You can get the browser I use, Opera, for free here: opr.as/07-Opera-browser-filmento I'll be covering a TV show next weekend. Not a very good TV show.
Would you cover Arcane series? Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn are my favourite female characters in this show. And considering that this year comes second and final season, would you take a chance to cover Jinx’s tragedy, Vi’s redemption and Caitlyn’s forgiveness in one or several videos?
The Octoboss is probably my favorite character in the movie. He’s got an awesome design, he truly cares about the people under his command and his flying squad are so badass
their gang are initially called "mortifiers" as in scourging of the flesh, meaning torturers.. then later they are called "mortiflyers" when they have gone rogue and do all the flying. its a real nice touch.
It’s such a shame that Furiosa failed financially. It’s a rare case when the “unnecessary prequel” is actually good and it deserved better. Also, will you ever cover Godzilla Minus One? It features a lot of the advice you’ve given in the past on how to make a great monster movie and would be a perfect fit for your channel.
@@DrMario_666 It’s the 3rd highest-grossing foreign film in US history and a large majority of people who've seen it have loved it. Edit: I'm actually talking about Godzilla Minus One here, and I'm just now realizing that you were probably referring to Furiosa. Oopsie. But just so you know, a movie's quality isn't solely determined by the number of people who watch it.
I think low expectations both got this movie praise and also made it fail. Not many were really interested in a Furiosa movie so it failed to draw a large crowd. Others went in with low expectations. I was among the latter, and from the trailers my main issue had been the fact that a lot of the action looked overly green-screened and seemed to use excessive VFX that didn't look realistic. But that wasn't the case in the actual movie. I mean, it still had a lot more moments than Fury Road that weren't as well done, but they were far fewer than the trailers had suggested. And it's a good thing, too, because story wise it didn't really do anything captivating.
I was one of those people that thought "there is no need for a Furiosa prequel", but then I learned that the script was written at the same time as Fury Road and thats when I decided to give the movie a chance. I wish more people knew that information. I also never saw an ad or a trailer for it until it had been out for 3 weeks! I had to scramble and go to a bigger city to see it before it was out of theatures since my local one had stopped showing it the week before. I am so glad it was not a mary sure movie and was actually amazing! if I had to grade the movie, I would say solid A- film 93%. Fury Road is just hard to beat at 105%. If this had been released prepandemic, it would have crushed theatures.
its nice to read this, damn I spent so much time in Furiosa's trailer comments tryin to explain to people that this movie wasn't some Disney+ afterthought for an MCU timeline, but an actual passion project that George Miller has been workin on for years, crazy to think you could even find articles from 2016 already confirming the Furiosa movie, so i 100% agreed with ya, wish more people knew this info
@@Super-7327Speculation says that people saw a Mad Max movie where the protagonist is not Max, and he's not in the movie, it's a woman, they went "woke garbage" and didn't go to see the movie.
Watched this movie with my mom and she looks over at me and asks, "Is he riding a motorcycle chariot?" "Yes, mom. Yes, he is." The Mad Max universe is simply the best.
I've watched Furiosa a couple of times now and I have to say, I appreciated it a lot more the second time around. The world-building is superb. Definitely a classic, even if we don't know it yet.
I just watched Furiosa recently and I was blown away at how fun and interesting the big car chase was with all the aerial stuff going on. I also loved how over the top Dementus was. Just a fun Mad Max movie.
I cant compare the two movies, they are so different, one is character study of old epic style where we get chapters of more than a decade of a persons life, while the other only has to show a few days...
@@sadrootbeer what does that have to do with anything... loads of movie series have recurring characters while the themes, ideas and style of films are not the same... thats what i'm arguing... they are very different styles of films and have to accomplish very different things.
Fury Road isn’t a masterpiece. It’s a good-looking movie that’s entirely plot-driven while having such a terrible plot (they go somewhere only to turn right back around and go back home). Furiosa, on the other hand, is much more character-driven, but also has a great plot that runs into and improves Fury Road (title character is _shown_ being taken from her home and spends nearly two movies trying to get back, while also being shaped by her environment and the other characters in it). Furiosa is the better of the two movies and will likely be viewed as the masterpiece that it is one day down the road.
Furiosa didn't feel like a prequel, it felt like the part 1 to which Fury Road is part 2. They really wanted to tell this story, not just check a bunch of boxes like Solo: a Star Wars Story. You could easily do a whole other video comparing the two
Hell if fury road was ment to be the modern road warrior, furiosa was meant to be the modern original mad max that is a grim revenge film and how much the stoick main character has to deal with the griff that entire world is colpasing while they are folling the steaps from an exentric psychopath that took everything from them (toe cutter and dementus), despite not having that much action. And while both road warrior and fury road are spectacle films furiosa and mad max and furiosa are explotation films about dark cinema.
I'm glad you're making a positive video on Furiosa. I saw it in theaters, thought it was awesome, and I've been disappointed by the negativity surrounding it. It's a movie that deserves more praise than it's getting.

Rewatching Furiosa, it's amazing how much you can spot the Octoboss hoovering in the background ever since the Marauders reach Dementus's camp at the beginning.
I really love the worldbuilding and creativity in Furiosa, maybe even more than in Fury Road. They do such a good job of fleshing out the politics, economics, logistics, and power structure of the wasteland. There is also just a lot of thought put into the mechanics of wasteland road warfare. It's not just cars ramming into each other and people shooting each other or throwing bombs at each other. They develop special tactics and tools, and they use the terrain to their advantage. People use the sand dunes to break line of sight against shooters. They throw up dust to create cover. They tar the road to hide the movement of large groups. They adapt salvaged materials to build specialized machines for road war. They try to capture enemy vehicles when they can.
Furiosa was not the second coming of Fury Road, while that was what many were hoping for. Fury Road was a prectical masterwork in cinema, lightning in a bottle, nothing before or since. Furiosa was an excellent movie elevated by the director into one of the best movies made this half of the century... but it wasn't Fury Road, so nobody came to watch it. It's a 'Damned if you do, damned if you don't' conumdrum. Either lie to the audience in the promo material and promise another Fury Road in all of it's splendor, raking in the box office but losing the faith of your fans, guaranteeing your next project will fail... or do what they did and stay honest to what the movie was, gathering fervent fans but losing out on the short term box office.
@@gawkthimm6030 "A person is smart, people are idiots." -K, Men In Black. I might be paraphrasing a bit, though. I'm not disagreeing with you. The masses hoped for more of what Fury Road offered, probably believing that is what Mad max is all about not knowing about the franchise before it. It had been around 30 years between Thunderdome and Fury Road.
@@primeoetgrunn so it was bad marketing fault. easy fix, dont hype it up as such and show in the trailers what its really going to be like. but no Hollywood dosn't do that. If George Miller had come out in interviews and said; "this is my great epic Prequel story, a tragic tale, much more longer paced and nothing like fury road in pacing". then no problem with expectations...
Practical effects have a very raw look that may not be smooth but it really adds layers to the experience. Not knocking CGI where it can be used for safer working conditions but it should be used wisely.
I’ve started to notice I get bored and sleepy when I watch most action scenes in movies and only interested when they talk and has plot progression. Yet some how watching mad max I don’t, I didn’t know why that is until now. George miller knows how to tell a story and plot progression in his action. Thanks filmento. Now I’ll know when action keeps me awake, they are progressing the plot.
This movie is so, so good, it's so much fun, greatly expands on the MM universe and even introduce memorable new characters. I legit don't understand why it failed at the box office.
Yes. This movie was awesome. People failed cinema. Seriously. I went to see it at an IMAX. It was amazing. I think it is visually a better movie than Dune. Way less dramatic and more action filled but with way more use of every single pixel on the screen. I really hope there are more MAD MAX universe movies with Anya Taylor Joy.😍
ok there are actually a lot of comparisons between star-wars and mad max. the director is named George. this being a prequel with a longer and grander more political / world building focus instead of the narrower focused first star wars trilogy just around Luke.
Great video as always! Anyone else noticed that Dementus decisions were based on the color of his cape? White was calm ( as u can be in this universe 🤣) , Red he demmanded conflict and full darkside when he has gastown! I don't know if was intencional but i find It brillant
I was worried when it was said there'd be more CGI in that movie but In all honesty, the CGI in this movie feels so natural you often forget it's there
It's a damn shame this movie didn't do better, the marketing really didn't protray it well at all. I only saw it cause I was bored, it was completely different than what I expected.
The marketing was bad and prequels by this point have been seen as this poisonous cashgrab nonsense. Really didn't help they formatted the name the same as stuff like Solo: a Star Wars story.
The thing I personally liked about Furiosa was how much more of the mad max world you got to see. I mean of course the action is amazing but in fury road gastown and the bullet farm they are only mentioned. We only get a brief look at the citadel. With Furiosa we properly get to live in the lived in Mad Max world. we can't just keep running away from our problems because this is our home even if we don't like it. Our enemy always knows where to find us and we always know where to find them. I also love how it's brought the 2015 Mad Max game back into the spotlight.
I really liked the first action set of the movie, where the 50(I didn’t count obviously) people convoy were getting raided by the gang. You know what was happening. There was no close up shaky cams. You know where the characters are. You know what the equipments and weapons attached to the truck can do. And the way there are people dying left and right from each side until there were only two people left was so satisfying. The movie was great.
This is why I loved the action scene in deadpools opening, it had all these unnecessary switches and elements with added humour and while it didn't have much extras, it's memorable because it wasn't just deadpool looking for a villian it was him in dropping accurately between 5 guys and tearing the truck apart while getting rid of bikers outside of the truck and making fun the whole time, it was bloody and brutal and unapologetically crazy in a time when superhero movies were pg 13 What's crazy is it led us to believe the entire scene that whomever he is looking for is not present even after taking out a whole team of guys only to find that he did in fact find Francis and then lost him because the xmen distractions Which needed to happen because technically speaking if he didn't lose him, the movie couldve ended
My favorite action scene? The porch shootout near the end of "The Wild Bunch." Peckinpah had a gift, he wrung emotions out of the audience other than the usual "Yay, the good guys are immune" in the midst of the slaughter.
George Miller did not create furiosa as a Mary Sue I will give him that, she earns everything from a child to an adult so I did appreciate the character work on furiosa
One thing I loved about her character was her situational awareness to gain every advantage against stronger opponents. She never inexplicably went toe to toe with them and came out ahead. She'd use whatever she could find within reach as leverage. To put it in video game terms, she dumped all her points into perception and intelligence with a bit of the remainder going to luck and agility.
@@Dilligff now you got me wondering what Furiosa and Max's S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats would be, I reckon Max would be max Strength and Luck lol, both would be pretty low in the charisma department tho but you're spot on, whether you like or dislike the film, Furiosa was just not Mary Sue material, the quick jump to that conclusion from trailers/ads is pretty understandable with a lot of movies and social trends nowadays. But apparently for some people, Furiosa being small yet clever with tools/weapons is now the equivalent to going toe-to-toe with several macho-man sized goons, makes no sense to me
@@thisbubblygoodness7611i think playing the game max is surprisingly low in strength and agility but probably high in endurance, luck perception and average with charisma (but high luck works out?). he fails speech checks but often gets lucky in some of them he loses fights pretty often but can still be the last man standing good with a gun and spatial awareness furiosa is the same but with lower luck and higher agility
@@enishi4ty5 oooh yeah, spot on actually, Endurance would be Max's key stat, Strength would probably be more in line with Rictus or Lord Humungus, I wonder who'd have the highest Intelligence though? any character who'd have the most know-how with cars I think.
the biggest mistake action movies always make is trying to surprise you. the audience doesn't want someone off screen to save the hero at the last second and they don't want to watch a thousand shaky cuts that make a 60yo look like they can still fight. they want to know what is happening at all times. If you show who is going to swoop in at the last second to save the hero and why, then you make your over the top fight scene that much more believable and can get away with surviving more impossible situations.
Miller did it again! Its unfair to compare it with fury road: it has its in own heart for a movie, it is a perfect prequel for Furiosa's story, it expands (better even explains) all the lores of the fury road....Chris is on top of his game having a blast,Anya is stunning and i can confirm that it doesnt have shitty cgi that overwhelmed Millers love for practicall effects...A MUST SEE!!
I must have missed all the hate the movie got, pretty much anyone I know or watched said it was a great or at least decent movie and people are sad it was a flop.
I saw this movie in 4DX and woo....what a ride. It was great. But there were only 3 other people in the theater so it really is quite a shame so many people missed out on seeing such a crazy, sad, fun film on the big screen
I think its more than platonic, but not quite to the level of "hollywood-love" , this is the dystopian wasteland, how are we to say personal relationships havn't changed a lot about what people value, I think the trust is the most important part. Furiosa Trusts jack, that is what is in shown because that is whats important...
sucks many people didnt give this movie the time of day in theaters because it didnt have Max in it as the main character. I think the budget on this may have been a bit bloated but it deserved to succeed. I think this movie will get the appreciation it deserves overtime and hopefully recoup some of its losses in the process.
Its the age old story with Mad Max as a franchise: it doesn't get any recognition at its time of release but becomes a cult classic over time. So few people even saw the original Mad Max that when the sequel came out, they just called "Road Warrior" in some countries. Now I personally think Fury Road and Furiosa are probably the best entries in the franchise. Her story is far more compelling that Mad Max (who really is only "mad" for about 10 minutes of the first movie and there's one great chase sequence at the beginning, with the interceptors and Night Ranger) and Fury Road is essentially, Road Warrior but better. But I'm nearly 50 years old and recognise Mad Max as a thing because of the 80s movies. There's 30 years before Mad Max 3 and Fury Road! I would have thought that Fury Road would have been enough to kickstart Furiosa as a new franchise (and this film was really well done) but it wasn't. Cinema attendance is down overall and the only things people seem interested in going to see are second rate horror movies on date night, kids films and spectacle movies in IMAX (Dune 2).
It’s a tragedy if they truly decided to not let Miller make another Max. Furiosa is a masterpiece alongside Fury Road and both have their own strengths and being excellent complimentary pieces.
"Fury Road" is in a class of its own. But "Furiousa" was also a great action movie. Give one an "A+", the other an "A/A-". What is so sad is that neither was the blockbuster they deserved to be, with "Furiousa" being ignored, for some reason. I think a lot of guys (the main audience) were thinking they were going to get another generic, "strong female character" movie. Instead, as with Sarah Conner in both "Terminator" movies, or even Ripley in "Alien/Aliens", they were fully formed characters. And the female leads changed significantly from one movie to the next. As you noted, this was an earned journey to becoming a hero. When I went to see "Furiousa", I was literally the only person in the theater. Meanwhile, "Barbie" made over a billion dollars. And a great series comes to an undeserved end, while we can all expect a slew of toy related movies, and "Barbie 2". Ugh.
17:32 "I haven't seen Fury Road in a while (...)" Only one thing to say: MEDIOCRE !!! 17:47 "You just have to see it for yourself" And to hear it as well, the music was also better in Fury Road in my opinion. I'm glad you're talking about the opening chase in Furiosa, I also think it was very good and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. If the action was great, overall I was disappointed by this movie. Since Furiosa was looking for "redemption" in Fury Road, I think her own movie needed an anti-heroine, and not just a "simple" revenge story.
Furiosa was great, but comparing it to Fury Road is almost unfair because it is literally the greatest action movie ever made. Furiosa is still great though, 100% worth the watch. My favourite parts about it are things like the story being more of a central point, because it has really fleshed out the world, something that is a bit hard if your movie is just one long car chase over only a few days. I honestly want to see much more, so it is a bit sad that its underperformance means another mad max film might not happen, but mad max was brought back once, and it can be brought back again.
I love this movie and, while watching it in a theater, found myself increasingly angry that it didn’t do very well at the box office. This movie deserved so much better than it got, and literally every single argument I’ve heard about why this movie is apparently supposed to be a bad movie amounts to total bullshit.
Like a lot of people I'm disappointed that this flopped meanwhile I'm sure Fast and the Furious 25 will still break bank and Disney execs will learn the wrong lesson and think they just need to make everything even blander. Some movies do get their flowers after they flop and I hope this one becomes one of them. The energy just hit in the same way as the original Mad Max Saga in a way that I can't explain.
I think a great rule of thumb is to always keep questioning why your characters are doing what they are doing and to keep conflict by showing (never telling) what will happen if they fail now, about how to surprise the audience by following the rules of your story, I guess misdirection?
Furiosa was good. The action and drive of Fury Road is still unmatched, but Hemsworth killed it as Dementus. They're still great companion films, and it's a shame we won't see The Wasteland. I wish a billionaire film fan would just fund it.
I never understood Chris Hemsworth standout performance people were saying until my third watch watching this incredible movie it was like seeing the joker from dark night I just wanted more scenes from him wow
Great action. Good cinematography. I think it's the prequilitus that held it back. KNOWING that Furiosa would end up working for Immortan Joe by the end undercut a lot of investment in her escape attempts, for me. Also, with any prequel or sequel, seeing the world a second time isn't going to be as fresh as seeing it the first time. Furiosa could have expanded the Mad Max world and shown us a lot of cool new stuff, but it mostly showed us stuff we already inferred existed (Gas Town, Bullet Farm, etc) and didn't necessarily inspire any more than what our imaginations already filled the gaps with.
@brian_of_farce same, max or no max. I mean I like max as a protagonist but I don't think he's what is carrying the franchise. The mad max world is simply that awesome.
@@Wie_Is_Deze_Gast the world? lmao, a desert with nothing in it is good worldbuilding to you? i understand what u mean tho, i do like to Immortan joe and other CONSEPTS but, the point is not about putting mad max, is about blatantly gender/race swap the industry been doing for no reason more than "we need wemen in stem", if u don't understand that then u know nothing about the industry, but to clarify is not about having or not having mad max. And mad max is not a universe, is a character, im answering to the other brain dead comment.

They tar the road to hide the movement of large groups. They adapt salvaged materials to build specialized machines for road war. They try to capture enemy vehicles when they can.
Furiosa was not the second coming of Fury Road, while that was what many were hoping for. Fury Road was a prectical masterwork in cinema, lightning in a bottle, nothing before or since.
Furiosa was an excellent movie elevated by the director into one of the best movies made this half of the century... but it wasn't Fury Road, so nobody came to watch it.
It's a 'Damned if you do, damned if you don't' conumdrum.
Either lie to the audience in the promo material and promise another Fury Road in all of it's splendor, raking in the box office but losing the faith of your fans, guaranteeing your next project will fail... or do what they did and stay honest to what the movie was, gathering fervent fans but losing out on the short term box office.
Furiosa tells years of story while Fury road only has to show a few days, they are so different films only idiots compare them...
@@gawkthimm6030 "A person is smart, people are idiots." -K, Men In Black.
I might be paraphrasing a bit, though.
I'm not disagreeing with you. The masses hoped for more of what Fury Road offered, probably believing that is what Mad max is all about not knowing about the franchise before it. It had been around 30 years between Thunderdome and Fury Road.
@@primeoetgrunn so it was bad marketing fault. easy fix, dont hype it up as such and show in the trailers what its really going to be like. but no Hollywood dosn't do that.
If George Miller had come out in interviews and said; "this is my great epic Prequel story, a tragic tale, much more longer paced and nothing like fury road in pacing". then no problem with expectations...
@@primeoetgrunn if a great movie fails its almost always marketings fault...
Practical effects have a very raw look that may not be smooth but it really adds layers to the experience. Not knocking CGI where it can be used for safer working conditions but it should be used wisely.
They feel real
I’ve started to notice I get bored and sleepy when I watch most action scenes in movies and only interested when they talk and has plot progression. Yet some how watching mad max I don’t, I didn’t know why that is until now. George miller knows how to tell a story and plot progression in his action. Thanks filmento. Now I’ll know when action keeps me awake, they are progressing the plot.
7:09 bro that warboy is certainly awaited. that has to be one of the best warboy deaths ever, second only to Nux's probably.
I Love this movie.
Finally something good from Hollywood.
This movie is so, so good, it's so much fun, greatly expands on the MM universe and even introduce memorable new characters. I legit don't understand why it failed at the box office.
2:30 Thank you, Filmento, for giving me something to come for
Yes. This movie was awesome. People failed cinema. Seriously. I went to see it at an IMAX. It was amazing. I think it is visually a better movie than Dune. Way less dramatic and more action filled but with way more use of every single pixel on the screen. I really hope there are more MAD MAX universe movies with Anya Taylor Joy.😍
😐.......bruh!
Fantastic work, I'd love to see another video on Furiosa in the future
What a coincidence, I just finished this movie and Filmento released the video.
Me too 🫂
Glad someone is praising this film. I liked it.
Furiosa is more of a Skywalker than Rey in so much that she actually lost a hand.
Lmfao random as fuck but so true
ok there are actually a lot of comparisons between star-wars and mad max. the director is named George. this being a prequel with a longer and grander more political / world building focus instead of the narrower focused first star wars trilogy just around Luke.
@@gawkthimm6030 I see as it more of a fallout in Australia thing lol
@@thataintfalco7106 wtf. thats just not right. Mad max isn't remotely the same...
He didn’t say it was same. All he did was draw similarities
Great video as always! Anyone else noticed that Dementus decisions were based on the color of his cape? White was calm ( as u can be in this universe 🤣) , Red he demmanded conflict and full darkside when he has gastown! I don't know if was intencional but i find It brillant
I was worried when it was said there'd be more CGI in that movie but In all honesty, the CGI in this movie feels so natural you often forget it's there
It's a damn shame this movie didn't do better, the marketing really didn't protray it well at all.
I only saw it cause I was bored, it was completely different than what I expected.
The marketing was bad and prequels by this point have been seen as this poisonous cashgrab nonsense. Really didn't help they formatted the name the same as stuff like Solo: a Star Wars story.
The thing I personally liked about Furiosa was how much more of the mad max world you got to see. I mean of course the action is amazing but in fury road gastown and the bullet farm they are only mentioned. We only get a brief look at the citadel. With Furiosa we properly get to live in the lived in Mad Max world. we can't just keep running away from our problems because this is our home even if we don't like it. Our enemy always knows where to find us and we always know where to find them. I also love how it's brought the 2015 Mad Max game back into the spotlight.
I really liked the first action set of the movie, where the 50(I didn’t count obviously) people convoy were getting raided by the gang. You know what was happening. There was no close up shaky cams. You know where the characters are. You know what the equipments and weapons attached to the truck can do. And the way there are people dying left and right from each side until there were only two people left was so satisfying. The movie was great.
This is why I loved the action scene in deadpools opening, it had all these unnecessary switches and elements with added humour and while it didn't have much extras, it's memorable because it wasn't just deadpool looking for a villian it was him in dropping accurately between 5 guys and tearing the truck apart while getting rid of bikers outside of the truck and making fun the whole time, it was bloody and brutal and unapologetically crazy in a time when superhero movies were pg 13
What's crazy is it led us to believe the entire scene that whomever he is looking for is not present even after taking out a whole team of guys only to find that he did in fact find Francis and then lost him because the xmen distractions
Which needed to happen because technically speaking if he didn't lose him, the movie couldve ended
My favorite action scene? The porch shootout near the end of "The Wild Bunch." Peckinpah had a gift, he wrung emotions out of the audience other than the usual "Yay, the good guys are immune" in the midst of the slaughter.
Man this movie was epic and the Fury road is glorious
George Miller did not create furiosa as a Mary Sue I will give him that, she earns everything from a child to an adult so I did appreciate the character work on furiosa
One thing I loved about her character was her situational awareness to gain every advantage against stronger opponents. She never inexplicably went toe to toe with them and came out ahead. She'd use whatever she could find within reach as leverage. To put it in video game terms, she dumped all her points into perception and intelligence with a bit of the remainder going to luck and agility.
@@Dilligff now you got me wondering what Furiosa and Max's S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats would be, I reckon Max would be max Strength and Luck lol, both would be pretty low in the charisma department tho
but you're spot on, whether you like or dislike the film, Furiosa was just not Mary Sue material, the quick jump to that conclusion from trailers/ads is pretty understandable with a lot of movies and social trends nowadays. But apparently for some people, Furiosa being small yet clever with tools/weapons is now the equivalent to going toe-to-toe with several macho-man sized goons, makes no sense to me
@@thisbubblygoodness7611i think playing the game max is surprisingly low in strength and agility but probably high in endurance, luck perception and average with charisma (but high luck works out?).
he fails speech checks but often gets lucky in some of them
he loses fights pretty often but can still be the last man standing
good with a gun and spatial awareness
furiosa is the same but with lower luck and higher agility
@@enishi4ty5 oooh yeah, spot on actually, Endurance would be Max's key stat, Strength would probably be more in line with Rictus or Lord Humungus, I wonder who'd have the highest Intelligence though? any character who'd have the most know-how with cars I think.
@@thisbubblygoodness7611 yep praetorian jack and immortus i think would be high intelligence if anything 🤣
Another awesome title
Great job Filmento
the quality of insight combined with the entertaining style of delivery. expert work.
This movie is a gift.
Thank you, George Miller.
Despite the insanity at WB, writting off projects for taxes.. its a miracle we got this.
the biggest mistake action movies always make is trying to surprise you.
the audience doesn't want someone off screen to save the hero at the last second and they don't want to watch a thousand shaky cuts that make a 60yo look like they can still fight. they want to know what is happening at all times. If you show who is going to swoop in at the last second to save the hero and why, then you make your over the top fight scene that much more believable and can get away with surviving more impossible situations.
Miller did it again! Its unfair to compare it with fury road: it has its in own heart for a movie, it is a perfect prequel for Furiosa's story, it expands (better even explains) all the lores of the fury road....Chris is on top of his game having a blast,Anya is stunning and i can confirm that it doesnt have shitty cgi that overwhelmed Millers love for practicall effects...A MUST SEE!!
I'm convined people blaming the Bullet Farm action sequence for overrelying on CGI just have no empathy or understanding of human bonds and connection
Sequence of the year? This one alone elevated the entire movie!
I'll never understand the hate this movie got, it was a mind blowing movie with an amazing history and narrative
I must have missed all the hate the movie got, pretty much anyone I know or watched said it was a great or at least decent movie and people are sad it was a flop.
I throughly enjoyed this one and fury road. I didn't even pirate it this time.
For what it was, it was a great movie. For what a woman did in the video, they made it right unlike Star Wars
Rey is a textbook example of what NOT to do when writing a character.
No, they didn’t. It’s the exact same garbage.
I saw this movie in 4DX and woo....what a ride. It was great. But there were only 3 other people in the theater so it really is quite a shame so many people missed out on seeing such a crazy, sad, fun film on the big screen
I didnt get any romance between Furiosa and Jack, the age gap seemed large and I kept going " this is platonic, right?" Maybe its just me
I think its more than platonic, but not quite to the level of "hollywood-love" , this is the dystopian wasteland, how are we to say personal relationships havn't changed a lot about what people value, I think the trust is the most important part. Furiosa Trusts jack, that is what is in shown because that is whats important...
sucks many people didnt give this movie the time of day in theaters because it didnt have Max in it as the main character. I think the budget on this may have been a bit bloated but it deserved to succeed. I think this movie will get the appreciation it deserves overtime and hopefully recoup some of its losses in the process.
Such an awesome time at the theater! So much adrenaline pumping, I'm so sad I only got to watch it once on IMAX
Anya Taylor-Joy and Tom Burke did fantastic job in this film esp. Chris Hemsworth as Dementus; he is a very fun villain.
Furiosa deserved better. I am glad I got to see it 4 times in theaters
This film is so underrated
Its the age old story with Mad Max as a franchise: it doesn't get any recognition at its time of release but becomes a cult classic over time. So few people even saw the original Mad Max that when the sequel came out, they just called "Road Warrior" in some countries.
Now I personally think Fury Road and Furiosa are probably the best entries in the franchise. Her story is far more compelling that Mad Max (who really is only "mad" for about 10 minutes of the first movie and there's one great chase sequence at the beginning, with the interceptors and Night Ranger) and Fury Road is essentially, Road Warrior but better. But I'm nearly 50 years old and recognise Mad Max as a thing because of the 80s movies. There's 30 years before Mad Max 3 and Fury Road!
I would have thought that Fury Road would have been enough to kickstart Furiosa as a new franchise (and this film was really well done) but it wasn't.
Cinema attendance is down overall and the only things people seem interested in going to see are second rate horror movies on date night, kids films and spectacle movies in IMAX (Dune 2).
6:35
And also, when she was kidnapped, it was show that she already had some training and wits as a child.
Sad, no one else movies like this and it's a damn shame. Would love more ❤
How many copyrightstrikes have to happen before we get to see Dark Filmento?
The storm scene from Fury Road is still one of the baddest action scenes ever 🙌
It’s a tragedy if they truly decided to not let Miller make another Max. Furiosa is a masterpiece alongside Fury Road and both have their own strengths and being excellent complimentary pieces.
The imax experience for this movie was sth else
Did you know that in order to portray Dementous as crazy as he can, Chris Hemsworth watched all Filmentous videos on YT.
"Fury Road" is in a class of its own. But "Furiousa" was also a great action movie. Give one an "A+", the other an "A/A-". What is so sad is that neither was the blockbuster they deserved to be, with "Furiousa" being ignored, for some reason. I think a lot of guys (the main audience) were thinking they were going to get another generic, "strong female character" movie. Instead, as with Sarah Conner in both "Terminator" movies, or even Ripley in "Alien/Aliens", they were fully formed characters. And the female leads changed significantly from one movie to the next. As you noted, this was an earned journey to becoming a hero. When I went to see "Furiousa", I was literally the only person in the theater. Meanwhile, "Barbie" made over a billion dollars. And a great series comes to an undeserved end, while we can all expect a slew of toy related movies, and "Barbie 2". Ugh.
When I saw the biker gang chase with all the added extras in the cinema I knew it would make Filmento proud
I wasn't interested on this movie because. As you said, it felt like an unnecessary prequel, until I saw a review. Worth watching on a big screen.
I appreciate how you incorporated some of the elements of Furiosa's dialogue into your video essay. I'd hate for you to be Demented Filmento.
17:32 "I haven't seen Fury Road in a while (...)" Only one thing to say: MEDIOCRE !!!
17:47 "You just have to see it for yourself" And to hear it as well, the music was also better in Fury Road in my opinion.
I'm glad you're talking about the opening chase in Furiosa, I also think it was very good and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
If the action was great, overall I was disappointed by this movie. Since Furiosa was looking for "redemption" in Fury Road, I think her own movie needed an anti-heroine, and not just a "simple" revenge story.
Good action sequences in the movie
I was worried for a second that Filmento would end the video saying that Furiosa had better action but I'm glad we agree.
thanks mate! i didnt consider watching this. But you opened my eyes!
Furiosa was great, but comparing it to Fury Road is almost unfair because it is literally the greatest action movie ever made. Furiosa is still great though, 100% worth the watch. My favourite parts about it are things like the story being more of a central point, because it has really fleshed out the world, something that is a bit hard if your movie is just one long car chase over only a few days. I honestly want to see much more, so it is a bit sad that its underperformance means another mad max film might not happen, but mad max was brought back once, and it can be brought back again.
it's crazy it flopped so hard, it's a masterpiece, people will regret not watching it on the big screen when they could.
I love this movie and, while watching it in a theater, found myself increasingly angry that it didn’t do very well at the box office. This movie deserved so much better than it got, and literally every single argument I’ve heard about why this movie is apparently supposed to be a bad movie amounts to total bullshit.
Like a lot of people I'm disappointed that this flopped meanwhile I'm sure Fast and the Furious 25 will still break bank and Disney execs will learn the wrong lesson and think they just need to make everything even blander. Some movies do get their flowers after they flop and I hope this one becomes one of them. The energy just hit in the same way as the original Mad Max Saga in a way that I can't explain.
the desert warfare was crazy ! they use dust, flanking manoeuvers, booby traps, it was CRAZY !!!
I think a great rule of thumb is to always keep questioning why your characters are doing what they are doing
and to keep conflict by showing (never telling) what will happen if they fail
now, about how to surprise the audience by following the rules of your story, I guess misdirection?
Furiosa was good. The action and drive of Fury Road is still unmatched, but Hemsworth killed it as Dementus. They're still great companion films, and it's a shame we won't see The Wasteland. I wish a billionaire film fan would just fund it.
Loved it better than the first one
Damn, I though this movie was more popular, even Filmento's analysis didn't got the love it deserves.
Love u broh
I never understood Chris Hemsworth standout performance people were saying until my third watch watching this incredible movie it was like seeing the joker from dark night I just wanted more scenes from him wow
Great action. Good cinematography.
I think it's the prequilitus that held it back. KNOWING that Furiosa would end up working for Immortan Joe by the end undercut a lot of investment in her escape attempts, for me. Also, with any prequel or sequel, seeing the world a second time isn't going to be as fresh as seeing it the first time. Furiosa could have expanded the Mad Max world and shown us a lot of cool new stuff, but it mostly showed us stuff we already inferred existed (Gas Town, Bullet Farm, etc) and didn't necessarily inspire any more than what our imaginations already filled the gaps with.
Excellent film
This movie deserved more recognition
despite come shoddy cgi my fav movie next to dune 2 this year
I like how the hydraulic hand on the truck foreshadowed Furiosa's own future mechanical hand.
I love furiosa❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed Mad Max Fury Road, but it was Immortan Joe and the War Boys that had my interest. I never found Furiosa a compelling character.
I felt the same when I watched X. I always thought maxxxine was one of the most boring characters
I’m always surprised how good are your sponsorship bits.
I truly love your use of LA Noire in your videos 😂
I love this movie, dont know why it flopped, alot of people started to play game again though
furiosa is the character we wanted but dont deserve
I didn’t want her and we deserve better
@@ExpertContrarian than go watch captain marvel you freak
I will never understand why people just don't want to see a mad max movie
This isn’t a mad max movie
where's mad max?
These dudes in comments are so hard for Max. I'll take a movie in the MM universe any day, Max or no Max.
@brian_of_farce same, max or no max. I mean I like max as a protagonist but I don't think he's what is carrying the franchise. The mad max world is simply that awesome.
@@Wie_Is_Deze_Gast the world? lmao, a desert with nothing in it is good worldbuilding to you? i understand what u mean tho, i do like to Immortan joe and other CONSEPTS but, the point is not about putting mad max, is about blatantly gender/race swap the industry been doing for no reason more than "we need wemen in stem", if u don't understand that then u know nothing about the industry, but to clarify is not about having or not having mad max.
And mad max is not a universe, is a character, im answering to the other brain dead comment.
Commander at bunker Hill: "don't sh00t till you see the whites of their eyes"
Furiosa: I guess I can't get within 24 km of the enemy
Call of Duty: Black Ops soundtrack was a nice surprise in this video
Shame this movie was a flop, because Mad Max is a lesser known franchise, but I enjoyed it.
