All Style no Substance

And the substance is one of the reasons i like the movie that much. The subtext is actually quite dense if one pays attention to it. I found the subtle blend between Nordic cosmogonic folklore with postmodern technophilic esoterism in a nihilistic post-Abrahamic setting to be quite intriguing, if not mesmerizing. Miller created a whole macrocosm with its own mythology, belief system, customs and practices and in doing so added a new conceptual layer to this series creating a rich and fascinating universe.

Besides, i loved the feminism dimension to the movie and in that regard the line "Then, who destroyed the world?!" still resonates quite strongly.

One can agree of disagree with the subtext of the movie, but one can't pretend that there wasn't any.

"WITNESS ME!"


People who don't like their beliefs being laughed at shouldn't have such funny beliefs

You're poppycock and you know it.

The story is this: two hardened warriors become redeemed by taking the fight to an evil dictator.

max stopping being selfish and helping those women is not character development?
nuxx realizing the bullshit hes been fed all his life and changing sides to redeem himself is not character development?
furiosa growing some balls and realizing that she needs to fight for a better future and not run away from a bad one is not character development?

maybe if you didnt only consume christopher nolan films you'd notice development that isnt spoonfed to you.

and once again, when people like you bring up the tired old "there's no story" argument (which holds about as much water as the "you didnt understand it" argument with interstellar)

i always tell them this:
young boy and wise old wizard go to rescue a princess then destroy the castle shes been trapped in

THATS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE PLOT OF STAR WARS

one of the biggest classics of all time.

it's a shame that film culture nowadays is so spelled out that people forget that ultimately it's a visual medium and when someone tells a story by visuals rather than dialogue they lose their shit.

Overrated and terrible

forget art, this is business.

That is still right. Is a movie with no plot or characters to care about really a movie at all?
