FURIOSA: A MAD MAX SAGA MOVIE (2024) REACTION | First Time Watching | Review

[@JS-ct3kr]

Hemsworth's monologue at the end is amazing. Dude needs to play unhinged characters more often.

[@lockekappa500]

Honestly one of my fav monologues in a movie ever now. Such a beautiful representation of the type of human that would end up on top in a world like this. I get some Silco vibes from arcane from him

[@AREA-jp8vb]

I swear those Australians can deliver a monologue, Hemsworth monologue is reminiscent of Heath ledgers in the dark Knight. It’s just perfection

[@celescoles]

I fell absolutely in love with this movie. It was like reading an epic novel. I love love love everything about it and I fell even harder with Furiosa's character. I truly hope we can get the other planned movie too. The cinema world needs it.

[@adamgrunther1367]

Hot take: this is my favorite movie in the Mad Max franchise. Anya Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth both deserve Oscar nominations for this movie.

[@fearnloathingingeneral]

THANK YOU! I feel the same way!

[@NoiseFetish]

Not-so-hot-take: I can't effing decide whether I like Furiosa, Fury Road or original Mad Max more. Yes, I'm one of those rare people who prefer Mad Max 1 over 2... so I guess that is a hot take to some. Anyway, great movie, great series, five awesome movies.

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Me too.

[@carlitosd.9699]

I would have to agree! Fury Road is a PERFECT Action Movie… this is a PERFECT Action-drama.

[@CzarsSalad]

it's not a hot take 👍👍

[@christopherkaylor2940]

The one that was protecting the produce in the truck, he was bullied in school and his mother made a video about it and George Miller saw it and decided to cast him in Furiosa

[@mocthezuma]

His name is Quaden Bayles. He was also in Three Thousand Years Of Longing(2022) which George Miller wrote, produced and directed.

[@SpackleMcCrackle]

It’s implied that Rictus isn’t new to abusing his dad’s “brides.” If she disappeared after Scrotus caught him staring at her during the strikeout birth and sneaking around in the middle of the night, they all probably assume he “disposed of her.” By the time she reappears years later as Jack’s independent contractor she’s a completely different creature. Also in the Fury Road prequel comic, Furiosa gets the job guarding the brides specifically from Rictus’ abuse attempts.

[@williamwong1982]

It’s also the reason why the wives ended up wearing chastity belts in Fury Road because Joe probably found out about Rictus’ deeds later on.

[@monsterking1973]

This is such a fantastic movie you could tell that Chris Hemsworth was having the time of his life in the role

[@williamwong1982]

This was a dream come true for him because he’s been a Mad Max fan since he was a kid. He gave it 110% working on this. Besides acting he was pretty hands on with crew work when he was onset.

[@carlitosd.9699]

The MadMax game that came out around the time of FuryRoad is an extension of these stories, and actually happens between Furiosa and Fury Road, and extends on the lore of this part of the wasteland, including how “maggot harvesting” works… it’s a criminally underrated game, I highly recommend it! It recreates the brutality and vastness of the wasteland that feels just like these two last movies!

[@goannaj3243]

So glad Chumbucket got a cameo

[@carlitosd.9699]

@@goannaj3243 right!?! I had no idea that was good ol' Chumbucket until I saw the credits!!! 😅 ... I also did't know the little girl Max keep "flashing to" during Fury Road is seemingly Hope's kid from the game, so the whole "failure" Max is referring to, on top of ALL the previous ones, starting with his Wife and Kid, is also a recent one, that happens between the game and Fury Road.

[@bombird8813]

Such an incredible theatrical experience, it’s my favorite movie of the year. While fury road has better pacing and action, I think this one has a better story and handles the world building better.

[@carlitosd.9699]

As much of a bummer as it was that this movie didn’t do well in the theaters, I think time will vindicate it… much like The Thing, Blade Runner, and even Road Warrior found their audience over time, and are now unquestionable Cinema classics.

[@GuamoKun]

That shot of the History Man appearing as a “ghost” in the beginning says so much

[@lplt]

32:32 the "nebula in the sky" is the milky way galaxy, you can only see it like that in very dark places, since there's no light pollution ...and they're in the dessert, it looks spectacular

[@lplt]

@Joe-gw9wh love it!

[@EliTheShaman]

We become a product of our environment. That's why astro navigation was such a big concept to her being so far from home, with no other landmarks but stars and cliffs, same goes for how we use to navigate the seas

[@umainebearman]

This movie makes me love Fury Road even more than I already did. The world building Miller did in this is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to know more about the bullet farm and Gastown. Learning that there was a green place and seeing Max up on the ledge like he does put a huge smile on my face in the theater. I hope George isnt done with this world.

[@aricaj.3006]

I saw this in theaters and was _completely_ blown away. Like with Dune, it was as much an experience as it was a film. Personally I feel like Miller intended for this and Fury Road to be taken as one cohesive unit as opposed to Furiosa being a prequel for a prequel's sake - so much of this story adds context to FR and fleshes out what was already there. Neither movie can exist without the other. They're different chapters of the same epic, just told out of order

[@rabooey]

Just when you think you've seen it all in Mad Max they give you a full-on aerial attack, and it's brilliantly creative whilst maintaining a realistic and thus believable practicality, and it's downright surreal the end with The Octoboss and his crazy tentacle ..thing. Beautiful madness.

[@MaxArch]

42:45 yup, thats MAX

[@kaliver517]

I thought it was really interesting that Chris Hemsworth said he loved the script but he had no idea who his character was until just before they began shooting. He was terrified he was going to ruin the film. Also, great movie. I hold Charlize Theron's portrayal of Furiosa in extremely high regard and was somewhat concerned with how they were going to pull this off in a way that didn't detract from the original. Turns out, it only bolsters her legend, and all the actresses who played her were tremendous. Losing her mom, her only friend and her star map to same scumbag is some heinously bad luck.

[@knoober3756]

I was blown away when watching this in the theater, definitely an experience I’ll remember for all time. This is imo Hemsworth’s best performance. He’s obviously having the time of his life but Dementus himself is a very calculating individual but has this charisma that definitely makes you think he’s an idiot, while also being a very weak man. Anya really won me over as well and I honestly like her more than Charlize’s version in fury road. Anya just brings this viceral energy that is just more intense than Theron’s version. This is also probably the best revenge story I’ve seen in a long time, the way they handle the cycle of violence and how vengeance blackens the soul is absolutely perfect. Also, hats off to miller to being in his 80’s and still creating these films with the same level of vigor as a young director. One of the best films of the year hands down.

[@Bulligity]

Such a bummer this movie didn't do better in the box office, it's so damn good. I love how different it is from Fury Road. The lore and world building are amazing.

[@SupraJulie]

I have a theory that Scrotus knew who Furiosa was while disguising herself as a boy. He know his brother was a perv, and didn't like when Rectus was looking her over too closely.

[@mocthezuma]

You could be right. He redirects Rictus' attention away from Furiosa several times. Maybe Scrotus even saw her escaping from Rictus during the night. Rictus is also eventually the reason why Furiosa is appointed by Immortan Joe to protect the wives. In the graphic novel, Immortan Joe appoints Furiosa to the task after Rictus tries to assault one of the wives. (And threatens to do it again.)

[@kblixt]

They wrote this before Fury Road. I like this movie just as much as Fury Road

[@h3n_z3r]

This movie was insane in 4DX ❤❤

[@DramaNinja0]

Seen it in 4DX also, always windy n seats shaking from the wastelands! Pure cinema!

[@TheDailySchwab]

All for reactions but wish this movie got more support in the theaters 😞

[@jamesmorales4735]

Then they shouldn't play around with switching actors

[@TheDailySchwab]

@@jamesmorales4735 she was a completely different age lmao it would’ve cost so much more to de-age Theron plus Anya is a great actress herself anyways, weird complaint

[@ridhosamudro2199]

@@jamesmorales4735 Fury Road literally just switched Gibson for Hardy lmao

[@アキコ2003]

​​@@jamesmorales4735boo hoo, isn't it crazy how anya was a better actress than her in this movie tho? ❤😂

[@jamesmorales4735]

@TheDailySchwab No she was lame they should've put Charlize Theron that's the principle of my comment. they shouldn't have changed actors. I don't care I don't care who they are.... Or what they do

[@spaced86out]

I think what they mean by " No ones going to scum us anymore " Is they're not going to be shortened on their food rations back at the horde.

[@CzarsSalad]

one of the best revenge movies ever made... and yes, I put this side by side with The Vengeance Trilogy

[@アキコ2003]

I prefered it over mad max fury road. Chris hemsworthh and anya performance were the best performances of the franchise

[@d.o.m.494]

At IMAX the film wasn't long enough.

[@SirRengeti]

There is a theory, that Furiosa escaped because the guy (I think it is Mr. Davidson) who should've strung her up helped her. He was clearly not happy about Dementus at that point. When Furiosa stole the Cranky Black from Scrotus, he was sitting there, holding Mr. Harleys body. So he was not killed by the warboys, giving more credibility, to that theory.

[@lagnok]

Wholeheartedly disagree with your checking the clock comment. dont know how anyone can get bored of action filmmaking and mythmaking this unique and well done. sounds like you were expecting it to be exactly like fury road in pacing.

[@Omn1Media]

Fury Road was a little TOO breakneck but I still enjoyed it a lot. I feel like there's a happy medium in there somewhere. The only one I don't really love is the first Mad Max.

[@lockekappa500]

Yeah I think he was just tired. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time in the theaters, because the world building was so good even when there was no action

[@TheEnnisfan]

Furiosa is a masterpiece. I actually like it better than Fury Road. The revenge aspect of it gives it a slight edge over Fury Road. Hemsworth has never been better. He brought his A game for his fellow Aussie: Dr. George Miller. I pray to the Cinema Gods that we get another MM flick, but that might not happen due to the massive bomb that it was. This one shoulda been experienced in the cinema, guys.

[@lockekappa500]

Funny because Fury Road had a much more prominent score compared to this. I found this one could have utilized its score more often

[@VikingLord0156]

17:02 There is a comic book explaining how Immortan Joe became the ruler of the citadel.

[@maurinho6030]

This movie is so gooooddd

[@shrewdtuna9523]

Some disagreements between MM fans whether Max's cameo scene rescues Furiosa and brought her closer to the Citadel. I say yes , due to the fact Furiosa fainted in the middle of nowhere and Max is also a scavenger of the Wasteland himself in this mad for survival world. ..... Fantastic allegories these Mad Max films with tbe Joseph Campbell influence and now the Greek mythology in Furiosa. . . Furiousa: A Mad Max Saga is fantastic build up to Fury Road.... Max's prequel titled " The Wasteland" the Hope and Glory story begins a year before the events of Fury Road. Furiosa reminded me a lot of the original MM 1, with the double vendetta victims and the personal chase scenes in the finally and with more plot expansion. Lots of tension in Furiosa 👍😎🎬

[@joeb918]

The thing I loved about this movie more than anything else, is that the character Chumbucket from the latest video game adaptation makes a cameo… it’s a decent game, though very repetitive and could have been so much more, but I loved that insane, unhinged V8 loving “black finger” mechanic.

[@DefactoOverlord]

Miller talked about how a movie like Fury Road will never happen again because it was soooooo perilous to film with practical effects. It's a miracle nobody died. Furiosa was a compromise and it turned out relatively well outside of a few scenes having dodgy greenscreen.

[@aspieanarchist5439]

"I wanna know what earned such devotion?" Several factors: 1. Before the fall of civilization, Immortan Joe was a decorated war veteran of the Oil and Water Wars named Colonel Joseph Moore. 2. The discovery of the aquifer. 3. The founding of the Bullet Farm, Gastown and the Cult of the V8. 4. Despite his madness, God complex, perversion and cruelty(Which all leaders of the Wasteland biker gangs shared), he was far more sober-minded than the others like Rictus, Dementus and Scrotus, two of whom were his sons and the other was his rival for control of The Citadel and being Furiosa`s archnemesis who never stood a chance. He also kept the Wretched(The poor, sick and elderly of The Wasteland) in check by rationing water which earned him favor with other biker gang leaders throughout the Wasteland outside his cult.

[@kblixt]

10 out of 10

[@bigspoon685]

This movie made me love the Mad Max universe again. Furiosa was the best part of fury road and definitely earned her own movie ❤ best in the franchise

[@Wash869]

React to the film: IN A VIOLENT NATURE (2024), new slasher horror which takes place entirely from the perspective of the Serial Killer, brutal and different, it's worth checking out.

[@jodymartin2920]

The girl with her face all screwed up is actually played by Chris’s wife. She plays two parts in the movie. She was in the beginning with the other woman on the horse

[@javix2013]

Regarding the sound, maybe it is because of the quality or compression of the digital copy, it is said that the sound of this copy is Dolby Atmos and compressed, but well, I do not think the Atmos is the great wonder of sound, for me better is the DTS-HD 7.1 sound or DolbyTrue HD 71. that this copy did not have, it had the Atmos compressed sound, it is not the master audio, we should wait for the Blu Ray and there if we will have the original master audio without compression and surely the sound mix will be heard excellent.

[@brianpatenaude2321]

I know you just watched it, and it is very long, but I highly recommend you give this one a second watch at some point. I saw it twice and imax and I watched it again on streaming last night, and it really, *really* holds up. It's such a well done story, I absolutely love this one.

[@Omn1Media]

I really want to do a double feature of this right into Fury Road if I have the time and energy.

[@RealBLAlley]

Wind Turbines. A windmill uses wind power to mill grain.

[@goannaj3243]

You know the Wilhelm scream, but every Mad Max movie has someone hiss.

[@nitrokid]

I love this movie as well, just like Fury Road. My input for the movie is that I wish the 40-day war was shown, not told. Not fully, just a bit. And I was expecting the final confrontation to be a high-octane road combat, Fury Road style. The final is a bit slow, narrative driven, but it's okay.

[@slayer45670]

So happy I saw this in imax!

[@Omn1Media]

I still need to see ANY film in IMAX. D:

[@jerseyhidalgo7421]

16:32 WITNESS ME!!!!

[@javix2013]

I agree in reference to the CGI, not that it was bad, but it wasn't perfect, I've seen movies with worse CGI anyway, and in this one it was pretty good, but not perfect, you can see that there are elements that don't look real because of an unnatural movement, very computer-like where it moves very fast and because of the lighting that doesn't fit much with the background, which makes the general composition of elements of the action scenes look a little weird. The current CGI needs to evolve as a technology to deceive us and make us believe that we are watching a real scene. That's why it's always better a combination of practical effects, miniatures and mixed with CGI, as it was done in the 90s with movies like Terminator 2, Jurassic Parka, Independence Day or Dante's Peak where the scenes looked real.

[@MrKevinFHaney]

Now that you mention it I'll just say that Joe didn't care ,,, he knows she's still in the club

[@npierce14]

I didn’t like the OG mad max movies got bored and bought fury road and LOVED IT. This one wasn’t as good but it’s not far behind Chris killed it as dementus I expect more from as a actor now Thor roles won’t cut it

[@joshuajoshua2732]

Really great film i didn't get why it didn't do well at the box office if any of it is true i thought it an was awesome movie the only downfall was no Mad Max but it still didn't take my enjoyment away and i hope "The Wasteland" does happen and get made as i feel Tom Hardy needs more time for the audience to settle with him as the new Max.

[@isaiah11726]

I quite enjoyed this movie! Sad that it may be the last one we get from George Miller due to the box office

Does Hemsworth have Brown eyes in this movie looks like he has brown contact lenses maybe

[@Adrian-ps7iu]

Hey

[@Demystificator]

I feel the slow rythm really hurts when you've watched Fury Road cause you already know about the Citadel and that Furiosa gonna join Joe. I've watched it with someone who didn't see Fury Road and they didn't felt any lengths. iirc there's thebackstory of Immortan Joe told in Comics released around Fury Road release. About sound, ti might come from your setup. I still remember the loud explosion of the gas tank behind Furiosa mother in theater. Same for the spears during the stowaway. But I like how the drums gets over the sound as it shows how Furiosa feels, she got hyper focused or hyper angry. I prefer to be in her head instead of being in the action around as the movie is about her and her story this time.

[@Omn1Media]

That could be part of it. Might feel completely different if I hadn't seen Fury Road. As for the sound, that's possible but I watched the rest with the same setup so maybe it's an issue with the digital version.

[@brianpatenaude2321]

​@@Omn1MediaI'm gonna piggyback off of this and say that I went into this one completely blind, having not seen Fury Road before, and the pacing didn't bother me, I felt absolutely engaged by all of it. Didn't even get up to use the bathroom at any point, which is rare for me in a movie this long. I honestly feel like it's the way to go, I feel like Fury Road functions better as a sequel to this movie than the other way around. Furiosa is acts 1 and 2 of the story, Fury Road is just act 3

[@artboymoy]

IMO, I feel ATJ was wasted in this. Furiosa really didn't get fleshed out more or we don't see how she manages to escape Joe's gaze as a wife. I mean, if he sees a semi viiable female he'll at least want to look. I wanted to see more of what she had to do in the Citidel and how maybe she's lost faith and maybe trauma overtakes her for a bit, but she pulls out of it. More time spent with her and the other Preator dude would have been great. Nux and the red head in Fury Road had more of a connection that we saw than these two. I think the younger girls did an incredible job as Furiosa and Hemsworth was excellent as Dementus.

[@soundofprice]

cartoon movie, nothing impressive just average

[@DramaNinja0]

Hemsworth needs more villain roles! Dementus is already an iconic villain I will be quoting for the rest of year!
