MrsToast: have you read the zodiac book? It's far better than the film
I didn't mind Zodiac but you're right with your synopsis and you're spot on with The Revenant.
Not read the book, will have to give it a go!

A life less ordinary is a great film
Happy to find out that the amount of people who think that is double what I thought it was (not counting Danny Boyle who I guess thinks it's at least OK).
Thought it had promise, but as with many many modern films it failed to sustain it's early pace and became a bit rambling. Was bored by the end.
The Reveneant suffered the same fate IMO, although I honestly think some of the camera work and scene setting was as good as I've ever seen. Stunning in the first half in particular.
I enjoyed the Revenant but it did come across as a film deliberately contrived to display Di Caprio's range of facial expressions (Joey Tribiani?).
I thought it was one of the worst films I have ever seen and watching films is pretty much what I do with every spare minute I have, when I am not working or riding. I love films.
I hated this film so much that I honestly started to feel sick and depressed watching it and turned it off. I have never experienced any thing like it, it was very strange.
And the Oscars it won, I was just dumbfounded.

It's difficult to argue against some of those Oscars even if you're a film geek. Production Design? Costume Design? What other films even came close last year?
The film won six Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Production Design, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing,
Well the first Mad Max and possibly the second rank up there as some of my all time Fav films.
I did enjoy Fury Road, but for me there wasn't enough Max. Hardy was pretty good but the film (for me) focussed too much on other stuff and not enough on Max being pissed off at the world.
fin25 is right - a lot of Mad Max was done with physical stunts, not CGI.
good set of vids...

Uhuh!
This whole thread would be resolved by everyone posting IMHO at the end of their comment. When you're discussing films and the like, it's ALWAYS just opinion. Just sometimes lots of people's opinions line up, as in Fury Road's case. 97% on Rotten Tomatoes is fairly impressive. I'm sure there's someone out there that love Coyote Ugly for example, but I've never met them...
I liked Coyote Ugly V8, but yes I don't think we've ever met 😆
OK IMHO...... I enjoyed all the max films and found this just about watchable. It was OK. As for the reviews, the type of person who rates films on rotten tomatoes is the type who would like this film. So I understand why it's got high ratings. As for the lack of CGI or not.... The issue is the film is so highly colorized it doesn't look real. That alone with the OTT scenes such as the hurricane scene, mean nothing to me looks real. Compare to the original films where due to no cgi existing, I believe the films settings more. I think I felt disappointment due to the great reviews it had
Think I've tried to watch them all over the years, and doubt I've got past half an hour of any of them. Utter bobbins.
