I have enjoyed many action movies on multiple watches and this is one of them.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-46614393904453491112016-02-23T13:30:06.041-05:002016-02-23T13:30:06.041-05:004 out of 5 is a fair assessment.Yeah, I could go a...4 out of 5 is a fair assessment.Yeah, I could go along with a Best Stunt Production category.I would have liked Theron to also get a nom. <br /><br />Many went ga-ga over Fury Road and it's certainly a spectacular thrill ride. I loved it, however I am wary that there is little in the way of characterization or even plot, so I don't know if it will be as great (for me ) on rewatch, we shall see.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-54431901494413080642016-02-22T12:34:04.233-05:002016-02-22T12:34:04.233-05:00Thanks.

I do like what he did and I have nothing against him.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-62027150084696227972016-02-22T10:01:18.707-05:002016-02-22T10:01:18.707-05:00What a fun movie, this is.

In terms od on screen impact, I wpuld argue that Hoult's character is at least as important as Max and Hoult does a fabulous job with him.<br /><br />The Academy should have made a category for stunts decades ago. I don't see this movie changing it. Great review!Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-89410532655310491542016-02-21T20:02:52.715-05:002016-02-21T20:02:52.715-05:00I put Hoult above the wives, but still below the c...I put Hoult above the wives, but still below the cars in regards to the onscreen impact for me. I agree he did a good job with what he was given. He certainly got the most famous line from the movie - one I expect to hear in some fashion during the Oscars this year - "What a lovely day!"<br /><br />If you pick up the DVD make sure to watch the extras on all the vehicles, the stunt work, and the detail that went into all the found objects that made up this entire world (my favorite is the war rig's accellerator (sp?) being a foot measuring device from a shoe store.)Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-58901294726764616072016-02-21T19:45:41.301-05:002016-02-21T19:45:41.301-05:00I doubt the Academy will ever recognize stuntwork,...I doubt the Academy will ever recognize stuntwork, and I doubt that we'll ever get a category for voice work, either. Well, we can dream. <br /><br />While I agree that Theron, Hardy, and the vehicles are the three main stars, don't sell Nicholas Hoult short on this. Hoult has the difficult task of starting as a dislikable character and believably becoming a likable one--and he does it pretty well. <br /><br />So, yeah, I love this movie a lot. I wanted two hours of car chases and explosions and it's exactly what I got. SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.com
