No 2015 Oscar Contender Has Been Better Than Mad Max: Fury Road

As far as Mad Max goes, this version was OK. The Road Warrior was still a better film. Young people will look at this years version a lot different than the people who vote for the Oscars. Young people aren't straddled with the memories of all of the 1000's of films that older people have seen over a 40-60 year span. So, they can watch Fury Road and think that it was something special, when it was really no so much from an some older persons perspective.

Bottom line in MY opinion is that it was over hyped as to quality and will have ZERO chance to win an Oscar. It may get nominated because of the acting talent involved.

Speak for yourself.

I watched this movie with my dad, who was a Mad Max fan and watched the originals back then, and he too loved it and thought it was special. So it's not so much "young people know nothing" as much as it's you who didn't like the movie.

Wow, now i didn't like the movie?

Because I watched the originals back in the day (I also bought the recent Bluray versions), I went out of my way to see this version.  Clearly, the production values on Fury Road were a cut above all the previous films, along with most of the acting.  I was mildly dissapointed that the story was really just a rehash of Road Warrior.  If you take the movie by itself, it was probably a 7/8 out of 10.  Having been a fan of the originals and havingg watched them recently before seeing Fury Road, it ended up being mor like a 6.  Like I said in the comment that you responded to, this is MY opinion.
