Thought Fury Road was amazing.
Not to worry, LKJ just needs to watch it 3 more times and then he will see the light!

Look: I, too, think itās great if a person has gone through life desperately seeking an answer to the age-old question, āwhat if Limp Bizkit was a movie?ā
But I admit that my anti-Fury Road trolling has likely gotten stale, so Iāll try to find some new material. At least until the damn prequel comes out.

It was new to me, this thread is moving too fast to keep up with most of the time for me!
Iāve only seen it the once in the theatre but I do get your analogy. However, I would argue it is more like what if Rage Against the Machine was a movie in that itās the best possible version of that type of chaos and bravado.

Maybe part of the dynamic is that the high rating itself motivates criticism. This happens with restaurants, too, if I go to the new restaurant with great reviews then my expectations are sky high and I will evaluate it on that curve. Whereas if I just walked into the place with no expecations Iād just think itās amazing.

I didnāt love FR but thats because nothing can match up to watching The Road Warrior on my uncleās laserdisc player.

Decent little movie. It feels like Jessie Buckley too often gets material that sheās better than, so I was at least glad to see something that properly centered her and let her charisma jump off the screen. Itās a total lightweight, so I donāt think it will be the film that elevates her to a noticeably higher level (though Iām confident that day is coming), but it had its charms and was overall worth the watch. Olivia Colman was reliably solid as always.
3/5

Did you watch her in Fargo Season 4?

No, I didnāt get that far in Fargo, didnāt actually realize she was in a season.
She wasā¦something, very worth watching if you like her, even though that was the weakest season due to its repetitiveness.

I just dialed up a random scene from it on YouTube. I am intrigued.

Based on the trailer I was looking for a fun, filthy movie. Love Coleman and Buckley but I was sort of disappointed with your review. I mean 3/5 is still something I will watch but I was hoping for something more. I donāt post here a ton but I do look forward to your reviews, LKJ.

Yeahā¦I regret to report that itās a bit weaker than the trailer. It has a good trailer for sure. To be clear: with a modern movie, I definitely only give 3/5 if I think a movie is above average. (I admit 3/5 is sometimes code for āI didnāt really like it, but everyone says itās a classic and who the hell am I?ā with consensus classics from the past.)
Itās still worth your time IMO, just donāt expect the moon.
