I dunno, after watching it (Fury Road) I thought it was... not bad, not great, probably not even all the way to good.

I can't imagine too many 10-12 year old boys are running around pretending to be furiosa.

Once you get hair on your balls you tend to drop most forms of hero worship anyway. I think you're the one that probably needs some TRT if you're excited by a 90lb chick beating full grown men to death with her calisthenics.

We were referring to Fury Road.

Decent enough flick. Actors all did great. Young Furiosa and ATJ Furiosa had their faces blended together at first. An interesting approach.

Couple big things. World building sucked. It is a wasteland? Too bright and cheery for that. Strange backdrop to all the violence going on. Also, music blew. I don't know why they didn't iterate on the first movie in both departments. Script could have been tightened up. Deleting every other frame in CGI made it look weird, like a stop action of a little kid playing with toy cars.

They could have spent more story on how Furiosa became a badass instead of wasting time on backstory. She got promoted from scrub to praetorian in like 20 seconds. Why? The little RC motor on her cyborg arm is a good example of this. Little weenie thing when it should have been a chainsaw motor.

Impossible to live up to Fury Road, but a decent enough effort.

Thought this was good enough as well. Not as good as Fury Road obviously but I was entertained the whole time. Gave me what I wanted from a Mad Max type movie. Cool cars, lots of action, creative concepts. The CGI was definitely bad though. Hemsworth did his best Tom Hardy impression with that accent.

Same. Mad Max girl boss did nothing for me. Certainly didn't make me care about her prequel.
If you watched Fury Road and thought "'it's just a girl boss movie" I humbly think you missed the point about how Miller depicted his Wasteland and how human life is worthless and war ressources (and the scarcity of it) run everything.

Wife and I went through all five movies in the past month, watched Furiosa last night. Fucking hell it was bad. The entire thing had ridiculously bad CGI. The super sniper ninja badass at everything was eye roll. So much of it felt like a fan watched Fury Road then made a low budget try-hard fan film.

Some cringe writing and scenes. “Right there is the fifth angel of the apocalypse” lmao. The dude immediately getting a deep super specific meaning of her after seeing her for all of 20 seconds in the middle of a battle. “Idk where you’re headed blah blah but I’ll do whatever I can to get you there”. And he drives half a mile away, stops the rig, and walks all the way back to her to deliver this message, what?

There was some interesting shit like seeing gas town and bullet farm and the interactions between them but everything else was so covered in awful looking CGI and try hard neither of us could do anything beyond laughing and making fun of how shit everything looked. This is the only one of the five I will never watch more than once.

Echoing that. Felt OK pace wise-- but the scenes didn't have the same pop and bang as the previous movies. First hour went by and I was ready for more, but seems I had already seen the best in that first 1.5h.

CGI escalates in badness, becoming downright terrible at times, to the point of distracting as mentioned above. Must be atrocious in 4k.

Deserved to bomb in theaters.

Watched part of it last night too. Didn't see last 40 mins. Balls empty though, so there's that.

Figured I would link this. I know I had mentioned it when the discussion about the new movie was coming out and just all of George Miller's cinemagraphic background.



Just always enjoyed Oliver Harper's retrospectives. He's acktually got a lot of really good documentaries out there too.

This movie was trash the CGI was super distracting and young furiosa just getting away and then no one caring was shit writing. The uber sniper scenes etc. I don’t even care to write more on what was wrong, best part was post credits when they showed fury road clips.

Garbage.

I don't understand why they have to turn all these women into super saiyan girl boss ninjas.

In the mad max original trilogy there was none of that. Max regularly got beat up, left for dead, outsmarted by the little kid on the gyrocopter.

These girls are doing jumping quick scope kills like they are using counterstrike aimbot hacks.

Utter garbage.

Yeah thats the actual reason girlboss stories are boring.

Men have to suffer and go through character development on their heroes journey. Girlbosses are just girlbosses from day 1 and they stomp every obstacle with ease because Girl Power.

In theory they could make an actual girlboss story work but thatd require that she was wrong and or failed at some point, and that would be misogyny, so Girl Power instead.
