Mad Max Fury Road (Gaming)

I don't mind a non-talky movie (La Jeté, or if you want something more people have actually seen, The Insider),


I'm confused. Le Jetee and The Insider are pretty talky. Good ones, though.


I'd consider them thinky, but not too talky. I dunno. Mad Max (the original) wasn't very talky and i loved that one.

La Jetee has a voice-over throughout, and I'd say most films where words are prominent tend to be thinky. I'm perplexed by your taste. I can understand George Miller's universe not being someone's cup of tea. But if you like the original movie, the latest one is a refinement of the first one's strengths. Like you say, the first one wasn't about words either, but it was about movement combined with visuals combined with sound--the new one uses these cinematic elements with a bravura and confidence that makes the first movie look amateurish by comparison.
