God fricking dammit
This is a sequel? Glad to see a female protag sequel of an action movie like this bomb. It's one thing to not have Mad Max in Mad Max, now it's a chick? Not watching.
The worst part is they tried to push Furiosa in Fury Road, and nobody so much as nibbled - yet they continued on like she was a popular character people wanted to see again.
Furiosa was good in Fury Road, but a whole spin-off movie with a skinny alien chick wasn't necessary
No. Furiosa was the worst part of Fury road
Agreed. Immortan Joe was the best part of that movie.
>Furiosa was the worst part of Fury road
Yeah but she was still good. Everything else was just better.
>Yeah but she was still good.
if the movie would be better with all her scenes cut out(it would be) then she isnt good.
Yeah, switching from Charlize Theron to ATJ was a huge downgrade.
Maybe they shouldn't have ended her character arc with "frick up the water supply as Max looks up at her like a moron and slowly backs away"
Terrible look for Furiosa.
George Miller is making a sequel to Fury Road but first he wanted to do a prequel with Furiosa for some baffling reason.
I reckon it was Warner that wanted a female lead action movie from him and part of their settlement with him was reducing payments he was owed from Fury Road in lieu of a salary he would receive for delivering a Furiosa movie. All his talk prior to that lawsuit was about the Wasteland with it apparently way more developed and him only having ideas for a Furiosa prequel. Then soon after he settles with Warner out of nowhere the Furiosa movie gets greenlit.
>Making a sequel
Anon
My theory is that Tom Hardy was such a pain in the ass on Fury Road that he knew he couldn’t replace Max again so we went with Furiosa
anon, its that he couldn't make a backstory movie for Mad Max because he already showed us Max's backstory.
he thinks he's doing the great australian fantasy worldbuilding of our time.
was it ever clarified if fury road is a reboot or sequel? why is this director such an autist?
apparently its one of those situations where half the story is in a series of comics that no one has read is officially endorsed as canon (by Miller). you could even argue that Miller invented the concept of "that is a story for another time", presumably Miller Time.
Miller doesn't believe in continuity
>tried to push Furiosa in Fury Road
There are two main characters yet you this she was pushed.
Was darth vader pushed?
she was the lead in fury road too. max was a supporting character at best. that's a departure from the previous 3 mad max flicks and worth pointing out.
>max was a supporting character at best.
This is just wrong.
Max is a supporting character in most of these films, because Miller saw spaghetti westerns in the 60s and decided that the best way to write a protagonist is to have them stand around in the background with no lines for 90% of a movie.
>Max is a supporting character in most of these films
A meme created to justify having Mad Max not being about Mad Max.
Max only has sixteen lines in Road Warrior. George Miller is an autist who literally thinks that is his winning formula. he probably thought changing the gender of the protagonist wouldn't matter.
if you think it's just about the number lines max had, you are an idiot. furiosa was the driving force of fury road, max was a grunting dope, who was nothing but support for furiosa's plan.
I understand that, I'm saying that Miller doesn't.
Furious would have died before she even had a chance to waste all that water if Max hadn't been there. It kinda makes me wish he wasn't there. It's a shame that the car chases were wasted on such a shit movie.
>max was a supporting character at best. that's a departure from the previous 3 mad max flicks and worth pointing out.
Only the first movie is Max focused, the rest of them, he is the main character sure, but he wanders into somebody elses story and ends up being forced to help them out...this has been theb case from Road Warrior onwards, and is no different in Fury Road.
Fury Road didn't have Mad Max, either.
I don't give a shit if they don't cast Mel Gibson.
Yeah but they had Tom Hardy not a chick
>The movie was carried by Tom Hardy. >Let’s make a prequel about his female sidekick.
It should have focused on Tom Hardy
Making a foid focused film was stupid
No one cares about feminosa
in the age of pulling movies in the top 5 from theaters to put them on streaming, no movie is ever really a bomb. you just continually make money by selling it your desperate competition for a couple months over and over again.
hmmm no last i heard they have to pull movies OFF streaming asap because it's a cost somehow
>Disney selling the Marvels to itself means movie didn’t bomb at all.
How many times do you need to sell your movie to your competition's streaming services to break even when you spend $230 million producing the movie?
How’s that worked out for the Marvels, Indiana Jones 5 and Flash?
Frick off shill
>Director proves he's not only still got it, but in fact improved his craft
I would agree with you if it didn't use CGI, but the whole thing was green screen cgshit.
Did you even watch the movie? Many parts were stupid as frick, cgi or not.
She shaves her head as a child, pretends to be a boy, yet has a huge head of hair so we can see her cut it off again.
Dementus thankfully sits on the opposite side of his monster truck so Furiosa can saw her arm off. The three rabid flesh eating dogs don't notice this because reasons. The tribe constantly circling on their bikes for 5 hours also don't notice this. Oh, she also sabotaged one of his wheels too lol.
Jack suddenly has a female assistant and no one questions it or bats a fricking eye.
She rides the bike with one arm up the mountain that none of the other riders are capable of driving up.
That wasn’t even the dumb parts. All the fricking time skips, type face constantly spelling out each town and “chapter” Chris Hemsworth being cast as a villain, the terrible pacing, the pure boredom
Yeah. No.
The things I said were the dumb parts.
No. The things I said were the dumb parts.
Relax, you're both the dumb parts.
You only watched the trailer
This is a pathetic shill cope and as soon as there will be webms from the film posted here you'll have moved on to trying to sell Deadpool 3
Maybe watch the thing you're commenting on before outing yourself as somebody that has only seen the fricking trailer, which looked like shit compared to the film.
>Director proves he's not only still got it,
literally who?
>will never get a sequel
the sequel is Fury Road, moron
We are getting a third movie called Wasteland. They have started producing.
George Miller is a gift to arts and entertainment. What a based man.
they'll pull the plug on that once they see how poorly furiosa performs
Yep. Wasteland had to be contingent on Furiosa performing well. Can't see them handing him $200 million to make another movie when the last two have underperformed.
The movie isn't going to bomb. People don't realize the major advantage it has being released in May. There's not a lot of big movies coming out for awhile, and word of mouth is going to build Furiosa up more for its audience. This is also the week that a lot of schools end, so more people will go to the movies after the fact. Watch the total for this weekend be higher than expected. I can predict 50 million.
That's what they said about The Fall Guy. Also, The original Fury Road, despite so much praise for it, didn't really set the box office on fire. That debuted to $45.45m on a 3 day and projection says Furiosa is going to be under that and that is not adjusting for inflation. It also had a worldwide of $380m which should come out to around $500m in today's money. The original Fury Road had a budget around $150m. Unless Furiosa has some hell of legs, this might just barely get over Fury Road's adjusted for inflation box office.
Its will do well this weekend only, but its going to drop off hard after the holiday
>subverting your Mad Max nostalgia with a lame, gay girlboss Part 2
>movie bombs
how could Chuds do this? reeeeeeeeeee
it's not a girl boss movie. Furiosa is no Daisy Ridley nor a Mary Sue. She is more of a Sarah Connor or Ripley. She is a well written female protagonist.
she's a woman doing a man's job in a postapocalyptic rape desert setting. it's girlboss subversive bullshit, end of story.
how much did you get paid to post this?
you're an idiot. this movie is actually a diamond in the rough that after years and years of demoralization, has risen out of nowhere and this is a moment in movie theater that you have waited years for. I saw Fury Road in theaters, and I like Tom Hardy but the movie was not as good as everyone made it sound. This movie was way better and there's nothing woke about it at all. So yeah if you don't see it you fricked up.
Furiousa was the worst of the main characters in Fury Road. Why would I want to see a prequel about her?
>Furiousa was the worst of the main characters in Fury Road.
How moronic do you have to be to unironically think this? That's like saying Joker is the worst part of the Joker movie. Fury Road was Furiosa's story, Max is a glorified side kick.
Because she was a moron that unironically doomed everyone that she "freed" to die because she wasted all of that water. Oh and Max had to save her multiple times. If they hadn't caught Max there would be no Furiosa to waste the water. Max fricked up helping her.
>So yeah if you don't see it you fricked up.
the shill cries out as he strikes you
BS Ripley and SC were relatable people. They had a normal background being thrust into weird circumstances.
So is Furiosa. She lost her parents and her home.
Not rly, its long past apocalypse so she would be breed like any other non mutated female in Joes domain as God intended.
Furiosa would be her nickname due to how fast she jumps on the dick
can i get paid shilling too? how much do you get per post?
Based! Basically this! Furiosa was treated as scum, suffered, nothing was handed to her. She always needed help, either from other girls or men. This ain't no female ghostbusters bs or Rey-Palpatine-whatever-the-frick. Her character went through a lot of shit. She ain't no saint, she's not miss perfection, she's weak like everyone else and we will see in what her character will become into. That's the great thing about the Mad Max universe: realistic human nature, the worst and the best, all together in a chaotic mix!
>Based! Basically this!
Stopped reading here. Obvious shill post.
The movie is pretty good
I guess that if it's bombing might be because
1/3rd thinks it might be woke, and people is sick of that shit
1/3rd is not interested because it's not about Max, nor a proper sequel
1/3rd are women, and these movies are just manly shit like Terminator
Reminds me of Warcraft movie
A decent movie done to basically nobody because
The Blizzhomosexuals b***hed about not being 1 to 1 to the game story
The normalgays not interested because looks out of a shit videogame and has a generic story (because it is a generic story for a videogame)
But whoever watched it thought it was good. Not superb but well done for what it is. Should've done Frozen Throne
as a guy who only played wc3 campgain plus funmaps i had the biggest dumb smile on my face when they rode across that bridge and you can hear some murloc, haha
>1/3rd is not interested because it's not about Max, nor a proper sequel
eh, fury road was barely about max, and really it was a dead franchise anyway. i don't think people went and say fury road in droves because they were excited for another entry in the mad max saga, they just saw that it looked cool and fun and weird
>The movie is pretty good
it was shit. Hemsworth ruined it with his shitty MCU tier "acting". Anya was a dead fish that was uninteresting for the entire runtime. only the visuals were decent but an empty, soulless movie otherwise
Yeah sure
Hemsworth was the best part of the film for me.
>god fricking dammit
Reddit. Shut up homosexual
All they had to do was bring back Mel Gibson and they would have made a billion dollars.
Have you people not realize yet they do not care about profits. Its about indoctrination and demoralization.
True, it seems only this board is obsessed with Hollywood profits and box office.
>le feminist bullshit for the thousand and first time
>still got it
nah
why didn't women come out and support it?
Is the midget from the movie the same as the one from Leonidas meme?
yes. he's killed off almost immediately after appearing on screen
>Movie bombs, will never get a sequel
We already got the sequel, we saw it first hence why no one cares about this.
Frick prequels and female leads.
It just isnt interesting. I watched the last one because it was mad MAX. Who the frick gives a frick about furiosa? I mean I will watch it at some point when I am bored and not doing anything and I am sure it will be a competent flick by Miller, but no one gives a frick about furiosa.
yfw you live in nirvana because you have actually seen the movie and you understand that it is a unique instant classic
Not watching it just because your post was homosexual as frick.
you're not watching it because you're poor and friendless and have to wait for the torrent
Not a good way to win over people to watch it. dumbass homosexual
Jesus Christ, this post has to be a shill. So fricking inorganic.
That’s what I’m saying. What a frickin homo. Genuinely killed any little bit of interest I had to watch it just to spite that moron
>Another redditor tourist came here to shill this gayass movie
Many such cases. Go back to your gaysite. Nobody is going to see that dogshit movie.
Miller dug his own grave with all these Furiosa shit
Here comes everyone to label you a shill...starting to think Cinemaphile doesn't even fricking watch tv or films at this point.
Furiosa was great, everyone b***hing has only seen the trailers and are pretty much homosexualy incels scared of women, even though she isn't really the sole focus.
you weren't gonna watch it anyway, you're gonna parrot the same shit all the people hear are spouting despite only having seen the trailers, and everyone who has seen it constantly saying that the trailers made it look like shit...you can't even think for yourself or form your own opinion, like an npc lol.
I watched it few hours ago and have mixed feelings. I don't regret watching it but based on some CGI elements and messy plot I feel like Furiosa wasn't finished movie.
I thought it was a pretty great film too. Don't let the mouthbreathing moviegoer-larpers in this board bring your opinion down.
The only CGI scene that really distracted me was the fight in the Bullet Farm. In particular that scene of that modified superbus crashing into the ravine reminded me of Spy Kids for some reason.
>will never get a sequel
anon this IS the sequel
dumbass
it's a prequel. it ends as fury road begins.
Its made after orginal, its sequel. Prequel are sequels with extra steps so redditors like you consume without a thought.
I'm not gonna watch it. I just read the plot summary on wikipedia, that's how I know. not supporting genderswapping of franchises.
It's good. Immortan, Anya and Dementus are great. Their scenes are great. The war rig first chase is great too.
Nothing beats Fury Road but it was still good.
Sory israelites but representation matters, no positive white male lead role? no tickets for me or my family.
Just play the video game it's better than the movies by far.
And it has a non-cucked Max as the main character not some chick.
This is a pretty good game all and all
Also the way the story treats Max as a begrudgingly hero at worst and an actual messiah of legends is good. The mythological vibes that has over the character, and no matter if he wants it or not, he's a savior with a destiny.
All in all.
the ubisoft checklist stuff gets pretty boring after a while
best movie franchise game I've played
Game's fricking incredible, but I didn't 100% it. Really think it was worth the playtime though.
>creates the perfect Mad Max movie
>never makes another Mad Max
>movie flops
>WB increase the shilling
every fricking time.
Miller is 80, it was never getting another sequel from him.
Anya Taylor-Joy was a disaster of a casting choice for marketing in my opinion, it doesn't matter if she pulled off her role or not.
Taylor-Joy is so fricking ugly I can't get over it.
What happened to Furiosa to cause her eyes to shift to the middle of her face as she aged?
Looks like instead of becoming more genetically damaged, she became less so instead.
I just see a deformed fish now. It's sad because she used to be ok looking.
Why didn't they make her wear blue contacts at least?
she looks korean here
Charlize is unbelievably pretty. ATJ is weirdly beautiful which is my kind of thing
Alium
What’s funny is that Miller just casts whoever the popular actor of the day is, thinking this will help him out in the box office. First he did it with gay-astroturfed actor Hardy, who was popular in the mid 10s, his performance was weak and terrible and Miller sacrificed the opportunity to make an excellent, potentially timeless movie with Mel Gibson only to have that homosexual on. Now he casts this lady who doesn’t look anything like a young Theron because he somehow thought she’d bring a large audience. He failed, twice. Frick this hack, now and forever.
>Miller just casts whoever the popular actor of the day is, thinking this will help him out in the box office.
that'll be just as much of a studio decision. they wouldn't even give him the money to make these films without star casting, despite the fact that Mad Max is what made Mel Gibson a star in the first place.
You still think star power brings in people? This isn't the 50's, no one gives a shit about any actor.
The only movies that do good are meme events (like Barbienheimer shit) and already strong brands like Spiderman or Avatar.
Unless you mean to tell me that Barbie did good because of Margot Robbie or collects flops like Pokemon cards, or Avatar Way of Water did well because of Sam Worthingtont, who hadn't been in a movie since the first Avatar.
Miller and the studio are out of touch boomers who still believe in star power = box office returns
The only one who might still have that skill is Tom Cruise
The last Mission Impossible flopped as well.
Zoomers don't care about any name that isn't a brand.
this is a MAD MAX branded movie you coping tard
Mad Max is not a popular brand.
Fury Road didn't do well either.
Fury Road didn't have Mel Gibson and word of mouth spread to chuds that it was a feminist movie. ignoring Furiosa and the rest of the wamen power bullshit, Tom Hardy was shit as Max.
Never said that’s what I think. I’m betting that’s what Miller thinks and that’s why he took the poor decisions he took.
Anya just needs to bulk up a few pounds, go to gym and get definition and then she's ready for Witch sequel where she's a naked witch luring Puritan teenagers into the woods
Furiosa is explicitly the main character of Nu-Max. Both of the Nu-Max films are feminist films first and make Max into a side character loser.
Is it weird like.. despite liking most of the mad max movies
The world and the characters don't really interest me that much when they're detached from Max?
Like I guess I just found out I only give a shit when Max is around
I think you just like handsome men as the leads. Max never talks and basically does the same shit as Furiosa
Yeah, probably some kind of wish fulfillment type of thing going on here watching a near silent dude kick ass
Antagonizing potential viewers isn’t gonna get people to watch your movie
i don't watch movies with female leads
Anya Taylor Joy said that she didn’t even get the chance to talk to Charlize Theron until after she filmed and that Anya was the one who reached out. Obviously Charlize isn’t obligated to do so, but I think it obviously shows she was fricking seething that she was recast
according to the plot summery furiosa starts as a literal minor in this movie. they have another even younger actress playing those parts but then using AI to overlay taylor's facial features or some shit. that said it is weird that theron wasn't used for the ending that leads seamlessly into fury road.
>using AI to overlay taylor's facial features or some shit
Well thats false for a start.
Scrotus from the game Iain the movie too.
Pretty much the only plus the entire film had and it just makes me thought I'd rather be playing the game than watching that shit
What happened to the horn guy? I liked him.
he was on a parachute glider when he got crushed by that propeller on the back of the war rig on her first mission
Octoboss and his raiders had the best air superiority gimmick, rip the coolest wasteland gang
>he's not only still got it, but in fact improved his craft
are people saying this unironically? cause I can't imagine this prequel being better than Fury Road so I have 0 interest in seeing it
Now this is good CG
what we got in Furiosa was crazy jarring and off putting
This pulls you in, Furiosa's kicks you out
>cause I can't imagine this prequel being better than Fury Road so I have 0 interest in seeing it
it's not better, but it's also not a waste of time.
Then it’s not something to see in theaters
It is BAFFLING how Fury Road looked so fricking good nearly a decade ago with the same budget as Furiosa. There are points in Furiosa where it looks like they are sitting in a still car with a projection screen in the back.
>It is BAFFLING how Fury Road looked so fricking good nearly a decade ago with the same budget as Furiosa.
Furiosa has a larger budget.
Furiosa arguably has a lower budget when adjusted for inflation but that doesn't necessarily translate 1-to-1 for every industry so basically the same budget
Not better but still good and one of the best action movies in years.
FR was an exceptional achievement, so there is a lot of room between it and a bad movie.
the entire movie looks like it was filmed on the mandalorian stage
yeah, it looks like all the cars are stationary and all the movement is just cg.
the tires moving and the camera shake looks so hilariously fake
they say it's because of COVID restrictions but I fail to see how that'd prevent shooting on location
>he doesn't know every movie uses that now
everything since covid looks like that. Like I rewatched GotG 1 2 and 3, and while three is still a good movie, it doesn't feel like a movie.
kek, the Deadline article about it starts like this
>FRIDAY AFTERNOON: Ouch, it’s looking really bad.
which is hilarious, then it continues
>Furiosa is possibly posting the lowest opening for a Memorial Day movie in 41 years with a 4-day between $31M-$35M. How the holy heck is that? If the George Miller-directed prequel comes in on the low end, the last time a No. 1 movie or Memorial Day opening title filed a 4-day gross take that was lower was back in 1983, when Return of the Jedi made $30.5M — and that was a lot of money back then.
I'm not actually surprised. I thought Fury Road was overrated af and managed to barely make double its budget despite absurd reviews and astroturfing. the idea that there was a large modern audience for this IP was always a delusion.
10 years later and I still don't get the hype for that headache inducing slop
Calling anything you don't like "slop" doesn't make it so.
Fury Road is the best action movie of the last 15 years.
Lmao! What's even the competition? John Wick?
There have been plenty of action movies moron.
John Wick, The Raid, Fast & Furious, Bond, Mission Impossible, Extraction, and a bunch of other stuff.
its simple: hype is purchased. it's part of the advertizing campaign.
if you don't pay critics off they will happily give good movies a bad review if there's the slightest chance of them getting away with it.
Reminder to all newhomosexuals:
Fury Road STARTED the woke mary sue movie line.
Movie was mid as frick, and ugly compared to Fury Road. Casting Thor was a huge mistake, that homie can't act for shit.
> Slopiosa flopped HARD
Best news all week. I hope Miller is sent into retirement and Mel Gibson buys the franchise.
every mad max movie is shit including fury road
The reason we see so many girl bosses is that statistically women are the biggest audience for streaming services.
Women don't want girlbosses though, women want period dramas about airheaded bawds shopping for a rich husband. Why are execs so fricking stupid?
>Women don't want girlbosses
True but out-of-touch execs don't know that
period dramas need either good writing or a gimmick, both of which requires creatives to have original ideas, meaning they're not under the control of the asset managers who own the entertainment industry.
the Favourite cost $15 million to make and made $95.9 million. if Hollywood knew how to shit out Female-focussed costume dramas that didn't suck we'd be getting get 4+ a week.
not him, but posting this supporting evidence for everyone in the thread whose interested.
I hate women
So much
It's unreal
It's dei bullshit. Consultants come in and tell them stories about nonexistent ppl that will definitely lap up all the bad fanfiction that they want to push.
it's not pure bullshit. advertizers come up with this stuff based on how they interpret data about the success of ad campaigns (because data about how effective an ad campaign was is the advertizing industry's equivalent of box office receipts).
but knowing that getting 20-50yo women to watch something is helpful for advertizing tells you nothing about what kinds of films to make or how to make them. if anything its proven that studios themselves have no meaningful impact on whether films are good, because "put a woman in the lead role" is as nuanced as their ability to shape product gets.
So we should blame advertisers for the fact that everything has to have some progressive commie bullshit being pushed? They push what you sell. If you sell garbage that no one wants to watch it won't sell. And why do you ignore the dei crap that big studios like Disney are so into. On a side note I'm curious now. What was the last decent movie Disney made?
And time after time women have shown they do not give a frick about action movies unless their boyfriends are interested and men are not interested in action movies with female leads. It just means no one watches.
>Female action leads
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaax
Also Ocean's 8 teaming up so many people no one would want to watch together. Hey, this is Danny Ocean's sister Debbie who ALSO has a crew doing the SAME bit but you know, did it FIRST. Meh
Most women don't give a crap about action movies. They won't seek it out on streaming either.
This is not true.
Same as "diversity", its not ade so it sales better, in fact it will sell less, but they will send their poisonous message through the movie.
Yes. Once they get that nose through the door it's over. They destroy everything they latch on just like locusts.
>Fury Road
>Female led movie where she needs to kill the toxic abusive male
>Furiosa
>Female led movie where she needs to kill the toxic abusive male
Any of you "anti-woke" gays that watch this slop should hang
Do they actually just repeat the same plot for this one?
if it would actually kino there would be some kind of buzz from critics who saw early screenings, there is none.
>valuing movie critics on anything in 2011+13
Nah. Even if I watch a movie and they happen to share my opinions, I put zero weight on their opinions. They have demonstrated their willingness to openly be influenced by politics and culture wards when scoring movies.
It's Mad Max, not Mad Maxine, ok?
did it bomb because ana is poision or because america doesnt like female led action films?
surely the markters will know and they will...... continue to make female action films that bomb kek
>ynr Star Wars sequels and Captain Marvel raking in all that cash pre-covid
I don't know what the frick happened. Maybe if Trump wins again people will be shamed into eating their goyslop again.
People saw Captain Marvel because they were led to believe it tied into the rest of the story. The sequel bombed. Star Wars Idk? I guess people still had hope it would be fixed at the end. I didn't even bother to see them at the theaters and A New Hope was the first movie I ever saw in theaters as a child. I even watched the re-releases in theaters when they came out. I never saw any Disney Wars in theaters and I'm glad I didn't waste the money. I still don't think Disney has made any profit on Star Wars considering all of the cost they paid for it. They even had to shut down the fancy Star Wars hotel due to lack of interest.
I am going insane with how many people are putting this right up there with Fury Road. It's not even close to as good wtf. The second half of the movie was so goddamn boring.
This is what people here don't get. Movies/shows like this are bankrolled by large Investment firms. As long as you put token minorities/ homosexuals or female leads prominently into your project, you have GUARANTEED returns without the need of an actual audience. That's why "go woke, go broke" was never a real thing.
Blackrock money is drying up.
How much longer do you think they can spend hundreds of millions to make movies to screen to audiences of no one?
I've seen what people "actually want to see" and it's dogshit like Avengers, Avatar and Barbie.
I'll take Furiosa over any of that shit, thank you very much.
What qualities do these shareholders and investors have that make them want to flood movies with Black folk, homosexuals, and ugly women?
a certain ethnicity
youre overestimating talkinghead CEOs capability for rational thought
There are a lot of really interesting conceptual sequences in Furiosa that are just absolutely failed by how rough the CG is. The entire sequence with the flying guys attacking the tanker was amazing but SO MUCH of it just felt like a video game. Every shot of Furiosa just looks like they put her in a giant green room.
Arguing about whether furiosa was the main character of Fury Road is pointless because ATJ is completely miscast and not believable in the role and can't carry the movie like Charlize Theron. Furiosa the character isn't an issue.
Why are you guys complaining MUH MAX as if he wasn't a fricking non-character througout the movies?
Besides de guy who went mad in the first movie, The Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome and Fury Road were about the setting itself, he only happened to be there.
are you just pretending for the sake of arguing? The entire narrative arc is based on Max's feelings. We have literal flashbacks and dream sequences from Max's perspective. Turning back to attack the Citadel after the wives find out the green place no longer exist is his decision. The movie starts off with Max being selfish and nihilistic and then finding purpose again, through the inspiration of Furiosa. Furiosa herself has NO character arc aside from slightly learning to trust Max.
The cam rip is pretty good in terms of quality
This movie is forgettable. Miller is fricked. Going out with Marysueosa is pretty cringe
Trannies are actually mad that Furiosa is not a dyke lol, they are mad that there's almost zero "diversity", you are a bunch of homosexuals.
The movie is good.
not with the amount of pajeet CGI i saw
not when fury road was like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAfR1oQp1l8
There's more noticable CGI than in Fury Roads, but its alot better than the shitty trailers they made for Furiosa, and thats comming from someone who was not planning to see this movie because of the trailers and the focus on Furiosa, maybe thats because I was expecting a shitty movie, but it turned out that it was a cool movie.
I'm considering seeing it just to try out the small local theater near me.
What other movies do they have? Watch older stuff if they show them.
I don't believe any of you morons have actually seen the movie
Have you seen the opening figures? No one has. This'll be on streaming in 2-3 weeks. Might as well wait until then.
>Have you seen the opening figures?
No, but I've seen the actual movie
So you're the one.
I just saw the movie last night. It's good but it's not nearly as good as Fury Road. It's split into chapters that are loosely chronologically related, mostly just going from when she was a kid (which is like an entire quarter of the movie) to how she becomes Imperator.
The CG is rough. The dialogue is about the same as Fury Road, entertaining enough but mostly just reusing the same world so nothing specific from Furiosa is going to stand out as memorable. There is a whole dialogue between Dementus (Hemsworth's character) and Furiosa that is just fricking boring in the last act. No one is going to remember a single thing they said a month from now.
>It's good but it's not nearly as good as Fury Road.
you can just say its bad anon
I'm not going to say it's bad, it's better than a lot of mediocre garbage. It's a 3.5/5, that's not bad. Fury Road is like a fricking 5. I'm just sick of people saying it's anywhere close to Fury Road.
The end dialogue between Furiosa and Dementus should have been cutted out, they should have just go directly to the "some people say it ended like this.... some people said it ended like that..." stuff and end with the real fate of Dementus, the whole dialogue added nothing.
Of course they haven't, they're tourists screaming buzzwords.
I watched this and Fury Road. I'd argue with any homosexual that Fury Road was a stain on the series on par with Thunderdome, and was one of the most homosexual, girlboss piles of waste I've ever seen.
Furiosa was not. It didn't pull modernity bullshit. It was an actual good female protagonist. It's still not even comparable to Road Warrior, but it's a good movie and many times better than Fury Road.
All that said, don't pay to watch it. Just pirate it when it's streaming. 2.5 hours is too fricking long to sit in a theater.
I asked why should I watch it. I still have no good answers.
Oh and what buzzwords?
I haven't seen any of the Mad Max movies and I watched this one expecting complete girlboss trash. The beginning has amazon like women and passive men, so I thought it was going to be another shit show. But the MC gets the shit kicked out of her, watches her girlboss mom die, and is generally powerless throughout the movie. The action scene on the tanker with the octopus raider was really cool. Pretty entertaining compared to Apes and about on par with a rewatch of Phantom Menace. That is, compared to the current slop, not bad.
The action scene with the flying squid boss and his goons was pretty fricking sick. I also enjoyed experiencing more of the worldbuilding like seeing Gas Town and the Bullet farm, and seeing more of the War Boys.
Everything in this shot including her skin, hair, and eyes look like CG. The excessive post-processing that gets layered over digital movies these days makes them look like utter dogshit.
they used CGI to create a smooth transition of Anya's face from the child actor who plays Furiosa as a kid. so even "adult" Anya is still 20% kid.
result: she looks weirder than normal for the whole movie because an elderly director got sold on the latest computer wizardry that no one wanted. it's like when Scorsese used 3D to make that pointless Hugo movie.
I honestly thought she was miles hotter in this than real life. Way less ayy. More youthful.
Is that what makes everything look like crap? Makes me think Millar was pissed about making this movie. I need to look up the lawsuit mentioned by another anon. I know nothing about it.
It seems like he kind of blended her with that dude too? The dude who looks like mad mad. Her eye here is like his eye in the driving scene near this.
(And incidentally in both cases not really achieving the eye-vibe they were aiming for which is presumably pic related)
So is Furiosa on track to make less than $40 million by the end of the four day? It could come in far under $150 million by the time its done and that doesn't even cover the budget without marketing. Ouch.
how was Hemsworth in this?
He's fun but he himself is never part of any interesting set piece. He's kind of just around.
I enjoyed him more in the second half of the movie.
Furiosa BTFO
There is only one queen of the Wasteland.
It’s an ultimate tragedy that the least woke wasteland woman bombed for being too woke during her debut movie
I don't know if it was that. Probably because nobody heard of the comic and Lori Petty wasn't a big name.
I’m going off some very vague memories from interviews with the cast and crew, but I could’ve sworn there was some element of some genuine level of societal backlash. Though yeah, Tank Girl was never exactly mainstream.
first hour is just torture porn and no anna in sight
for who is this joyless drag made
Could you actually fit a stripper clip in there with the scope covering the ejection port?
the CGI look atrocious. instead of outsourcing to pajeets you could just do practical again, whats the big deal. i'm hundred percent sure its not a money thing. fricking 168 million compared to Mad Max's 2 not even 5 million, mind you, 5 million australian monopoly money. even with inflation its like 20 million in ozzy funnycash and it looks ten million times better than this movie, more authentic, better and its fricking shorter by an hour. i wont sit through 2 and a half hours for some pajeet cgi feminist frickfest.
i'm glad its bombing.
It’s not a money thing it’s a time thing. CGI was never cheaper than practical but it’s a lot faster to do over doing all the action scenes in real life. That’s partly why movie budgets are so overinflated now.
I would argue it is an artistry thing, why bother doing this huge practical production when it will make X amount of money anyway? even if Furiosa ends up being a flop, other movies like it have been made and will continue being made because of their cheapness and thus high profit margins. CGI used to be expensive as frick, now it's dirt cheap (compared to making actual sets and special effects), most of the high budgets for these movies is allocated to ads and money laundering ("catering"). There are very few actual artists and craftsmen left in entertainment in general, nevermind Hollywood, which is basically shorthand for American movies.
atleast charlize looked okay with a buzzcut. the alien just looked weird and hard on the eyes.
It's weird to think that when the movie mad max was made, the 70s weren't '70s cars' they were just cars. So if mad max was made today he would be driving some shit like this
>modern computers all fried in the EMP
>electronics literally impossible to repair
Mad Max is correct for showing that the carburetor will survive all this e-crap.
>Fans make you rich and famous
>Shit all over fans
Ahahahahahaha
Just lmao
I want to believe the people saying its shit, but this board said Fury Road was feminist pushing propaganda when in reality its 2 hours of incompetent weak women being herded by competent strong men. The two male leads beat the 8 or so female ones in a fight, while handcuffed. The feminist green utopia turns out to have failed, and the old women all get killed without doing much of consequence. Its one of the least feminist action movies in the last decade.
Basically I don't believe you people
Nta but I guess it depends on whether you conceptualise “woke” as more of a narrative and power fantasy thing. Personally I agree with you though, like the entire Furiosa plot would’ve ended with an ugly cripple screaming incoherently after realising the place she wanted to escape to is as fricked as everywhere else in the wasteland if it wasn’t for Max having a 200 IQ impulse moment and realising that Joe had overcommitted so many of his forces that the Citadel was basically undefended. Which strictly speaking wasn’t true, there seemed to be SOME War Boys and the dwarf left at the Citadel, but the dwarf just gives up when the Citadel’s crowds cheer Joe’s death.
I think the main criticisms are
>The plot is more about what Furiosa wants than what Max wants
>WHO KILLED THE WORLD? and Joe/Bullet Farmer/People Eater being stand-ins for critiques of men in power
>War Boy culture and Joe’s decrepitude being some sort of toxic masculinity deconstruction
>The last scene being treated like this triumphant moment instead of Furiosa squandering resources for brownie points
Anyway, I think if anything Furiosa is less “woke” than Fury Road because in it Dementus and Joe feel more like the main characters than Furiosa, Furiosa mentors under and falls in love with a male character at one point, and Furiosa gets repeatedly fricked up and I do think the movie tries to make the point she’s as empty as her enemies.
The worst I can say is that the scene where Furiosa cuts off her arm and escapes offscreen is peak plot armour, and that the movie ultimately excuses everything she does because she does return to rescue the wives.
Furiosa is even less woke than Fury Road.
Part of the success of the movie was discovering strange places and people. They do a second movie with a different main character, but its in the same fricking place with the same fricking people, and you already know where it ends because its a prequel.
This is more problematic than having a woman as lead
I’m
Sure the movie is fine but a prequel with Furiousa is just an odd choice
>women in post apocalyptic world being anything other than slaves
these movies will never work
>women girlboss women girlboss women girlboss women girlboss!!!
What is it about Mad Max that attracts these kinds of posters? Is it just because it's a movie with a lot of cars?
I suspect that there's alot of woke troony homosexuals who are mad that this movie is not woke like they expected, they seem quite upset that Furiosa is not a dyke and that she was being romantic with a man, a white man at that.
The other ones must be memesters.
never watching wokeslop. hollywood will never learn. major kek at the genuine surprise of the hollywood feminists who in their hubris thought the world would love mad maxi pad. what's next?
>Henrietta Pooter: A Harry Potter Saga
>Frieda Baggins: A Bilbo Baggins Saga
>Superwoman: A Superman Saga
>Batwoman: A Batman Saga
dc already has like twenty "batman without batman" tv series
>improved his craft
>has bad CGI, worse car chases and poor editing
>improved
The movie was alright but this felt like a big step down from Fury Road, George didn’t go all out with shooting on location like Fury Road and it shows badly.
Women who want to watch an action movie are nonexistant, they only exist apparently in george millers head and its completely insane he got to make TWO shitty feminist movies that ruin mad max forever.
Does anyone have a screenshot of Furiosa in the leather jacket with the black/silver forehead paint
dickyosa was more believable at acting than anya
not paying money for a girlboss movie; no matter the director.
I know, I know. Ughhh. Frustrating right? I'm just not going to pay for a movie that says women belong anywhere besides the home and family.
>is supposed to be Furiosas movie
>gets mogged by her mother
>gets mogged by Dementus
>gets mogged by Dementus's random female henchman who's more furious than her
>gets mogged by some truck driver who's more heroic and gifts her everything
Girlboss?
More like tomboy concubine. They could have called this movie Wasteland: War of the 3 fortresses and id just assume the girl happened to be the eyes for the audience to observe the more interesting characters.
>Wasteland: War of the 3 fortresses
You seem to be the best marketer here, and I am now thinking about pirating this film.
everyone here's probably going to pirate it then switch it off during the overlong section of the movie where she's a child.
Im not, i just saw it today and recognised what the movie really is. Its actually incredible how poor it is in terms of being her characters origin story, but im not complaining since i care more about the wasteland warlords.
The first half hour is good for her, then she gets washed into the grander scheme of things and whatever character development was supposed to happen is left behind in a 10-18 year time skip.
If nothing else, the movie is worth watching for the Octoboss bike/gliders vs war rig scene.
Your argument loses all validity the second you say girlboss
Whats the Miller obsession with Furiosa?
Why does she have to sideline Mad max in two movies now?
were there any men in green place?
Yes. No one who hates this movie watched it I swear to God
It's Fury Road all over again
This whole board is all pre-canned meme answers, culture war brainrot and bots, nowadays.
It's genuinely impossible to discuss Cinemaphile Television & Film™.
I was thinking about it, this is why the movie bombed. Not because these people are moronic (They are) but because the byline of "Mad Max without Max but instead a female child" instantly turns customers off because of what Hollywood has trained the general audience on.
That byline invokes garbage like Ghostbusters 2016, The Force Awakens, or Predator 2018. People don't even want to watch a trailer for a movie with that description, they're sick of it. It doesn't matter if the movie is fantastic, this kind of movie needed to come out in the nineties before people were trained to see all movies like this as garage.
you talk like a israelite
Oh I'm sorry, one moment:
Blackpilled consoomers think this is wokeslopcoded and it being based and tedpilled can't goldpill them because of how much goyslop they've consoomed
I dont' disagree, but i remember when Fury Road came out, plenty of people (normies, not Cinemaphile schizos) wanted more of Furiosa.
They just took too fricking long.
Also Fury Road was also somewhat of a flop, so the franchise just isn't all that strong in general.
Yeah, this movie coming out in 2018 would have done it a lot of favors. I saw Fury Road in high school and all my friends I saw it with at in their careers and living with their girlfriends and boyfriends now. It's really weird
you're defending an ugly chick and shitty CGI. why?
It isn't about people being 'trained'. It's largely reflective of the very real differences between the two sexes. One thing is believable, the other is not, it does not require any training to notice.
>this is why the movie bombed
But it didn't. Everywhere else is positive towards Furiosa besides the notoriously contrarian Cinemaphile. The only thing people are really criticizing is it's relative overuse of CGI compared to Fury Road.
It is not doing well financially at all and that matters if you want a sequel
Fury Road didn't do financially well either and here we are discussing a prequel.
they only showed women in fury road and trailers
Yes, but I don't remember how many I saw.
It was about half the population
The only one who was insanely out of place was the obese person
>Women don't like male orientated movies
>Men don't like male orientated movies but with femshit girlboss crap rammed up in it
What do you mean that Hollypedo keeps making movies that essentially cater to nobody and so nobody watches!!???
they started doing this because they were desperate even before covid.
nobody asked for the movie
people won't see girl boss movies
you can call me sexist or a chud but money talks and girl boss movies are box office poison.
Here's your point but without the moron filter on:
why beat around the bush?
in simpler terms
girl boss = box office poison
Why do they keep hiring Anya ? Every single movie she's in bombs. She's so bad I won't even bother pirate the crap she's in
Ugly walled hag
Me filming with my phone
there are like three female movie stars under 30. FloPugh wouldn't have been any more plausible as young Charlize Theron than Anya, and its not clear if Zendaya even counts any more after Challengers flopped despite following Dunc 2.
there's a woke fatigue. yeah, I know, the film is not really woke, but turning the protagonist of the franchise from male to female will have a lot of people going "oh they're doing this again" because they've been through this shit many times. if the it was a Max film, it would have done numbers.
>Fury Road expanded the universe in fun and interesting ways, really unique cast and world building
>Furiosa is just explaining the things setup in Fury Road, adds nothing to the overall world and feels redundant in some areas
the scope doesnt even match the direction of the rest of the rifle lol
>best action movie of the last 15 years.
That's Top Gun 2
Also good action moments, but Fury Road is significantly better shot.
>CGI slop girlboss loving r*dditors makes a thread
>gets btfo the entire time
sad. many such cases.
>First movie gets popular because Charlize Theron, Bane man, and practical effects
>Sequel has one of these elements
>"OMG why did it flop?"
Not even the reasons why the first one was a success
The first one is just good overall and has a frickton of CGI as well
I mean whatever the reason was, why you, as an anon, draw such poorly made conclusions as to why something does well and something doesn't, good sir? from where does it come such a poor statement of things?
A lot of words were typed but nothing was said. LLM training perhaps?
The first was not even that big of a commercial success.
It won at the oscars and had some good word of mouth, but it didn't do spectacularly at the box office despite all that.
Kind of like Blade Runner, both movies flopped, but since they're beloved people assume they did well.
>Uses time skips to avoid solving some of the most interesting points in the plot
>Everyone accepts her in the citadel despite being one of Joes wifes (In the time skip is explained why right....)
>Censored as frick
>Skips the final battle
>Overusing CGI (The dogs killed the movie for me)
>Not Max dude feels out of place as frick
>Literally Disneys Mad Max
She posed as a boy for a while after she escaped from the mutant brother.
>Director proves he's not only still got it, but in fact improved his craft
Clearly not.
I’m not box office expert by any mean but aren’t most movies bombing now? It’s weird. Barbie and Oppenheimer feel like flukes
I personally don't understand Oppenheimer's success but Barbie is/was very culturally relevant. it's a movie about the current zeitgeist.
the film was ok, but a lot of CGI were godawful
It's a sequel? there's no 2 in the title bro
>moron hires meme actress
>omegas pretend this makes it good
>actually makes it bad instead
standard 2020s H*llyw**d movie
I loved how they had to use CGI for foids hopping on horses and lifting motorcycles up kek.
Furiosa herself wasn't actually terrible, neither was Immortan Joe, everyone else sucked ass. Dementus got a few small laughs but aside from that he was just a crazy plot armor until convenient villain of the week, not compelling at all. With better writing Hemsworth could have landed better I'm sure. Jack was such a terrible character and actor, I was laughing watching him just relaxedly drive with zero expression on his face while people are dying around him and shooting at him.
All the action felt so cartoony and low-budget and weightless.
It revealed basically nothing about the world and gave us nothing new. Okay now we've actually seen Gastown and the Bullet Farm up close. And there were some raiders who used parachutes. Who gives a shit? Where is the endless frothing creativity from Fury Road? And if your response is "well its a prequel" then don't make it a prequel if you can't find a way to add to the fricking story/universe move forward with the story frick man.
God this movie was so shit. Worse than Fury Road in every aspect, which is what I was afraid of. I've seen Fury Road like 10 times, feel no need to watch this one ever again. F
Representation matters and it's hard to identify with the lead character. It's not too much to ask for movies with lead characters that look like me (white male)
>make slop no one asked for
Good I don't care if he's "still got it" when he's making trash like this. Fury Road was trash as well sidelining Max for Furiosa and the women who don't need no man. I hope his career is dead. Dead!
Did it bomb? It's got pretty great numbers on all the review sites.
>no sequel
Good. More girlboss crap is unwelcome. Let their trite spew flounder and evaporate.
I thought Fury Road was boring and this is about the same bag, it has lots of attitude but is pretty dour and long winded. The movie is directed very well and Miller took the polar opposite approach he did on the previous one, instead of 50 cuts per minute where every physical action is hacked together out of several shots there are a long sweeping shots which involve multiple characters into a single sequence, this is probably why the film features much more CGI. One thing that really bothered me was that it felt like the movie was dropping frames inexplicably a lot, it could be a result of Miller's technique of speeding footage up but it was all over the place in scenes where it didn't belong and felt like they had to fudge it a lot to get actions to connect when a lot of things happen in one shot. The most beautiful moment in the film was when Furiosa's mother was observing someone and a sandstorm was coming up behind her, that looked very real.
His obsession with making everything female led down to the production of the movie was baffling. He honed his craft to pander to an audience that doesn't exist.
It was okay. Should've just been about Immortan and Dementus though, they were the best parts.
