- Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga Movie Review - It's great being back in The Wasteland! Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Furiosa in this epic, large-scale blockbuster, again directed by George Miller. He pulls out all the stops for this prequel flick. I didn't want the ride to end!

Finally, the one person I've been waiting to review this film. Can't wait to watch it in IMAX tonight.
Nice! Let me know what you thought!
I just came out of Furiosa. It was good, but still not as good as Fury Road.
@AdamDoesMovies It was good, not great, but good. It's hard to remember that it's not Fury Road.
PROS
- The cast was fantastic, and the characters were great, props to Alyla Browne, Anna Taylor Joy, and especially Chris Hemsworth.
- I appreciate the world building. It's nice to see how the other fortresses and gangs operate compared to the Citadel.
- The action is amazing, not as daring as Fury Road, but great
- THE SOUND DESIGN, OMG!!!
- Margaret Sixel's editing is just good as Fury Road, keeps up perfectly with the action
- (Light Spoiler)The way the revenge was carried out was satisfying to me, and carries a lot of weight towards Furiosa's character in this movie and the influence she might have gotten from the wives in Fury Road.
CONS
- The structure of the story felt shaky and a bit hard to digest when it transitioned.
- There were elements in the story I felt should have been left out and some that should have been expanded more.
- The CGI is pretty distracting. Cars and people felt bouncy while green screens didn't blend well.
- Some of the old characters brought back aren't as memorable if you don't have Fury Road in mind, which sucks.
- The music felt really absent to me, and not as hard hitting in scenes as Fury Road.
Overall, I give it a 6.5/10. It's a good movie.
Too bad it flopped in theaters.
Idk. I feel like the only one who thought this movie was just okay. Amazing action, but I feel like young Furiosa was around far too long, and there was no narrative thrust for the movie.
I looked at the full cast list, no Awkwafina, a bit upset to be honest. Seriously though, I can't wait to check this out. Thanks for the review!
Nice ‘awkwardfina’ joke! I’m still waiting for Adam’s Akwafina rant!
@@TalentedLMT Touché sir, haha, that would be great. I think anything she's in he pretty much does mini rants.
@AhkenAten-rh8me that's why I said "seriously though", I was joking. I would not want her in the movie.
Furiosa and Fury Road are a badass double feature. They compliment eachother so well. Badass
Looks like a cartoon idk
@@Jiff321 that stuntwork and cars exploding sure looks real to me. But yeah most big budget movies do alot of set piece cgi nowadays. It's the only way to bring something super fantastical to life.
A strong female lead done right
I'm having a hard time wanting to see it. I didn't find the character interesting enough to want to explore her backstory and I don't like prequels. If there was something worth saying or showing before the events of Fury Road then it should have been done before Fury Road was made. We know how things turn out already, there's no stakes and it always feels more like unnecessary filler. I prefer stories to keep moving forward, especially when the creator is 79 years old.
Wasn’t planning on watching this movie but man am I glad I did!
Sure, that one motorcycle shot of the mom and daughter in the cave does stand out, but to be honest... it almost felt intentional. Part of the style. I liked it.
Fun fact the silver spray paint is actually silver cake decorating spray so u too can witness me.
This movie surprised me at how much I loved it. I'm not a Mad Max fan or anything, I've only seen Fury Road once, but this movie is beast. This is easily my favorite movie in the past year and a half besides Iron Claw and Godzilla Minus One. But this movie might even be better than those 2. In fact I think it is for me.
I am a HUGE Max Mad fan. I went to the drive in theatre when I was 6 with my parents to watch the 1979 original version at a drive-in movie theatre. Might be why I am screwed up today. Ha!
I thought Fury Road was good. But felt like it left more to be desired. Tom Hardy isn't Mel Gibson. Meh.
Wasn't too connected with Furiosa character in Fury Road, but she had some "bad ass" qualities. So I was stuck with it.
I was extremely skeptical of this movie. I wasn't a huge Fariosa fan and I was worried Hollywood was going to try to spin in some weird woke BS and promote some gross Woke/Alphabet agenda like they do with most movies now. To my surprise and relief the didn't! YAAY!
Finally it was about the movie and not an agenda. It's a honest NOMAD apocalyptic movie that was entertaining from the start to the end. It made me fall in love with the Furiosa character that Fury Road failed to do. It implemented a bad ass "Mad Max" hero type; 'Praetorian Jack' that spun on Mel Gibson's version of Mad Max 2. Even though he played a small role and suffered a cruel death, his impact was very much a positive element. It added more to the film.
This is a must see film for all you Mad Max fans. Go see it on the big screen. You'll be glad you did!
Anya Taylor-Joy is not a big enough star to carry a Big budget Movie. How does Warner Bros keep making this same mistake again and again??
Couldn't take my eyes off this movie. So much stuff that blew my mind. "No family ruining anything for you. " is precisely why I go to the cinema 😂
Saw it on IMAX and enjoyed it! It was a little long especially bc we have to sit through 25 min of previews before the movie starts. Mad max always had shitty people doing shitty things and that’s good they had some of it here but I felt they tuned it down for the audience. It’s supposed to be a world without morality. Action scenes were great. Loved war boys but wished they showed them being better at their job. They kinda sucked at defending the rig 😂. Hemsworth did better than I expected and Anya did well at keeping her pouty sultry thing toned down. Glad to see the villains come back- I wanted to know more about them and their story. There’s another son of Immortan Joe which was cool! It was very good and would recommend 👍🏼 I would definitely want to see more of this world
Agreed!
I honestly thought it was a parody the first time I saw the trailer lol
I went to watch this movie because of your recommendation when you said it's better than Civil War. I forgot that I do not like any of the Mad Max movies. It was not my cup of tea.
I liked it a lot. Much more than I thought I would. I was iffy on it, only willing to see it because there's not much out that I haven't seen already, but I'm really glad I saw it, especially on my local AMC LIEMAX screen.
I saw this in the theater with my son a couple weekends ago. It was a ton of fun, and definitely worth the $6 ticket. I could see about 15 minutes being trimmed off and it would be perfect.
I would love to see the return of Max
Hey Adam. Why did you remove the "request a movie to review" from your Patreon? :(
I just saw it. its really rally good. witnesss!!.
Can I just please get a movie without Anya Taylor Joy, she's in everything, I'd rather it being about the movie rather than the actress.
Totally overexposed. It's not charming anymore.
So many problems with this film nobody else is mentioning. It's like they saw a totally different film to me.
Immersion was broken multiple times. Why is everyone going so easy on this and giving it a pass when it is essentially no different to the other poorly written, strong female 'Mary Sue' films of recent times?
Love to see it. I did not see the fury road undistracted until recently N I was impressed. Everyone was talking about the chase but the actings got me invested
Is there too much cgi in this? Is it done well? IDK.
The movie looked completely different from the trailer.
The only bad CGI part was the RIG part. You can tell it was green screen heavy
Most of it isn’t distracting
I was gonna skip it when I saw the trailer, looking too CG and cartoony and I hate that stuff, was upset by the trailer. After the reviews, I got more hope and wow! I loved it! It was amazing and Im gonna watch it again!
4:18 Adam: Why u no like Furiosa?
5:02 Adam: They made Max suck to promote her.
You found your answer.
Can anyone answer real quick, I never saw any Mad Max movie and know nothing about this world, but this seems intriguing. Can I see this with no working knowledge whatsoever of this material and be fine?
I think so , since this movie is the prequel
Hey Adam, excellent review on this one. We went and saw the movie today based on your thoughts and you were spot on. Thanks again!
Nice!
Nice review.
It was okay but I had 2 issues that made it less enjoyable. 1. The CGI. What happened to all the great practical effects? 2. The last 30 minutes went by so fast, kind of ended like a wet fart. Would have liked to have seen the 40 day war. Anticlimactic
I really enjoyed it just thought it could have been a little shorter.
i don’t remember fury road,but i remember getting bored in the middle of it…
Good to hear, but the complete opposite of what I heard from other TH-cam commentators.
That’s how it goes. What works for some, won’t work for others.
Furiosa Australian movie or Hollywood movie?
Alyla Browne is playing Maria in Sonic 3. So I’m excited to see her in this film since I hope she does Maria justice. Sonic 3 and Deadpool and Wolverine are my 2 most anticipated movies of the year.
Love everything about this post apocalyptic world 🤘🏽. Loved this movie. I’d watch a back story on every single character. Make a series make anime make more movies. 🤘🏽
it was a mistake having this movie lead straight into fury road are better sequel would have had furiosa and imortan Joe having to go to bartertown to deal with auntie
when furiosa cut off her arm it should have been left flipping the bird classic madmax style
I think it's that the budget for this one was smaller and they're testing the waters again to see if people are still interested in this franchise and that's probably why they used a lot more CGI than fury road. It is distracting in some parts.. But that's only after like my third watch
Great movie! George Miller is a master.
Screw everyone who says Adam doesn't like movies and is always negative. It's exactly because he loves great movies that he is so harsh on the bad ones.
So, no Mad Max?
I absolutely love this movie! I’m so grateful for Dune 2 and Furiosa as a supreme blockbusters of the year 😊
Dune 2 is so phenomenal especially after a few watches.
I liked it a lot. I think i love it. The chase scene in the middle is perfect ! I need to see it again. I really hope George Miller gets to make The Wasteland.
Fury Road was the much better movie. More imaginative, better story and the CG blended in perfect with the movie.Hemsworth came off as a bit of a parody of a bad guy. Even things like the cars all seemed to be repetitive instead of having their own unique character. It was just an ok film.
decap ... not de-cap-i-taysh
Saw this last week and loved it. It certainly didn't feel like it was nearly 3 hours long. I thought Chris was great as Dementus and Tom Burke that played Praetorian Jack, nailed the Aussie accent perfectly.
Take a shot every time someone says cinema is back.
When grown ups can be amused by this ultimately boring kiddie nonsense we have reached Peak Demented.
When people think they are above others and think their self centered opinion is better? We have reached peak demented. That's way better 🙂
Love every single of the mad max movies, even thunder one lmao, especially fury road. But I was alittle skeptical about this one but I’ve been hearing nothing but great things
Fun Fact: Mad Max is nowhere to be found. Just more bad ass models. 😂
Tom Hardy’s stunt man played Max in that short sequence.
I loved furiosa. It was simply amazing
The music for the trailers👏 god damn shits a banger gets me hyped 💪🏻
I agree 💯 % with your review.
when is the jLo atlas movie review?
Monday. I posted a graphic with the upcoming videos for both this channel and my second one You can find it on the Community tab on my main channel page.
I could have spent more time. I agree. I loved this movie. I was overjoyed that it surpassed my extremely high expectations. Wonderful movie. I am happy for all who enjoy it. This was Legendary.
Nah.
Desert movies bringing movies back
Liked this one a bit more than Fury Road!
Looking forward to your Atlas review
Agreed..."It's about time"
A mad max saga.. That's not about mad max.. Gay.
This movie is fantastic!
Love Furiosa 😻 I really like it no lie
It's bombed big time cinema back ? HILARIOUS
loved this movie
💥💥I saw the first mad Max fury road in 2015 a couple of times with my cousin not because I was interested in the movie or liked it.
I mean i like the old mad Max movie. Mad Max 2015 he was basically strapped to a car the whole time he's basically a side character.
This new mad Max quote on quote fury road I'm not interested in seeing it at all and I'm not going to watch it it's basically the same shit as 2015 im good.
I think maybe it's been too long since you watched Fury Road but to compare this stylized aspect of Fury Road to Furiosa is ridiculous. Furiosa is a cartoon it's 100% way too much CGI everywhere in every single shot pretty much they are not even comparable. Almost this entire movie looks like it could have been shot on a soundstage.
So what? Same with mad max, none of that shit was real. And no lie, I kind of preferred this one to fury road because fury road was just an elaborate chase movie, well done, but still very simple. Furiosa had a better plot, imo, characters, and action
@@mania4270 ferry Road had way way way more practical effects than Furiosa did okay it's not even close You're just simply wrong You can like the action more but it's definitely not more realistic
@@mania4270 The plot in Furiosa is ridiculous and if you actually think about it it doesn't make any sense there are spots where dementus takes power when he absolutely had no upper hand and should have been murdered by immorton Joe. And everything was chaos he somehow stayed in power which made no sense the story was garbage.
@@themoviesnob9513true.
I believe why the movie is underperforming is that the first trailer that came out months ago.. the stunts and special effects looked like alot of the movie was green screened... this turned off alot of the audience.. thinking they are getting a mad max film that was mostly digital and not practical effects....which is not the case, when you watch the whole movie....
I agree charlize theron deserved something more. I have been waiting for your review and will go see it tomorrow. Great review!
Awful
Amazing film
I thought it was violent and gasoline fueled beauty. It flew by and I think Friosa only had 40 something lines.
The cgi greenscreen is so bad in this one. The movie sadly flops hard.
I witnessed.... mediocre! No, love it!
A spoiler-free review is as stupid as reviewing a trip to Paris and keeping it "spoiler-free" by not mentioning the Eiffel Tower or the River Seine.
Not if you have garnered a lot of trust from your audience. A spoiler-free review gives people a good idea of what to expect. If they often align with the reviewer's tastes, then a positive or negative review might tip the scales for them to see the film.
There's an Eiffel Tower in Paris?? Damn, I was going to France next month and now you've spoiled it for me..... 😟
what kind of drugs are you on lol?
@@AdamDoesMovies So you think your audience is so dumb the only thing they care about is "what happens"? So, a movie you've seen once loses all its value? Entertainment isn't about "what happens;" it's about how it happens. Just like a joke is funny because of the way it's told.
@@familycorvette oh buddy who hurt you? No seriously who hurt you? Calm down.
ATJ was FIERCE with her long hair. Reminded me of William Wallace from Braveheart.
Please stop saying "fierce"
Nothing could be worse than Beyond Thunderdome so this has promise.
"I know the law!" Thunderdome was awesome!
I thought this movie sucked…
Very stupid and dumb movies , great stunts and visuals /locations, the only reason some people love this mad max movies
So you speak for those people? Hmmm buddy you seem bothered that others love something you don't.
Really do not want to watch MAD MAXINE . MAD MAX anytime.
Do we really need more millennials and zoomer movie reviews? Noooooooo
I would never understand the love for the first mad max (the 2015 trash). It's so stupid and long and boring and pointless.
I would never understand the hate of the 2015 mad max. It's a masterpiece. I figured I reverse it to see how pretentious I would sound. 😂. Buddy there is nothing to understand except that many loved something you do not. Simple as that.
What? It’s a good movie idk what you’re on.
That wasn't the first mad max, it was the forth. So of course you aren't smart enough to get it, cant even count
Yeah I agree. There's some cool stuff, but overall it didn't feel like a credible, sustainable dystopia that humans could inhabit for more than 3 days.
And the villain was just a stupid, obvious, gross blob. Like if Star Wars' biggest baddie was Jabba and not Vader.
@@jayanti2371 that's where ya have to have imagination. It's shown that water, food, and gas are the most valuable stuff that ppl fight for. Maybe go watch the og mad max movies. That's like judging star wars world based on the force awakens
I was ify about seeing this but i do appreciate a larger then life movie that needs to be seen at the big screen cinema , but your review has me very interested, thanks Fr.Australia 🐨🦘🐊
