May watch it when it makes it to streaming.

Got tired of the repetitive commercials for the movie. Hearing Helmsworth saying “Do you have it in you to make it epic?” over and over actually turned me off.

It's a great looking modern action movie but come on, Road Warrior is the best of the series.

Apparently it is not a bad film but independent of the business side.

It's a girl boss film that doesn't have a girl boss, but the audience who has been girl bossed to death assumes it's a girl boss movie and avoids it. I'm still going to get it on disc, but if this was going to happen, it should have been 5 or 6 years ago.

Until it was pointed out in this vid, I didn't realize that Fury Road came out in 2015. I kept thinking it was 2018 or 19 so you could blame COVID for the film delay.

The momentum is ours. If everyone would just stop paying to be force-fed this shit, Hollywood could be finished off that much faster.

one of those rare occassions where the first and second movie are both good,

Fury Road was Shiney and Chrome,, and good, but the originals still rule

The Road Warrior is by far the best of the series. Not only is the plot better, but it has had an enormous influence on pop culture. The cinematography, set design, costumes, modded vehicles, and action sequences had never been done quite like that before. It was also the first movie that gave viewers a close up view of a violent and savage dystopian future.

My wife and I saw Furiosa. We both enjoyed it. Not as much as Fury Road. As for her being a girl boss, she absolutely was established as one in Mad Max: Fury Road. This is how she got to be a supreme boss. Was it over the top and go on too long? Absolutely. But it was entertaining and Cris Hemsworth and Anya T-J did quite very well.

The whole idea of a Mad Movie with no Mad Max is just dumb. He was barely a peripheral character in Fury Road and is not even in this one, right?

That version of Max was not peripheral in Fury Road and yes, he's not in this one, except maybe super-briefly as an easter egg/homage. Not sure. As to being a dumb idea for a movie, I disagree.

1) Mad Max
2) Road Warrior
3) Fury Road

4) Beyond Thunderdome

?) Furiosa (unknown, but I expect it to fall above Thunderdome)

This is only my opinion, but I know a few others that share in my ranking so far.




I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself.

Yup, that's about right

To me, it isn’t about if Furiosa is a good movie. It is about if it is a good Mad Max movie. If you market it as a Mad Max saga, and I sit through it waiting for Mad Max to show up, I’m going to be disappointed with the movie when he doesn’t, no matter how good the rest of it might be.

I watched this with my wife last night. She said "this claymation or whatever they used is terrible" and "I can't believe you are actually sitting through this". This movie is awful.

Finally watched it yesterday. Thought it was kind of meh. Glad I didn’t spend money to see it in a theater.

Is the speed / frame rate off in the movie or just in all the clips in that video?

(not that it matters, not going to watch it)

Watched The Book of Eli and thought the same, a movie set in a dystopian future after total annihilation of the world, well almost, you need survivors, who can't read, speak, dress in odd clothing, with some kind of good vs evil quest for a grail be it the bible or fuel.
