Ok, so here is why this is one of the best James Bond films ever made. It does a spy story in a pretty close to realistic way. Now, I'm not saying I don't like some of the more over the top things in other films that much. I just love that this feels like it could have happened around a pretty enjoyable agent. However, it is still pretty damn fun to watch unlike some "real" spy films I've seen. I think Connery is really high into his role at this point, and stays that way for a few more before he gets bored.
All the other actors are great in this too, especially the bad guy who goes on to fight a great white shark in a Spielberg film. And a lot of people underestimate the quality of cinematography. I love the entire train scene. It is so long but flies past me it is so good. Anyway, make sure you watch this one if you're interested in Bond a little bit.
Just as amazing as the first two. The plot felt a little bit darker, but the slightly geeky fantasy charm of the previous movies is still here, and the plot is still engaging. And even though we're so far into the franchise, the characters still continues to grow, which is really awesome.
This is still a must see for any fantasy lover, and I can't wait for the fourth one!
After watching "Mad Max: Fury Road", I can say I had alot of fun! If I was rating this movie based on how much fun I had I'd be giving it a nine out of 10. But alas my rating system is based on what I feel the quality of the film is. No I'm not talking points because I had fun watching and I just genuinely feel as though the movies a fine seven outta 10.
There are a lot of aspect in the film that were genuinely impressive. The cinematography was pretty great, the computer-generated imagery was used sparingly. There were some parts that didn't feel visually quite real, but for the most part it wasn't enough to take anybody out at the movies and most of all he was just fun it was like if Death Race 3 wasn't awful.
I'm not gonna complain that there wasn't really much to the story because anybody can tell that the movie wasn't really trying to be heavily story-driven. In all honesty, if the movie is going for the cool and fun factor, I'd rather have it be like this one, where it doesn't spend an eternity dicking around in between the cool and fun scenes. In "Mad Max: Fury Road", the story was just enough so that the cool and fun seems didn't feel stupid and pointless. I like how over the top and ridiculous it was and I wouldn't want the movie to be any other way. In fact I hope the next movie goes even further.
Believe it or not I was reminded of "Army of Darkness" during the fight scene with the chain in the struggle for the gun. There are a few things that annoyed me about the presentation of the movie but they were fairly minimal. There are a few of those family flashback hallucination shots they were a little cheesy, and yeah I know we're talking about the same movie where there's a dude on top of a car playing electric guitar while riding to his death. But I think it's important to differentiate between cheese during something fun and cool
and scenes doing something that's supposed to be dramatic and serious.
As someone that does a lot of editing, there were a few things that were distracting and took me out of the film for bit. When slow footage is sped up to make it look fast, some people just the slow footage sped up to make it look badass.
Overall, this is a FUN and ENJOYABLE MOVIE!!!
