Yeah, these movies are known for their dialogue. I remember all of Tom Hardy’s moving soliloquy in fury road.

Finally finished this and here to admit I was wrong. The last two hours were great and if you cut down the first hour the movie is right up there with Fury Road. The second half CGI seemed better/less noticeable as well.

Major props on the ability to adjust an opinion. A very rare trait.

FYI, it’s streaming on HBO Max now. 
 

I watched it last night and loved it. My favorite movie I’ve seen in quite awhile. 

Watched over the weekend and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Really appreciated the action sequencing.

Loved watching it again at home with subtitles.  Picked up so much that I missed in the theater.  Besides the accents, the post-apocalyptic malapropism language they use is hard for me to understand the first time through.

Hadn’t seen it before but watched it on HBO. Was really good. Great action sequences and fun ride.

Saw it yesterday. Liked it better than Fury Road. The characters in this had more depth. The world building was also better.

 

ATJ was fucking awesome. The 2.5hr run time flew by.

This. Except i liked it more than fury road. Furiosa as a character was more interesting than Max in FR. Also, hemsworth was a deeper and more complex villain than Joe was. 
 

 

Id bet any amount of money that if this came out before Fury Road, the reviews would flip for the two films

Just watched on Max and my take is basically a combo of these. I thought the little girl origin story was a little awkward and disjointed but as soon as ATJ enters - from that point on - I think it's a more complete film than Fury Road. The plot is more interesting in my book and it makes you actually care about the characters. 

Hemsworth is awesome even though he's ironically, basically just doing a Tom Hardy impression the whole time. He and Joe's respective casts of cronies are great, too.

The bit when they first take the war rig out and the dude picks the bike up with the excavator, moves it a bit, waits a second then drops it under the wheels was one of my favorite movie moments I've seen in awhile. I instantly rewound it and played it back. So much clever little action and 1,000 ways to die shit that Fury Road trademarked.

So - overall is it better? I'll probably have to rewatch each of them. They're definitely different despite sharing the exact same setting and most of the same characters. 

I do think Greenspoint is right about if Furiosa came out first - so many people - here included - treat Fury Road as being sacred and untouchable. Then again - this film doesn't exist without Fury Road.

Thought Fury Road was simply a tighter, more energetic movie. Furiosa meandered longer than it should've been to try to explain the the sequel, when my expectation for the franchise was kinetic action and spectacular visuals, not storyweaving.

Tom and Charlize are more magnetic than Anja and this dude. Thor wasn't bad but the slightly comic tone strikes a contrast to the rest of the hardcore characters.

Overall entertaining movie but nothing new. Just feels like a 2nd serving of steak after chowing down a porterhouse.

Watched last night and enjoyed it.  Laughed a few times, in a good way, at some of the new techniques to attack moving vehicles.  Great casting, costumes, acting, sceneries, and story.  What a movie should be and seldom are these days.

I saw it when it started streaming and loved it. Really wish I'd gotten to see it in the theaters but it was gone so fast I didn't get around to it. No idea why in the world it bombed the way it did.

It had to compete with the Garfield movie.

I liked it, but not nearly as much as Fury Road.

I do agree the first hour or so really dragged the movie down overall.
