I have never been moved by a film like Furiosa in a long time. Even as a fan of Fury Road, I was still blown away and have seen it three times. Never expected a movie to do that for me. Lots of box office bomb talk, but that is just the present. I am glad we got this at the very least, and it will be looked at better and better as time goes on.

First thing I thought with Praetorian Jack was he is like Max and how that just added another dimension and dynamic to his and Furiosas characters and story in Fury Road that wasn't there before. Which is a good thing as Furiosa really does make a good prequel to Fury Road and like Miller is saying you watch Furiosa go straight into Fury Road . This is the first prequel I have watched which I think truly elevates the previous films characters. Go watch Furiosa and see the two films as one long story. Good film.

The box office for Furiosa is so unfortunate right now. It seems that most people who have gone to see it have enjoyed it but the interest just doesn't seem to be quite there for most people. Which I think is a mix of the trailers showcasing unfinished vfx, which created pretty bad word of mouth before the movie even released, and the fact that general audiences weren't really craving a prequel/side story for Furiosa herself. Hopefully the reception is good enough to allow for The Wasteland to start production. But even if Furiosa is the last Mad Max movie we see, I think it's a worthy addition to the mythos and will be remembered as a legendary final entry into one of the greatest movie series in history.
@AnthonyPi1999 20 күн бұрын
Who would possibly green light it? Furiosa is going to lose WB over a hundred million, even with creative accounting. It’s going to be a huge financial disaster. He should have made a sequel years ago, not a prequel that no one asked for (and even then, Fury Road itself lost money).
@kevinthunder3375 20 күн бұрын
@@AnthonyPi1999a ton of people were interested in Furiosa spin-off, but due to a fallout with the studio, it didn't get off the ground until recently. So, they definitely didn't strike while the iron was hot. Plus, Charlize Theron embodied the character so we'll and this movie lacks Theron. Then there is the economy, the rising costs of movie theatres, and the rise of streaming. George Miller envisioned Fury Road as the end of a second trilogy. He wanted a make a Furiosa prequel and a Max prequel that leads into it. Guess we won't get Wasteland now.

If he's serious about making a justice league movie this could be the back up plan to James Gunn's universe. If he was to make the first movie then after wards it was a series.
