@@jackbower9087we were gonna get mad max after this movie the director said he wanted to explore furiosas story then max , fyi max was mentioned in the movie we saw him look down as furosa fell in the desert he took her to get taken care of off screen
It's just weird that they said, "Oh let's give Furiosa her own movie," when Mad Max Fury Road WAS a Furiosa movie, with Max as a special guest character.
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
@@kurtdewittphoto because he's just like every other Hollywood elite, subverting the culture by means of propoganda that pushes whatever his masters want pushed. In this case, feminism/anti-male leadership.
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.
Yeah I think you're right - this film is good and is exactly the trend I'd like to see - end the girl-boss crap - let's just have people regardless of gender.
@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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
@@8301TheJMan yeah 100% with you. I think there is a circle of movie critics that are biased against girl boss/woke movies which this movie is clearly not. Even Fury road was mostly about Furiosa and Max was only there as a secondary character but somehow Furiosa got a different reception and is mind boggling for me. Too bad since Mad Max the Wasteland could be an awesome sequel that will even add more lore to the Fury Road saga but now we probably won't get to see it.
@MK384 Almost all critics have left this movie a positive review, and are speculating about *why* it flopped at the box office. Your view seems more like perception and not observation.
This movie is actually really good, (if unnecessary). It's disappointing that Miller's next entry, Mad Max: Wasteland, hinges on the success of Furiosa
you walk into a restaurant and ask for a burger and fries (mad max). waiter takes your order, comes back with grilled salmon and a salad (furiosa). he's insisting you just eat the salmon and salad and also pay for it because trust him, it's good. you see how that logic is flawed and ridden with entitlement? please stop pushing that narrative as a gotcha, it's dumb as hell
@@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.
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.
One of the only sensible takes I’ve seen of the movie, I just watched it yesterday on a whim and thought it was an excellent blend of storytelling and action. Was sad to see a lot of people are parroting others opinions
A female lead is a girl boss movie ,, they put out this movie when every action movie is girl boss so the timing of this movie is awful… maybe 7 years ago people would have given it a chance
I feel Miller made the fatal mistake of making this movie long after the hype of Fury Road died down and releasing it at probably the worst time possible since Hollywood burned so much goodwill with the audience that they will *immediately* dismiss any movie with a female lead.
movie was frozen because miller had issues with the production house over some money. took a few years to get that sorted. they could have just made the movie about max, which is what everyone wants anyway
Fury Road didn't even perform that well. Another case of a loud, obnoxious minority of people obfuscating the reality. Most people don't care about Mad Max, let alone a spin off of a reboot.
So I see a lot of people saying this movie sucks and bet they haven’t even seen it. This is going to be one of those movies that will be considered a classic 20 years from now.
I'm gonna see it and probably buy it on br. Fury Road is one or my all time favorites. Disappointed to hear more CGi used more in this though. Fury Road was so visceral.
@@himynameisaaron86 CGI looks like ass. That buggy jumping over that dune looks like a ps2 cutscene. Not realistic at all. And can't believe that girlboss actress couldn't even be bothered to learn how to ride a dirtbike si they had her bike rigged up ona pole so she doesnt fall over lmao. What trash.
Seen it and nope, no classic here. Not a terrible film, just one Girly Boss too many (and make no mistake, no matter what he says here, she’s a 120lb bunch of nothing who would barely be able to carry some of these weapons, never mind fire them accurately) at a bad time. Chris Hemsworth is awesome though.
My issue with alot of these strong female leads is they always pick the thinnest, wimpiest looking women. Same problem i had with wonder woman. Make her buff. If male actors have to get that fit for a role so do they. They really want to show women can be strong but pick petite women.
She doesn't do anything crazy physical in this movie. She doesn't wrestle men twice her size and weight. She mainly shoots really good. It actually is completely fine she is so small and thin because it makes her survival of things that more impressive. And she doesn't do anything super unrealistic (other than not bleeding out)
@@jesustyronechrist2330 Charlize Theron is much better than Anya Taylor-Joy. It doesn't logically make sense to cast Anya for this role, even if what you said is true.
@@detective2221 from what I recall george miller didn't want to have charlize theron play furiosa again because it'd either be too difficult to make her look young enough to fill the prequel role, or it'd end up looking bad. or both. working with what he had, as far as I'm aware
Same thing I said I just followed RUclips reviewers and turns out the movies is far more superior than people words , bad beginning and bad choice for annya but the rest is pure gold
Hollywood shot themselves in the foot. If they hadn’t of shoved years of crap movies with girlboss leads down out throats, people would have gave this a chance.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, today I listened the full soundtrack of Fury Road and it's wonderful. Unbelievable that the same person can make such a weak soundtrack for Furiosa, maybe he wasn't so inspired by the movie...
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.
It's a great movie, people just don't want to go out and see it because either A) they don't have the time or B) They don't want to spend the money. This movie would have made loads back in the late 2010s.
@@danielbear9183 It's a franchise whose name is that of the main character, a man. The protagonist of this film is another character, a woman. This is a first grade puzzle, friend. It's entirely possible it's a fantastic movie with a great lead character, and gender politics fatigue has caused an unfair audience reaction, but there is a reason for that reaction. Your comment is not only demonstrably untrue at the most basic level, it does nothing to make the argument you're trying to make here. You've contributed less than nothing, you need to try harder.
@@TheWarmotor the mad max movies have never been about max, he's a passenger to the events going on. your favourite part of mad max is max? the guy with 18 lines of dialogue? not the cars, the stunts, the crazy characters and design of the world? max… max is your favourite part? I don't believe you.. Also the film is called Furiosa, Mad Max is the brand. Max isn't called Mad max in the films, just max or the road warrior.
This movie was FANTASTIC. We should feel nothing good about it flopping, it sends a real bad message to Hollywood. Ok mad Max wasn’t in it, but cmon the movie is named after her FFS!
I'm really confused because it's a really good movie. It has a lot more world building that's done great. I wonder if it's because Anna-Joy is still new to some people
@@MachineMan-mj4gj Which is sad, because her character in this movie, (and the previous one), should be a blueprint for how to make an actual badass female lead main character in an action-flick
It's more that people need youtubers to tell them how to think and the RUclips channels that be are saying this movie sucks. But it doesn't, this guy complains about hoping there isn't a follow up to the movie when it is literally the prequel for Fury Road. At this point people seem to like to hate things just for the sake of hating something.
@@squatchit5700 lol Most of us folks don't got alot of money to go to theaters... Most youtubers (at least the main ones) are saying this was a good movie but this is hollywood ~Even critical drinker said he liked this movie~.. Hollywood haven't been doing well lately (Bad reputation) This movie LOOKED like another result of hollywood trash which led alot of people to avoid it. This movie was for furiosa but the fans wanted mad max... 9 yrs of waiting.....
I agree. This movie was terrific, and I hope it does well enough on DVD and streaming for George Miller to be able to give us a Mad Max: Wasteland film.
I saw this movie like 4 times in theatres, its so good and I hate that it's flopping. Probably the best action movie I've seen in theatres since infinity war.
Infinity war was hot garbage so your standards are pretty low Fury road was far superior, watching the clips of fury road scattered into the credits just rubbed salt in the wound , like "oh wow remember how good fury road was? I member" completely illustrated my frustration the entire time I watched wondering why tf they decided to go full cgi
I'm sure he can "handle it", but that doesn't mean he wants to pay to see a girl boss movie. I agree with the OP. Love the franchise but have zero desire to see a female led action film about a character I didn't need an origin story for with no Mad Max.
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.
Wait are you telling me that taking an established franchise and taking away the literal character the franchise is named after to replace him with a female character that isn't even being played by the original actress... isn't leading to a success???? How shocking! I'm sure it will be due to men or something. Maybe it's the bears!
As a huge Fury Road fan I didn't love this movie. It was overly long, poorly edited, and the filming as a whole felt strangely amateur. Very surprising for George Miller.
As soon as I saw the trailer my first thought was "So it's another girl boss movie replacing the male lead, and they even brought Chris Hemsworth in to play the large but kinda laughable goofball white male lead villain who of course is more mocked than actually a good villain. Cause for some reason they just love bringing in Chris Hemsworth to humiliate himself as a retarded himbo." Like at least based on the trailers, the movie looks like Furiosa will be a badass action hero with, pretty much no personality or womanly qualities, so a super manly action hero without the physique or ability to do cool shit to compensate for the lack of unique traits, while Hemsworth will be loud and angry and the movie will not really take him seriously. Just adding onto that she's "not a mary sue" doesn't, really fix it. Like the problem is we're tired of the same lazy shit over and over, this is still lazy and it's obviously not different enough to catch ANYONE'S attention. The movie seems totally pointless, and not just because anyone who watched Fury Road already knows the whole fucking story. Like sure, maybe it's like a bare minimum quality generic action flick, but there's nothing DRAWING me to go see it. There's no big pull anywhere in there. So far the most glowing review I've seen amounts to "watch the action scene in the middle of the movie on youtube". And that's it. Furiosa isn't really a character and she doesn't have anything extra to compensate. Chris isn't allowed to be a real villain, so that part's wasted. There's apparently only ONE properly good action scene in the whole movie, so all of that's pointless too. It's basically The Marvel's lesson all over again. Even if you cut out most of the woke garbage, that doesn't mean your movie has substance now.
39 seconds in and I'm done. Everyone is terrified of criticizing a George Miller Mad Max Universe film. If this sad, plot holed poorly contrived movie was released with Zack Snyder's name on it, it would be shredded.
Yeah everyone treats George Miller with kid gloves like he's some kind of sacred cow who can do no wrong just he's been around so long. Dude has clearly lost the plot...figuratively and literally.
Fury road was already basically a Furiosa movie. Miller and co royally botched this one by not giving Max his own movie. Would have been really cool to see Mel Gibson make a cameo too
1. Mel was blacklisted a long time ago for telling the truth about Hollyweird and some other things thagt you can't even post on YT. 2. Miller devolved into a fassive maggot long ago as well.
The biggest plot hole to me was her upbringing. She was traded to become Immortan Joe's bride, then escaped and hid undercover as a War Boy. She shows up on the rig, and no one is questioning who she is? Immortan Joe and Furiosa never have any dialogue that would suggest he respects her to drive the rig, or give any motivation as to why Furiosa hates him so much and wants to steals the brides and go home. No explanation is given as to why this random woman is allowed to live with the war boys, and not be a bride. No explanation is really given as to how she earns her reputation in the Citadel.
She was mentored by Praetorian Jack after her surprise appearance on the war rig. She became a Praetorian herself and was later promoted to Imperator. Even if Immortan Joe ever recognized her as his child bride she was damaged goods by then, with an arm missing and all.
@@AnnaDraconida how would a 90 pound model looking woman with long hair go on pretending to be a man for more than 10 years? come on. and why does she hate Joe? she should love him for saving her from Dementus and promoting her to imperator.
How can people say this isnt a "girlboss" movie. Literally the first 5 mins, literally, is just 3 scrawny chics whooping full grown dudes ass in an apocalypse scenario.. lol. This is what people are sick of. This is why it flopped.
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!
why is every loser ranting about the film not including Max, the film is a damn prequel to Fury Road about Furiosa and her backstory. Miller already had the script done while filming FURY ROAD. ITS NOT TO REPLACE MAD MAX
Amongst other factors, I’d suggest people are simply done watching women doing, what are, men’s stories. It doesn’t matter if it’s well done. These are bloke stories. The tolerance (even enjoyment) for the inverse is there, but very limited. We’ve had almost a decade of it smashed in our faces. Enough.
Exactly. They should blame women for the movie not doing well. It was made for them. Why didn't THEY break the bank at the theatre to support it, hmm? All we ever hear about is how women are out-earning men and that's just so stunning and brave...so let THEM put THEIR money where their big mouths are. Time to pony up. Ladies...PLZ RESPOND.
I fucking don't. Gibson was my parents action hero. Now he's an aging septuagenarian with some really weird ideas about Jews. If you think it's ridiculous a short thin girl becomes a mad Max protagonist, just wait until an old man with a cane starts showing up. You think you want that, but you don't, and such a mad Max with Gibson would bomb worse than the planes flying over Dresden in 1945.
I saw it the other day. It was fun and entertaining, and ended abruptly. That said, ti was a revenge flick more than anything else. I'd still give it a 7/10 and they had Max appear for a brief moment, overlooking a scene. Chris Hemsworth was vile as the villain, which was good. He made you almost see Immortan Joe as a good guy.
I watched it in the largest theater on Discount Tuesday for $7. Me and the two other people that were in the 800 seat theater agreed it was really good. I've never seen any theater so empty... ever. Especially in an opening week!!!
@@aldrichuyliong8143 When my showing was over, I stood up and yelled to the guy in the back. "Hey, this movie was really good!" He said, "I know!" I said, "Why the hell is the theater so empty?" He said, "I dunno."
@@onesaucynougat7471 In the sniper scenes with Furiosa's mom, did it feel like the bullets were whizzing past your head? I actually flinched... then that bad guy's head exploded.
"She doesn't Girl Boss" Gonna have to call Bullshit here. Everything she does, she does perfectly her first try. Every shot a headshot, every hit a knock out. She rips off her own arm, then proceeds to remove a monster trucks tire and escape unseen. She removes Thor's bike tire while he is sleeping on it. Builds an arm from nothing. Gets hit by an RPG, but a little dirt stops all force. It's Girl Bossing to 9000. And they picked the tiniest woman in Hollywood to do the Bossing.
idk Dementus didn't work at all for me... just felt like a totally stupid character. Chris getting his wife to play 2 different roles is kind of a joke as well
Seriously? Dementus is in fact demented but he's also quite clever as the way how we saw him take over gas Town and he would've took over the citadel if furiosa hadn't told immortan joe his plan
Yeah, he felt oddly cartoony instead of just ridiculous. It's a weird balance, but all the villains in Max Max have a "thing" and a method to their madness. Dementus is just wacky woohoo mad.
If this film had been released before Captain Marvel started the Great Girlboss War of Attrition...well, it most likely would have done a little better. I feel like Hollywood conditioned people to stay at home with bad films and constant streaming. Ppl went to see Dune 2 and to a lesser extent Godzilla Minus One. To me this shows that they'll show up for good stories. I think the era of giant megaplex theaters is coming to a close.
I feel bad for people who wanted this to work, like yeah a movie without max could maybe work, great actors and cool idea but just.. sorry but max is just better, this ain't about sex it's purely about character
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.
Didn’t like her in Fury Road. Wasn’t looking for her story. Sometimes you just have to give the audience what they want. The audience wasn’t looking for this, regardless of how great it may be.
Probably a good movie but half the audience is just not interested in seeing any sort of "Boss Karen" who ruined Hollywood over the past number of years. BTW The CGI looks poor from these clips.
10:39 she is an excellent choice for this role, and she blew The Menu away. The real issue is, this film in it's defense had Fury Road to live up to and fell short, and it doesn't help that people are just not feeling this convert a male lead in to a female lead for a film thing. We dont have any issue with female leads, look at Alien series, Hunger Games, Wonder Woman. Do it original and do it PROPERLY.
The aesthetics and action look cool, but I am all girlbossed out for the rest of my life. Hell, even rethinking Fury Road after 10 years, we can see the subversive propoganda.
I watched "Mad Max--The Road Warrior" in a theater when it first came out, and though not an excitable man by nature I remember at the end of it I jumped into my '81 Toyota Corolla and burned rubber out of the parking lot as though I was escaping Lord Wez in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Great if "Furiosa" is a good movie, or a "worthy entry in the franchise." I don't care. That's not going to get me into the theater. Tell me that I'm going to want to jump into my Yaris 1a and peel out of the parking lot.
thats such a dumb criticism like yea shes a woman okay buddy but if you actually saw the movie you would know she had basically been training inadvertently since she was a child and even gets formal training from a guy thats essentially Chad Max who actually has his shizz together, also its not like she ever actually bests anyone on sheer strength and mass thats totally moronic. shes almost exclusively involved in scraps and gunfights most of which are on the road, won by the skin of her teeth through cunning dexterity and a cool head under pressure because she obviously had been taught those would be her advantages in a harsh world from a very young age not to mention her childhood kidnapping and horrific resulting trauma fueling her drive hatred and desire for revenge. besides, if you had seen the movie you would know that while she is quite capable for the most part she still takes a lot of losses which just makes it all the more satisfying when she finally has her prey cornered having come back through hell and sheer torment and finally gets her revenge. i remember once i was like four or five and there was some movie where a girl beat up a boy and it just made me feel insecure and mad for some reason and i hit a teddy bear or something idk but basically what i remember taking from that memory is sort of just that its a bit silly to react that way to something in movies or whatever cause honestly its no more impossible than most of the other stuff in this thing and its actually a really good movie. you should go see it. max shows up for a sec.
@@yeahey5947there's plenty of women who make believable action heros. Not her, but there's plenty of them. She could definitely play a 10 year old though
Did you not like Furiosa in Fury Road?? This is the same character written and directed by the guy who made all the Mad Max movies. Have a little faith and see the movie before you make your judgement call.
Wrong. There was no bait and switch. Go back and rewatch all the previous Mad Max movies. Max is a supporting character to some degree in all the Mad Max movies.
The whole movie feels like it was trying to recreate what made Fury Road so special, but had none of the heart or talent put into it. A lot of bad camera work, the CGI and overlaying effects making it look too fake. Especially with the green screen. There is no excuse to not have good green screen in this day and age when it was being done competently in the late 90s. Scenes drag on for too long. Nothing is shown that matches the grand scope and intensity of Fury Road, and that is its biggest problem.
The thing about CG is that it should be used to fu things you can't do irl. If it is used too much then your eyes catch on that it is fake, but if it is used sparingly, you don't catch it as much.
Things that went against this movie. 1. It came out too many years too late 2. It's a prequel which typically never do all that well financially 3. The marketing was pretty weak overall. 4. Furiosa does not have the same as Marquee value as Mad Max. 5. Chris Hemsworth nose prosthetic. (it was weird looking)
I saw this movie on opening day and although it wasn't as gnarly as Fury Road, it was entertaining and it was interesting to know Furiosa's back story. I always wondered why she was in the Citadel, allowed to drive the rigs (wven though she was female) and how she lost her arm, and in that respect I was fulfilled. Even though I knew her ultimate fate, I found the movie quite interesting. Who cares how believable the fight scenes or whatever. Like come on seriously. ITS A FUCKING MOVIE. I enjoyed it 8/10.
Sigh. Seeing a movie does not cost $50 a person. It costs the price of a ticket. Loading up on popcorn is optional. And even if the ticket price is pushing $20, that's still way less than new release streaming rental rates, which are closer to $30. This argument has never made sense to me.
Everyone talking about 50$ per person to see a movie, my wife and I was furious for like 18$ total. Sneak the candy and drink in, not that hard. Who is paying for all that overpriced crap?
My favorite part of the movie is when the audience realized no one gave a fuck, gives two shits, or ever will give two shits and a fuck about Furiosa. EVER!
Mad Max without Mad Max. The end of the Skywalker saga, without Luke Skywalker. Ghostbusters 2016 without the Ghostbusters. Dr Who without the Doctor (whoever is in it now is NOT the Doctor). The next Avengers film without the Avengers. Black Widow without Black Widow. Hawkeye without Hawkeye. I'm starting to see a pattern here.......
Dumb af Hollywood now thinks more is always better and is the reason we’re inundated with bloated, uneven messes time and time again. Bring back 90min movies if all you’re doing is adding padding just so you can hit an arbitrary 2hr+ runtime. I’ll wait to stream it.
I'm just sick of having people complain about Hollywood endless pushing agendas, having them promise they will stop, and just go right back to it. I'm sure this film is fine, but I'm fed up with Hollywood entirely. I don't care what they produce, if it's from Hollywood, I'm skipping it.
I wouldn't put it anywhere close to Fury Road, personally. Mostly because Fury Road is so far up there in quality that it's extremely difficult to reach that high. However, Furiosa was still really good, even with all the distracting CGI.
@@zombiedoodoo1295 you're right. Fury Road already sets the bar too high. I'm just disappointed that people are not even willing to give this one a chance even after all the good reviews. Furiosa as a standalone is a still great movie experience
I’m also on the belief that Furiosa is on par to Fury Road. The thing about Furiosa is that I didn’t feel feel too compelled about her as a character, because she pretty much had her own movie in the first one. From the jump of the movie’s announcement this made me question why the need for a standalone movie as I didn’t think it was needed. What I didn’t think I would need was the fact that the movie showed some of the best world building, lore, enviroment and mass scale of the mad max world that neither of the previous movies have ever done. People can harp about the action, lack of practical effects and length, but at the end it rewarded me with something I had always wanted from a mad max film.
Honestly I forgot to watch it opening weekend and ended up watching it mid week. It’s a good movie, and it brings you back to that world, all the actors are solid and script is ok. You do notice the CGI, but it’s still a good watch. There was a part that I wish they had the budget and time to show. Fury Road though had an unmatched energy to it.
You're making a mistake and sending a message to Hollywood that better written action films shouldn't be made. Did you dislike the Furiosa character in Fury Road? Have a little faith in George Miller. He's not out to insult the audience.
@@detective2221 haha are you just finding all my comments and trying to troll them? Its just a movie if you hate it that much without seeing it maybe find a better hobby.
What worries me is that they'll take less risks in the future because of how poorly this performed. This movie was great and now we'll see less like it.
I just don’t care about this story. I don’t like prequels in general, and of this character… I just don’t need to see it. I also really don’t like ATJ, she’s a little rich brat that comes from a family who bought her way into Hollywood with blood money. She’s plays the same character in every film except The Witch.
I think she is a good actress. She is a bit one-note, I agree. But that's probably more due to the roles she picks rather than her lacking the acting chops. Here, she shuts up most of the time and when she does speak, she sounds scarily similar to Charlize Theron (who played Furiosa in Fury Road). So she does a really good job here. I don't think you coming from a rich family makes you any less worthy to do a good job.
People that say they don't want another movie with a female lead replacing a man in its own universe really expose themselves they don't understand the franchise and that this has absolutely no relation to your average girlboss movie we have been plagued for the past 2 years. But .. what can we do its sad the industry made it upon its self
What I don't get is everybody loved Furiosa in Fury Road but now say "we don't want to be pandered to with a girl-boss" Its the same character from the movie you loved! Why do you assume its gonna be bad!!!??
Just another husk of a franchise that could’ve had an honourable death a long time ago after the first few amazing movies. But due to lack of creativity and honesty and Hollywood its lumbering cgi zombie corpse has to be dragged out on stage for us to consume once again. Smiling Friends season 2 tho
I was about 5 when Mad Max came out. They played them in schools as a documentary. We use them as a training manual for the army. I watch all 3 of the movies at least every six months, I occasionally watch that other one. I am not the worlds biggest fan but I am up there. I can watch movies for free, easily in my living room. I will still never watch this movie.

EXCELLENT WORK. THE MOVIE CYNIC FURIOSA FLOPPY REVIEW 👌
She's a terrible person to play this part. She is very inauthentic in any role she plays.
im eating pbj and rice and spaghetti rn, i dont have time to go to the movies, what is this, 2016? fuck no!
Watched it 2 times. Movies is amazing 👏
well, I started watching furiosa and then I stopped watching Furiosa, without reading any reviews, without seeing any trailers, enough said
Really hate how this movie is flopping gives the studio another reason not to green light a fury road sequel
The same thing I said about Birds of Prey, its a good movie if you just forget the politics
Shouldn't have made a movie no one asked for and stuck with max
@@jackbower9087 I liked it 🤷♂
@@v_Shami that's cool. Movie failed
@@jackbower9087we were gonna get mad max after this movie the director said he wanted to explore furiosas story then max , fyi max was mentioned in the movie we saw him look down as furosa fell in the desert he took her to get taken care of off screen
It's just weird that they said, "Oh let's give Furiosa her own movie," when Mad Max Fury Road WAS a Furiosa movie, with Max as a special guest character.
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
Right , i always saw fury road as MAX visiting different situations and individuals, i really was hopeing for another max film
@@kurtdewittphoto because he's just like every other Hollywood elite, subverting the culture by means of propoganda that pushes whatever his masters want pushed. In this case, feminism/anti-male leadership.
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.
Tell me you don't understand the Mad Max movies without telling me..
I think the movie is just released at a bad time. Hollywood has burned a lot of bridges with movie-goers.
shame the film was great
Yeah I think you're right - this film is good and is exactly the trend I'd like to see - end the girl-boss crap - let's just have people regardless of gender.
@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.
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.
@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.
I’ve met more people who’ve liked it in person than who disliked it
Saw it, it was excellent. By the end I couldn't wait to see Dementus get his, and I was not at all disappointed. Seriously fuck that guy.
These mouth breathing normies will slurp up whatever slop is fed to them, so that's not really a reliable barometer for success.
Yea the internet isn’t real. Also 90% of people complaining on the internet haven’t actually seen it. People who have seen it loved it.
same
Fr great movie
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.
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.
And waste money. It's not going to help. Millennials helped the government destroy the economy.
Furiosa made more than Fury Road did on it's Memorial Day Weekend.
@@8301TheJMan yeah 100% with you. I think there is a circle of movie critics that are biased against girl boss/woke movies which this movie is clearly not. Even Fury road was mostly about Furiosa and Max was only there as a secondary character but somehow Furiosa got a different reception and is mind boggling for me. Too bad since Mad Max the Wasteland could be an awesome sequel that will even add more lore to the Fury Road saga but now we probably won't get to see it.
@MK384 Almost all critics have left this movie a positive review, and are speculating about *why* it flopped at the box office. Your view seems more like perception and not observation.
This movie is actually really good, (if unnecessary). It's disappointing that Miller's next entry, Mad Max: Wasteland, hinges on the success of Furiosa
What movie is necessary?

Yup, a small popcorn at the Regal I saw "Furiosa" at a couple days ago was $9...insane.
$10???.......................why?
@@FrostSapphire-bm2tt Because most of the ticket money is given to Hollywood.
For a new movie up to 95% of the ticket revenue goes to the distributor. Cinemas are in the popcorn selling business not the film business

you walk into a restaurant and ask for a burger and fries (mad max). waiter takes your order, comes back with grilled salmon and a salad (furiosa). he's insisting you just eat the salmon and salad and also pay for it because trust him, it's good.
you see how that logic is flawed and ridden with entitlement? please stop pushing that narrative as a gotcha, it's dumb as hell
I saw it twice, loved it!
@@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.
It might be a good movie, but I just don't care.

@@ccdev you didn’t watch it STFU
@@ccdev sorry to disappoint you internet man
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.
Hit the nail on the head 💯
Bingo. Thanks for talking sense.
One of the only sensible takes I’ve seen of the movie, I just watched it yesterday on a whim and thought it was an excellent blend of storytelling and action. Was sad to see a lot of people are parroting others opinions
So why Mario and Barbie made over 1B?
A female lead is a girl boss movie ,, they put out this movie when every action movie is girl boss so the timing of this movie is awful… maybe 7 years ago people would have given it a chance
I feel Miller made the fatal mistake of making this movie long after the hype of Fury Road died down and releasing it at probably the worst time possible since Hollywood burned so much goodwill with the audience that they will *immediately* dismiss any movie with a female lead.
Preach
Just because you are a shallow nitwit...
Thank Covid.
movie was frozen because miller had issues with the production house over some money. took a few years to get that sorted. they could have just made the movie about max, which is what everyone wants anyway
Fury Road didn't even perform that well. Another case of a loud, obnoxious minority of people obfuscating the reality. Most people don't care about Mad Max, let alone a spin off of a reboot.
So I see a lot of people saying this movie sucks and bet they haven’t even seen it. This is going to be one of those movies that will be considered a classic 20 years from now.
I'm gonna see it and probably buy it on br. Fury Road is one or my all time favorites. Disappointed to hear more CGi used more in this though. Fury Road was so visceral.
@@himynameisaaron86 CGI looks like ass. That buggy jumping over that dune looks like a ps2 cutscene. Not realistic at all.

I have watched it. It is nowhere near the quality of the last film. 5/10 movie
Seen it and nope, no classic here. Not a terrible film, just one Girly Boss too many (and make no mistake, no matter what he says here, she’s a 120lb bunch of nothing who would barely be able to carry some of these weapons, never mind fire them accurately) at a bad time. Chris Hemsworth is awesome though.
No it won’t stop glazing
My issue with alot of these strong female leads is they always pick the thinnest, wimpiest looking women. Same problem i had with wonder woman. Make her buff. If male actors have to get that fit for a role so do they. They really want to show women can be strong but pick petite women.
what you mean gal gadot was perfect for the role
She doesn't do anything crazy physical in this movie. She doesn't wrestle men twice her size and weight. She mainly shoots really good.
It actually is completely fine she is so small and thin because it makes her survival of things that more impressive. And she doesn't do anything super unrealistic (other than not bleeding out)

Who did she beat up?
Clearly, you didn't actually watch the movie.
Can we also mention that the soundtrack was dubbed down this time too. Not as great as Fury Road.
I was thinking exactly the same thing, today I listened the full soundtrack of Fury Road and it's wonderful. Unbelievable that the same person can make such a weak soundtrack for Furiosa, maybe he wasn't so inspired by the movie...
@@gastonruiz4061 it was halfassed. Not even the grungy upbeat sound in the chase scene.
Yup. The Fury Road Score was spine-tingling perfection ...
Thank you. I was disappointed by the soundtrack
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.
That movie is GREAT this world is crazy now. Why would people spread a LIE saying the movie is not good
Because they may not like the movie? Have you tried listening?
Because it's not good.
ok sheep run along now
It's a great movie, people just don't want to go out and see it because either A) they don't have the time or B) They don't want to spend the money. This movie would have made loads back in the late 2010s.
It was pretty good , unfortunately the terrible CGI completely ruined it
If they used real cars and practical effects I would have loved it
People are broke. And tired of women replacing men, and vice versa.
That is brutal and sad, and VERY TRUE. This comment needs to be pinned and referenced in future videos.

I don't believe you..
Also the film is called Furiosa, Mad Max is the brand. Max isn't called Mad max in the films, just max or the road warrior.

Fury road was far superior, watching the clips of fury road scattered into the credits just rubbed salt in the wound , like "oh wow remember how good fury road was? I member" completely illustrated my frustration the entire time I watched wondering why tf they decided to go full cgi

I'm sure he can "handle it", but that doesn't mean he wants to pay to see a girl boss movie. I agree with the OP. Love the franchise but have zero desire to see a female led action film about a character I didn't need an origin story for with no Mad Max.
Speak for yourself
Neither women.
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.
Wait are you telling me that taking an established franchise and taking away the literal character the franchise is named after to replace him with a female character that isn't even being played by the original actress... isn't leading to a success???? How shocking!
I'm sure it will be due to men or something. Maybe it's the bears!
If they marketed better to bears, the movie would've made a billion dollars.
Have you seen it? Not a bad film
Sounds like somebody hasnt seen the film yet
It’s so good
@@TheVassal Sounds like a lot of people never will.
As a huge Fury Road fan I didn't love this movie. It was overly long, poorly edited, and the filming as a whole felt strangely amateur. Very surprising for George Miller.
As soon as I saw the trailer my first thought was "So it's another girl boss movie replacing the male lead, and they even brought Chris Hemsworth in to play the large but kinda laughable goofball white male lead villain who of course is more mocked than actually a good villain. Cause for some reason they just love bringing in Chris Hemsworth to humiliate himself as a retarded himbo."
Like at least based on the trailers, the movie looks like Furiosa will be a badass action hero with, pretty much no personality or womanly qualities, so a super manly action hero without the physique or ability to do cool shit to compensate for the lack of unique traits, while Hemsworth will be loud and angry and the movie will not really take him seriously.
Just adding onto that she's "not a mary sue" doesn't, really fix it. Like the problem is we're tired of the same lazy shit over and over, this is still lazy and it's obviously not different enough to catch ANYONE'S attention. The movie seems totally pointless, and not just because anyone who watched Fury Road already knows the whole fucking story.
Like sure, maybe it's like a bare minimum quality generic action flick, but there's nothing DRAWING me to go see it. There's no big pull anywhere in there. So far the most glowing review I've seen amounts to "watch the action scene in the middle of the movie on youtube". And that's it. Furiosa isn't really a character and she doesn't have anything extra to compensate. Chris isn't allowed to be a real villain, so that part's wasted. There's apparently only ONE properly good action scene in the whole movie, so all of that's pointless too.
It's basically The Marvel's lesson all over again. Even if you cut out most of the woke garbage, that doesn't mean your movie has substance now.
Just like another famous George (Romero). You reach a peak...and then you backslide.

We already saw a movie about Furiosa. It's called Fury Road. I'd like to see a movie about Max again.
39 seconds in and I'm done. Everyone is terrified of criticizing a George Miller Mad Max Universe film. If this sad, plot holed poorly contrived movie was released with Zack Snyder's name on it, it would be shredded.
Yeah everyone treats George Miller with kid gloves like he's some kind of sacred cow who can do no wrong just he's been around so long. Dude has clearly lost the plot...figuratively and literally.
man i thought i was the only person that seen all the plot holes no one talks about them but it made the movie unwatchable
Fury road was already basically a Furiosa movie. Miller and co royally botched this one by not giving Max his own movie. Would have been really cool to see Mel Gibson make a cameo too
Miller hates Gibson. It will never happen. Plus, Miller is an old man. He will most likely never get a chance to direct another large scale film.
1. Mel was blacklisted a long time ago for telling the truth about Hollyweird and some other things thagt you can't even post on YT.
2. Miller devolved into a fassive maggot long ago as well.
It was bad tbh. Really bad, I walked out towards the end bc it was so recycled ♻️
Bad in what aspects? Have you watched the film?
You probably watch Disney plus originals so who cares what you think
The biggest plot hole to me was her upbringing. She was traded to become Immortan Joe's bride, then escaped and hid undercover as a War Boy. She shows up on the rig, and no one is questioning who she is? Immortan Joe and Furiosa never have any dialogue that would suggest he respects her to drive the rig, or give any motivation as to why Furiosa hates him so much and wants to steals the brides and go home. No explanation is given as to why this random woman is allowed to live with the war boys, and not be a bride. No explanation is really given as to how she earns her reputation in the Citadel.
She was mentored by Praetorian Jack after her surprise appearance on the war rig. She became a Praetorian herself and was later promoted to Imperator. Even if Immortan Joe ever recognized her as his child bride she was damaged goods by then, with an arm missing and all.
@@AnnaDraconida how would a 90 pound model looking woman with long hair go on pretending to be a man for more than 10 years? come on. and why does she hate Joe? she should love him for saving her from Dementus and promoting her to imperator.

Texas Chainsaw '06 is the only one I find acceptable for a prequel. Quite possibly one of the best remakes, which is hard to pull off.

nah we want mad max not girl boss number two
How can people say this isnt a "girlboss" movie. Literally the first 5 mins, literally, is just 3 scrawny chics whooping full grown dudes ass in an apocalypse scenario.. lol. This is what people are sick of. This is why it flopped.
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!
What about any of it is steampunk? Gasoline is the core of the franchise lol
I completely agree with you on that. I loved Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and I hope George Miller is able to make his Mad Max Wasteland movie.
why is every loser ranting about the film not including Max, the film is a damn prequel to Fury Road about Furiosa and her backstory. Miller already had the script done while filming FURY ROAD. ITS NOT TO REPLACE MAD MAX

I fucking don't. Gibson was my parents action hero. Now he's an aging septuagenarian with some really weird ideas about Jews.
If you think it's ridiculous a short thin girl becomes a mad Max protagonist, just wait until an old man with a cane starts showing up.
You think you want that, but you don't, and such a mad Max with Gibson would bomb worse than the planes flying over Dresden in 1945.

@@GorGob you know I'm right. Hell the last Indiana Jones bombed, and Harrison Ford is far more beloved than that crusty toenail gibson
Then you have four other movies to choose from. Why are you crying over one? lol
I saw it the other day. It was fun and entertaining, and ended abruptly. That said, ti was a revenge flick more than anything else. I'd still give it a 7/10 and they had Max appear for a brief moment, overlooking a scene. Chris Hemsworth was vile as the villain, which was good. He made you almost see Immortan Joe as a good guy.
I watched it in the largest theater on Discount Tuesday for $7. Me and the two other people that were in the 800 seat theater agreed it was really good.
I've never seen any theater so empty... ever. Especially in an opening week!!!
My theater was almost full, I guess it depends on where your theatres at
@@onesaucynougat7471 Cool!
Same. Besides me and my SO there were only about 2-3 other small groups in the theater.
@@aldrichuyliong8143 When my showing was over, I stood up and yelled to the guy in the back. "Hey, this movie was really good!"
He said, "I know!"
I said, "Why the hell is the theater so empty?"
He said, "I dunno."
@@onesaucynougat7471 In the sniper scenes with Furiosa's mom, did it feel like the bullets were whizzing past your head? I actually flinched... then that bad guy's head exploded.
"She doesn't Girl Boss" Gonna have to call Bullshit here. Everything she does, she does perfectly her first try. Every shot a headshot, every hit a knock out. She rips off her own arm, then proceeds to remove a monster trucks tire and escape unseen. She removes Thor's bike tire while he is sleeping on it. Builds an arm from nothing. Gets hit by an RPG, but a little dirt stops all force. It's Girl Bossing to 9000. And they picked the tiniest woman in Hollywood to do the Bossing.
idk Dementus didn't work at all for me... just felt like a totally stupid character. Chris getting his wife to play 2 different roles is kind of a joke as well
Seriously? Dementus is in fact demented but he's also quite clever as the way how we saw him take over gas Town and he would've took over the citadel if furiosa hadn't told immortan joe his plan
Yeah, he felt oddly cartoony instead of just ridiculous. It's a weird balance, but all the villains in Max Max have a "thing" and a method to their madness.
Dementus is just wacky woohoo mad.
There were only 4 people in the theatre I saw it in, all of them male. Women don't show up to watch women lead action movies.
If this film had been released before Captain Marvel started the Great Girlboss War of Attrition...well, it most likely would have done a little better. I feel like Hollywood conditioned people to stay at home with bad films and constant streaming. Ppl went to see Dune 2 and to a lesser extent Godzilla Minus One. To me this shows that they'll show up for good stories. I think the era of giant megaplex theaters is coming to a close.
Thats a shame that the movie is good, I think people saw anna taylor joy as the lead and thought it just be a pandering men are bad movie.
Ain't hard, I hate everything that Hollywood has become, and I'd rather watch it commit suicide by a thousand flops than keep limping on as it is.
I feel you but this is George Miller we’re talking about. He is the exception
@@TheIrishManXVIwho?
I feel bad for people who wanted this to work, like yeah a movie without max could maybe work, great actors and cool idea but just.. sorry but max is just better, this ain't about sex it's purely about character
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.
Didn’t like her in Fury Road. Wasn’t looking for her story. Sometimes you just have to give the audience what they want. The audience wasn’t looking for this, regardless of how great it may be.
Probably a good movie but half the audience is just not interested in seeing any sort of "Boss Karen" who ruined Hollywood over the past number of years. BTW The CGI looks poor from these clips.
10:39 she is an excellent choice for this role, and she blew The Menu away. The real issue is, this film in it's defense had Fury Road to live up to and fell short, and it doesn't help that people are just not feeling this convert a male lead in to a female lead for a film thing. We dont have any issue with female leads, look at Alien series, Hunger Games, Wonder Woman. Do it original and do it PROPERLY.
The aesthetics and action look cool, but I am all girlbossed out for the rest of my life.
Hell, even rethinking Fury Road after 10 years, we can see the subversive propoganda.
How is this propaganda? It’s just an action movie that has a female lead.
@@onesaucynougat7471 The movie wasn't good. Just stop trying to make it good.
@@detective2221 I’m not trying to make it good I believe it actually was a good movie
@@onesaucynougat7471the whole movie is: women good, men bad, men only good when working for women.
@@asellandrofacchio7263 I mean the guys who are good are good because they work with the protagonist. That’s how most things work.
I watched "Mad Max--The Road Warrior" in a theater when it first came out, and though not an excitable man by nature I remember at the end of it I jumped into my '81 Toyota Corolla and burned rubber out of the parking lot as though I was escaping Lord Wez in a post apocalyptic wasteland.
Great if "Furiosa" is a good movie, or a "worthy entry in the franchise." I don't care. That's not going to get me into the theater. Tell me that I'm going to want to jump into my Yaris 1a and peel out of the parking lot.
The Seattle papers said something to the effect of "you have never seen anything like this. Trust me." (77 VW Golf)
5'7" 120 lbs, there isn't enough suspension of disbelief to make up for a twig in an action movie.
Precisely. Women will be sex slaves and worse in an apocalypse like this.
thats such a dumb criticism like yea shes a woman okay buddy but if you actually saw the movie you would know she had basically been training inadvertently since she was a child and even gets formal training from a guy thats essentially Chad Max who actually has his shizz together, also its not like she ever actually bests anyone on sheer strength and mass thats totally moronic.
shes almost exclusively involved in scraps and gunfights most of which are on the road, won by the skin of her teeth through cunning dexterity and a cool head under pressure because she obviously had been taught those would be her advantages in a harsh world from a very young age not to mention her childhood kidnapping and horrific resulting trauma fueling her drive hatred and desire for revenge. besides, if you had seen the movie you would know that while she is quite capable for the most part she still takes a lot of losses which just makes it all the more satisfying when she finally has her prey cornered having come back through hell and sheer torment and finally gets her revenge.
i remember once i was like four or five and there was some movie where a girl beat up a boy and it just made me feel insecure and mad for some reason and i hit a teddy bear or something idk but basically what i remember taking from that memory is sort of just that its a bit silly to react that way to something in movies or whatever cause honestly its no more impossible than most of the other stuff in this thing and its actually a really good movie. you should go see it. max shows up for a sec.
@@yeahey5947 just stop typing dude.
@@yeahey5947there's plenty of women who make believable action heros. Not her, but there's plenty of them. She could definitely play a 10 year old though
Funny I just posted basically the same comment.
This movie looks too clean, the cast looks soft. There is not a sharp edge to be found. They can slurp their own slop. Hard pass for me.
Its mad max, replaced with mad karen.
Not thanks ill pass
Did you not like Furiosa in Fury Road?? This is the same character written and directed by the guy who made all the Mad Max movies. Have a little faith and see the movie before you make your judgement call.
@@JamesWalks-ft3be No.
Her name is Furiosa, and she is not mad Karen. She didn't replace Max Rockatansky. She is her own unique character.
It will be looked back on as an underrated classic. Box office numbers mean nothing.
Yet nobody talks about it because it was lukewarm conpared to fury road.
😂 no this isnt a classic this is slop
@@minekush1138 I think you've had too much kush
So Fury Road was actually a bait to eventually switch Max with Furiosa and somehow the audience sensed it! 😁
🎯
In the ensuing nine years I've seen only one young woman in Furiosa costume.
Wrong. There was no bait and switch. Go back and rewatch all the previous Mad Max movies. Max is a supporting character to some degree in all the Mad Max movies.
Almost a sense of cosmic irony. The first Mad Max was made on a budget of less than half a mil, but made millions! This took millions to make…
Loved Fury Road, but I'm beyond tired of girlboss characters so despite my love for George Miller's work I'm skipping this one.
The whole movie feels like it was trying to recreate what made Fury Road so special, but had none of the heart or talent put into it. A lot of bad camera work, the CGI and overlaying effects making it look too fake. Especially with the green screen. There is no excuse to not have good green screen in this day and age when it was being done competently in the late 90s.
Scenes drag on for too long. Nothing is shown that matches the grand scope and intensity of Fury Road, and that is its biggest problem.
I loved this movie
The thing about CG is that it should be used to fu things you can't do irl. If it is used too much then your eyes catch on that it is fake, but if it is used sparingly, you don't catch it as much.
I was with you until you said you like Chris Hemsworth. The dude was INSANELY unwatchable. Top to bottom.
Set sail on the High Seas for this one!
Things that went against this movie.
1. It came out too many years too late
2. It's a prequel which typically never do all that well financially
3. The marketing was pretty weak overall.
4. Furiosa does not have the same as Marquee value as Mad Max.
5. Chris Hemsworth nose prosthetic. (it was weird looking)
So we finally learned who killed the world, George Miller
Lololol.
I saw this movie on opening day and although it wasn't as gnarly as Fury Road, it was entertaining and it was interesting to know Furiosa's back story. I always wondered why she was in the Citadel, allowed to drive the rigs (wven though she was female) and how she lost her arm, and in that respect I was fulfilled. Even though I knew her ultimate fate, I found the movie quite interesting. Who cares how believable the fight scenes or whatever. Like come on seriously. ITS A FUCKING MOVIE. I enjoyed it 8/10.
Sigh. Seeing a movie does not cost $50 a person. It costs the price of a ticket. Loading up on popcorn is optional. And even if the ticket price is pushing $20, that's still way less than new release streaming rental rates, which are closer to $30. This argument has never made sense to me.
I simply don't want another girlboss
Everyone talking about 50$ per person to see a movie, my wife and I was furious for like 18$ total. Sneak the candy and drink in, not that hard. Who is paying for all that overpriced crap?
My favorite part of the movie is when the audience realized no one gave a fuck, gives two shits, or ever will give two shits and a fuck about Furiosa. EVER!
😂
Mad Max without Mad Max. The end of the Skywalker saga, without Luke Skywalker. Ghostbusters 2016 without the Ghostbusters. Dr Who without the Doctor (whoever is in it now is NOT the Doctor). The next Avengers film without the Avengers. Black Widow without Black Widow. Hawkeye without Hawkeye. I'm starting to see a pattern here.......
Dumb af Hollywood now thinks more is always better and is the reason we’re inundated with bloated, uneven messes time and time again. Bring back 90min movies if all you’re doing is adding padding just so you can hit an arbitrary 2hr+ runtime. I’ll wait to stream it.
I'm just sick of having people complain about Hollywood endless pushing agendas, having them promise they will stop, and just go right back to it. I'm sure this film is fine, but I'm fed up with Hollywood entirely. I don't care what they produce, if it's from Hollywood, I'm skipping it.
You guys are looking for any ridiculous excuses to not go see a great movie. Movie was well-done and exciting. Almost on par with Fury Road.
I wouldn't put it anywhere close to Fury Road, personally. Mostly because Fury Road is so far up there in quality that it's extremely difficult to reach that high. However, Furiosa was still really good, even with all the distracting CGI.
@@zombiedoodoo1295 you're right. Fury Road already sets the bar too high. I'm just disappointed that people are not even willing to give this one a chance even after all the good reviews. Furiosa as a standalone is a still great movie experience
I’m also on the belief that Furiosa is on par to Fury Road. The thing about Furiosa is that I didn’t feel feel too compelled about her as a character, because she pretty much had her own movie in the first one. From the jump of the movie’s announcement this made me question why the need for a standalone movie as I didn’t think it was needed. What I didn’t think I would need was the fact that the movie showed some of the best world building, lore, enviroment and mass scale of the mad max world that neither of the previous movies have ever done. People can harp about the action, lack of practical effects and length, but at the end it rewarded me with something I had always wanted from a mad max film.
Didn't know we needed an excuse to not go see a movie.
@@spiscHiPs you don't, but everybody is giving one
Great movie.
What was it? I heard at the end of one of the trailers "you stole my childhood " after that I was like nah. I don't think so...lol
How dare you!?
Honestly I forgot to watch it opening weekend and ended up watching it mid week. It’s a good movie, and it brings you back to that world, all the actors are solid and script is ok. You do notice the CGI, but it’s still a good watch. There was a part that I wish they had the budget and time to show. Fury Road though had an unmatched energy to it.
I bought 4 tickets for Fury Road. I won't be purchasing a single ticket for Furiosa.
You're making a mistake and sending a message to Hollywood that better written action films shouldn't be made. Did you dislike the Furiosa character in Fury Road? Have a little faith in George Miller. He's not out to insult the audience.
@@JamesWalks-ft3be Have faith in him for what? For being dumb?
@@detective2221 haha are you just finding all my comments and trying to troll them? Its just a movie if you hate it that much without seeing it maybe find a better hobby.
you didn't miss anything, it was a complete waste of time
@@JamesWalks-ft3be I am not trolling. I simply dislike the movie and don't like people shilling for it.
What worries me is that they'll take less risks in the future because of how poorly this performed. This movie was great and now we'll see less like it.
I just don’t care about this story. I don’t like prequels in general, and of this character… I just don’t need to see it. I also really don’t like ATJ, she’s a little rich brat that comes from a family who bought her way into Hollywood with blood money. She’s plays the same character in every film except The Witch.
you're really limiting yourself there pal I feel sorry for you!
I think she is a good actress. She is a bit one-note, I agree. But that's probably more due to the roles she picks rather than her lacking the acting chops.
Here, she shuts up most of the time and when she does speak, she sounds scarily similar to Charlize Theron (who played Furiosa in Fury Road). So she does a really good job here. I don't think you coming from a rich family makes you any less worthy to do a good job.
Facts
@@jesustyronechrist2330 she was fine in this, it's the script that's shitty. sorry, but Miller dropped the ball on this one.
@@legionman2441 Feel sorry for yourself.

They literally said "fuck the prequel comics" with this
People that say they don't want another movie with a female lead replacing a man in its own universe really expose themselves they don't understand the franchise and that this has absolutely no relation to your average girlboss movie we have been plagued for the past 2 years. But .. what can we do its sad the industry made it upon its self
What I don't get is everybody loved Furiosa in Fury Road but now say "we don't want to be pandered to with a girl-boss" Its the same character from the movie you loved! Why do you assume its gonna be bad!!!??
@@JamesWalks-ft3beFR was decidedly preachy and ushered in the trope that deflated its own prequel.
Just another husk of a franchise that could’ve had an honourable death a long time ago after the first few amazing movies. But due to lack of creativity and honesty and Hollywood its lumbering cgi zombie corpse has to be dragged out on stage for us to consume once again.
Smiling Friends season 2 tho
I was about 5 when Mad Max came out. They played them in schools as a documentary. We use them as a training manual for the army. I watch all 3 of the movies at least every six months, I occasionally watch that other one. I am not the worlds biggest fan but I am up there. I can watch movies for free, easily in my living room. I will still never watch this movie.
that fact fury road came out 8 years ago is crazy
Why did a sequel, prequel, reboot, offshoot movie featuring a disliked character and heavy cgi fail? Hmmmm what could be the cause? 😅
I dont remember anyone disliking or complaining about Furiosa in Fury Road.
