I saw a review that said the film looks a lot like Fury Road but has a distinct core. I haven’t seen the film … does this fit?
Yeah, I guess it looks like Fury Road a lot more than it feels like it. There are fewer vehicle combat scenes, and the movie covers a longer period of time
Less epic and focused than the original, it was still very exciting during action parts. It had some strange vfx tho
I haven’t seen fury road, but I liked this film a lot. The break up in parts and slower pacing was a great way to tell the story. I bought the ticket on a whim and I’m really happy I did.

My score: 9/10

You should definitely rectify that.
Imagine being told in the 80s that a Mad Max film was going to be such a cinematic triumph, that it was going to be nominated for ten Oscars, including Best Picture, and it would win six of them.
I would have told you to fuggedaboutit! Getouttahere! Ya nutjob.It’s been resolved! Just wish these films were longer so I could enjoy them for longer.
Saw it on IMAX, the action scenes were less exciting than fury road, probably because they were just a derivative of the scenes from Fury Road. The plot was thin, just a run of the mill revenge story. Wouldn’t recommend it unless you are a mad Max devotee.
Thought it was good, not great. Definitely not the “you had to be there” big screen experience that Fury Road was.

I was surprised that Anya Taylor-Joy didn’t even show up until an hour into the film.
Well I’m gladly eating crow. Other than some occasional weird CGI this movie was awesome. And I was down on Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth but both of them were awesome.
I’ve never gotten around to see Furiosa. It’s a bit weird 'cause I love the Mad Max movies. But the casting Anja and Chris kinda made me lose interest, eventhough I know them both to be fine actors.
I think maybe it’s because Hollywood has a tendency to shove their “darlings” into as much as possible when they peak. And I’ve probably just had my fill.
Same. If there was an unknown in the lead I would be stoked about it.
Well, yeah. It kinda means the series was about expanding the universe, not just cashing in on a current success film.
Mind you , I do think George Miller is still in that mindset… But I’m also kinda afraid he’s bowing down to some typical Hollywood shenanigans.
