George Miller is nearly 80 years old and still directing films, like Scorsese and Spielberg it shows that these are people who generally loved making films and don't planning on retiring.
I absolutely loved Fury Road, which kinda surprised me cos usually I lose interest during long action scenes in movies, yet this 2-hour action scene was absolutely fantastic. And I agree Furiosa was a great movie, too. Less action but more story, and it was well made. And thankfully, not woke or preachy in the least.
I LOVED FURIOSA. As someone who loved Fury Road I was very nervous they were going to screw this movie up. The marketing seemed to purposely try and portray the movie as injected with Marvel-style “comic relief”. Add to that the modern Hollywood “girl boss” stereotype infecting every franchise. I was so pleasantly surprised that this movie exceeded my expectations in every way. It was so well done and stayed so true to the universe created in Fury Road. There was literally zero Marvel-style cheap laughs and tension breaking. There was literally zero modern movie “girl boss” narrative injected into it. The blending of practical effects and CGI was absolutely amazing. I was very disheartened to see it being considered a box office “flop”. And many UA-cam media channels whose opinions i normally highly respect jumped on the bandwagon of writing the movie off as “go woke go broke” for having a “girl boss protagonist” and no Mad Max in a “Mad Max movie”. Which to me is SO FRUSTRATING because this has shown even when a movie DOES EVERYTHING RIGHT we reward it with the same response as all the rest of movies who keep doing it wrong. What’s the market incentive we shout about for movie studios to make amazing movies free from injected ideology if we can’t even see clearly and support the films WHO HEAR US and a reward us, only for us to reward them in return with ignorant criticism and empty theaters. That’s a bit of a rant i know, but it truly annoyed the f out of me. I GIVE YOU MUCH RESPECT FOR BEING ONE OF THE FEW ON UA-cam WILLING/ABLE TO REVIEW THIS MOVIE FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY! 🙌👏🫵
i mean audience pretty much did the same with fury road since pitch perfect 2 beat it at the box office because back them that was the hot thing at the moment. Now everyone forget that pitch perfect had a sequel. There was a cool line that a reviewer said once that he rather watch an experimental but memorable failure than a safe and forgetable success
I LOVED it. More than detracting from Fury Road, it elevates it. I wasn't as crazy about FR as many - Max just isn't really a character with any skin in the game, or personality. Maybe that's the idea, maybe Miller had a more interesting story to tell that nobody would finance without that name recognition. I gave a shit about what was happening on screen this time - there's a pretty cute little sequence at the end that plays on that deeper investment you have in the central conflict that hits really hard and made me wanna jump up and pump my fist. Like, how do we end this without it being kinda anticlimactic? Big payoff. Loved it. Shit, I'd probably gladly watch a Dr Dementus prequel on the strength of this.
Fury Road was as close to perfect as anything could get. It is really a waste of talent that the director didn't make more films in the mad max universe, because of how capitalism works.
and the boys is shameless woke propaganda... even the showrunner admit it, and called people like you "idiots" for thinking the that it isn't... on person in an interview... but since the main character isn't a woman like the acolyte nobody gives a shit Seriously furiosa is shakespare writting (i mean it is technically is hamlet) compare to the last season of the boys
It really isn't, though. Just having a badass lady lead character doesn't make it woke feminist propaganda. She's actually a well-develooed character who makes mistakes, deals with hardships and risks, plus two of the more kind and helpful, but still strong, characters in the story are men, so it doesn't put men down (which is common in woke feminist movies). It was just a greatovoe all around, honestly, with very few points against it imo (and no points were lost for being woke).
yall just say this for any movie with a woman protagonist, it's so tiring. if a movie has a woman in it with agency it's feminist propaganda, if it acknowledges social inequality in any way it's woke.
Every time I watch Fury Road I get a noise complaint from my neighbors... Listen, I'm sorry Linda but this film must be watched *AT MAX VOLUME!!*
