It's good but it could've been better
Mad Max is one of my favourite film series and I was really looking forward to this prequel. I went into it viewing it as a standalone prequel film prepared to not compare it to any of the other films and I didn't. That said I felt that this was kind of disappointing for the origin story to what is regarded as one of the most popular action films in recent history (Fury Road). Don't get me wrong, there were many things that I enjoyed about this movie but without going into spoilers the events of this film go straight up into Fury Road and there are still gaps in Furiosa's story that are not explained in this film. Which leaves you to wonder is that it? Did they just not care to explain these points? Aside from that Anya Taylor Joy did give an excellent performance in this, I did however feel that she could've been given more to work with. This movie felt like it gave you everything and nothing at the same time with Furiosa's origin story. I would've loved to have seen more time focused solely on her and less time focused on the supporting characters.
