    "We all like what we like and I begrudge nobody for having a good time. If you enjoyed this film, more power to you. But don’t confuse liking something with it being good. This is not a “masterpiece” as the paid reviewers are claiming, and it won’t be a game changer. It will be forgotten quickly. The movie is stupid. It’s a product of lazy writing and a video game mindset. It’s too violent and shockingly unsophisticated, even for a summer action flick. It’s also kind of offensive, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why so many people like it."

      Editing … I'd give it a 7.5 or an 8, I liked it quite a lot. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece and I can get liking it less than I do. No way does it deserve a 1 though and I don't see how it's offensive.

      Editing … Yea the best thing about this was Hank's comments at the end, Hank knows what's up. Not this "intellectual" - cannot see the ground from the high horse he sits upon - twat.

      Editing … Hank makes some good points but also appears to be an anti-semitic asshole. Academia is fine. Plenty of academic types can make smart commentary on movies. But if you don't want to look dumb, you'd best make it clear that you were actually paying attention during the movie and not angrily tweeting about how bored you were. Like how he claims Furiosa and the other women "have no expertise," despite how the movie makes it clear Furiosa and the Many Mothers have almost superhuman sharpshooting skills that dwarf Max's, among several other examples.

      Editing … Looks like Gries is getting his five hour conversation. I don't see what is great about this movie, it's better than average, but it's nothing special. I wouldn't be texting my mates telling them to watch it or anything.
