    TLDR “I liked this movie and everyone else are stupid dum dums for not falling over themselves about it.”

    The article continually acknowledges and then hand waves away the critiques of Furiosa.

    When people enjoy something I much prefer when they just stick to talking about the things they enjoyed about it, and have the confidence to allow readers to be won over. It is exhausting when someone is making an appeal that has the texture of a condemnation for not already agreeing.

    Wtf do you mean we failed furiosa? I don’t have time to see every fucking movie I wanna see. Do these people think everyone else doesn’t have jobs?

    Furiosa was fucking terrible lol. The weird and inconsistent CGI, Chris Hemsworth doing whatever kind of character that was, and the atrocious plot. It was bad. All of it.

      I think Fury road is the best movie ever. I grapple to understand why Furiosa isnt even half as good, and I blame the villain character. The mix of humor and serious could have worked, for some reason it didnt at all. When we compare, none other previous villain in the serie were even half a clown like this one.

      If you liked Fury Road you might want to reconsider watching Furiosa. While not as good and definitely too long it is still action packed and has some memorable scenes that I actually enjoyed. It’s not a bad movie imho, especially if you don’t expect it to be as great as the previous one.

          Yeah, you’re not missing anything by skipping Furiosa. The drop in quality is shocking. I say that as a huge Fury Road fan. I’m also a fan of Anya Taylor Joy, Hemsworth, and Tom Burke, who I knew previously and enjoy immensely on his show Strike.

          The writing, directing, art direction and visual effects are almost B-movie level quality compared to Fury Road. It’s like those direct to video Disney sequels to their feature hits. I was so so so disappointed. :(

      Those reviews were wrong, there is definitely action and cars in the movie including some damn impressive Maxless Madness

    I gotta be honest, I didn’t see it until it was out on 4K physical.

    It was fine, I remember liking it, but at this point months later, I couldn’t tell you what happened, what it was about, who was in it, or really any memorable scene at all.

    Other than “it was fine”, it made no impression at all.

      Same. I watched it when it came out on streaming. I liked it, but I can’t really remember it.

      Me too, nothing to impress in the long term memory like Fury Road. This film was a quick cash grab with mOdErN aUdIeNcE in mind.

    Furiosa is 5 years too late. People who cared about her, stopped caring about the character years ago. They give us enough of her backstory in Fury Road. For viewers to know her history. If they stop to connect the dots. So making this movie pointless. Furiosa failed itself.

      I agree they do give enough of her story in Fury Road but for this movie I wanted even more of her story and in my opinion it chose the wrong portions of her back story to focus on and basically made it a worse version of fury road.

    It’s a fun movie. Sure it may be a downgrade to fury road but that doesnt mean it’s not great. It’s a must watch 2024 movie in my opinion.

    Loved the movie, but they should’ve stuck with the yellow color grady they initially went for
