I'm a sucker for Mad Max, really enjoyed Furiosa on the titan screen

I heard Mad Max doesn't make an appearance (Mel or Tom) so I didn't go. Last "blockbuster" I saw was Kingdom of TPOTA. Pretty good I thought.

no because it's a prequel/origin story of furiosa

Yeah shame he wasn't. Even a cameo. Token appearance Might have helped the box office for it.

Are they making a Mad Max sequel? Might bring back the old legend Mel for a run.

1 scene

Hope they bring back Tom or Mel for another sequel

Just watched Axel F. A walking talking throwback Enjoyed it very much

[Botman]

I watched Furiosa over the weekend too, thought it was pretty good!
I enjoyed fury road and this fit in quite nicely with that film

[The Nickman]

I've never seen a Mad Max movie in my life

[PNGRaider37]

They are great films. The ones with Mad Max that I've seen at least. Can't speak for the new ones that dont have Mad Max in em.

I rewatch Road Warrior at least once a Year.

For what reason would you not see films soley on the basis that they dont have Mad Max in them?
He's not THAT compelling as a character that the universe cant exist without him

I've seen them all and honestly Fury Road the best of them. Furisosa isnt quite on that level. But it's better than at least 2 of the Mad Max films

I love Mad Max 2, probably based on cars and it was filmed locally at Stockton Beach where I'd spent a big chunk of my youth.
Fury road I loved mainly because of Furiosa, Prequels are always a bit awkward due to characters having to survive/develop or whatnot as you know their endpoint.

When Bubba died in Forrest Gump I stopped watching, because he was that good of a character and I refused to watch the rest knowing he wasn’t going to be in it any more.

I just never got around to watching it. I have a life you know

My basic logic is, a mad max movie without mad max isn't enough to compel me to fork over 30bucks for tickets and popcorn. I might wait for it to pop up on 7flix, but no one should hold their breath.

Overall, I prefer the original incarnation (Tom Hardy wasn't that bad either) of a less talk, more action stoic hero - trying to survive in a barren wasteland while doing some good along the way after all the bad **** that happened to him. If that's not for you, no worries

Bubba wasn't the main character in Forrest Gump though. Did you even watch the movie?

It's my favourite as well. Well made action film.

Yeah, that's the problem with prequels aye - you know where theyre going to end up. Apart from Maybe Star Wars prequel trilogy, I can't remember there being too much hype over prequels, especially for a supporting character. Although I might pay money to see a Les Grossman prequel #DietCoke

Anyone seen the new Bad Boys movie? worth the 30 bucks or not..

I went to see Gladiator 2 this morning. I was pleasantly surprised by the story the film told. The original Gladiator has been on TV twice this week on different stations and it would be worth having another look at that to refresh your mind on the original. The movie starts a little slow but soon cranks up to set the baseline for the story line.

Imo the new Gladiator Paul Mescal, is not as good an actor as Russell Crowe was in bringing the original Gladiator to life. But there are some very good performances from Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian), Denzel Washington and Connie Nielsen. The movie runs for more than 2 hours, but I liked the story and twists that unfold. A number of questions left over from the first movie are answered in Gladiator 2.

How to Make Gravy was better than I expected, it's got to be Australia's best Christmas movie.. it sure as hell beats Christmas Ransom out the park.. boy that one was trash.

I'm not a huge Christmas movie fan but this movie was enjoyable.
I didn't fall asleep which is the true indicator that a movie is enjoyable.

I took Sid’s advice to watch, saw it yesterday. Seemed a bit similar in style to “Boy swallows universe”, but nowhere near as good. Average at best for mine.

[bonehead]

I went to watch Mufasa, good entertainment but seriously crap cinema.
It's 2024, Event cinemas VMax that i was in and their newest in my area, has no recliners and the screen wasn't big enough for the space, sound was a let down.
It's nearly 2025 and at over $20- a ticket i expect a fair bit more.

I watched Anora today… would have to be the weakest Best Picture winner since Crash.

He was really memorable in a number of roles.

Will always remember Val Kilmer for his role as Bluntman in the film Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
