No one hates this movie. It was well reviewed by critics and by fans and by KZbin channels. Just because very few people went to see it in theaters does not equate to people hating the movie; it equates to people being indifferent to the movie and/or unwilling to pay the price for a movie ticket. I'm sure it will do great on streaming. That's when I will watch it.

I thought Furiosa was planned years ago, way before Fury Road was filmed. Miller wanted Sigourney Weaver to play Furiosa like a decade ago, but due to various issues, the film was delayed so much that they just went ahead and do Fury Road first.

[@soridosuneku]

Interesting. He omitted to say that in a recent interview if so (or forgot), because he said Furiosa started as a backstory for Fury Road so the actors had more to work with. Otherwise some of the behaviors the characters did would seem random

[@cshields99]

It's true. The Furiosa and Dementus showdown speech at the end of the was actually the scene they used to audition the cast for Fury Road 10+ years ago. Miller has always wanted to tell this story and The Take is flat out lying here.

[@Nugtroen]

yeah Miller wrote Furiosa back in 1996/97 but can't make it into a big screen due to world economic crisis and 9/11

It was actually empowering because she wasn’t a Mary Sue. She didn’t have unrealistic physical strength but she was scrappy and they clearly showed her learning the skills. I knew Hollywood still had it in them to make genuinely empowering female characters! She empowers me the way Mulan 1998 did! I was glad to learn her back story and how she became who she was in Fury Road!

[@samfilmkid]

I've actually heard people say they're not going to see it because it's not making a ton of money right now. Like...I thought we were over this crap, but apparently not, so I'll say it again: A movie's quality has NOTHING to do with it's opening weekend box office numbers! Zip, nada zilch!

[@ctk4949]

Definitely, fast and furious makes a ton of money. But they are so dumb and fake!! lol

[@hinkhall5291]

Most people I know won’t see it cause the Mad Max world is not compelling to them. They don’t care about the people in it in particular. To them the reason they liked Fury Road was more about the execution (loud cars, explosions, etc) than about the characters or their struggles. And without someone really cool like Charlize Theron leading it, there’s less reason to watch this. They don’t really care about this new chick. And as for Hemsworth, he’s hardly a draw when he’s not Thor.

Saw it yesterday, and I really enjoyed it - it works really well on a big screen, too, so if people are on the fence about maybe waiting for streaming, I'd definitely recommend going to see it in theatres.

[@lkeke35]

Okay, I guess I must run in some really different circles than other people online. I know it didn't make a lot of money at the box office but who is out here hatng on this perfectly acceptable film? So far Ive been seeing pretty good reviews and that it has a 90% on IMDB. I dont think its as good as Fury Road, but then nothing could match that movie, but this is a good solid film. It needs to be watched back to back with Fury road to get the full effect. I saw this one and went straight home to watch Fury Road and its a near seamless match, almost like one 5 hour film.

[@goated3285]

Low ticket sells doesn’t mean people don’t like the movie, the problem is we are paying all this money to several streaming services which is getting out of hand so I would rather wait to watch it on one of those platforms in my home were i built a theater room. I honestly can’t wait to watch it in the comfort of my home and not be overcharged for everything else. Hollywood is not accounting for that at all.

[@jamesmarshall6619]

For anyone on the fence, it was a fun movie and a good theater movie. It'll translate to streaming but it really is more fun as a theater movie. I won't judge anyone for not going as there was a six year gap where I didn't go to the movie theaters but if you're thinking about it, give it a go in the theater.

You know my friend and I wanted to know how she lost her arm. Its a weird argument to say people didn't want to know her back story.

[@lkeke35]

Yeah, in Fury Road, I did have questions about her backstory and whether or not she had been one of Immortan Joe's wives, or something.

[@majoranna9224]

I actually headcanoned that she was one-armed due to genetics and that's why Immortan didn't make her one of his wives. So it was a surprise to learn, that she actually _lost_ an arm.

[@1XparadoxX1]

Yeah like idk why they’re saying her backstory wasn’t important, like wtf, it’s literally the foundation of fury road and expands on the themes in fury road

[@steampunkerella]

i haven't seen any hate for the film. i personally didn't like it as much as fury road, but that's because fury road is a perfect film. it'd be insane if george miller pulled that off again. but this movie is great! my main complaints are i think it's a little long, and i think it leans in a bit too much on the lore, while also not exploring some things i thought would be. furiosa's relationship with the women of the harem, for example. that's like 20 seconds of the movie. but otherwise, great! lots of creative action, great set design, fun characters, good acting. good music. hell yeah

[@samfilmkid]

the last thing I would want this to be is just another Fury Road

[@chrissiem3958]

I think its a bit 'pot kettle black' to say that Furiosa is just a prequel to Fury Road, and therefore it is a cash grab, when Fury Road itself is based on IP.... I feel like the arguement completely deflates in that regard. Also, funnily enough, I thought Fury Road was moreso about Furiosa as we dont know a thing about Tom Hardy's character (I think he had something like 15 lines??), whereas the film Furiosa---- funnily enough---- was moreso about Chris Hemsworth's character, and in this film, its Furiosa who has the smallest bits of dialogue (Hemsworth was f*ckin spectacular, btw!)

[@SpectrumPOV]

At least Furiosa was able to be number one at the box office. Fury Road wasn't able to.

[@lefton4ya]

George Miller wrote Furiosa before filming Fury Road and was even thinking of making and releasing it first, but due to budget and time constraints did not, but he did let Charlize Theron read the script to understand her backstory when filming Fury Road. This is anything but a cash grab and is similar to the Star Wars Prequels that George Lucas wrote part of and wanted to release first before the original trilogy but also delayed due to budget and technological limitations. The cash grab angle is a “Bad Take” on George Miller and team, although I am sure WB greenlit budget hoping to make money.

[@joshbecka6110]

This movie was so fun. Anyone who hates it clearly hates life and fun.

[@pdzombie1906]

Revisionism much? First of all, Fury Road wasn't a smash hit, it failed at the box office, but it found its audience later on physical media after winning 6 oscars. Second, Furiosa was written even before Fury Road started filming. Third, despite knowing the fate of Furiosa, the film is so well made, it makes us feel like anything can happen. I loved the movie and now many claim it's another "Go woke, get broke" case when it's actually the victim of real woke predecesors pushing a bait and switch narrative with a strong woman as the lead. The righteous pay for the sins of the guilty. This is one of the many reasons Hollywood is in crisis: they teach the audience to mistrust certain projects, and now the public is not going to the cinemas even when the movie is good. They just wait for it to be on streaming, or dismissnit all together. R.I.P. Hollywood!!!

Mad Max: Fury Road had a production budget of $150 million before its P&A spend, according to box office tracker The Numbers.

[@HULK-HOGAN1]

Furiosa is exactly what I wanted; more of the 2015 Fury Road format. George Miller depicts such distinct cinematography in Australia with Mad Max. The epic nature of the franchise is worth exploring with detailed world-building. The various factions, locations like the blue-tinted, stilt trodden remnants of the ‘Green Place’, Bullet Town and the Citadel fortress with its greenhouse, encased in that yellowish orange color palette and its intricately designed mechanical ‘steampunk’ technology. Fury Road's an action movie at heart, while Furiosa sinks its teeth into the world with storytelling (albeit still having tons of action). The studios shouldn't have delayed this by a decade. Hopefully George Miller gets another crack at it!

[@UurdChuluutNegen]

Lol last time i warched Dune 2 i got AC fever cold. I don't wanna risk my health again. Cold AC in Australia is no joke. It's too cold unnecessarily.

[@bev9708]

I felt it totally augments Fury Road in every way, making it deeper and weightier, even more epic!!!

[@MikMortsllak]

7:52 Since Furiosa is looking for redemption in Fury Road, that's why I think her own movie needed to be an anti-hero story, and not just a revenge story. We don't get really get to see why she will be looking for redemption. I also think the soundtrack was not that good. A bit disappointed overall.

Watched it last night. The performances were phenomenal. Even if the dialog was scarce, the facial expressions and body language spoke volumes.

[@dawndreamweaver8373]

Possibly an unpopular opinion, but I was deeply disappointed with Furiosa’s casting. I wish they’d chosen someone more similar-looking (in face and stature) to the Furiosa that Theron portrayed. I’ll prolly give it a try when it comes to streaming, but I just can’t seem to get my brain to accept they’re meant to be the same character. 😂

[@MischievousMischief]

Just because it didn't make as much money doesn't mean the movie was bad. Sometimes a movie is just unlucky with the timing of its release. I really like this prequel because is really felt like a prologue to Furry Road!

Also loved that the main mean guy wasn’t cartoonishly mean. There was a reason for his madness! But mostly, I loved the relationship between Furiosa and Praetorian Jack. It felt real enough for me to really miss him when he died. The story was well-developed and the action was a blast! Overall: grade A!

just as she vanishes, her hair wig falls down on a branch in the cliff. that branch then grows fast in a timelapse to show that a LOT of time passes by. It is called a time ellipse.

I love women-led films but I have to admit, I had a lot of issues with the pacing and how long it took for Anya Taylor Joy to actually show up. But I was fully invested every time Dementus was onscreen. I also live in Australia, and I can tell you it was like seeing a real bogan, arrogant Australian guy if he gained enough power in the wasteland and was a sadistic sociopath. I'm glad I saw it in IMAX, because ultimately - the road war scenes were just as awesome as Fury Road. I hope more people see it in theatres before it's too late.

I´m sure the movie is good, but I cannot get over the re-cast of Charlize Theron. She made that character iconic, same as Harrison Ford made Indiana Jones or Johnny Depp made Jack Sparrow and should have been de-aged or another story should have been told in order to keep her.
