‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’)
‘Furiosa’ First Reactions Say It’s a Stunning Powerhouse (But No ‘Fury Road’)
George Miller's action-packed 'Mad Max 5' is drawing very strong early praise, with some qualifications.
It's fur-ee-OH-sah, not fur-ee-oh-SAH!

Measuring it against Fury Road is an almost impossible task. If it's a "stunning powerhouse" then it should be just fine.
The trailer didn't interest me at all with the overuse of CGI
It is typical for trailers to be released while production is still in progress. Fury road had a TON of CGI, but it's impossible to tell because by release the work was completed. People don't realize how much CGI goes into movies these days and assume it's all practical FX.
Fury road had a lot of practical effects though. Obviously there's still a lot of cgi of shots that is either impossible to do for real, or to enhance the effects and the scene, but almost all the action was all done the same way the originals were done in the 80s.
I thought so too. It was really disappointing compared to all the amazing practical effects in Fury Road.
Fury road is up there with some of my favorites, so yeah I was disappointed.
I read it's because the director is really getting up there in age and didn't want to make production as long as the first, but who knows the real reason.
George Miller is almost 80 now and the movie was partly shot during the pandemic. It was always going to be much more CG heavy than Fury Road. Doesn't mean it's bad.
I saw the trailer on youtube when it first dropped and it legit worried me. I saw the same trailer again before Dune 2 and it looked significantly better, which was a bit encouraging. I do understand where you’re coming from though, and feel much the same myself.
It's not that it's CGI that really bothered me, it's that it's not good CGI. I got the same feeling watching the trailer as I did the Hobbit.
That's fine, Fury Road would be difficult to top, I'll be happy if it gets close.
It's a pity Brendan McCarthy isn't involved - his wild designs really help make Fury Road stunning.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The embargo broke for social media reactions to Furiosa, the eagerly anticipated prequel to the 2015 stunner Mad Max: Fury Road.
Early social reactions can sometimes be a bit different (typically more enthusiastic) than official critic reviews, and surely there are many more to come soon.
But based on the first batch Monday evening, Furisoa is a visual stunner with “ferocious, wild and unrelenting” action and a story that “spans decades,” with strong performances from the two leads.
Furisoa is in “a different gear” and “won’t match Fury Road’s splendor” in a way that “might frustrate” some audiences.
Different than is not necessarily bad, however, and this might be a case of viewers having a tough time shaking off their expectations going into the theater (the Furiosa trailers, after all, sell the new film as being rather exactly like Fury Road).
In any case, many consider Fury Road one of the best action films ever made — certainly one of the best this century — so any comparison, even one where Furiosa comes up a notch or two short, is still complimentary.

No Mad Max no thanks
It's completely unrealistic when I first saw it. Great fantasy but so impossible it's more like a piece of pulp fiction on film.
Any woman that beautiful in a post apocalyptic world would never exist. They would be raped, enslaved, bought and sold like a prize within months of the world breaking down.
Whenever I see or read scenarios like this I'm constantly reminded by a quote by Kurt Vonnegut, a veteran of the second world war who wrote some great books about war including 'Slaughter House Five' ..... he said ... "In war there are only two types of women, those that have been raped and those that will be raped"
When the world breaks down and there is no law and order any more, the women are usually the first to suffer.
This is why I thought this film was unrealistic with such a beautiful model actor as the lead.
Because we all know Mad Max is a very realistic & authentic representation of post apocalyptic scenarios. It's basically a documentary with how accurate and real it is.
Someone call the Romanians. Andrew Tate has gotten his hands on a contraband cell phone.
Dunno about you, but I did not read the comment as saying it was a positive thing. Seemed an, unfortunately, well informed take.
Weird using it as a critique, yah. But he has a point.
I get the feeling you have strong opinions about how dangerous bears are.
lmfaooo
bruh
But she's not beautiful, she looks like an alien or a sloth. So, she might be safe by your weird logic.
