Really looking forward to seeing it in IMAX 3D this coming weekend.

True enough. I just don't see this as a radical departure from the sequels, which are all about the exact same thing: Max intervening on behalf of others. I agree with Walter that it's Furiosa's mission that drives the plot. But since Max's own motivations haven't driven a plot since the...

No need to apologize...I'm not asking you to "buy" it. And "sidelined" was Walter's exact phrase, so.... I do agree that Max doesn't have much to do when he's in chains...but that's kind of the nature of being in chains. In a film that moves very quickly, however, that condition doesn't...

I'm not denying that she is a co-star. Of course she's a co-star. And Tina Turner was a co-star in Beyond Thunderdome. Having a co-star and being sidelined are not the same thing. My point is that Max is not sidelined in Fury Road. He is there for every plot development, and his input is...

Everything that we encounter in Fury Road, we encounter through Max. The film follows him as he meets these new characters, and we meet them along with him. He becomes very much a party to what they are doing, and absolutely integral to their ultimate triumph. In essence, it is very much the...

When Max is found, he's basically in a feral state. Conversation, even rudimentary conversation, is something that has to develop over the course of the film. This isn't sidelining, it is the character's arc. Fury Road is a film about Max finding some connection to humanity again. Fury Road...

Nice piece. The extras (about 90 minutes worth of material) go into a lot of detail about how the stunts were filmed, but they don't get into specifics about the rigs. Watched this again last night and was every bit as dazzled as I was when I saw it in the theater. Easily the best of the Max...

Mr. Holmes was an excellent film. The best thing Sherlock Holmes has done outside of television since the '80s...possibly since the '70s. I don't frequently use the word "wonderful" to describe films, but Mr. Holmes was truly wonderful. I also thought Straight Outta Compton was every bit as...

Sorry...should have been more specific in my reply. Which was to Dan.

I found both Gravity and Fury Road to be white-knuckle experiences. Perhaps you are simply immune to excitement? :p

I've been eagerly awaiting this release since I walked out of the theater and picked my jaw up off the floor. One of my favorites this year. Action movies don't come better than this. In terms of sheer eye-popping spectacle, Mad Max was the big winner this year. At 70 years old, George...
