Fury Road was 2015 but just outside your 6-year window which proves your point.

The second and third movie was supposed to just be 1 movie, and it would have been good if they didn't try to make it into 2 movies.

2 got a lot of hate and deservedly so in parts, but his ass-kicking of the agents in the beginning, the fight with the Oracle's bodyguard, and the fight with the Merovingian's dudes as well as some of the car chases got me to see it twice in the theater. I left the second time during the stupid ass rave scene to renew my high in the car, worked out perfectly.

"Yay! I have tickets to the likely-lame Matrix reboot and the 6th Spiderman movie in too few years to care, but do you know what movie really sucks? The only action movie besides John Wick in the last decade to be worth a shit on nearly every level possible for a film."
It is completely obvious now what kind of braindead film goer pushes Captain Marvel into the billion dollar range.

the ones that wanted to see Endgame and were duped into thinking CM had anything to do with it? Disney Marvel pulled off a massive bait and switch on the public with that film. they also fudged their numbers in the box office to push that film as a success. if no endgame and no box office fuckery. that movie would have made 400-500 million, tops.
and Fury Road only had slow parts because if it was any more adrenline and badassery, people would have dropped dead faster than a pandemic shot.

We're going far afield here but I would have like Fury Road more if it had been a little more of a Mad Max movie and little less of a Furiosa movie. He felt sidelined in his own movie to me somewhat. It wasn't the end of the world and it was still pretty good but Miller was spinning the dial towards Fiegedom already. "Ya got to get the Sheila's into the flick, mate! It's where all the moneys at!!!"

Truth. I am not sure if it was WOMAN POWA or this schtick of Mad Max being the silent hero everyman you are supposed to project yourself on. I remember reading some shit about how Max was portrayed to be this mostly fictitious character that is the hero in all the legends of the wastelands so he was made a lesser character. Or something.
But you get a perfect actor to replace Gibson in the role and turn him into a side character in his own movie. Complete bullshit.
Still liked the movie, wasn't the best one, The Road Warrior will always be king, but Fury Road was okay.
Edit - To go back on point - The Matrix was a perfect movie for it's time, the other two were shit, and this new movie will be worse than 2 and 3 combined, mark it.

Not true. Captain Marvel wasn't good at all. Sure, I was like "Ohh, Blockbuster", but that's all I thought when watching that abortion of film.
And I don't know why. I haven't rewatched it, but I legit did not like fury road. I tried, and you guys said it was so amazing. But I was bored. And oddly, so was my dad. We did this weird father son night at the movie, and it was a time waste.
Actually, found my original post from the actual Fury Road thread.

if you just watched Fury Road for the Furiosa stuff, its really not great. its not bad, but its just ok. you put Immortan Joe and all the visuals in there, it reaches levels of badass not often seen in films. to be fair, Max didnt get much to do either. the original trilogy was all about Max and him dealing with his broken life. would the movie have been better if Mel Gibson starred and they continued that theme and have him find out his old nemesis from the first film had returned as an almost supernatural villain named Immortan Joe with all those visuals and this Furiosa chick play the part of exposition to catch everyone up? yes, that would have been worlds better. but what we got was still fucking sweet.

Well, he's right on one thing, The Road Warrior is the king, always will be.
