Furiosa Review: The Badlands Are As Savage As Ever

What is this, a screen ratio FOR ANTS!?!?!

[@CamperVanClark]

Just saw it. Perfect prequel. It delivers. I love Fury Road. George Miller is a Master Mind!

Maybe Ray was in charge and fcuked it up lol

Motorcycle chariot was awesome.

Some of this movie was shot an hour away from me on the outskirts of a town called Hay. Hay is a vibrant little town, set in the middle of nowhere.

[@Theprinceofsweden]

A George miller directed Thor movie would kickass

[@05ginOski05]

Do not listen to CGI whiners, it is not polished but it's far from worst.. this movie is fking immaculate

[@joshhunt4146]

Yeah - I watched Fury Road again the other day and that film was jam packed full of CGI 😂 Furiosa was fantastic

[@lockekappa500]

Yeah, I think people are mistaking flashy camera work as CGI. People who think they have an eye for things who really don't.

[@dawnhogan3755]

Chris was actually chained onto the big rigs so he didn’t fall out , he was in the trucks and chariot for real, he didn’t fake it , I was there , they were loud and dangerous, we had to wear ear plugs and they were still loud

[@marvindavisjr4293]

I love these films every single one of them.

[@colveraki]

Yes, what is going on with the screen size...super small

[@vitterverse]

why does this look unzoomed?

[@luisavilez09]

The movie is a wild ride from beginning to end, an origin story of a young woman who struggles to find her place and seek revenge while fighting off everything to stay alive,brutal and beautiful

[@EnriqueStyle]

I really liked it a lot!!!! The set pieces are worth the admission alone. Chris did such a masterful job. I really kept forgetting that was Hemsworth. I don't want to compare it to Fury Road, a oscar winner and one of the best films ever created. However, Miller did an outstanding job with Furiousa

[@peterlenham3180]

Fury Road isnt even close to one of the best films created. Its average at best.

[@EnriqueStyle]

@@peterlenham3180 it often appears in many top movie lists. That's an accomplishment.

[@peterlenham3180]

@@EnriqueStyle No, an accomplishment is actually achieving a classic film that is excellent in every area of filmmaking. Just because it gets voted in by critics who wouldn't know what a good film is, does not make it an accomplishment. Nobody talks about Fury Road after nearly a decade, but people are STILL talking about Terminator 2, 33 years later. That is an accomplishment.

[@paulromney8368]

It's funny how MAD MAX Fury Road wasn't much about Max, and FURIOSA isn't as much about her as it is Dementus.

[@isaacmartinez6904]

I just saw this movie and it was great. Not the best like Fury Road but still good.

[@benm5970]

This movie kicked ass, leading up to it I was about 90% sure that it looked good, it looked like the action still had the amazing spectacle of Fury Road, the same crazy, high octane energy looked like it was still there, and Furiosa was an amazing character and I thought the idea of getting to see her origin was cool, the 1 thing I was hesitant about was Anya Taylor Joy in the leading role, this may be an unpopular opinion but I personally think she’s kinda overrated, she has been in stuff I’ve liked but at the same time I’ve just never understood why everyone thinks she’s so amazing, and I wasn’t all that sure that she could pull of the same badass performance that Charlize Theron gave, and so my anticipation for this movie was “Confident in most of it with just 1 red herring” But thankfully this movie totally delivers The best thing about it is once again the action, George Miller created 1 of the greatest action movies ever made with Fury Road, that movie had absolutely mind blowing stunts and that continues on here, every action scene looks like a true work of art and I was beyond impressed with it, I also loved the backstory of Furiosa, a couple of interesting things about it that the advertising doesn’t tell you is that for one Anya Taylor Joy doesn’t come into the movie until about halfway through, for a good chunk of the movie it’s actually with kid Furiosa who I thought did a terrific job, another is that her and Anya Taylor Joy don’t actually speak that much, a lot of their performances are pretty silent, which means that a lot of it is done with their facial expressions and I thought both of them knocked it out of the park, and even though I was worried that Anya Taylor Joy wouldn’t have the same intimidating presence that Charlize Theron did she totally does, when she speaks she puts a lot of power and aggression into her voice and she totally proved me wrong for doubting her Chris Hemsworth was great too, I was excited to see him from the get-go and he’s so enjoyable, he looks like he’s having an absolute ball playing this crazy villain, and what I thought was really scary about him is that he also has more of a calm, manipulative side to him too, for a lot of the movie he talks to Furiosa in a way that makes him sound like he’s grooming her, putting lies into her head and trying to make himself out to be nice and caring when he really doesn’t give a shit about her and just wants her for labor, he was diabolical while still having a bit of reservation in his personality, which made his crazy outburst all the more surprising, I also liked seeing Immortan Joe again, and even though it’s not the same actor as the one from Fury Road I thought this guy did a great job and was very intimidating, and it was cool how this movie was centered around a big rivalry between Chris Hemsworth’s people and Immortan Joe’s people, and so for a lot of the movie you’re not even really sure who to root for because you know they’re both bad, you just know that Furiosa is caught in the middle of all of this and she’s the one you really wanna see succeed My only real gripe with the movie is more of just a small one, which is that given how this is a prequel there’s an aspect of Furiosa that I was excited to see but the movie doesn’t really show it, it has the setup but then it just cuts to it having already happened, which was a bummer because it’s a big part of her character that I was really looking forward to seeing But in the end this movie was fantastic, I had some doubts about whether or not it could live up to the magnificence of Fury Road big it definitely did, Anya Taylor Joy was great in the leading role, the action was still just as spectacular as before and this movie truly did have the blood of Fury Road coursing through its veins in every way possible. 9/10

[@dawnhogan3755]

Totally agree , sadly some of the original actors from Fury Road have passed , I was in Fury Road . Chris was chained onto the big truck so he didn’t fly out, he did do the stunts himself not green screen, I was there , I’m in it , I saw him , we did dangerous stuff too the rigs were huge deadly and loud , we had to wear ear plugs and they were still loud , he rode the chariot too, he got right into it and I think he did a great job , was my favourite . George , well what can I say , let’s get the next one started .. epic

[@Onebadcajun]

Badass movie, here's to GM hopefully getting to finish this saga.

[@megamoviez]

Agreed

[@ancientevil8044]

It's Furi-osa not Furio-sa

[@edwardwilliams2438]

Yes..Helmsworth is not Thor in this movie. This is what Love and Thunder should have been fashioned after. This was inventive and visceral...lots of action and I enjoyed the unique inventiveness of Furiosa. Women can be very vengeful....when they choose to be. I will be viewing this several times...like the Dune film. Always something more to see on a second or third viewing.

[@SuperBlugh]

The only thing missing from this movie was a truly epic soundtrack to rival fury road. The lack of it decreased the intense and engrossing feel that fury road had. Nonetheless it's still a fan freaking tastic film

[@vikingchad44]

Great movie. It was the Rogue One of the Mad Max series. I love both movies and had issues with both movies. I don't mind prequels if they are done well, even if we know the eventual outcome. Did we actual we need either of them? Maybe not. But Loved them both and what they add to their respective worlds, new characters and set pieces. And Furiosa has stuck with me and is still in my head. The allegory is strong and it gives us a lot to think about. ATJ was good but Furiosa will always be Charlize Theron's character. I wish she could have been in the last act. Good review.

[@rbkluv29]

The vision of Jon speeding down the 405 in a chariot! 😂💯

[@johnalexharper]

How does someone who hasn’t seen Fury Road talk about movies for a living?

[@EmptyWendyBag]

I liked the movie a lot but no one is talking about this movie at all and I live in a big city and went to a very large top theater and there was 5 other people in the theater watching this movie. I hope it does well but from the info I’ve seen that might be a problem

[@srph25]

An almost perfect movie. The first 2 hours are flawless and I think even better than Fury Road: there's more story making it deeper and more personal. Sadly the final 20 minutes felt a little rushed and forced to remind us it's a prequel, which was unnecessary...

[@lockekappa500]

Cut 10 minutes off the first act and its actually a perfect film.

[@keithlamontdavis8047]

I loved it! If you're going for the action, it's great but there's a LOT less of it than in Fury Road and it's not quite as insane. The movie is much more dialog and story driven. It is a great movie set in the world of Fury Road. Highly recommended.

[@stephennootens916]

I thought it was amazing. It was well paced in my view. Miller is one of the best director when it comes action. You don't get the muddle mess many action movies this day. I do have to admit like many others that it isn"t great as the Fury Road but that movie is a perfect action flick so toping it would be impossible.

[@joshhunt4146]

Fury Road had a lot of the same cgi issues - there’s a hell of a lot of practicals but there a flipping shit ton of cgi too and you can tell when it’s cgi. So to me it’s a none issue - as long as I’m having a great time than that will be fine for me

[@scottharris1985]

I don’t think any modern movie can be compared to Cleopatra and Ben-Hur. I think that is bit of a stretch.

[@jonathanlemmon9597]

I don’t agree with the story being thin at all. I liked the story more than Fury Road honestly.

It was the same situation with Indy 5. Ray didn't even bother to at least watch Raiders of the Lost Ark. I also put more blame on Campea for failing to motivate his crew to take 2 hours out their week to watch a movie related to the sequel, prequel they are reviewing that week.

[@ZachFazio-v3y]

[@DrStephenStrangeLove]

Dude, really spoilers?

[@TheDoctor1701a]

Not a masterpiece like Fury Road but close. I think it was one of the best prequels I have seen.

[@peterlenham3180]

Fury Road a masterpiece? Er no. Terminator 2 is a masterpiece.

[@menghao737]

​@peterlenham3180 Er, yes. Fury Road most certainly is a masterpiece of filmmaking, one of the greatest films in the past few decades. There is zero fat on that film, it does an incredible job of visual storytelling, showing not telling, the cinematography is beautiful, and it's as fast paced a film can be, never letting up, without wearing you out. And we're hardly alone in this opinion. T2 is arguably a masterpiece of cinema, for different reasons, those are two very different movies, but as far as making an action epic if there is anyone who can give James Cameron a run for their money then it's not Ridley Scott, definitely not Michael Bay or Zack Snyder, it's George Miller!

[@sammymorales6838]

George Miller finally is old enough to run for president

[@Monkeyshine911]

It was way better than i thought it would be. I didn't think he could equal Fury Road but this movie was insane

[@denniszenanywhere]

I have only liked a few Hollywood movies in the past 20 years, as I've explored more independent foreign movies. I've avoided genre movies, too -- but George Miller is one of those rare writer-directors -- someone with a vision that redefines genres -- Babe is one that hasn't been replicated; The Mad Max movies are only Miller's. This one was indeed epic.

The CGI complaints are overblown. They're necessary when they're there, and yet MOST of the movies action is done practically.

[@lockekappa500]

@@bradspringer2372 The 2nd trailer was AWFUL. First was good, but yes, it has much worse CG than the final product. I dunno, I just watched Fury Road last night and there were just as many "bad CGI" scenes in it (probably because of its age) AKA scenes that kind of took me out of the moment. But maybe they were harder to spot in the theatres compared to staring at my 4k monitor.

[@masonteague4039]

[@joshhunt4146]

I genuinely can’t decide which one is better between this and fury road - I’m kind of thinking Furiosa is better because it made me care more for the characters. And the action is incredible

[@jujucinema4402]

i completely agree with you. Loved Fury Road but i love this one even more. The characters are more endearing. I also love the contrasted sequences in the film, between the moments of "calm" and the moments of fury. I thought the acting was top notch all across the board and none stole the show. I also love the chapters idea. This movie is almost like a dream, a nightmare... it's cut in a way to make things more haunting. It's also a film that flows very well from beginning to end and offereing many surprises. The ending is very astonishing.

[@MuchCow9000]

I would say Fury Road only because of how simplistic the story is and how it's masterfully delivered. It lacks depth and character development compared to Furiosa, but in terms of filmmaking, the delivery is better in fury

The lore is thicker and there is more dialogue than most mad max movies or all of them, the movie does look fake at times but i didnt notice huge moments or the best moments being killed by the effects, there is a 15 minute chase scene but the whole movie is full of exhilarating moments the action is sprinkled throughtout the movie very well, i will always like fury road a little more but c'mon that movie is goated
