[@axxessdenied]

@wong2265 yeah, but then you see the comments people like Kathleen Kennedy make when new shows pop up (The Acolyte most recently) and it sours everything. The main thing keeping me away from seeing it in IMAX is the horrible CGI, though. Hope and Glory (max max fan film) scratched the mad max itch pretty good too so I am okay waiting on Furiosa to come out on digital.

[@8301TheJMan]

I dunno bout that, look at how ridiculously well "Dune Part 2" did both critically and commercially. Dune 2 is legit my new favorite film of all time and was masterpiece from beginning to end. Despite being nearly three hours long it raked in a massive box-office hall that dwarfed the success of the first installment. And though i def think this film isn't as brilliant as "Dune Part 2," that's not a slight or anything, it instead has to do with Dune 2 being just that effin good! "Furiosa" was an excellent movie in it's own right and I really wish it was getting the sort of box-office numbers that it deserves.

[@axxessdenied]

@8301TheJMan dune is a pretty popular sci-fi novel. Denis villeneuve is a popular director. It would have been crazy if it didn't do well. Mad Max is way more niche. Dune pt 2 was a great spectacle in IMAX but suffers from one of the biggest problems in filmmaking today - everyone thinks they can do better than the original author. I wouldn't call Dune Pt 2 a masterpiece as it fails to deliver any of the deeper themes from the novel and hyperfocuses on trying to convey that Paul isn't a hero. It was a fun movie to watch on the big screen. But, it was "Dune" not Dune.

[@briandain8432]

Just gotta remember Madmax's $350,000 in 1979 is now the equivalent of 1.6 Million today. You'd do good to make a live action advertisement for $1.6 million today.

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Well he had the whole thing written out before Fury Road.. One big epic. It wasn't an afterthought to make a Furiosa movie, it was there from the beginning.. He prob chose to do it the order he did because he knew he was getting older and it was going to take the most energy to do Fury Road lol

I disagree. For three movies Max is just wandering around hoping to get basic needs, and ends up helping people with specific goals. The entire ending of Fury Road is based on Max's plan. Ditto Road Warrior. Ditto Thunderdome. It's the same movie. Every movie had a bad ass woman in the plot. Warrior Woman, Savannah Nix( yes, I had to look it up), and Furiosa. Every movie ends with only a handful even knowing Max was involved. And...c'mon. Charlize Theron has EARNED her action movie cachet.

Given what Hollywood did to Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Indiana Jones, perhaps we should be thankful that they didn't give Mel Gibson's Max the same treatment.

[@sprinkle61]

Mel Gibson's getting old, like the rest of them, the only real solution, if they want to keep doing them, is to hand off the mantle to a new character. In a way, Fury Road was that, with stand in for Mel teaching Furiosa the harsh lessons of the wasteland. The problem, besides Furiosa being meh, is that this movie is something of a 'Han Solo, a Star Wars side story' movie. We really don't need to know how she got with Immortan Joe, or lost her arm, just like we didn't need to see Han meet Chewy, shoot first first, or win the Millennium Falcon, these details could only be lamer than our imagination, and they were.

[@alexman378]

Here’s something I really don’t understand within the film; so Joe specifically asked for Furiosa to be part of the deal with Dementus due to her being completely healthy and intact. Then Furiosa disappears, and presents herself as a boy for 10-15 years. Then her disguise is blown while she rides with Jack, and after that everyone is cool with her being there. So neither Joe, nor anyone else ever looked for her? None of them ever wondered where she went? They didn’t realize the same girl that tried to disguise herself as a boy was the girl they specifically asked for, that went missing?

[@kye_inthe_sky332]

The plot holes were the main thing I disliked about the movie. Furiosa was one of Joe's wives. She disappeared and there was no follow-up to that. The was the MAIN catalyst for all of Fury Road was the wives being stolen and Joe losing his mind. Furiosa disappeared, disguised herself so she didn't have to be imprisoned and impregnated, but suddenly decides to stop hiding that she's a girl, goes by the same name that everyone knew her as, and they're all chill with it??? Joe literally wanted her because she was a full-life and perfect. It didn't make any sense that she was allowed to keep living with the warboys.

[@dylan10011998]

They didn’t recognize her 15 years later, it’s not that hard to understand. She grew up and they didn’t recognize her. I mean shit, Dementus didn’t even recognize her at the end of the film until she was holding the teddy bear. An 8 year old looks very different than a 23 year old, duh

I personally like "Furiosa" and think it was a nice addition to the Mad Max universe. However, I think Warner Bros. made a mistake by not promoting the film more, especially given the long gap between "Fury Road" and "Furiosa." Unfortunately, this will likely kill the planned "Mad Max Wasteland" movie, which I was really looking forward to.

[@8301TheJMan]

Same! It really sucks but we're starting to get to the point where people are labelling seemingly anything and everything as being woke garbage. And the automatic assumption by many that this was going to be an example of that work garbage - due to it having a female lead in an action movie, and they carry that expectation into the movie and it taints their viewing experience negatively.

[@oscarchavezavellan2738]

​​@@dreasdwolfox3435I hate metaphors because they equate two things that are too different to actually make sense if you go to specifics. However, since you like metaphors I'll give one: You walk into an art gallery of a famous painter, you always say how you love that he gets to paint what he wants to paint and that that is what makes him so good, but this time the painter has decided to do something different and you don't like it. Instead of taking his work for what it is, you feel entitled to tell him what to do with what he does because you paid to enter the gallery. Of course, you don't have to like what he is doing now, but to understand that it is his creation and he decides what he wants to explore and you decide if you are interested or not. Getting out of the metaphor, I find sad that one of the few remaining directors in Hollywood that has control over a franchise he created is getting slandered because HE is CHOOSING to explore a character from HIS CREATION. And then I hear people complain that movies are bad because they don't give directors creative liberty and instead push agendas. Furiosa is a project miller wanted to make, you don't have to like it, but at least in my case I respect the passion that he shows over a franchise he has been working with for more than 3 decades.

[@jesustyronechrist2330]

It's not a bad movie. I DON'T CARE that there's no Mad Max. The universe is SO COOL and has so much potential, that shackling it to Mad Max is like shackling Star Wars to Luke Skywalker. The REAL issue with this movie is the pacing and how odd it is. Scenes feel either too long or too fast. Even action scenes drag. That whole "40 day desert war" is just like 15 second montage of slow-mo explosion?! WHAT?!!?! Why even have it then?! It's so weird, it feels rushed. And one could also argue it's lack of character understanding: I saw the movie, but I still don't know Furiosa. I don't know anything except she wants to go home. Like, I'm also super confused of her relationship of Preatorian Jack, if they're just really close friends or something more. It also kinda goes against her character to be swooned over like that, so I assume they were just platonic. As for the poor box office: The trailer looked like shit. It just did. Some of the CGI shots look dogshit. They just do. The green screen/volume looks so bad in some shots, I wouldn't be surprised people thought this was just some quick B-movie thrown together in 5 months.

Its kinda sad that it floped cause the movie was pretty good and Chris Hemsworth did an amazing job a Dementus

[@smoberley]

90% of people who've actually seen it, like it. It isn't a girlboss movie. Here's why: Mad Max hasn't been replaced. She has an arc. She doesn't always win. She makes mistakes. She doesn't punch out any 250 lb stuntmen. There are more powerful men in the movie than her, and they don't exist solely to be humiliated by her. There is no "women's justice" storyline in the film. Haters gonna hate, but if you like post apocalyptic automotive mayhem, it's your loss. The reason it isn't making money, and people aren't going, is because the economic model of charging people $150 to take their family to the theatre, or $20 at home on their 70 inch TV a couple days later is completely unsustainable.

My wife and I saw the movie on the 2nd weekend (two days ago) at a Saturday afternoon showing. The theater was a multiplex with at least five other movies playing. There was nobody there, at any of the movies. There were two other people in the theater watching Furiosa. My wife and I enjoyed it. When it was over, I asked the other couple what they thought. They were big Mad Max fans and they enjoyed it. When the last credits rolled I went to the restroom. The toilets were sparkling clean! Nobody had used them. When we walked out into the parking lot, there may have been 7 or 8 cars (this cinema is a stand alone location, not in a shopping mall). So I don't think the failure at the box office is so much a commentary on the quality of the movie as it is on the state of the economy. I was tempted to wait until Furiosa was released on a streaming format but felt that I really wanted to see it on the big screen. I don't regret that decision but hopefully, it will get many more views when people are able to watch it at home.

The Main character was very believable in her motivations and she wasnt some God fighter that would over power men, she got her shit stuffed in many times due to her mistakes.

[@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!

[@quasarulas3968]

[@Doc-q2f]

[@deepakkumar99933]

A cinematic masterpiece that has left me speechless! The time and patience one has to dedicate their life, in making a lifetime work, coupled with an unquenchable thirst to provide sheer awe and cinematic brilliance technically and emotionally, stands out at every single minute throughout the movie. Apocalyptic genres are quite easy to enact, since they require an astute understanding of how humans operate on baseline consciousness. George Miller did a fantastic job at delivering this exact sentiment. I am overall pleased with the aesthetic cinematic treatment compared to its predecessor for continuity and not overdoing with CG. Dramatic pacing and character introduction is given justice with sufficient screen time to develop their story arcs and finale plot. The wasteland is merciless and spares nobody. Flawless execution 10/10.

The soundtrack is my ONLY mediocre take away from the film. Everything else was perfection. I was just confused by the overall lack of music in some scenes. Like the music wasn’t even bad…it was literally non-existent. I get it for certain situations lack of music creates intensity but if you overuse that then it actually just lacks music all together. But by the 5th act I felt the score had cam around was in full swing. Maybe it was intended idk?? But it was definitely a noticeable question I had throughout the first half of the film.

[@sdrh2990]

I mean lets be honest even the most successful of the three Gibson Mad Max movies was Beyond Thunderdome, and that was ... the 19th most successful domestic movie of 1985, below stuff like Jagged Edge, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, and Brewster's Millions for box office. Mad Max: Fury Road was really honestly an outlier and was not even one of the top 20 biggest movies of 2015. A spin-off with an unknown in the lead released in this more challenging box office environment was always gonna be tough.

[@Red-0ne]

As an artist, it annoys me when people ask the question of "Why was this even made?" Simply put, people that create works of art, whether it be painting, drawing, film or photography etc, they sometimes just want to make a work of art that appeals to them alone.This probably doesn't make a lot of sense typed out, but if your an artist yourself you'd have a better time understanding what I mean. For the most part, art is made with the intention of resonating with others. But sometimes artists just want to make something only they'll enjoy. Which yes, does sound stupid considering the future of this franchise depends of the success of the movies but I think the point still stands. George Miller is in his 80's and who knows how many years he has left. I say we let the man enjoy his art. P.S. Hopefully my thoughts weren't lost in translation.

Fury Road was the last really great movie I saw, and honestly the only really great movie I could name that's come out this century. I remember when it was advertised, the commercials were nothing but car chases and explosions (as with most action films) but it was the first time I wanted to see a film on the strength of that. This film hasn't managed that, and, I just have no interest in seeing Furiosa's backstory that we were already kind of told anyway. The fact that it wasn't really that interesting is presumably why we didn't see it in Fury Road and it was sufficient for it to be said in the rare pieces of dialogue. I'd have really rather seen something like what she did after returning to the Citadel with the corpse of Immortan Joe.
