, and sped up action scenes made this a boring chase without suspence or someone to root for. No?

Machete Kills and Mad Max Fury Road are not even in the same universe quality wise.

@spider-manwins: Machete is a parody of an action movie. It started out as a fake trailer in a Tarantino episode. Mad Max is pure action, but that's what it's supposed to be. It's bad ass. Just like the original trilogy.

@eyedcyou: idk, it just seemed cheesy when i saw the trailer in theaters

" a man reduced to one instinct, survive"

That along with people riding on weird vehicles, and using the guitar on it..

There were guitar flamethrowers, insane explosiong every 3 seconds, and then concert bands on buses

It was decent, but definitely not even close to as good as the first to Mad Max films.

OP needs to give some in-depth reasoning to support his claim. I've seen plenty of movies where they were highly rated and I didn't see anything esspecially interesting to me or had too many faults, which is why I'm often skeptical when reading comments saying "omGG this was the best movee evar1!!!"

What 'exactly' made it meh?

@dr_harlequin: Well like you said it wasn't interesting, the chase starts immediately and it's just that with some forced attempts of plot here and there. There's no suspense in watching the good guys win the chase for the 5th time against a bunch of bad guys who aren't doing or saying anything frightening to make you feel they're dangerous, action scenes are sped up or cut to the point you can't tell what's going on and for all the practical effects and stunts most of the things happening are extremely ridiculous and unreal.

Uhh... no

Obviously not to the extent of the new film, but they were still about weird people and cars primarily.

@eyedcyou: That's why it wasn't interesting, it's a world where people kill each other for gas and some guy is posing with his flamethrower guitar on top of a truck full off speakers? Wez would kill that guy to fill his bike.

@dimitridkatsis: Miller wanted this one to be more theatrical. The bad guys from Fury Road (I can't think of their name) were probably some of the richest people on the planet in terms of resources. They had gas to blow to make sure they always had a song going during their war parties.

@spider-manwins: you aren't alone. Personally the look of the film didn't speak to my taste. Maybe I'll watch it someday if it shows up on Netflix but I have no desire to spend money to see it.
