I thought it was good but didn't change my life or anything. (Gaming)

I was listening to the Adam Savage podcast one day while heading home from somewhere. They were doing a Mad Max spoilercast, and talked about it in such gushing terms for five minutes I paused the thing and immediately drove to the theater for the $4 before noon weekend showing. I saw it and thought it was good, not great.

Knowing Adam used to work at ILM, I figured they all loved it because of the special effects, or there was maybe stuff I missed. I went to listen to the rest of the podcast on the way home, hoping to hear more about the special effects, but all I heard was about how good it was because of the strong female character.

Socially, I'm as lefty liberal as they come...but if that's the thing that brought it from good to great for those guys, I may not want to listen to them anymore. Ideologically motivated opinions don't sit well with me.

Anyway, I thought it was good, but I don't think I have a desire to see it again.
