Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - Comments & Tips

Anya is no Charlize, and "Furiosa" is no "Fury Road". Bizarre pacing, with plot holes so big I hesitate to even call them that—it's more like massive chunks of the story are just missing. This should've been a miniseries.

Fury Road was a bonafide major EPIC. Furiosa is simply a series of numbered title card flashback sequences. They're all fine to build some background story, but none of us watched Fury Road to get emotional. We filled the gaps ourselves and read the subtleties. This just spoon feeds them to you and lets you know you got everything pretty much right.

You can endure and ignore the idiotic script only when there is something to distract you from it, to take away your attention, like music, action scenes, etc. In this movie - nothing will distract you enough. Remember the scene from Fury Road with the guitar guy? There are scenes like this in Furiosa but WITHOUT MUSIC.

The movie is bad. It did nothing. its bad not cause women. its bad cause of bad cgi, crap plot, zero care of following the rules of world building, phoned in work of junkie xl, sub par color grading, over the top thor hemsworth acting,

A woke manifesto of idiocy. You have to be a single cell organism to like that excrement. Rate 0/10 obviously

This film almost makes me wish Australia was real

This movie is long and feels long. While it does so much world building for Fury Road, it feels so long. There's so many moments where I was just bored. Only near the end did this have same style of action as Fury Road. But Anya Taylor-Joy was great as Furiosa no lie. As per usual, her expressions and eyes do so much. Chris Hemsworth also carries in his role. Heck he's always good but weve been deprived due to his Thor performances. Cinematography and the slightly sped up style is great as expected. Uh, wanted to like it more but it was kinda boring.

Very entertaining and makes me instantly wanna rewatch Mad Max: Fury Road

I expected more and better, the cgi was bad and not as good as previous ones

It was cool to see the back story but the film wasn't the best, a cheesey wasteland at times, especially chris hemsworths character, he just didn't suit the role, doesn't beat the last film or the Mel Gibson's classics and second half was better than the first half but at times the action was enjoyble and kept me entertained and anya taylor did well in her role also didn't like the CGI, I hope he does better for the next upcoming film.

Mediocre, George Miller. I had hopes for more action and crazy stunts. Less CGI and a more solid story. Instead I got bored, there was 10x more dialog and emotions. The story on how Furiosa escaped was full of holes (a cult desperate for young healthy woman completely looking past her for years on end??). Dementus was a glorified comedian and someone you could not take seriously. They couldn't even use the same voice effects for Immortan Joe as the 1st movie so he sounded like a small boy. The 30 day war was a 10 second nothing. It's a good movie but no way contends with the action scenes and stunts from Fury Road. It missed that action movie, edge of your seat vibe. I witnessed it and It did not ride through the gates of Valhalla shiny and chrome.

where was the electric guitar in this "soundtrack"?

One of the best action movies. This movie fks.

Endlessly entertaining, with great action, a fantastic score, impressive set-pieces, and what is probably Chris Hemsworth's best performance yet. Yet, I don't think it even comes close to Fury Road.

they had to do another one eh.. hopefully it'll be decent

Don't beat me but I think I loved this one even more than Fury Road. Yes it didn't revolutionised what was done before but it goes way further in the lore of the Mad Max saga and and that's what truly captivated me! Once again, it's visually stunning, with action unfolding nearly every minute. Although I'm usually not a fan of movies with chapters, here it's executed superbly, which I believe greatly contributes to maintaining the movie's pace. Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth have both delivered outstanding performances as well.

Near perfect. All of the actors have done a fantastic job. Even though the story is relatively straightforward, the narration and pacing are stellar. We all know what Furiosa goes on to do, so she obviously survives, but they made her go through it without macguffins and plenty of surprises. An incredible feat. Chris Hemsworth does a great job to make us forget Thor, despite similar costuming and characterization (They do reference Thor at one point, of course, when an outsider encountering his party exclaims “Am I in Valhalla?”). The one gripe is the very obvious Oscar bait, especially in the last act - Beyond Vengeance. The dialogue is still stellar, so it isn’t too painful to sit through, and likely wraps just about when people would start to get uncomfortable. But, nonetheless, obvious bait is obvious. Overall, easy 8.5/10.

It was OK. Fury Road is one of my favorite action movies of all time, and Furiosa seemed like more of the same - for better or worse. It's visually stunning but doesn't capture the same sense of wonder and grit as the former. The story is about as barebones as they come but the two leads do a great job of making it compelling. The action set pieces reuse a bit of the ideas from Fury Road but keep the adrenaline pumping nonetheless. Overall, I'm glad they made it, but it's unfortunately forgettable and more comparable to the average action movie these days

I am going into this without having watched any Mad Max movie previously. So I have no idea the fate of anyone or what Furiosa's character was like. Which to me is perfect for a prequel. Sometimes watching a prequel when you already know the fate of some characters, especially main characters, can diminish from the story as your like they'll be alright. I will update this with my thoughts after I see it Saturday.
