Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga tries to make an action film for "modern audiences" set in the Mad Max world of films.
Director George Miller really phoned it in for this one. He must have had a major paycheck to throw away his franchise like this. It's full of horrible CG and bad acting. The film really could have used some reshoots. Also, the film's cinematography is just all over the place. Most of the blue shots weren't shot in that light but instead were obviously color-graded.
Chris Hemsworth overacts in all of the scenes he was in. He was never a great actor in Thor, as he just looked the part. Alya Browne plays the Young Furiosa and has the issue Princess Leia had in the Obi-Wan Disney+ show. The issue is that no one will believe this tiny little girl is able to get the better of full-grown men. The film also spent too long in the prologue dealing with Young Furiosa, it's over an hour long. We get it.
While Anya Taylor-Joy is beautiful and all she's not as cool as Charlize Theron. She is a well-known action star while Joy is almost too feminine to play the role. At least with Captain Marvel they made Brie Larson actually do some weight training. Joy looks like she hasn't picked up a fork to eat her tofu salad.
I loved Mad Max: Fury Road and you'd think that the next film would be right up my alley but it's clear from Miller and Warner Brothers that I'm no longer their target demographic. The problem with prequels is everyone knows who will survive. If the critics say it's awesome and the confirmed fan scores say it's awesome why is the box office struggling? Result: C-
