Absolutely loved this review and loved this movie! I agree that Furiosa's story is done, but I think a cameo from her in the future would be cool as all get-out.
Agree with James - if there’s another sequel it needs to be about Max - it would be a coup if it was Tom. Given I had Fury Road fresh in my memory from seeing it a few weeks ago at BFI IMAX in 3D this film was better than I thought. I didn’t find it too long except at the end. I wondered whether if Charlize had been able to resume her role her rage would have been more tempered. It’s possible that with time she had mellowed and become world weary. Charlize brought a strength and a regal poise. I needn’t have worried about Anya’s reduced screen time and lack of lines…she was electrifying on screen. (I had wondered how Abbey Lee might have done in the role). Chris was amazing - must have been really liberating to play that role. I also thought Tom was well cast. Thanks for your review!
(James here) What a fun twist that would've been if Miller had got Charlize back just for that final scene. Abbey Lee is a good shout, but as she was already in Fury Road that might have been a confusing casting decision. Thanks for commenting!
Anya crushed it. She made it her own and there was far far more to her character than Charlize's Furiosa. George wrote it differently, of course, but i think Anya's performance was amazing. Hemsy barely pulled it off, and it will stand the test of time. Great film.
Regarding the opening montage. Fury Road aleo has the same opening montage. As far as I remember its exactly the same. It certainly has the black and white trees getting exploded and news anchors voices, though I can't be sure they are identical. I would need to see them back to back.
This was the best Mad Max since Road Warrior. I say that because it had a plot and some story. More depth and character development. Last comment. Sorry for spamming the comments. 😅
(James here) Spam away - love the interaction! I definitely appreciated the abundance of story and character development this time out. Fury Road was an epic spectacle, but Miller couldn't have got away with that approach every time.
I really enjoyed the movie. Personally, it seemed that it was hard to pick up the pace, but then it was simply incredible. 2.5 hours flew by very quickly. Dementus is incredible, Mad Max's world is incredible
There always has to be one of you doesn't there? Someone who contributes nothing of value to conversation besides empty buzzwords because "ahh a women's the lead role"
This is by far the best discussion of the movie I have seen. You really felt about the movie the way I do and explained your thoughts very eloquently.
(Steve here) Thanks for those kind words and thanks for taking the time to watch. Much appreciated! 🙏

Best review of this brilliant film. Thanks.
Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. All performances were solid. Action great. Just pure cinema bliss.
(Steve here) Agreed 👍

Watched furiosa on IMAX and then shot home and watched Fury Road. It works as well as any other pair of films. Sensationally well done.
(Steve here) Agreed the natural flow between the two. Another reviewer said, "Furiosa is the inhale, Fury Road is the exhale". Perfect illustration

This wasn’t a Mad Max movie
Mad Max without Max. Miss me with the woke Hollywood garbage
