I thought it was pretty entertaining, though you had to have seen the previous movies to make sense of it
Cinema ticket + gas to drive to a decent cinema + popcorn now is more expensive than 4K UHD disc. And thats if you go alone.
Not wasting time on sitting in crowded room with people talking, looking at their phones, going to loo and generally being irritating cinema goers.
I’ll watch it later on on disc. Same with every other movie released this year. Maybe except Romulus, but I’ll wait for reviews of Romulus before buying ticket.
Movie that uses a side character and tries to ride the coat tails of main character of saga to get people to come watch. I heard it wasn’t a bad movie but had a story that didn’t need to be told or anyone cared about. So personally I had no interest in watching or wasting 50 dollars to go see it
I enjoyed it folks. I cant understand Hollywood’s preoccupation of replacing strong male characters with chicks though. Even so, its better than last one. And yanky accents??
The trouble is that the Mad Max thing has been done to death. Thunder dome, Fury Road And now Furiosa all feel like they are just slight variations of the same script.
My expectations weren’t high for Furiosa, but my girlfriend and I went to see it with some friends because it was something to do and I thoroughly enjoyed the flick. Sometimes certain really good movies just don’t quite hit for many reasons. This just might be one of those. I’d hate to think it’s a portent for things to come.
Not sure a lot of people asked for a prequel to a side character from one of four Mad Max films. Looks good and I enjoy the actress but I like more Mad Max in my Mad Max films.
I think it won’t be long before the whole movie entertainment business collapses because of the rising cost of everything. Not just tickets and snacks in the theater but hiw much it costs to make these films and not making that money back. Also most kids these days would rather stream or pirate the movie online than pay anything. I worked with a younger guy who thought it was funny I’d go see movies. He was like why pay 10$ when I can send u a link to watch it for free the day after it’s in theaters.
I go to the movies alot and I can’t remember the last time it was full maybe 2019 for endgame, its not so much the interest has wained but more the prices are mental
They’d probably have more attendees if they just stopped serving food and allowed you to bring in your own
I’m a huge Mad Max, fan and I just wasn’t interested in what this movie is. If it was a Mad Max film with Mad Max in it, I would have gone to see it no matter what the price is.
Or….hear me out. Stop. Making. Prequels. The excitement kinda goes away when we know the main character(s) are going to survive since they were alive in the original movie.
They keep towing the line with calling these movies failures – but the real truth is that people don’t like going to the theaters anymore and it doesn’t help that Hollywood keeps churning out the same old tropes and ideas. How many times will they milk the Mad Max franchise? Lol – how many FF movies will there be? How many remakes do they do every year?
It cost $48 for my children and I to see Garfield. That’s two child tickets, an adult and sneaking in our own snacks. Maybe that’s the problem, the prices to see a movie are ridiculous!

Deadpool wolverine will save cinema
Thanks but I’ve already seen Mad Max

Who wants to sit in assigned reserve seating? I sure don’t.
We went last night and really enjoyed it
The book was way better 😁
Maybe they should’ve put, I dunno, Mad Max in it? And maybe he could have been played by, I dunno, Mel Gibson for example?
it was a bit wierd with a different actress so soon after with fury road fresh in mind .
Watch for the whistle in the woods
Same one Mel used in the
Thunder Dome
Solid overall 8.5 ⭐️s outta 10
The film’s brilliant, saw it on Sunday.
Forget it was released the same day as Garfield. Do you even know how the takings work?
The trouble is that the Mad Max thing has been done to death. Thunder dome, Fury Road And now Furiosa all feel like they are just slight variations of the same script.
Which is a problem for the studios, but not the average person. First world problem.
Cracking film recommend people see it.
It was a great movie, in my opinion.
Need some good writers. Alot of the good ones probably retired now.
Just wait till Deadpool and Wolverine comes out. 😉
First Mad Max movie with a storyline, not just survival of the protagonist. Great movie.

Terrific movie , go see it .
I’m just going to wait and buy it when it comes out to add to my collection. That will at least support the cost of making the movie somewhat.
Neither are movies I have any interest in. So. Maybe they should be making more interesting movies.

Maybe this will be a “Signal” for the Studios to produce something significant or original instead of finding ways to rehash movies from the 80’s…..
Movie is good 8/10 i realy liked it… But nowdays that does not mean succsess in theaters…

Imagine our shock. A movie no one asked for or wanted, in the mad max universe…. Without Mad Max. 😂😂😂😂
Crap film even having well known actors couldn’t save it it’s about time they left the mad max franchise alone

With inflation people are making sacrifices and going to the theater is probably on the chopping block.
This movie was so good! shame People are going to movie theaters anymore and just waiting at home to order movies off of cable
