#chompcrc here. This is the best movie I've seen in quite some time. George Miller is an absolute genius behind the camera. Everyone that he surrounds himself with are top notch. The writing is amazing. The acting is phenomenal. Chris Hemsworth is the best and most memorable villain since Heath Ledger's Joker. He deserves an Oscar for this one. I had no idea he could do this. The layers that unfold like a slowly rotting onion are a master class in filmmaking. There is so much being said about society, the human condition, and our willingness to pursue vengeance despite ourselves. The way the story unfolds is so fulfilling. I love that they spent time with Furiosa as a child instead of jumping right into her as a young adult. Seeing this makes her arc in Fury Road all the more tragic and satisfying at the same time. You must watch this in the theater. It deserves to be watched on the big screen. I cannot praise this film enough. I haven't seen anything this entertaining, exiting, epic, masterful, or downright amazing in so long that I can't even compare it to anything except for Fury Road. The difference is, that is the greatest action film of all time, and this is one of the greatest films of all time, while also being an action film. There's even a quick little cameo of Mad Max. Run to the theater and watch this.

Chompcrc again. This movie is everything right about independent cinema. It has good dialogue, better than average acting, a unique storyline, and likable characters. The problem that I have with it is the film's structure. It uses time jumps to fill the narrative, and the ending is not typical or fulfilling. I was entertained throughout, and I like the overall feel of it. I dig the drive-in theatre setting, and love the John McClane costume. The two female leads are gorgeous and good at what they do. I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The two male leads did what they should of done for the most part, and carried the film nicely. The Jehovah's Witnesses angle was an afterthought, and should have been fleshed out more, but overall, I say it's a win for horror comedy. The good: the chicks are great, you have no idea where the story is going, and the characters are likable. The bad: too much time is spent in the past, whereas more time should have been spent making the present more coherent. The unclean: too much bj and masturbation talk. Overall, I say good job though, and I really hope this gang gets together and makes something else real soon.

Chompcrc, back at it. The tone is goofy and nonsensical. The plot is typical 80's slasher fodder. It doesn't take itself seriously, and you shouldn't either. The confusion between the girls and guys about who the killer is was good, and so was the extended ending . I appreciate horror that subverts expectations. Speaking of, I see what they did with making the male characters the "eye candy", going so far as to include a half naked pillow fight, and cheesy slow motion shower sequence. The movie needed an epilogue, and felt every bit like a $200,000 tv horror movie of the week, but for what it was, I have certainly seen way worse. The good: the kills were decent, despite the digital effects, and the girls staying dressed was a bold and fresh choice. The bad: it felt a bit too "tv movie" for my taste, and needed funnier dialogue to make the funny stuff actually funny. The unclean: I didn't need that dude's butt, but maybe the chicks will dig it. It's a flawed reboot, sure, but watch it anyways. You watched the latest Chainsaw Massacre, and they were serious about that.
