Развлечения
I’m absolutely heartbroken that this movie isn’t performing well at the box office. I just hope the franchise doesn’t die.
george miller is getting up there in age...
It’s done. They won’t green light another movie with this performance.
It won't. George will.
@@yurifairy2969 he really is, and I think I heard he already has his next project lined up
@@mindlander Valhalla awaits him.
I normally agree with Adam on everything, but big disagree on Fury Road's music choice being poor. The bombastic score matches with the film's heightened reality. Being quiet and atmospheric is nice and all, but the film is more about the feeling than anything
100%
Yup, to me this movie tries to evoke the feeling of something Epic (epic as in old mythology stories kind of epic and therefore somewhat unrealistic), the music really conveys that, I feel like if it had realistic sound mixing it wouldn't match the feelings that the movie is trying to portrait.
Absolutely agree. The music in sags was so lacklustre
Yeah I feel like the music in Fury Road really adds a lot to the sense of adrenaline during the action scenes and it emphasizes the story and feelings of the characters as well. Another comment above already talked about the scene with Nux in the storm, but I also really enjoy the Brothers In Arms track during the scene with the bikers attacking the rig. It sounds very heroic and hopeful, because it's the first time we see Max actually working together with Furiosa and the wives.
Yeah I doubt you agree with all his takes.
So sorry to hear about Scott, Adam. The Adum & Pals videos have always brought me a lot of joy. Take all the time you need after this! ❤
What's happening now?
@@StephNuggs Scott/Scoot passed away sadly at the age of 40
I've always thought the score drowning out the diegetic sound during the dust storm in Fury Road was a stylistic choice to convey how Nux finds a distorted beauty in chaos, destruction and imminent death. (On the count of being brainwashed from birth into being a suicidal pawn) that's why it does the same thing during his death scene. It may be a little hokey but it added to both scenes imo. And definitely made the dust storm more memorable than if they'd just gone with no music.
HOLY FUCK THANK YOU
My exact thoughts. Don’t know how Adum didn’t get that.
@@Donny_Golden his whole original review of fury road is full of things like this. i think he just has a very nitpicky way of watching movies sometimes which ironically leads to him missing a lot of the ways in which they can work thematically or visually. his criticism of the sound of the war rig in the dialogue scenes is even more asinine. a scene can evoke a certain mood or feeling without being literally accurate. that's what makes movies great.
And all Mad Max movies are essentially mythical retellings anyway. We see Max through the eyes of the people who met him long ago. These are the legends of the Wasteland; the exaggerated reality, the inconsistencies, that's just the narrator embellishing the story to excite the kids around the campfire.
To me the fact that sometimes the vehicles are quiet enough for characters to have quiet conversations is a concession to the performances, which is a fine trade off. It’s why comic book movies spend so much time taking the masks off our heroes (especially in dramatically important bits)
I feel like it's more George Miller just believing his movie functions as a silent action movie. he has sad his favorite way to watch the movie is with the sound affects off and only music.
1:55 I think the music is basically there as a theme for Nux. He's a religious zealot who seeks glorious death in battle so the entire chase is like one mythical, epic event for him, the score builds up the moment he's watching his fellow warriors being sucked into the sky. You hear the same music playing when Immortan gives him his gun and at the end where he sacrifices himself. Nux is on the forefront every time that particular music plays.
yeah it's pretty obvious that's what the scene is going for. Nux is awestruck by it, which directly informs his immediate decision that this is the moment he wants to kill himself. idk how Adum watches movies to be honest. maybe he was too busy trying to figure out how loud the engine should be in that scene.
I would not have noticed that without you bringing it up. For me it was creating the stakes of the Wasteland as a greater antagonist than Immortan Joe: a god of desolation spitting in the face of the Citadel. In that way, I can see why more sound or more music would have worked, and it just came down to George Miller's vision.
@@jAAbRONy1 i think what makes the movie great is that it can work both ways. but that scene was definitely meant to evoke a sense of beauty within the chaos, which for nux is a literally religious experience, which is matched by the score. there's a reason the car exploding almost looks like fireworks going off. it's noteworthy that even max seems caught up in the visual splendor of it in the scene. i think the score really nails it as a really emotionally cathartic moment in the movie, and without it the scene wouldn't have close to the same impact.
Same theme ties with his ending
@@beagle626 second time he complained about the engine niose lol.
You and Scott are so funny together, I'm so sorry and sad he has passed. :( RIP
Adum criticizing the music in Fury Road might be the worst take on this movie I have ever heard.
He was known in Edmonton as “InAccurate Adam”. He couldn’t cross a road without people jeering “your movie REVIEWS suck”, a clever way of turning ones own channel on itself. If it weren’t for heavy Manitoba botting, he wouldn’t have a channel.
There's no accounting for taste.
I mean yeah you can love it and that's great. He can take issue with some elements and that's fine too. He didn't say "people that like the soundtrack are wrong" or anything like that
This is the "Dune score is mid and the vocalization parts are annoying" guy.
@@SaskatoonSaulWhat are you EVEN on about?
The highlight for me was when Dementus goes ballistic, drives through a iron gate and chases down Furisoa in a monster truck despite the huge distance between them, followed by the adrenaline wearing off after awhile and Dementus becoming bored, regretful and self-reflective on what happened.
agree with all of this except for the regretful bit. that mf didn't regret a single thing he did in that chase, or the torture that followed
That monster truck was dope and the most magical part of the movie. Well besides the tree.
@@Broken_robot1986 Hemsworth was a great choice.
In fairness, the gap closing while chasing her in the monster truck was explained. He used the monster trucks capabilities to go up and over the mountain, rather than around it, which let him close the gap on her.
@@heymoolol I didn't say it was a plothole or anything, but I do find it interesting that Furisoa had such a massive head start and Dementus just went after them anyway our of sheer rage.
I’m sorry Adum. Between you and Scoot, I laughed an insane amount of times and I thank you both for it! We will all be missing him and his voice and his humour!
I’ve never heard about anyone complaining about the music. Especially in the storm scene. I think removing it would make the scene objectively worse. The whole point is that Nux thinks he is watching those guys ascend I to Valhalla. Without the music I think we would just end up with an over powering storm noise and not nearly as much awe inspiring emotion
A reminder that subjectivity is art appreciation 101
objectively worse...
Cannot disagree more on the music during the storm scene in Fury Road. It is a masterful scene and the music enhances the epicness. Dumbass ear to ear grin on my face for an hour straight.
Condolences for Scoot.
This Furiosa review plays out like the Spiderverse one where it sounds like a review he'd give for an 8-9/10 film, so when it's slapped with 6/10 you're kinda caught off-guard.
(I'm not saying he's wrong or didn't watch it correctly and all that nonsense, btw, just that I can understand why someone may feel a bit of whiplash at the final rating)
Its about personal taste. I saw fury road and thought it was mid at best. Comoletely forgetabble in terms of story and all visual. Style of substace 100%
@@SG-pw1zv “forgettable visuals” lol
Honestly I thought he was going to give it an 8 or something with how much he praised it, such an emotional whiplash.
I think what we forget is that 6/10 is still above average. Also he reviewed fury road similarly, where he said he had a lot of fun with it but he's judging it more on the quality than the experience
@@kylelarsen7467 It's true, but at the same time, Adam's given the impression (might have even stated outright) that 4-6 is synonymous with "forgettable"
Again, can't disagree or agree with the rating as I haven't seen it. It just sounded like a glowing review by Adam's standards so when he ended with merely a slightly-above-average rating it stood out to me
You and Scoot left such a huge mark on the platform, and all of the happy memories won’t long be forgotten. Wishing my best to the families and friends involved, thanks for everything you’ve shared with us over the years ❤️🩹

4:31 Honestly, my favorite shot in the entire movie was when Furiosa’s mom was driving through the sand, it was absolutely incredible.
Furiosa could've used Odie fist bumping a yak. Garfield had that
Odie fisted a yak?
Well. When you're right you're right 😅
1:33 It worked for me. It's one of the most incredible moments in the movie and it was largely thanks to the score.
That was such a strange comment. It wasn't an introspective scene. Everything was going wrong and the characters were in the mercy of nature. Why would the score be quiet?
@@kingsleycy3450 yeah I don't think loud noises would've been better than the score, not sure why he said that
@@kingsleycy3450 yeah, I feel like the score helped the scene to feel like something impossible was happening, if the score was quiet or replaced by accurate noises that scene would have feel different, and not in a way that would be consistent with the movie that has a guy with a flamethrower guitar 🤷♀
of course it works. the whole movie works for the most part. its just that action movies tend to not get high praise from pretentious critics such as this guy
@@kingsleycy3450 he said he cant hear the environment. good job turning it into the most disingenuous straw man that it should be silent ??
I left the theater after Furiosa knowing I had a good time but not really having ANY idea how much I like the movie. There was just SO MUCH to take in - I'll have to see it a second time before I can truly process it all and have an opinion, but I AM looking forward to a second viewing.
an overwhelming amount to chew on, but honestly I can only see myself liking it more with future watches.
Yeah me and my viewing partner talked a lot about it afterwards. Its kind of all over the place which inherently hurts its impact on me. I think its a sign of some sort of failure if you can't make sense of your thoughts on a piece of media even after thinking and talking about it for some hours. I feel like the parts I liked and the parts I didn't were not really related to one another. It was like multiple movies directed by different people. It felt like an anthology and I think it hurt the movie
I agree on this. I have seen it twice and after the second viewing I think it's my favorite in the franchise. I want to see it again.
i saw it for the second time in theaters today and loved it so much more. hemsworth manalogue was such a miss untill i was able to take in his hollow glory seeking motivations. film is so maximalist that its hard to not check out mentally sometimes, even if what your seeing is engaging.
Same! Then I noticed there were scenes and feelings that I couldn't stop thinking of/feeling, specifically the one where Dementus catches Furiosa and Pretorian. And I don't remember many movies doing that for me. So I'm gonna go with "I loved the movie"
THAAANK You Adum. FINALLY. Somebody talks about “The Last Stop in Yuma County”. That film was so good.
OK, you sold me, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell should make a Mad Max/Waterworld type of movie
yeah its called Army of Darkness
"Furiosa fixed every critique I had of Fury Road. 6/10."
he gave fury road a 7
wat
I agree that he was more passionate about Furiosa, but I think he just had more issues with Furiosa than Mad Max. Fury Road was fun almost nonstop, took itself too serious at times, and the sound and music wasn’t mixed the best. Furiosa had better characters and didn’t have the issues that Fury Road had, but 2/5 of the movie was overwhelming and boring, it was way too long, and just wasn’t as fun a Fury Road.
Furiosa tries a lot more than Fury Road, and although it does those things better than FR it does a lot more worse to a greater degree.
I guess he didn't point out vehemently enough that the editing of the movie was quite shit
5 is like average for him. So anything above average is 6 and 7, 8 and 9 he really fucking loves it, 10 he makes a film length video dissecting frame by frame: synecdoche new york.
@@ULTRAOutdoorsmanhow?
@@Onyxiate At the theater by act 4 i was like, counting the god damn minutes till it was over. Editors needed to actually edit the damn movie down, and it had really bad tonal issues imo, and I think it looks significantly worse than FR. The color grading was very saturated and rich, which coupled with the overuse of mid tier CGI, made the movie feel way more artificial than FR. It sold me on the world less. I don't think the schism between self serious villains like Joe and goofy older Mad Max type guys like Dementus is actually explored well at all. It just felt incongruent. In the first 2 acts, it feels like Dementus is a charismatic eccentric that could exist in a cult leader role. His oddities contrast deliberately with the grim subject matter. It stops being framed that way in the later parts imo.
Drinking game: take a drink every time Adum says “really” during the furious review 😂
Or "film."
Having Dementus basically screw with people for fun through most of the film, only to be screwed with at the end and start considering that it's not overly fun, was great.
I'm so glad I checked out Last Stop in Yuma County! A real diamond in the rough kind of indie movie.
Right! I only watched it cuz it had a striking header image on the movie piracy site i use and I had nothing else going on. Absolutely impressed me, and I'm excited for the directors future work. I think evoking the era of filmmaking that your movie is set in is so interesting, and made the movie super engaging shot to shot.

Thank you, Mad Adumax.
And thank you Black Mad Adumax.
People saying “we want Max back!” keep forgetting that the Mad Max movies never really focused on Max himself. As long as the movies are good, I don’t see the issue
Aside from the first, Max is more like a side character who wanders into the plot, helps, then fades back into the wastelands.
I have said the same thing. Barring the first film in which Max has a full character arc to earn the moniker "Mad", Max is more of a plot device than a proper character in every subsequent film of his throughout the years. He is the most important supporting character in his films as he drifts around the Wasteland helping people while haunted by the memories of the people he was unable to save. He shows up, helps a group of good Wastelanders from the local warlord, connects with the main Wastelander who needs his help (and who serves as the real protagonist of the film) defeats the big bad warlord and then leaves. Quite simple and it works.
I really liked Furiosa even though I didn't find it as good as Fury Road. It was definitely too long but Hemsworth, Anya and Alyla do indeed carry the film with their performances. However, I found the special effects to be quite a bit more disappointing than Fury Road's, with a lot more emphasis on CGI that while not necessarily bad looking, is VERY noticeable whereas it was hidden a lot better in Fury Road where the practical effects really shined. Other than that I'd rate it an 8/10.
Those are just incels who hate anything with a female lead. Been a fan of the series since I was teenager. Main appeal of the films are the car stunts and high energy
He's the original Jack Sparrow, a secondary character that pushes the story forward
Let's call everyone who doesn't like what I like an incel, and besides that pretend that Hollywood and big companies don't just royally fuck up female leads in general and act like that doesn't naturally leave a bad taste in someone's mouth.
lol, ofc you thought the worst part of Fury Road was the literal best part. 1:26
I’m curiosa about furiosa.
I loved it. I think it's better than Fury Road. It's not something I expect a lot of people to agree with me on, but I love the Mad Max world, and I really enjoyed how the new movie explored so much more of the world than any of the other movies. All the others are confined to a very limited amount of locations and settings, but this one is much more varied.
I also agree with YMS about Chris Hemsworth. I remember how people used to complain about Fury Road being all about Furiosa, and not enough about Max. Those people are probably not even going to bother with this one, but they absolutely should, because Chris Hemsworth, as Dementus, is so entertaining. He's a much more interesting character than Immortan Joe, and Hemsworth does a great job in executing the role on film. I also think Anya Taylor-Joy does a great job. I like her better than Charlize Theron in the role.
I've seen it twice in the theatres and I'm tempted to go again, because I know it might be the last time I get to see this world on the big screen. Hopefully we get another one, but as the movie isn't performing well, I'm worried.
@@mocthezuma I don't like it as much as Fury Road, but it's like, just a little below it in my opinion. The opening action sequence chase was amazing and really set the tone. I think Anya did fine, but I don't like her as much as Charlize Theron. Mostly she just looks too youthful to me, which is fine in the earlier parts but less good later. The whole long monologue sequence right before the end, I wasn't huge on that, but I thought it ended perfectly
If Furiosa makes enough money, George Miller will make another. Go see it!
Two Things i really liked about Furiosa ist that 1 they dont hold your Hand alot because the story explains itself. theres never a Character that bonks you on the Head with Exposition they just assume you know whats going on and 2 they finally let Scenes breath. there are scenes who would have like 15 Cuts in them or ran half the Length in ither Franchises bc its "too long" and i felt just taken seriously by this Film as a Watcher of it it was great
I think people aren't understanding Adun's criticisms of sound mixing in Fury Road, and instead conflating it with Adum not liking the music.
Wingardium Furiosa 🧙♂️
disagree about Fury Road's music, but absolutely agree about young Furiosa. Alyla was insanely good on screen and I was ultra invested in her character at that stage in her life.
RIP Scott Henson, make angels laugh!
adum’s criticisms of Fury Road remind me of the Magic Xylophone gag from The Simpsons
It’s been insane seeing comments from insane people not only calling furiosa bad because woman but also fury road having always been bad for the same reason. Like…man I know I comment a lot but it’s getting depressing reading some comment sections. Like knowing that you can 100% never change their mind.
The plan of the far right is in its next phase. After calling everything woke for years their fans now are just wildly attacking everything with women and minorities in it. Its not like these people ever cared about quality.
Yeah it’s one of those times I’m like alright, Anya TJ killed it in this and I put her up next to Ripley, Leia and other female heroes. Call me crazy, I loved Furiosa.
Half the time they’re just trolling and aren’t worth responding to in the first place
Block those broken nothings.
I'm calling it bad because she survived an RPG7 with not even a burn mark.
Furiosa is the Kill Bill 2 of Fury Road.
Absolutely the best comparison.
Best take Kurt
rlm
6:37 So pretty much, Furiosa is like IT. The film is more intense when the main character is a child.
THERE HE IS!
I get that fleshed out characters is a big one on the checklist, but I don't think it really hurt the vibe of the first one. I think that's like the train of thought that led people like Roger Ebert to say that The Thing could be thrown in the same bin as crappy slashers because it didn't have fleshed out characters with arcs. I think it was enough that they're simple, grounded characters with clear motivations in a movie with a good premise. And I think it's ok that it exists in the middle of the spectrum between something grounded like The Road, or something silly like Shoot 'em Up (one of my other favorite movies). I don't think it would have been better if nothing in it was supposed to be serious at all, but I also enjoyed how it was over the top.
It's definitely interesting to hear Adam's persepective from a different angle though, since right after I watched it last week I watched the RLM review, and my opinions lined right up with Rich Even's, lol. He thought it wasn't quite as good as the first one, but Fury Road was in the running for his actual favorite movie. Which would still make Furiosa very good. So people like us would get a lot more out of the action scenes for their own sake without needing all that pesky attatchment.
I think the world building just does a lot for me, like in the first one where the guy first spray paints his face and kamikazes himself while yelling, "WITNESS!", really stuck with me. Or like in the second one, where I thought the part where they intimidate Chris Hemsworth by having one of their guys kill themselves was worth the price of admission. And in the first one, Furiosa herself wasn't a super deep character that went through a lot of growth, but she's still one of my favorite characters in movies. I guess I feel like she just fits. Her only choicesin life are to be a badass, hang out at the bottom of that water spout with the poor people, or be one of Immortan Joe's wives. And even though there's a lot of heroes in movies, the idea of her doing something risky and heroic in the context of this bleak setting kind of makes it more impactful to me. Kind of like in Suicide Squad (one of my other favorite movies) where it seemed more heroic that they turned back to fight the monster after they had the option to just walk away with no consequences.
Furiosa got me so excited for Mufasa: A Mad Max Saga. Can’t wait for December to get here!!
I like how you mentioned good child performances being very rare. I absolutely agree. Made me think of Mackenzie Foy in Interstellar and what an awesome job she did.
A lot of problems with Fury Road make more sense when you realize it literally did not have a script; the whole thing was completely storyboarded and a lot of the actors had no idea what was going on in George Miller's head. Just one of the many things that *should* have led to it being a complete shitshow of an experience. Instead it wound up becoming one of my favorite films of all time, go figure
1:45 Strangely enough, the trailer had sound effects but no music for this scene.
Really surprised Adum didn't bring up how in Furiosa a whole giant war was described to the audience in a voiceover and we barely saw any of it. I immediately thought this would be the biggest point of disappointment for anyone watching this movie but nobody is bringing it up.
Also kinda thought the ending monologue was a little cloying and didn't quite land.
im with you on both points. was looking forward to the war, however i was also kind of relieved about its omission, since i was already kind of fatigued by then.
I don't get the criticism of the whispering dialogue in Fury Road, I take all Mad Max films after the first as just stories about Max and other wastelanders, told maybe generations after their death, so of course there's stuff like that in a relentless wasteland action fairytale film.
If big movies are still going to be 2.5 hours long for the foreseeable future, please bring back the concept of an intermission. My bladder can't take going to cinema anymore.
1:55 is the most beautiful scene in the film.. hard disagree here. gives me goosebumps every time.
I think Furiosa has the greatest difference in score between myself and Adum. Usually I rate a movie either one point higher or lower than him but I absolutely adored Furiosa. I didn’t go in knowing the runtime so every time I realized there would be even more movie I was overjoyed. There was no point I wasn’t invested and if not for the occasional visual issues it would be among my favorite films ever. I was blown away by almost every aspect of Furiosa: 9/10 for me.
Agreed on the Fury Road storm (Dune had an almost identical scene/problem iirc). Similar to your pet peeve about people always talking quietly in loud environments, I hate how many films incorporate violent, intense weather without conveying how genuinely frightening, intense, and LOUD it is. I wasn't a huge fan of "Us" but I remember the storm actually feeling daunting, which was great. Similarly "Challengers" went surprisingly hard with its debris-filled hurricane (but could have been LOUDER!).
Since I often listen to rain/storm noise for focus/etc. this just gave me the idea to try listening to those during scenes like this to see the effect, thanks!
I thoroughly enjoyed Furiosa, for some of the same reasons Adum liked it. It was also the best theatre experience I've had in years, with the other audience members being as silent and immersed in the movie as I was. I'd give it a 7/10, but 9/10 theatre experience.
The funny part is that the gate crushing car moment shown when you were two talking about movie looking cgi is filmed practically with Anya Tailor Joy actually doing 180 in a car
Yaaay, waiting for the yuma county review for the last month . Love it
I also much prefered the first hour of the film! The child actor is phenomenal. I do have a big gripe with one of the cuts, so spoilers ahead!::
Spoilers:

Spoilers:
How the heck does Furiosa escape from Dementus after he kills Praetorian Jack? I know that she cuts or gnaws off her arm, but she climbs a hill with her bike with Dementus hot behind her and the movie cuts to her walking through the desert (with a shot of maybe Max). There is nothing she could've done between the cut in order to escape Dementus...
that hmm suspicious shirt is making me rethink whether im not a furry...
Nah the music in Fury Road is great I don't agree in that at all
I thought the gun effects was terrible in furiosa, there was no recoil, also no mention of the bloated awkward pacing that movie had
RIP 💔💔💔
I liked Furiosa :)
I thought Furiosa was actually way less interesting and captivating in this than she was in Fury Road. She started out strongly, but by the end when she’s having this cathartic moment, I was like “why doesn’t this feel earned” which was especially weird because story wise, her anger was 100% earned.
And ATJ was a good casting choice, I just don’t know why she wasn’t interesting in this movie
Anger Max Furious Lady needs to be an actual movie
Can you release a video about baby reindeer and Fallout please?
Idk if he'll make a video on this channel focusing on it but he talked about Baby Reindeer on his podcast Sardoincast.
Thanks, I’ll check it out
An actual review and not just unrelated ramblings for once???? LETS GOOO
Simba!?
Shimba?!
JON?!?!?!?
REALLY REALLY REALLY.....idk if you have scripts for these shorter videos but it might be a good time to start.
Crazy that YMS is the one who sold me on Furiosa but you did. I disliked Fury Road b/c it had no character moments to speak of/felt like one long chase scene. I probably would have skipped this otherwise but I LOVED it.
I was watching this in the theatre while you where posting this.
01:05 Interesting, the movie to me has a lot of mythology-like environment and themes (Valhalla, imperators, people acting and being worshipped as if they were gods, lots of Norse mythology references, etc.) so the choice of not using realistic sound volumes seems very fitting, the people in this world are portraited as heroes and Villans from old legends and not as real people (to an extent) so if the music and sound mixing were realistic we would not be able to lost ourselves on some of the scenes, I'll be asking myself, why does Max have premonitions? how did max survive the crash in the sandstorm? Why do they waste gasoline and resources on the guitar guy? Why does the citadel is so far up from the ground in what it seems to be a flat desert? Why does it seem like Max has infinite blood? All of these questions went away as soon as I saw the guy with the guitar, my inmediate thought was "this movie is supposed to be an Epic tale like the ones from old times but with cars and bullets instead of horses and swords", sure is grounded in reality but a no point does it try to be super realistic, most of the answers to the questions that I mentioned before have a simple answer when you think about it in that way and the answer is "because it looks cool" and this movie was definitely trying to do that and not concern itself with that much realism, so the audio not being realistic while talking inside the vehicle seems logical, we are listening to the characters and anything else is just not important, the lines in those scenes would not have worked if they were screaming while talking.
I agree with Adum on the music for fury road so much. Sometimes it's like the music is trying to tell you the CGI shit you're seeing IS TOTALLY EPIC. Man just make me feel that with textile things like impact sounds, the whirling raging winds, and the sand crunching under the tires. It would've been so much more effective. Maybe hearing a horde of screams as a car gets lifted into the tornado and then those screams being cut short would've added to the tension as like 10 people just literally bit the dust. Instead it just feels like an epic movie moment. One I know I hero will overcome. Its cool, but not impactful.
ADAM!! DADDY DEREK JUST POSTED A NEW VIDEO. The character is named Hood Rat and rapper rat that’s beefing with KANYE WEST, and he’s black…but it’s Derek. It was posted 10 minutes ago and when I tell you I RAN over here
Can’t post links so this is the end link of the video

Rip scoot. Probably the funniest person on RUclips and a genuinely kind guy. He will be missed
I personally didn’t like Furiosa. Felt too long for one but the characters and story felt bare bones. Hated the bad cgi. The main character barely speaks & just stares wide eyed at everyone. Shes also just somehow an elite acrobatic assassin with expert sniper skills. Also i just find Hemsworth to be a not so great actor who dipped back into Thor quite a few times. The action was fun though. So if thats what someone is into I can see some enjoyment coming out of this one.
Fury Road and Furiosa are stories told visually first and foremost, and the sound design is meant to follow the intended effects of the stylized visuals rather than be realistic.
As an example, there are a number of shots that are silent until a vehicle appears from out of frame, and the sound of the vehicle is only audible while the vehicle is onscreen as to not spoil its appearance before it shows up. If that’s too distracting for you, that’s obviously fine, but I think that can help explain some of the sound choices. Plus, I think the characters would have to yell over the engine for literally the entire movie, and it would get very grating.
My dude said "Film" 30+ times in just the Mad Max review portion.
now go count how many times he says "really"
@@Archon331And afterwards, count how many times he says to the word " Great."
and after that, get a job
I think something worth mentioning about Last Stop In Yuma County is when the cop is conversing with the elderly couple early on, he mentions he lived in Waco TX and the woman says her grandson just moved there to sing and play guitar at Mount Carmel, which is clearly a reference to David Koresh.
If you enjoy feeling awful and having that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach then I highly recommend "Last Stop in Yuma County". This is not me saying it wasnt a very well made movie because it was, just not the feeling I enjoy coming away from a movie with.
That criticism about the music in the Storm scene in Fury Road is probably the most visceral disagreement I've had with you in a very long time lmao. That scene legit makes me cry for some reason. I see that sequence as almost less about the things that are happening in front of you, and more like a tragic commentary on what the world had become at that point. A lot of Fury Road and Furiosa are more or less commentaries on the self-destructive cycles of patriarchy and capitalism continuing even after the world was destroyed. I've always seen Fury Road as a feminist movie for men, and I think Furiosa almost doubles down on that, while also expanding on the lore of the world.
I've come to learn that I will never agree with Adam's criticisms of my favorite movies, but that's okay because when he loves a movie I know I'm probably going to love it too.
Anger Max: Furious Lady
Ermahgerd Adam is my sleep paralysis demon.
Stelvio Cipriani: the first part surname is pronounced like *chip* (microchip...) so *chip*-riani. *Ci* are almost always pronounced like that in Italian. The rest of the name was more or less ok.
so much honesty in this video
Thanks for featuring Yuma County, I fucking adored this when I saw it at Fantastic Fest
It's funny you mention Tarantino; I feel like this feels way more like a Coen Bros joint, like a sun-bleached Blood Simple.
Fury road is a masterpiece 🔥
Okay you convinced me to go watch furiosa
absolutely loved furiosa
Fury road was amazing. I haven’t seen furiosa yet because I’ll wait for it in streaming. Thats probably 80% of people out there too. Half the reason it flopped probably
I went and saw Furiosa today and got to enjoy having an entire theater to myself. Honestly, think it enhanced the experience.
1:40 honestly disagree, although I understand the dislike of it. For me, it felt properly epic and borderline mythical. I could see the scene still working like that if it had taken the music away there, but to me with or without it just seems like different intent as opposed to one being lesser than the other. I get the preference, but I get a lot of chills when the music swells in that part, whether that's a negative because the music is doing some lifting, I don't know, but I like it a lot.
You're usually on point with your musical critique in film, but for Fury Road you're way off base.
I know this is only 16 seconds old but you are nitpicking
and biased, I win bye bye
For me, the explosions seemed a little over-animated, but then again I never studied the 12 principles of animation.
I wasn't going to watch the new Mad Max film cos I thought the trailers looked trash but now I will. Thanks!
I saw this during a camping trip at a small local theater and really, really enjoyed it despite the long run time. Really sad people are skipping on it because "Max" isn't in it.
I'm not on your side with the music... I loved the epicness of MM: FR.
Got my ticket for tomorrow night and I'm excited!
This comment section has a really strange energy for a review video. I kind of just watch these video for the nice commentary and so I can watch a movie without watching a super long movie. And watch it if I really enjoyed the concepts discussed, not necessarily only watching the “good movies” by Adam’s standards.
You know a long time ago I learned that in movies when people are talking quietly to each other but it's not really talking quietly and you feel like "oh the other character should be able to hear that..." That's actually just sort of a creative liberty that filmmakers take to let you still understand what the people are saying but in the world of the movie you're supposed to imagine that they're whispering quietly and other people can't hear them. You see this at the THEATER where characters on the side are whispering loudly and everybody in the whole theater can hear them but you're supposed to imagine that the other characters can't. Like this is such nitpicky bull crap why the hell are you talking about this crap? it's like cinemasins level dumb.
But I suppose when your entire identity as a reviewer is based on underscoring great films you have to just think of _whatever_ to get annoyed at..
