George Miller is a god and serves up another excellent post-apocalyptic blast. If Fury Road was a 10, this is a very solid 9! Another great visually lavish cinematic experience, of which there won't be many this year, so don't hesitate any longer and head on over! It tells the revenge story of a young Furiosa in an attractive post-apocalyptic world. All the factions and how they work is very fun and interesting (I liked the costumes and the visuals of all the characters, they were properly insane). It's got an intense and adrenaline-packed pace, and even though the first big action scene comes somewhere before the halfway point, it's decently suspenseful and engaging until then, there's simply no danger of boredom. Anya Taylor Joy is excellent as always, and here she doesn’t even have to speak properly, her look was enough to express all the emotions perfectly. Thor a.k.a. Dementus gives the best performance of his career, he really enjoys the madman perfectly. Visually it's again very intense, the music is beautifully ear-splitting, the action scenes surprise with more and more crazy ideas, and you enjoy every shot and moment. There’s even one delightful small cameo, and the ending with the living tree was awesome! Furiosa with Dune 2 and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is clearly the king of this year's blockbusters. There are plenty of epic moments that will make me very happy to watch Furiosa again. 9/10.

An excellent flashback to Fury Road. It lacks Max Rockatansky, it lacks the frenetic pace, but the story is more substantial. Furiosa explains the laws of the imagined world. George Miller seems to realize that he skipped over a lot of things and presented them as fact without showing them. He describes a fragile symbiosis that is disrupted by Chris Hemsworth's Dementus, one of the best creations of his career. If it's true that the previous Mad Max was mostly about Furiosa then Furiosa is mostly about the foxy Dementus. He's the one who shows the world turning into an oil-soaked desert. Anya Taylor-Joy is good, but the little girl who plays her when she was young is even better. Weaker music and slightly worse visual effects. Still, very good.

A desert adventure for big boys and fiery girls. While the snippets from Fury Road during the closing credits recalled the tank scene from The Last Crusade, what came before was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, missing only Bravestone in a buggy and a flock of aggressive ostriches. But I won’t complain about the special effects, given how charmingly frantic, energetic, rule-free, and playful the details were in the costumes, masks, and auto-moto park (like the cut-outs in Immortan Joe's advisor’s suit, used to stimulate his nipples, or the extension of Tom Burke's real scar above his lip). The finale, where Dementus Hur, without his team but still with a nose covering half of New South Wales, was chatting with his Nemesis, only underscored George Miller's creed that dialogue slows down a film. “Ladies and gentlemen! Start your engines!”

Miller finally has the opportunity (but unfortunately also for the last time) to capitalize on far greater ambitions than to present an action movie with a long journey or a big escape for the fifth time. Not that Furiosa wasn't action-packed, there was traveling back and forth in it, not fleeing wherever the script demands. But everything happens to proper and memorable characters, there are several plot twists hidden in the turns, and the perfectly graded chase scene serves not as the climax, but as the spice of a suspenseful plot, thrown in front of the audience at the right moment. Regular doses of bizarreness and tough supporting characters bother me similarly to last time, but for the first time, I feel that the saga speaks to me deeper than at first glance.

Furiosa was still a child when she was taken from her home. She grew up surrounded by violence and madness, but she never stopped wanting revenge. In the wasteland, a war is brewing between two armies of brutal dictators, and Furiosa intends to be on the front lines. George Miller returns to a harsh post-apocalyptic world, but in a slightly different way than you might expect. There's still plenty of action, and there are so many ideas in a single scene that other Hollywood blockbusters could live off of it for years. However, this time around there are more complex characters and, above all, a greater effort to immerse yourself in a world full of chaos and discover that it too has its own order. Miller delivers another one of his visually lavish and uncompromising visions, and he knows he can afford not to pander to audiences who expect nothing more than more of what they got last time.
