Those are not a story or plot or in most cases, even characters. Those are THINGS.
Elements of a trite, bloated, uninteresting story and plot that we've all seen way too many times already.
Weird shit without a solid core for it to wrap around loses its novelty way too quick.
Look at Fury Road.
Weird shit aplenty, but there's an understanding as to what the stakes of the world are and the price people are willing to pay to see it through.
And the leads can act, make you empathize with their situation in some way, and entice you to see them through the end. Kunis is dull and Tatum can't act unless it's in the pursuit of making fun of himself.
I couldn't give a shiny toilet bowl about yet another CHOSEN ONE SECRETLY AMONG US who is THE KEY TO SAVING EVERYTHING EVER.
Especially when a murmuring space-vampire fuccboi is the villain.

Jupe-Ass and its failure should be used as evidence in putting the Wachowskis in director jail (or at least used to hamstring their asses into a smaller budget where they HAVE to concentrate on a story that is actually cogent).
I really would be interested in knowing how they keep getting these HUGE projects out that never make their money back. Are their accountants that good?

The worst thing about this is that I can't argue against any of your points (as they are all true), but for whatever reason everything just works for me.

Finished our watch of the 3 Mad Max flicks tonight before tomorrow. Thunderdome is awesome when in Barter Town. Thunderdome is not awesome when in the movie Hook. Bangarang does not work. Also, forgot how much saxophone is up on this soundtrack.
