A satirical, witty, gruesome, oversexed and utterly over the top sci fi film. It's a cautionary tale of reckless militarism and succeeds in large part by embracing how absolutely over the top it all is. A classic with lessons that are still applicable toda...

A fun entry into a franchise that's been enjoyable for the duration of the ride. Don't expect anything grandiose but it's an excellent addition and engaging the whole way through.

As fun as it is absurd. Upsetting Jason Statham never seems to go well for anyone. Except for The Rock, but he’s not in this movie, so yeah — bad news all around.
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/furiosa-a-mad-max-saga-2024 · 29 Jun 2024
Sprawling, epic and — at times — deeply touching. George Miller leaves me wanting ever more entries in the Mad Max saga. It’s not quite as good as Fury Road , but it’s the more dynamic and deeply felt of the two. Anya Taylor-Joy renders Furiosa to ...

Monsters! Explosions! KONG! GODZILLA! It was fun and Mini Kong was pretty adorable. Solid cast and performances, some heartfelt cheese and an overt car product placement (can't recall the brand now though).

This is such a visually rich and spectacularly odd and gruesome film. Leading with a King Crimson tune was brave but works unexpectedly well. Outside of that track, Jóhann Jóhannsson provides a brilliant instrumental score that complements the narrative ...

If movies could be summed up by associating them with a color this one would be a dull gray. The whole thing is drab. The performances are flat, the plot is tiresome and as much as you'd hope that an otherwise talented cast could buoy this thing, it just s...

Dwayne Johnson! Pablo Schreiber! Predictable double crosses, explosions, stunts and adequately believable villains. Fun, not good. I didn't expect good, it delivered fun.
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/mad-max-beyond-thunderdome-1985 · 6 Jun 2024
This one far, far exceeded my expectations and caps off the early phase of a franchise that — improbably — got better as it went on. The world George Miller brings to life in this is what I'd been hoping to see in the first Mad Max film and saw partly ...
https://www.coryd.dev/watching/movies/mad-max-2-1981 · 2 Jun 2024
This is closer to what I expected out of the first Mad Max movie . It's decidedly post-apocalyptic in the way I expected the first entry in the franchise to be. It sees Max scavenging for supplies in an apocalyptic wasteland, reluctantly striking a deal wi...
