फ्यूरीओसा: अ मैड मैक्स सागा

Pretty good movie. Enough action and with enough speed for the most part. Fun to see the three major settlements back from the 2015 mad max saga.

In the begin I did worry a little bit about the green screen effect what I did notice but that feeling faded away over time.

There is however one big negative and that was the last 20/30minutes. Slow paced, little bit boring and dragged on.. I was kinda waiting for the movie to just end. Its a shame because it makes you leave the theaters with a bad taste for a pretty good movie.

Actors were decent, script decent, action decent, green screen decent (but could been better), story line decent (except ending).

All by all 7out of 10.

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.

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.

For crying out loud, what do you want?

From criticism of Mad Max Fury Road for having too little story to its sequel for having too much. Make up your mind!

Each of the Mad Max films is different and an evolution from the last. Mad Max was the raw punk album. The Road Warrior was the more commercial, difficult to pull off second album. Thunderdome was the more accessible but toned-down third album that forces the band into a hiatus. Fury Road is the lauded reunion album with the new lead singer. Furiosa is the experimental album and the accumulation of everything so far into an epic opera.

Both actresses playing Furiosa are perfectly cast, the younger particularly. The surrounding characters are as grotesque and over-the-top as you would expect from this series. The acting likewise. These films are never subtle and that is part of their appeal. The design is as magnificent as the world-building, and its look is (for the most part) superb. I adore the colour palette. The music may not be quite as memorable as Fury Road, but certainly was not a distraction.

Now, the action may not have the same kinetic energy or frenetic insanity as Fury Road, but the nature of the story does not lend itself to this. The story spans many years and is episodic by design. It is an origin story rather than a road movie. Perhaps the more obvious and extensive use of CGI distracts slightly from the physicality of the action sequences but they are no less epic.

Suffice to say, I loved it. I appreciated the differences between Furiosa and Fury Road as much as its evolution within the same universe. I will take any offer of further time in Max and Furiosa's apocalypse on the condition that Miller either directs or has a hand in its development.

And yes, Furiosa IS a Mad Max movie and, contrary to some reviews here, Max does appear in the film, albeit fleetingly.

Furiosa is not Fury Road and is all the better for it. They are both remarkable works of movie art in their own right in my opinion.

More please.

You want it or not, a comparation with the old movie is automatic. The first thing that comes to mind is that it kinda drags the story. It lacks the flow of the previous. The main villan is unconvincing and I found myself many times not understanging how to categorise him. Is evil without a clear motive, powerful without convincing greatness. You don't know if you want to love him or not.

The actions scenes are ok, but no moment where I would thing it's something epic worthy. At times almost too much of the same.

Maybe the main problem was the script, neglected in the face of the many action scenes paired with fancy camera movement. The plot was ok, but it lacked a smarter way of putting it on the screen.

I feel many go into Furiosa expecting a Mad max movie, and at its core it is so much different. With its predecessor being Fury road, Furiosa had a very high bar to achieve. However, these 2 movies are so different, while they may seem similar they are completely different action movies. Furiosa takes on a much more different aesthetic with the use of slightly more darker and less vibrant colors, a much different protagonist, and a more complex story. The use of cgi is pretty disappointing, if you have a keen eye you can pretty easily the digital doubles and green screen. Anya Taylor-Joy gives an absolutely amazing performance. Dare I say she is better than Charlize Theron in Fury Road? Absolutely! Chris Hemsworth was also great and hilarious. Furiosa, while it may have many flaws, is one of the best action movies to come out in recent times, and I hope it gets the recognition it deserves. Furiosa is in no ways perfect, but do I love it? Yes.
