@sargentd: Compared to many modern Western action movies Fury Road was a masterpiece. But I do think it's pretty overrated. Some assholes putting it above shit like Terminator 2 are just fucking delusional.
Like stated above, kind of the problem I have with it compared to the OGs (1/2/3) is that it's more stylized, looks like a comic book come to life, but at the same time, it's far more artificial feeling.
Like, this storm sequence is awesome, but I feel absolutely 0 tension because I know what I'm looking at is a computer game with real people in front of it.
Like if you jump to stuff like 80/90s Hong Kong stuff, while it might not be as grandiose in a nature, alot of it rando streets and such, when people jumped out 3 floor windows landing on top of cars, or hung off cars, just generally really dangerous stuff, they done it for real. That to me is more exciting.
Not to say Fury Road doesn't have a lot of stunts, because it does. But the computery stuff, not big on.
