One of my favorite points of comparison I've seen about Furiosa to Fury Road is that they are a double album. Fury Road is punchy and to the point while Furiosa is messier, more experimental, and more vulnerable because of that. Both sides enrich each other and stand out in their own way. These movies are miracles.

[@5DollarGaming]

That's why I'm excited to be able to watch them in a row at home eventually. Because with this movie now, Fury Road feels like the pay off, just one 2 hour long third act to Furiosa.

[@Jeremy-ho3vi]

'Miracles'? so for reasons unknown it's comparable to Jesus walking on water?

Hey, Maggie. Quick note. I've binged at least half of all your YT clips. What's really satisfying is your log off speech. You say the same thing, but despite the binges, it never gets old. You remind us we can subscribe if want, you invite us to leave comments or watch videos but leave no pressure or judgment if we don't. You plug in your website and your commission, but it's not tacky. You're quick and to the point and you leave time to shout out your patrons who choose to support you. I know you've refined it to be as quick and Blunt as it can be but as a fan I appreciate the phrasings you use because it's not pompous or entitled and it allows me to be eager to continue to enjoy your voice and your videos like a safe space. I hope that all makes sense, I usually get tired of people who just tack on words at the end, but when you do it , it feels inviting and earned. Thanks! Keep doing what you've been doing.

I love how positive, thoughtful and sweet the community we have been able to make here together is. Despite how most people here are kinda jaded and increiblly cynical about film, (which is an art we all actually love deeply) we never let that be directed at people undeserving. Like I know it seems a minor thing, but for some reason, comments like this (that are, no offence, not really related to the topic at hand) that show real openness, and as you said, the feeling of being in a safe space, warm my heart.

[@noahheninger]

@@kthx1138 No, I'd say the CGI ranges from passable to outright bad. Its saving grace is that there are still plenty of decent practical effects. Miller did a good job; it was the effects team that shat the bed in post-production.

@@noahheninger I will agree that the CGI is more intrusive than Fury road's. But this movie looked freaking amazing from beginning to end. If you can stand the opening scene of fury road where max is being towed behind the vehicle and he is clearly a cgi figure you can handle the worst of this movie. Go see it, it is killer.

[@carl_anderson9315]

A suggestion for those who have seen this yet: Don’t listen to haters calling this movie “woke” just because there’s a woman in it. It’s a badass film and a spectacle. The movie is bombing at the box office by people who label anything female related as woke. This is not a Disney or Netflix project. This is purely an author’s work. Support cinema. Cheers 🤟🏼

[@OriginalMasters]

Amen.

[@steveleeart]

Yeah it’s definitely not woke. Whatever that means 😂

Agree this movie and fury road aren’t woke at all. Just solid female characters done right.

[@jussi-pekkaturunen689]

[@Midwinter2]

I hate wokeness in all its ugly forms. The last thing Furiosa is, is woke. It's a really good movie. Not as great as Fury Road, but still quality.

[@sandonperkins5626]

As an Australian I appreciated how much more explicitly Aussie this was than Fury Road. Obviously being completely filmed in Australia helps, the vastness of Australia's outback is so much more tangible in here and Mad Max 2 than it is in Fury Road (for me at least). I still prefer Fury Road overall as that film feels like a miracle of action filmmaking but this gave me more of what I love about the Mad Max world despite not having Max in it. I liked that the slower pace allowed for more of those purely Australian interactions between characters and it's great that a blockbuster with this sort of tone and confidence in its own world can still be made on this scale. It's a shame it's not doing well at the boxoffice.

[@bassage13]

Fury Road was going to be filmed in Australia, but nature changed their plans.

[@sandonperkins5626]

​@@bassage13 Yeah of course, the pre-production stories on Fury Road are kinda crazy.

""environments aged into the wood""..... Maggie, ur a poet!

[@BR_5499]

One of my favorite characters from “Furiosa” is Tom Burke’s Praetorian Jack. Why is nobody talking about him? He was like just enough of a Mad Max presence to totally satisfy anyone complaining about Max not being in this film. I really enjoyed this movie. It’s not quite Fury Road, but still really good.

[@Palendrome]

I agree he is sort of this strange key to the movie that is extremely understated

[@jussi-pekkaturunen689]

Funny thing, I felt that the character was a bit of remote to really care about the character. I think the strength of that character is that it is actually glue or a passage for the story to build the perfect story arc for Furiosa. I guess it actually shows great writing in the big picture.

[@omegablackzero]

Praetorian Jack puts in perspective that Max wasn't the only road warrior who survived the apocalypse. Different person with different drive yet similar "warrior spirit" as Max. I liked his character, and adds why Furiosa connects with Max, since he probably reminded her of Jack.

[@CobblesteinSwobblepop]

I actually like the Jack character over Dementus, such strong acting from a brutal looking character. His death scene was epic too with the arm reveal as Dementus wrestles with his inner demons looking on...

Good points! Especially the similarity between Furiosa and Conan's journeys. My problem is, as with many current films, the filmmakers love (coddle?) the character too much. And the story suffers as a result. The character has no real arc. She's fabulous vengeance... and that's not a story. The more engaging version is she's broken by Joe, rises in the ranks, doing crime and treachery, earning the vaunted title of Imperator. THEN she can redeem herself, rising like a phoenix in defiance of Joe.There's a ten year gap, so maybe that's in the 2nd prequel.

His worldview reveal in the finale was profoundly sad.

Great review, I love how well you put words together, You're fun to listen to. You might be the best movie reviewer I've ever listened to.😊

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

Best movie of 2024 by far (so far at least). I experienced several moments of euphoria from the visual quality of the film combined with long sequences of action that were (pleasantly) devoid of dialogue. Hemsworth's monologue near the end of the movie sent major shivers down my spine as we're given a whole new level of insight into his character. I agree with the comparison to the recent Dune movies, which felt "very safe" compared to this which felt like the creators took major risks that more than paid off and the same can be said of Fury Road.

[@KaranKasturo]

Watch "perfect Days" it might change your opinion

[@Edowin-jz2sj]

Finally found my echo chamber who share my awe at the masterpiece which is Furiosa. I 100% Echo your sentiments about this review. This film was raw, savage, visually beautiful. The action was wild and creative. The characters vivid and memorable. Yes I think film surpasses Dune and it's everything I want from a big epic adventure movie. This Is what I wish star wars and rings of power and all of these heros journey type stories to be like. I wish we could a modern Conan movie like these modern mad max movies. The primitive energy imbued with classical Mythological storytelling. My favorite scene after the mother's daring raid to rescue her daughter, was the scene where the boss of gastown recreated one of my favorite paintings. It felt like this movie was made for someone with my sensibilities.

[@citpeks2000]

I would've seen it anyway, but I'm still glad you liked it. George Miller at his worst is better than most directors at their best.

[@babyirene3188]

I appreciate your enthusiasm for Furiosa. It is way too long . it's too reliant to CGI . And Chris Hemsworth came close to completely capsizing the movie. He is easily the weakest main character in any of the Mad Max movies . As one would expect he is completely too dimensional at best . And instantly kills the vibe of any scene that has the misfortune to feature him. But if his character enthralled you then my advice is to stay away from the road Warrior movie, far away the strongest entry in the franchise, and infinitely infinitely more intense than any of the other movies . There's nothing grimy about Furiosa . The road warrior is pure grime .

[@kanielabarcai6182]

Hard disagree, Chris hemsworth absolutely shines in this movie

[@nutherefurlong]

Really liked the contrast between the two big bad guys, the realms they'd built. She's caught between two ugly regimes and trying to survive. Makes sense, and the mythological aspects were really emphasized in this one. They even had a guy who vaguely resembled the gyrocaptain in command of aerial units :) Happy to have seen it in theaters, even though costs have gone up since I last went. I like the re-watchability of these things, especially with all the worldbuilding details they're putting in

It's interesting how you felt it is cartoonish bc I think if I remember right Geroge Miller initially wanted to make this movie as an anime, so it's very cool to me that maybe he thought of a spesific style initially bc of the medium he was going to work in and then to translate that to live action filmmaking

[@davidbruce486]

FURIOSA is a masterpiece, and FURIOSA combined with FURY ROAD is a masterpiece. The theme is the same as in all Mad Max movies: How do we respond when the world is falling to pieces around us? Some become warlords/dictators like Immortan Joe. Some become fake-populist warlords/dictaors like Dementus who promises water and food (without delivering on his promise) to people he wants to follow him. Some follow an ideal that they ought not to follow: the war boys, who believe that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's dictator. Both Mad Max (in the early movies and in FURY ROAD) and Furiosa respond by fighting against evil (FURIOSA) and by becoming heroes who help other people (FURIOSA and FURY ROAD). FURIOSA delves deep into how a falling-to-pieces world can hurt a child. She could easily become a bitter person without hope, but despite all that happens to her, she still has hope. (The peach pit is a symbol of that hope.) FURIOSA is the best of all the Mad Max movies because it gives us that background of Furiosa as a child.

It would be awesome if you could review “I Saw the TV Glow”. Just watched it in my local indie/classic theatre. 4/5

[@deskjessno]

Man.. your passion for this genre is fascinating

[@MagnumTriumph]

This movie gets my benefit of the doubt. Will see it regardless but still curious to hear if it's good

[@xboneyt485]

Feel the exact same way. Seeing it with some friends and a friends brother in law this weekend.

[@Ghosthound_X]

She is right about the Dune comparison I felt the same way. I loved Dune 2 it's a masterpiece but it's not as engaging or as immersive as Furiosa. Idk what it is exactly George Miller just knows how to make a super immersive world and movie.

[@acrophobe]

Anyone have any thoughts on the IMAX version of this movie? I have screenings close by this weekend. Is it worth it? I usually reserve my IMAX purchases for films shot natively in that format.

[@Jhonnycomelate]

Yes, this one is for the IMAX.

[@eatpowder]

Saw it last night, do not miss on imax!! So spectacular, wished it wouldn’t end

[@ethang.miller4861]

Everyone should see this in theaters, it was an amazing experience.

[@atticstattic]

Agreed!

[@ogvelociraptor205]

Going tomorrow to see it in IMAX which imo is the only way to get the full experience of a Movie like Mad Max:Fury Road

[@denniszenanywhere]

I’m impressed how people can take the loud sound on imax theaters as it’s too loud for me now. I watch in the regular theaters.

I rarely agree with Maggie, but I find her reviews still always intriguing.

[@montazownianr1]

Wow what a dress 😍 That video cuts edit between your words sometimes anoying me, but as usual you spoke all my words before I will speak them ;)

[@paulok2153]

I liked bits of it, but thought the action was a bit rubbish and the movie somewhat dragged out (small screen though).

[@Echoplex25]

Wow that fast. Gonna watch it on Saturday. btw you do ever plan on doing a review on I Saw The TV Glow? Like to know your thoughts on it

[@bumblefritz]

I thought Furiosa was great! Most of the negative comments I hear are followed by "..but I haven't seen it yet." Most are based on assumptions. This was totally a good companion to Fury Road... and Dementus was awesome!

[@hoibsh21]

Ya, I enjoyed Anya in The Menu, she was quite good. I wish they would let Mel GIbson make a special appearance in this rebooted franchise.

[@GreyGiger]

I think he's washed up and past his prime, if he ever had one ✌️

[@travis1143]

Like his South Park appearance? kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2LJgI18fbGWptE

[@BlackTestament]

well with being an unhinged racist antisemite it's best that he stays away from any new mad max and just leave him behind because guy is just.... The worst

[@purefoldnz3070]

@@GreyGiger you mean oscar winner Mel Gibson? With his top ten, highest-grossing movies cashing in a collective $3.5 billion?

[@starwarsroo2448]

​@purefoldnz3070 I know that was the stupidest cringest statement, dude has been as successful behind the camera as in front, good range too

[@Sejm656]

I found Chris hamsworth is very obnoxious in this film

[@neonpop80]

I cant believe how well received this movie is,=. I wasnt excited with the CG stuff in the trailer but I LOVE Fury Road. I cant wait to go watch this ASAP! Also TRAGIC this movie isnt doing well in the box office
