If you’re being that reductive then you’re describing like 10% of all movies.
Comment on 6 Reasons So Many Movies Are Struggling At The Box Office In 2024
acockworkorange@mander.xyz 4 weeks agoI absolutely love the Mad Max series, but I’ll be the first to say that yes, it’s derivative, except for the very first one.
All the others follow the same formula: Max Rockatansky wanders into a shitty situation while dealing with Bad Guys™️. Shitty situation escalates and ropes him in. He reluctantly helps and, with a ragtag team of anti-heroes, they save the day at a great cost. Max is left to wander the Outback once more.
It’s a great formula, I love it, but I won’t blame anyone for not wanting to watch more of the same.

In '85, they brought on Tina Turner just to cash in on previous releases. Kinda like casting JLo or Beyonce in another Mad Max and expecting it to do better.

She did a bang up job, though.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love Tina’s music.
