  • We couldn't wait to talk about "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," so we have an early review for you. The prequel to George Miller's game-changing 2015 Oscar-winner "Mad Max: Fury Road" traces the origin story of Charlize Theron's Furiosa character. Here, she's played by a ferocious (and nearly wordless) Anya Taylor-Joy; Alyla Browne plays an even younger version of the character, who gets abducted by a marauding biker gang. One of us is more enthusiastic about this movie than the other, but we agree that the craft on display is spectacular. George Miller directs again, and he co-wrote the script with Nick Lathouris. Co-starring Chris Hemsworth, Lachy Hulme and Tom Burke. In theaters May 24.

    George Miller is too smart to just give you Fury Road pt 2. He delves much deeper into grief and vengeance in Furiosa. And as part of the Mad Max saga, i found it more satisfying than Fury Road, which is a two hour car chase adrenaline rush. And its still leagues better than any of the rehashed s**t we see from Hollywood there days

    So why does Alonso think this movie needed to be as good as Fury Road, or to meet those expectations to justify existing? Fury Road is regarded as one of the greatest action movies of all-time. No one should ever expect another movie to be what no one ever expected Fury Road to be before they saw that one.

      My brother does this, it's a defense mechanism against getting disappointed, and against feelings for something you like changing, so you proactively decide nothing can top the thing you like. Therefore you don't have to think critically about the new thing, except to find "reasons" to dismiss it, and you aren't disappointed (in fact you can feel superior to everyone) and you don't have to risk re-evaluating something you love and now have identity invested in. It's so effective, and so sad.

Not every movie director can be Peyton Reed when he's firing on all cylinders, directing 2% of a movie where the other 98% was done in previz by a formula to give us the most generic and lifeless movie we've ever seen. We need more critics defending corporate MCU and further encouraging the death of movies made by real people!

  • @musicmann1967
    @musicmann1967 15 дней назад

    This was a revenge flick, pure and simple. I realized that early on. Miller's not trying to do what he did in Fury Road, story wise. it's a revenge flick. A fantastic one, at that. It leaned into the action and revenge while giving lots of character work too. I think I got a bit confused with what exactly Dementus was doing with his double crosses and hostile take overs. "Wait, who is doing what to whom?" But I didn't worry about it and TOTALLY enjoyed the ride here. And you're right the transition from young Furiosa to older Furiosa was seamless. I actually found myself thinking "Wait, is that Anya now? Ah, YES!!" So well done, I'm not sure if I missed the actual point of transition. The action sequences were very well designed, and although they were very propulsive, the movie also took its time so the action sequences felt like a stories unto themselves. Brilliant stuff. Anyways, I really had a blast with this movie! (Bad Alonso!! Bad! Hahaha)

    @handle6324 16 дней назад +1

    Fury Road was the first Mad Max I saw. It was of course a great movie that I've since come to consider a masterpiece, but at the time thought, "Well clearly there's more to this story." I eventually did watch the first 3 movies but was somewhat surprised that there was basically no direct backstory. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing that "needed" to be filled, but I do think that there was a clear gap and escalation between Thunderdome and Fury Road that I think Furiosa is justified in helping to fill. I agree with Alonso that it is impossible to live up to Fury Road. I think that the idiosyncratic storytelling and creative choices was closer to something like Road Warrior, which to me helps me not compare it to Fury Road. I see Furiosa as trying to support Fury Road rather than compete with it, which it knows it cannot do, and I think it succeeds at making Fury Road even better and also succeeds at putting some glue in the overarching story of the Wasteland. I would definitely recommend telling someone watching these movies for the first time to watch Furiosa before the big orgasm of Fury Road, which is why I also very much disagree that the credits decision. Saying to someone "Watch 1-3, then Furiosa but not the end credits, then Fury Road" is a very awkward way to recommend a movie series.

  • @Regenmacher175
    @Regenmacher175 16 дней назад

    I enjoy this film for different reasons than Fury Road. I like the fact that we have a slower-paced character piece that is of an epic scale, looks great and features a lot of spectacular action setpieces. Back in the day, one of the criticisms expressed with regard to Fury Road was the fact that the film was essentially just one big chase scene there and back again and to an extent that's true. It's still excellent at being that but it does not get to devote a lot of time to the characters. Furiosa does devote a lot of time to the main character and on top of that the film makes the conscious choice to have her speak as little as possible...and yet I always knew what she was thinking and feeling because Anya Taylor-Joy is that good an actress. One of the most thrilling action dystopias I have had the joy of watching tbh.

If Miller wanted to jump back into this world again he should have done something very different or maybe add some depth or expansion on the lore. The Raid 2 did what I think Alonso wanted from Furiosa.

      Fury Road was a perfect sequel. It took the Mad Max world, but then introduced the war boys, immortan joe, furiosa, aaaand made it an absolute banger of a chase scene the whole movie. No other Mad Max movie does that.
      And although there were raiders and desert and Max in previous movies, that movie set up it's own lore for the new characters and explored a whole new corner of the world.
      It did something novel, it added new depths.
      I can see him being disappointed if this one covers the same ground in form and in world-building while also some bits taking a step down.
      It feeling more cgi is gonna be a big knock for me. The fact that everything felt so visceral and actually there is what sold it for me. The more cgi stuff is noticeably the less I'm invested in the action.

The story / world building is much more expansive than Mad Max (but yes still fundamentally simple), which I do appreciate.

    Just saw it and thought it was great. Couple things bugged me, including the snippets in the end credits - not necessary, and awkward I thought. There is a realization about Furiosa somewhere in the middle that she seriously tries to hide. If you've seen it, then you'll know which one I mean. When it's revealed, it should be a thing. Instead, only one character reacts, and it's totally passed over otherwise. I feel like Miller should have cut somewhere else and shown at least Immortan Joe's reaction - something. But these are small nits. overall, I loved it. Following Charlize Theron is not for the feint of heart. Anya Taylor Joy did it with expertise. Well done. Chris Hemsworth's Dementos - a wonderfully erratic, heartbroken, soulless, incompetent and yet formidable wanna-be. How many incompetent characters have we seen that are presented as buffoons? Not this one. He may not know what he's doing, but he has great cunning and brings about devastating destruction. I thought Dementos was well crafted. He reminded me a little of Wolf Larson in the Sea Wolf by Jack London.
    One more thing. The way Furiosa loses her arm seems like a reference or easter egg from the original Mad Max. Sorry I can't mention details without giving something away. Near the end of Mad Max.

    Hi why do you think this didn’t do well at the box office? From comments elsewhere: people are tired of girl boss movies, people wanted to see max in mad max, cinema tickets are too expensive… I am glad I went to see it at the imax, but unlike Dune I’m not planning multiple views.

    Hello guys, I saw it yesterday here in Spain in my local theater and I couldn't agree more with you , this is not FURY ROAD at all, it is a movie as far from Fury Road as possible. Taylor Joy is talented of course but there's little can do, she looks much more like a model than like FURIOSA. It was a big disappointment for me, it lacks so many things it could have been, too bad really. And a very uncharismatic love interest too. Thank you for another great review!!!

    Its rlly disappointing that Alonso didnt engage with it at all. I dont think he's seen Fury Road lately because this one is totally different. Spending every sentence comparing it to Fury Road and saying its more of the same instead of judging it on it's own craft is what I'd expect of a film bro review on letterboxd not a professional critic

  • @Jimmy25camaro
    @Jimmy25camaro 25 дней назад +4

    Too many reviews make the mistake of comparing it to fury road. It's not fury road, it's not trying to be fury road, it's a prequel movie. It's meant to be about the characters, not meant to be more dazzling than fury road. Even though it is a prequel it is meant to be watched and enjoyed as it's own movie, it's own animal. Also adding more new bs just to have "new stuff" doesn't make it a better movie. It's meant to go more in detail about Gaston and the bullet farm because we don't know the details on these places unless we watch furiosa. Basically if you go into the movie with the predisposition "let's see how this compares to fury road" easily you will be disappointed because its a completely different movie and completely different style of movie. He literally says it's an odyssey. Fury road takes places over like 2 or 3 days. Those are supposed to be a very eventful 2 or 3 days. Furiosas events are going to take place with longer spans of time in between

    Saw it Thurs. & then watched Fury Road again last night & I look way more fwd to being able to watch these back to back than I do Denis’ Dune & hope we get the Max Wastelands film for an epic marathon. Valid points for discussion & criticism aside it’s beyond me what universe in which this deserves a score of essentially ‘slightly better than average’ @ a 6 ?!? The craft alone puts it leaps and bounds beyond most of what gets shovelled out into theatres. If this is what qualifies as a 6, I’d say theatre owners & studios should just give up now, shut down the industry and find something better to do w/ their lives. Hopefully there’s a significant contingent that isn’t dissuaded by such a score & vehemently disagrees. Everyone is entitled to their opinion & entitled to be wrong. In my estimation Christy is infinitely more correct in this instance.
    As an aside, only having seen it late in its run, I also found Alonso’s review of Civil War baffling as it lacked any explanation sufficient enough for me to grasp the POV and so devoid of value. Having seen Marianna’s take over on Impression Blend I’m left to assume it’s along the lines of what was intended. To me it seemed crystal clear where it needed to be and avoided spelling things out where it would alienate those who most needed to receive the message. 🤷‍♂️

    Fury Road was a perfect sequel. It took the Mad Max world, but then introduced the war boys, immortan joe, furiosa, aaaand made it an absolute banger of a chase scene the whole movie. No other Mad Max movie does what it does.
    And although there were raiders and desert and Max in previous movies, that movie set up it's own lore for the new characters and explored a whole new corner of the world.
    It did something novel, it added new depths.
    I can see Alonzo being disappointed if this one covers the same ground in form and in world-building while also some bits take a step down.
    It feeling more cgi is gonna be a big knock for me. The fact that everything felt so visceral and actually there is what sold it for me. The more cgi stuff is noticeably the less I'm invested in the action.
    I honestly felt a bit similarly in the second Dune movie. The first Villeneuve Dune movie hit it out of the park with the world building, visual styling and pacing and wowed me. The second one... I was left wanting for something more, it covered too much of the same territory, being with the desert folks was cool, but was a bit repetitive without giving more engaging depth to their culture or struggle. I felt like I knew it all and was just waiting for it to play out.
    Direct sequels & prequels are hard.
    And I'd recommend more do what Fury Road did based on Mad Max 1-3, then what Furiosa is doing in relation to Fury Road.

    I don’t get everyone comparing this to Fury Road like why praise those Fast and Furious/Mission Impossible movies and then hold this movie to an impossible standard I’ve seen critics say things about this movie like why make citizen kane two? Like as much as art is nice to be preserved this is still a very artful blockbuster that goes against hollywood rules of filmmaking. Not saying its above criticism but if Fury Road never existed people would probably react the same way to this. This franchise deserves to do gangbusters and I hope it can keep its legacy going when the super populr franchises like Star Wars, DC and Marvel are struggling to realise anything of even a solid cinematic standard at the moment

    I'm a little bit tired of film critics frowning on CGI. "This time they took the easy way!" Yeah. Because as we all know, CG does not require people with hard-earned skills at all, it's the computer that does everything. There are no impossible deadlines, no burnout epidemic, and nobody ever leaves the CG artists out of the credits, because CG? Meh!
    CG artists are highly skilled professionals, who work day-and-night to fulfil the audience's extreme expectations, and all they get is "oh, the easy way". Show some respect, reviewers. This craft is as honest as yours.
