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.
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.
The thing is, Fury Road had a ton of visual effects as well. Almost every shot is full of them - but most people didn't notice them, because they were so well executed and skillfully combined with real elements.
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.
Almost as if the value of art can't, nor should, be measured by it's monetary value.
Yet someone has to pay to produce it
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.
If you like the Mad Max movies, you'll like Furiosa.
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.
I’m sure you liked it, as I’m sure a bunch of people legitimately did.
What I’m saying is that I think most people saw Fury Road because of societal pressure due to a very small minority propping up the movie. I went to see it and found the movie to be an incredibly unsatisfying story about a FEDEX delivery that ended in the starting point. Useless.
I thought I was crazy reading so many people liked it, but now this gives support to my personal opinion.
Furiosa was an ok watch...nothing we havent seen before... meh.
