They make a good point. Mad Max is a relatively niche IP, compared to your usual Blockbuster action movies. Furiosa is a little overlong, and violent. All-in-all, offers a limited appeal unless you’re already a fan of Fury Road.
That’s a shame, it’s a really fun movie and great to watch in cinemas. Doesn’t reach the highs of fury road but it was still a really good time for me personally.
If you like the Mad Max movies, you’ll like Furiosa.
Just went and saw it. It’s fine. An antidote to the usual marvel nonsense, but it’s just not in the same league as fury road. The green screen is a real problem though. Some of the shots look almost incomplete, like they’re placeholders for the real ones.
I haven’t seen it, but that was a big thing I noticed in the trailer, all the cg effects. It’s a really weird decision to me since so much of the praise for Fury Road was the special effects.
Honestly I think the marketing is what hurt the film. The trailer was all over the place and I know this seems shallow but the kid repeating Furiosa. was very annoying to me for some reason. Like when shitty ads repeat the product name.
This gives credence to my mental canon that Fury Road wasn’t that really well liked and just a product of an extremely heavy campaign by a very small minority of people that liked it. If not, why not come for what could be considered the sequel?
At least for me, Fury Road was the first and last Mad Max film I’ll see.
I love Fury Road. It’s a spectacular film. This “sequel” just looks bad. You can tell it’s green screened, when the on destination actual vehicles is so much of why Fury Road was great. The acting and writing seem bad. And that’s just from the trailer that’s supposed to make you want to watch it.
