This movie is a comedy apparently? I didn't find anything in it funny, but rather cringed hundreds of times. I wanted to leave the theatre during the first 30 mins. It only became somewhat ok after a while, only due to the gimmick the movie was going for. The animation in it is so poor that it's irritating and distracting. The acting is terrible and fourth wall breaking. I honestly would like my money back.

The movie is so thinly spread and drawn out that I was drifting off into thinking about other better movies set in the same setting, such as The Revenant, Hoodwinked, Jeremiah Johnson, etc.

There is a good movie in this somewhere, but the editing needs tightening up drastically, 30 mins shaved off, and the old man spitting at the bucket removed entirely.

Also there is no tension, arc or payoff. It's just random stuff all over the place, and the ending didn't feel satisfying, only "was that it?"

But with ice cream and popcorn to keep me occupied, the movie was bearable after the 30 mark, and it did have some creative shots in it.

Disappointed, as with the movie's positives, it could have been good.

Fury Road is the greatest action movie ever made, and matching it would be nigh on impossible. Furiosa isn't as good as Fury Road, but it's certainly way better than everything else out this year. I enjoyed it more than Dune 2.

Furiosa is the last good movie we will have for a long time, as the rest of 2024 looks to be awful.

I have seen Furiosa three times already, and will be seeing it a fourth time in IMAX this weekend. I haven't felt this enjoyment of a new movie since, well, Fury Road. I also very much want at least one more Mad Max movie out of George Miller, i.e. Wastelands, or another one with Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, or even Mel Gibson himself.

The world building, action, acting, and direction by George Miller in Furiosa is just sublime. I didn't feel bored for a second during each viewing, although I also didn't once feel the peak high that Fury Road gives me. Maybe that's largely to do with Fury Road's epic soundtrack, and that sadly Furiosa wasn't adorned with its own epic soundtrack.

It's definitely my favourite Chris Hemsworth movie, he absolutely kills it, and Anya Taylor Joy is phenomenal, as well as Praetoeian Jack's actor, and the young Furiosa actress.

It's not the high octane "inject this movie directly into my veins" powerhouse that is Fury Road, nor does it give me a similar feeling of catharsis, and yes it feels like it could have been better, especially given what George Miller showed us he's capable of with Fury Road, but after 3 viewings so far, I still don't feel bored of it.

I just now finished watching the entire series again, as I tend to do every few years. And as my years and experience pile on, I understand and appreciate the series with greater depth with each additional viewing.

The feeling the end of this episode gave me is of a throbbing phantom limb, like a hand that expects to have a full set of five digits, and longs for the ones missing, yet was never able to gain the complete five, and was left with just three.

Some may say they feel Season 3 was the weakest portion of the show as a whole, and maybe overall that may be true, because Season 3 does feel like Act 1 of a 3 act movie. Much in the way as the end of this episode shows Hearst leaving camp, with a cliff hanger and a lot of unfinished threads, you can imagine a similar dissatisfaction if Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings ended on Frodo & Sam leaving, with a similar cliff-hanger sense of anticipation for what is yet to come, and then finding out the trilogy had been cancelled.

The Deadwood movie that came out many years later by no means delivers any sense of fulfilment or satisfaction, and I would love it if the series were simply given a green light to deliver us another two seasons of 12 episodes per season, made in exactly the same way as the original.

Sadly these days, utter garbage media is perpetuated, while genuine gold continues to elude us entirely.
