Did anyone here actually hate Ex Machina and Mad Max Fury Road?

I can't imagine anyone could hate those two movies.

Actually, someone could simply watch Ex Machina, Mad Max Fury Road, and It Follows and pretty much call it a day for the rest of the year.

Those three about cover all bases.

I loved Ex Machina.

I liked Mad Max. It was hurt by the excess of Charlize.

I was spoiled for Ex Machina so I knew what was going to happen and when and that took away. It was a well acted movie with suck a limited set. I liked the concept as well.

Mad Max was a great movie, and that's one of the ones you will watch every single time it comes on AMC or TNT in 20 years.

I haven't seen It Follows yet. I wanted to watch it the other night but Insidious 3 won the voting.
I'll watch It Follows soon.

I didn't hate Max; was just dissappointed.

Hard act to follow Mel and the originals.

There isn't a single movie ever made where you can't find somebody that doesn't like it.


There's always somebody.

Really liked Ex Machina and thought Mad Max was ok.

I really would have probably liked Mad Max more had I not heard how great it was. Turned out to be a really long chase scene. It looked tremendous, and for what it was it was spectacular...but there wasn't much story at all.

I'll rematch Ex Machina when it makes it' way to various platforms...I doubt I'll re-watch Mad Max.

Ex Machina is great.

Mad Max is great for what it is, but I don't really have any desire to ever watch it again. Epitome of fun summer cinema experience.

I'll watch It Follows again late one night. Maybe around Halloween.

I thought Ex Machina was "ehhh"

I mean, it wasn't the worst thing ever seen, but it's not this masterpiece like it's been propped up on this board.

It was way too vague for my liking. Just when you're getting emotionally involved in a scene, it jumps a whole day and completely kills it.

There are people who hate one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time - Man of Steel. I don't understand how other than those people being absolutely dead inside. So if people hate that movie, I am sure they will hate your movies listed. For the record, I have no desire to see any of the movies you mentioned and probably never will see them.

I love Mad Max. Probably my favorite movie this year. While I think Ex Machina was also a really good movie, I think it's not as good as a lot of you guys make it out to be.

I wasn't a huge fan of Mad Max. I liked it OK, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Ex Machina was amazing!
