Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

8.7 - Truly feels like an extension or true part 1 to Fury Road. Furiosa is the right character to delve into, and Anya Taylor-Joy does the character justice. It provided a lot more of the world context I was looking for from Fury Road , & I honestly enjoyed the story much more. Pretty much everything else is on par. A great summer action blockbuster, meant for big & loud screens.

Visually this looked great, and has some really good action sequences.
I thoroughly enjoyed the beginning, and found myself wanting to know more about where Furiosa came from, her mother, and the community they were part of. I did feel like there was very little character development, which ultimately left the story lacking. I wanted to feel more for the dynamics in the film but was unable to due to the lack of character/story development. While I appreciate what they were trying to do with Hemsworth’s character, it seemed like they relied too much on humor which stripped the character of any real depth. Joy looked great, and I think played her part very well, however I wish we had more time with her because it felt like we didn’t get more “personality” from her until the very end. I think due to all the moving parts and characters, this would have translated a lot better as a limited series. This way we could have explored the world, characters, and story more deeply. Ultimately, not a horrible film but definitely could’ve given us more.

Visually awesome and action packed. Storyline definitely wasn’t as good as fury road but it’s a good prequel. Chris Hemsworth was a funny villain but towards the end felt like the movie was being dragged. It was good don’t get me wrong, but not the “movie of the summer” 7.0/10

Still just as rewatchable to me!! I’ve played the game a bunch, so I LOVE the connections between it and this film!

SHOUTOUT CHUMBUCKET THE 🐐

I enjoyed it! I think it was a bit too long. Could have been trimmed down a bit to help with the pacing, but it was pretty enjoyable. I think Taylor-Joy was great casting and REALLY matched that Theron voice throughout which was very impressive imo. Hemsworth was…something. Overall it’s visually spectacular and mostly thrilling.

Definitely a total Road Warrior vibe. Worked well by blending the previous Tom and Charlize movie into the mythos while entertaining and allowing us to learn the original of Furiosa. No regrets!
