Absolutely LOVED this movie. Couldn’t believe how much I loved it. It’s more emotional than Fury Road. It’s also more depressing and nastier. Chris Hemsworth gives an incredible performance. Just absolutely incredible.
I agree 200% with this comment! what a great movie and follow up.
Fury Road is far better movie in every sense and Chris Hemsworth is wrong cast for that role. Did we watch the same movie ?
@@zeljkoplavsic784Definitely the same movie, it’s the brains taking it in that are different.
Agree in every way. I had tears in my eyes half of the time because of just how impressed I was with what was going on in front of me.
Totally agree!
I was blown away by the artistry that went into this movie. Not just in the vehicles and special effects, but the costume, sound, and production design. My God the STUNTS…! Movies like this are why we go to the theater!
Except not many people are going to the theater to see it as the movie isn’t doing well at the box office… 😕That’s so typical, whenever there’s finally a big blockbuster i’m interested to see, there’s a 90% chance it’s going to do poor at the box office…
@@mabusestestament have you gone to see it?
@@jonathannoble9465
Unfortunately not
you don’t go to see movies in a theater because of the expectation that it will do well at the box office. You see it because it is worth seeing.
Just did my second viewing of this film , this is “eye protein” .
Fury Road is Kill Bill Vol1 and Furiosa is Kill Bill Vol2: slower, more measured with backstory.
A suggestion for those who have seen this yet:
Don’t listen to haters calling this movie “woke” just because there’s a woman in it. It’s a badass film and a spectacle. The movie is bombing at the box office by people who label anything female related as woke.
This is not a Disney or Netflix project. This is purely an author’s work. Support cinema. Cheers 🤟🏼
Amen.
Yeah it’s definitely not woke. Whatever that means 😂
Agree this movie and fury road aren’t woke at all. Just solid female characters done right.
People who say this is woke doesn't have any clue what they're talking about.
I hate wokeness in all its ugly forms. The last thing Furiosa is, is woke. It's a really good movie. Not as great as Fury Road, but still quality.
I’m waiting for Gary Busey: A Mad Max Story
🤣🤣🤣 he looks like a creature from the wastelands🤣🤣🤣
those chompers can dig up a decent bit of sand to confuse enemy vehicles.
Mr.Joshua was one of his best.
@@ArcanumAscent Cool.
Gary Busey was great in "Surviving the Game" (a remake of what might be the first action movie that utilized a first person point of view moving camera in a chase scene). I'd love to see him as a Mad Max villain, but he might also play even an aging Mad Max.
Movie needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible with the loudest sound possible ..truly epic
Said the same thing also 👍
So that you can really see all the bad CGI on display.
@noahheninger It's actually good CGI, but yeah, there is CGI.
@@kthx1138 No, I'd say the CGI ranges from passable to outright bad. Its saving grace is that there are still plenty of decent practical effects. Miller did a good job; it was the effects team that shat the bed in post-production.
@@noahheninger I will agree that the CGI is more intrusive than Fury road's. But this movie looked freaking amazing from beginning to end. If you can stand the opening scene of fury road where max is being towed behind the vehicle and he is clearly a cgi figure you can handle the worst of this movie. Go see it, it is killer.
Hey, Maggie. Quick note. I've binged at least half of all your YT clips. What's really satisfying is your log off speech. You say the same thing, but despite the binges, it never gets old. You remind us we can subscribe if want, you invite us to leave comments or watch videos but leave no pressure or judgment if we don't. You plug in your website and your commission, but it's not tacky. You're quick and to the point and you leave time to shout out your patrons who choose to support you. I know you've refined it to be as quick and Blunt as it can be but as a fan I appreciate the phrasings you use because it's not pompous or entitled and it allows me to be eager to continue to enjoy your voice and your videos like a safe space. I hope that all makes sense, I usually get tired of people who just tack on words at the end, but when you do it , it feels inviting and earned. Thanks! Keep doing what you've been doing.
Why did this make me laugh so hard
Yeah I kind of feels like a mantra 🙂
I love how positive, thoughtful and sweet the community we have been able to make here together is. Despite how most people here are kinda jaded and increiblly cynical about film, (which is an art we all actually love deeply) we never let that be directed at people undeserving.
Like I know it seems a minor thing, but for some reason, comments like this (that are, no offence, not really related to the topic at hand) that show real openness, and as you said, the feeling of being in a safe space, warm my heart.
This is a lot of words.
Everyone should see this in theaters, it was an amazing experience.
Absolutely agreed.
Saw it in XD. It was a feast for the eyes.
One of my favorite points of comparison I've seen about Furiosa to Fury Road is that they are a double album. Fury Road is punchy and to the point while Furiosa is messier, more experimental, and more vulnerable because of that. Both sides enrich each other and stand out in their own way.
These movies are miracles.
That's why I'm excited to be able to watch them in a row at home eventually. Because with this movie now, Fury Road feels like the pay off, just one 2 hour long third act to Furiosa.
'Miracles'? so for reasons unknown it's comparable to Jesus walking on water?
@@5DollarGaming I'm just sad that theres no way i will be able to do the movies justice on my home setup vs. an imax or dolby theater lmao
@@joshberkin5567 Hoping one day, especially if the franchise continues, they do double feature screenings.
""environments aged into the wood"".....
Maggie, ur a poet!
One of my favorite characters from “Furiosa” is Tom Burke’s Praetorian Jack. Why is nobody talking about him? He was like just enough of a Mad Max presence to totally satisfy anyone complaining about Max not being in this film. I really enjoyed this movie. It’s not quite Fury Road, but still really good.
I agree he is sort of this strange key to the movie that is extremely understated
Funny thing, I felt that the character was a bit of remote to really care about the character. I think the strength of that character is that it is actually glue or a passage for the story to build the perfect story arc for Furiosa. I guess it actually shows great writing in the big picture.
Praetorian Jack puts in perspective that Max wasn't the only road warrior who survived the apocalypse. Different person with different drive yet similar "warrior spirit" as Max. I liked his character, and adds why Furiosa connects with Max, since he probably reminded her of Jack.
I actually like the Jack character over Dementus, such strong acting from a brutal looking character. His death scene was epic too with the arm reveal as Dementus wrestles with his inner demons looking on...
@@CobblesteinSwobblepop Spoiler alert!
George Miller has such a fantastic grasp on translating a vision to screen. The world and tone feels more alive and consistent than Dune Part Two. The grittiness feels authentic and the creativity in the details is so rewarding to spot as each scene lingers.
As an Australian I appreciated how much more explicitly Aussie this was than Fury Road. Obviously being completely filmed in Australia helps, the vastness of Australia's outback is so much more tangible in here and Mad Max 2 than it is in Fury Road (for me at least).
I still prefer Fury Road overall as that film feels like a miracle of action filmmaking but this gave me more of what I love about the Mad Max world despite not having Max in it. I liked that the slower pace allowed for more of those purely Australian interactions between characters and it's great that a blockbuster with this sort of tone and confidence in its own world can still be made on this scale. It's a shame it's not doing well at the boxoffice.
Fury Road was going to be filmed in Australia, but nature changed their plans.
@@bassage13 Yeah of course, the pre-production stories on Fury Road are kinda crazy.
Lifelong mad max fan here.Seeing this on sunday and cannot wait! Always check your channel reviews as they are easily some of the most articulate and mature on YT - So glad you gave it a big thumbs up! Gotta be good 🤘
Can't wait to see it!!!! Love how descriptive you are in the your reviews.
Your reviews are always incredible. Just the sheer passion in the way you talk about things, always makes me want to start writing on my own. Would love to hear your thoughts on this years I Saw the TV Glow. It’s easily one of the most interesting of the year so far to me and I think there’s a lot in it that you’d be able to break down and critique
You are so well spoken! You found the words to express a feeling I had with dune that I never managed to fully pinpoint or articulate.
You do the best reviews! So intelligent & honest. Such a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your effort.
Cool review, I like that you used no footage, just talked about it and no spoilers.
I give props to the creativity of character design on this movie
Fascinating review, thanks! I hadn't been interested in seeing this film at all till I watched your brilliant, thoughtful, well-considered review, which ticked all the right boxes for me (and anticipated questions/concerns I would've had). Now I'll go see the film. Cheers!

Funny it’s bombing at the box office, this one will hold up over time.
i would say fury road > road warrior but otherwise i agree with that ordering. and yeah furiosa is an amazing film. i think the trailers were a bit weak which might explain the box office.

@@trs8696tell your friends to see it, create word of mouth!
You are a reviewing machine! The villain has always been a big part of these Mad Max movies, from Toe Cutter in the first B movieish installment. You should do a rating review of all the Mad Max movies.
pleased to see you liked it! i trust this review more then any of the other ones ive seen, excited to catch this one!
Great review as always, can’t wait to see it this weekend!
Dementus confronting Immortan Joe at the Citadel was so cool to me. I love seeing two villain warlords fighting each other
Did you see HOPE AND GLORY - A Mad Max Fan Film? 275 filmmakers from 5 continents gave their all with real stunts, a real orchestra and most importantly, real heart.
Chris Hemsworth's Dementus is the life and soul of this film for me. Performance of his career.
the nose did most of the acting.
I love how you could tell Chris had fun on set.
Straight up career redemption imo. I was SUPER skeptical going into this movie thinking he was just gonna be Thor lol. The trailers for this movie weren't very good either and I thought he was gonna be super corny.
But nah he fucking killed it.
You nail it very well and especially the two Dune’s comparison. I saw Furiosa yesterday and was beyond satisfied!!
Wow that fast. Gonna watch it on Saturday. btw you do ever plan on doing a review on I Saw The TV Glow? Like to know your thoughts on it
Hell ya can't wait to check this out love your reviews and ya sterile is a quality that applies to basically all of his films works in sicario and prisoners but didn't care for that quality in his later films
One of the only movie reviewers I regularly watch who has always remained true to their formula and hasn't shilled themselves out.
I clicked fast and hard.
Im sure you did you dirty bastard.
I’m looking forward to seeing this movie. It’s gonna be a tough fact to follow mad Max fury Road so far. I’m here and really good things about this movie.. You’re my favorite movie critic on UA-cam. You are absolutely refreshing. Just a very enjoyable person. Always look forward to reading your UA-cam post.
I watched this and told my friends I heard it was good. I’m so embarrassed. This is the last women I’ll ever take without some salt.
Great review. Have you watched Road Warrior 2? Many think that's the best one of the bunch. Curious on your thoughts.
George Miller is like a poet from the Old World. This is my favorite movie of the year so far!
Same!
Yes, same here.
Anya never fails in any role! Whether the movie is amazing, or not. She gives her all & has fun. She's appeared in a movie each year since 2016.
*The Witch (2016)*
*Split (2017)*
*Thoroughbreds (2018)*
*Glass (2019)*
*The New Mutants (2020)*
*Last Night in Soho (2021)*
*The Northman*
*The Menu (2022)*
*The Super Mario Bros. (2023)*
*Dune: Part Two*
*Furiosa: a mad max saga (2024)*
You forgot Amsterdam 2022. I know she wasn't lot in this movie but still way more than short cameo in Dune Part 2 then I guess Amsterdam counts too.
Just going off the box office returns from her movies, I don't undertand why anyone thought Anya could be the lead in a 'supposed' blockbuster movie.
You also have to see her in The Queens Gambit. Possibly her finest ever performance (and a 10/10 miniseries).
She sucked
Don’t forget The Menu.
Great rundown of this amazing movie! I really hope the tepid box-office debut of Furiosa doesn't put a damper on plans for Mad Max: The Wasteland.
The legend FURIOSA 🔥 is written before our eyes, George MILLER at the top of his ART explodes our retinas. Amazing.
FURIOSA ☆☆☆☆☆
I got very subtle and tasteful wwf heel inspiration vibes from chris hemsworth. He did seem larger than life in terms of a character. Well done.
Excellent review!
Always a joy to listen to you!
Man.. your passion for this genre is fascinating
Wow, nice review, just bought IMAX tickets for tonight, caht wait. I loved Fury Road because it felt like old school filmaking done with modern technology. The workd building and stunts still make your jaw drop nearly a decade later. Then the sound is absolutely insane, its so gut wrenchingly visceral. Road Warrior will always be my favourite Max movie because its dirty & grimy, the world seems lived in and real. But i get it, films like that are not going to be made in 2024 so this will do nicely.
Best movie of 2024 by far (so far at least). I experienced several moments of euphoria from the visual quality of the film combined with long sequences of action that were (pleasantly) devoid of dialogue. Hemsworth's monologue near the end of the movie sent major shivers down my spine as we're given a whole new level of insight into his character. I agree with the comparison to the recent Dune movies, which felt "very safe" compared to this which felt like the creators took major risks that more than paid off and the same can be said of Fury Road.
Watch "perfect Days" it might change your opinion
@@KaranKatsuro It looks like it's a very good movie, but it's so different that it would likely be an apples-to-oranges comparison. It also probably won't make it to my theater and right now, I don't have access to any streaming services.
@@Edowin-jz2sj yeah I get comparison but yeah I would recommend it to you nothing more than that coz it's a good movie
Fury Road is pretty much the perfect action movie so I’ve been very excited to see this. Your review has just increased my hype!
Furiosa just might replace the Fury Road spot, it actually did for me& I grew up with the franchise. So much richer& epic this latest installment!!
@@BrianSalazar-kn5ng Seeing it tomorrow, this only makes me more pumped!
very impressive review! One of the most objective I've seen of this movie, and I was thinking about Dune part one while I watched it in the theatre just like you say here!!
Loved the movie. Waaaaaay better than Dune 2.
I think its funny that people are saying how impressive it is that George Miller directed this movie at 79, as if he was the one doing the stunts 😂
Great review!
Oh good. I am curious about this movie and what your take will be on it.
Great review, intelligent, well informed and spot on. Well done! Great film, if you can see FURIOSA on a large format screen do it... Fantastic..
Loved it! This felt like Miller’s Once Upon a Time in the West
Feel like it’s the sole great western of the 2020’s and will be re-looked upon for years to come.
The Hemsworth character blew me away, there are dimensions to him that caught me off guard. He’s threatening but moreso because he’s unpredictable and nihilistic rather than cold and calculating. His worldview reveal in the finale was profoundly sad.
Finally found my echo chamber who share my awe at the masterpiece which is Furiosa. I 100% Echo your sentiments about this review. This film was raw, savage, visually beautiful. The action was wild and creative. The characters vivid and memorable. Yes I think film surpasses Dune and it's everything I want from a big epic adventure movie. This Is what I wish star wars and rings of power and all of these heros journey type stories to be like. I wish we could a modern Conan movie like these modern mad max movies. The primitive energy imbued with classical Mythological storytelling. My favorite scene after the mother's daring raid to rescue her daughter, was the scene where the boss of gastown recreated one of my favorite paintings. It felt like this movie was made for someone with my sensibilities.
Really liked the contrast between the two big bad guys, the realms they'd built. She's caught between two ugly regimes and trying to survive. Makes sense, and the mythological aspects were really emphasized in this one. They even had a guy who vaguely resembled the gyrocaptain in command of aerial units :)
Happy to have seen it in theaters, even though costs have gone up since I last went. I like the re-watchability of these things, especially with all the worldbuilding details they're putting in
I really did love the movie.. my only issue with it is i wish it had more music throughout the movie.
i didnt really pay much attention to this film, but now i am intrigued. i love Anya taylor joy.
She’s one of my favorite actresses working today sis be ACTING. She has that Tilda Swinton energy.
The bad CGI at the begining of the movie threw me off but it got better. Young Furiosa was amazing. The actress that played Furiosa was great but physically she looked tiny very undersized unlike Theron that looked bigger. It was a bad day for the box officer all around as even Garfield didn't do that well. A lot of people labeling this as a "Girl Boss" movie but it definitely is not.
Disney is SEETHING with JEALOUSY over the success of this movie 👽👍👻
Not sure if this is supposed to be ironic since I'm not fluent in emoji. Furiosa is a massive flop. The worst memorial day opening in 40 years.
Post was made before the weekend. But it will in the end make money and be a cult classic. Disney movies will disappear completely.
I would really like to hear you review Once Upon a Time in the West. I feel that Sergio Leone echoes throughout many action and Scifi movies of the last 50 years and that he is a far more seminal director than he is given credit for being.
I'm late for the booking today's show are all housefull, My show's on Sunday Morning. Hope this won't disappoint me.
This movie is an indirect fatality of actual "woke" filmmakers.
4:20 yes that’s so well said. It really felt inorganic to me in terms of the actors marrying the world they exist in
This was a great prequel to Fury Road. I hope another movie is soon behind
next will be a Mad Max movie, hopefully soon since the director is in his 80s
@@purefoldnz3070 the sandglass is pouring quickly
@@dvitoc yeah, he cant really wait ten years again.
@@purefoldnz3070 he will speed it up now.
Longtime fan of yours Maggie!
I saw it this morning and thought the storytelling and world building in this was really good. It wasn’t just all action in this movie, but it never felt slow for the runtime.
This movie gets my benefit of the doubt. Will see it regardless but still curious to hear if it's good
Feel the exact same way. Seeing it with some friends and a friends brother in law this weekend.
I would've seen it anyway, but I'm still glad you liked it. George Miller at his worst is better than most directors at their best.
Your flow of speech is impeccable!
As fantastic as this movie is, it’s elevated even higher with the insane 4DX treatment. When the big action pieces kick off you’re right in there with the action and nearly flying out of your seat.
i loved it. i was a bit worried from the trailers but it turned out fine. it wasn't quite as good as fury road but it was still amazing and it was trying to do its own thing. its not just a sequel or a prequel, it's stylistically and tonally very different from everything else in the series
It would be awesome if you could review “I Saw the TV Glow”. Just watched it in my local indie/classic theatre. 4/5
Great intrinsic review 👍
Unfortunately the theater I saw this in had gimped audio which detracted noticeably from the impact of the film. I want to see this again in IMAX to give it a proper review.
Anyone have any thoughts on the IMAX version of this movie? I have screenings close by this weekend. Is it worth it? I usually reserve my IMAX purchases for films shot natively in that format.
Yes, this one is for the IMAX.
Saw it last night, do not miss on imax!! So spectacular, wished it wouldn’t end
Great review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great review
It's interesting how you felt it is cartoonish bc I think if I remember right Geroge Miller initially wanted to make this movie as an anime, so it's very cool to me that maybe he thought of a spesific style initially bc of the medium he was going to work in and then to translate that to live action filmmaking
I think the Anya Taylor-Joy ride you’re referring to 01:44 plays out previously in Morgan (2016).
A couple days after seeing Furiosa I turned on Dune 2 at home. My immediate reaction was "Oh, this is like Furiosa/Mad Max if you stripped away all the fun stuff."
I made it about 15 minutes and turned it off. I don't think I'll go back and watch it. I'd rather go see Furiosa in the theater again.
Going tomorrow to see it in IMAX which imo is the only way to get the full experience of a Movie like Mad Max:Fury Road
I’m impressed how people can take the loud sound on imax theaters as it’s too loud for me now. I watch in the regular theaters.
Thank you for raising that Dune point, exactly how I felt. I enjoyed this alot more. Well done George Miller.
They need to start putting your videos higher up in the results; it's so annoying, and indicative of the state of things. Can't wait to see this movie.
You're nowhere near cheesy. Excellent review.
Best reviewer on UA-cam
I wanted to drive a V8 and shotgun a beer as I watched this. "What a lovely day!".
I just watched in theatre this morning. Same. ❤
This is my favourite Mad Max film... apart from the first two originals. I may rewatch.
Excellent review
Has anyone noticed that there are several parallels with the 'Furiosa' storyline and the 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' storyline? (a movie that opened in theatres just one week prior)
I rarely agree with Maggie, but I find her reviews still always intriguing.
Loved every bit of this movie and I wish it was marketed better. The first trailers looked like a bad cgi fest. It wasn’t. There is a level of artistry on display that is rarely matched these days and makes the grotesque beautiful. It earns its R rating. I watched Fury Road right after and Furiosa does make that film even richer. Hopefully this movie will also find its audience.
This film-what a treat. Great review.
I enjoyed it. It was done in chapters so that makes it appear to have more plot to it.
I remember not liking Fury Road at all (need to rewatch it). I remember it being basically one giant action scene.
But I absolutely loved Furiosa. I felt like it had actual character development and arcs, actual dialogue, and an actual story.
Miller is a colossus of savage creativity.... an all time genius in every sense of the word.
Didn't know Chris Hemsworth could give a performance like this! I love how big of a pussy he slowly becomes throughout the movie lol. Something about it screamed Jack Sparrow but genuinely performed better and with a real heart and honestly he does a great job playing a complicated antagonist who seemingly wants to run the show but doesn't want to get his hands dirty in this very dirty and gritty world. Fucking awesome performance honestly, I hope he takes more roles like this one.
great observation about her eyes
Maybe unpopular, i honestly hated this movie. It didn't feel authentic, her character was empty and flat because a male writer and director were just recreating a male hero w a female actress. The beginning of the movie had so much potential, and then they abandoned anything that made it remotely interesting or different from the rest of the saga. Also, I found it to be incredibly visually boring, there was virtually nothing to break up straight yellow desert for the entirety of the film, just incredibly ugly to watch for two hours. And the ending was rushed, like the first 3/4 of the movie were a passion project, but then they had to wrap it up as quickly as possible while shoving in some poorly written monologues in Chris Hemsworth's snooze-worthy death scene. 0/10
I agree they skipped past so much story telling that they could have played out and it would have made it beautiful and make you connect with the characters more . They failed in that department and it was a huge disappointment:(
It really did have so much potential it was all there but lakes good story telling
Fury Road feels like it happens in present tense; Furiosa feels like it happened long in the past
I was put off by the trailer but it sounds like it might be worth a watch.
