Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (yes that's the subtitle) | May 24, 2024 | Anya Taylor-Joy is Furiosa + Chris Hemsworth

[SpiderByte]

Movie was great, but theater was very much not full. Maybe a quarter at best.

[Scubasteve716]

Favorite movie of the year so far. Can’t really leg out so that it’s a success but hopefully it legs out and becomes less of a flop

[Mad Max007]

Felt even better the second time, didn't feel any pacing issues. Hemsworth kills it! Love Anya, but here Alyla Browne outshines her.

Not in the first chapter. And for most of ch.2 it's still Alyla

George Miller has always known how to build the Mad Max universe film after film, up to the monumental Fury Road. A summit of action cinema.

Becomes clear during the 2nd time how despite its much larger scope and complex story, the storytelling here is equally as economical and “Rube Goldberg machine”-esque as Fury Road. Miller’s ability to make even the littlest of gestures feel like they have a huge impact is amazing.

Dare I ask what the second weekend looks like for this

[Mad Max007]

Even better the third time, decent crowd at my theater.

I've seen people do that in all of my screenings. A lot of "holy sh*t" whispers too.

The movie is good but tried too hard to address the criticism to the last movie, i.e. little plot and dialogue. This round the movie felt unnecessary plot heavy and the dialogue sound too unnatural in an apocalyptic world settings. 

 

I know the movie had to address why Furiosa is one arm in FR, but damn, the way the movie depicts still hurt and thrill.

Miller wasn’t trying to address any “criticisms” lol. It’s just a different kind of movie from Fury Road.

[cinema pal]

And why on earth there should be any need to address anything when the first movie got stellar reception

Nah, it avoided pretty much "in your face" prequel tropes like Star Wars or any other franchise. It actually works well as a standalone too.

Yes. For me this. It's why my biggest gripes while small were shoe-horning nods to Fury Road in at the very end. Perfect ending was a certain comicslly ghastly image of a certain someone. But, again, that's a small gripe.

Got reminded again when rewatching Anyone but You but Charlee Fraser looks almost exactly like Gal Gadot but is 100x better performer and should’ve had the career she had

She’s 10 years younger than Gal Gadot, and has only been in two films thus far. She can still make a name for herself.
