Just got back myself. Good, not great film. Over the top action with none of the pesky character development. It was a visual feast, but I won't dine there again.

I broke my normal rule and took the wife and saw it in 3d. It was glorious in its nonstop action. I have never wanted a beer to calm down after a film so much.

Just got back. Spectacular stunts, but I was bored to fucking tears after an hour. I really don't get the hype.

I hate cotton candy too. I need substance with my flavor. This was like watching a 2 hour trailer. After the spectacle wears off, there is just nothing there.

This was like all those movies known for great chase scenes, except with none of the bullshit non-chase scenes bogging it down. Different strokes, I suppose.

I think you perhaps got caught up in the spectacle and overlooked the substance. There's plenty there. Too much in too small a space really. I can see how it might be an issue for some.

Literally just got home from watching this five minutes ago. I have a theater across the street. This was a great movie. I loved every second of it.

This is an unbelievably good movie. I'll be watching it again soon, but in 3D.

This feels slightly akin to going to a Cirque du Soleil performance and complaining that there wasn't enough plot.

This feels slightly akin to going to a Cirque du Soleil performance and complaining that there wasn't enough plot. It was an opera on the big screen. And it was glorious. I'd love to hear how people view it after four or five viewings. I'd really suggest anyone who wants to see it to see it on the biggest screen they can, the 3d wasn't too in your face. But usually the two go hand and hand. Tomorrowland will be taking this off the big screens I'm pretty sure.

I'll probably see it a second time sometime this week. First time was in 2D in a Dbox seat, but I'd like to watch it in 3D also (I've checked out bits and pieces of it in 3D when I've had time and it looked good).

It was a Cirque du Soleil performance - the guys on the end of the poles. Also, the 70 year old grandmothers did their own stunts. There's a lot of detail in the back end of things. I've raised my opinion to a 7-8/10.

Where the actual shit did you find out the grannies did their own stunts?? Did you actually google that? And yah, the grannies were amazing. They almost seemed the older versions of the models, really. "Headshots... every last one of em - heh heh"

Main granny was "Granny" from Farscape, Noranti. Played by Melissa Jaffer. Was amusing to see her again since she's been out of circulation for a while.

So Pitch Perfect 2 made $70 million last weekend compared to Mad Max's $44.4. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/I guess the lessen is never release a reboot of an older action movie on the same weekend as the sequel for a popular, more recent chick flick.

1) Not a reboot 2) Can we stop using chick flick already?

Again, the international release makes this a very profitable film. Don't just look at domestic numbers.

Pitch Perfect 2's opening weekend audience was 75% female. Conversely Mad Max's audience was 70% male. Hence my earlier comment about the audience overlap between the two movies being small.

Well it is also rated R. If they wanted the biggest possible first week totals it would not have been an R rated movie. I think word of mouth is going to give mad max some really good legs as well.

Can't wait to go see this again, it was just my kind of stupid.
I only really enjoyed the second Mad Max film and this one is even better.

Saw it again today in IMAX. Fuck yeah.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something.

I absolutely adored this movie. I had the goofiest grin on my face the whole time and even got choked up during the emotional parts. I will definitely see this one again before it leaves the theater.

I loved this movie - like Ozzu, I felt like I had a grin plastered to my face throughout most of the movie. I'll totally see this movie again in the theaters.
