Same, watch it the other day and thought it was good aside from the very beginning where it shows Furiosa's mother to be a one man army.
I think the whole problem was the whole calling it a madmax movie with zero madmax in it. Which is why they included that pointless fury road montage in the credits. Probably realized they fucked up with the framing of the whole movie and panicked.

Except she didn't actually show anything in that film. Unless you consider her butt a nude reveal.

Finally got around to watching this. Not terrible, but not as good as the better Mad Max movies. I thought the trailers were all kind of cartoony and that definitely played out in the movie, but you get a lot of the aesthetic shit you always get with these movies and that was pretty cool.

I believe so.
I honestly didn't think it was that woke. It's a fun movie, other than some goofy CGI, but it's night and day compared to a lot of crap that we get now. Still all the other films in the group are better. I'll probably watch it again at some point. I just like the aesthetics of the world and it's cool seeing the different vehicles and costumes and all of that. Pretty creative stuff from a production design standpoint.

You could call every single movie in the last 10 years woke and be more right than wrong

i like Anya Taylor Joy but she's not believable as furiosa at all. She's good as teenage Furiosa but not any older.
Large stretches of the movie are pretty boring. The parts that SHOULD be really good, like the "100 day war", are just done as voiceover and its such a BIZARRE choice.
similarly, I like Chris Hemsworth and his character but his parts are in a different movie. Fury Road was singular and heartstopping the whole way, any humor was minor. Here the movie constantly stops for some jokes or silly bits and never rebuilds momentum. Thats the biggest issue, its pacing is awful.
A lot of the CGI is mediocre. Its better than the shit we get in Marvel but its nowhere near as good action sets as John Wick or Fury Road.
ultimately the question really failed to answer "what is the story we are telling?" There really isn't one, other than how Furiosa lost her arm or grew up learning how to be an Imperator and those aren't answered in interesting ways.
Its a miss and a swing, I don't think its fair to hate the movie, you never really know what you are going to get when you start big projects like this. The unfortunate thing is George Miller is 79, this movie bombed and so it probably means its over for the franchise until he dies.

I mean I guess it depends on what you want to call woke. It had a lot of silly as fuck girl boss moments that's for sure. I don't recall Max ever having Marvel level superpowers like the women in this movie do. So it's definitely a departure from the originals. I guess if you want to call it a girl mad max/hawkeye mary sue shit fest that would be more accurate than "woke".
