Instabuy for me on both!

 

Fury Road is masterclass in action filmmaking. Infinitely rewatchable!

 

Furiosa didn't quite reach the same highs, but it's a terrific companion piece that provides excellent context and setup for the events that lead into Fury Road.

It's sad that Furiosa hasn't done well in theaters as it's a great flick. The mistake they made is coming out with this 9 years after Fury Road, especially when you consider George Miller had this written at the same time. I've read he was going to make Furiosa a anime companion to FR.

Absolutely agree with you on this. What a wild and awesome ride.

Yeah, I was also sad to see that it did not perfom so well. I really think cinema is dying, as even the great summer blockbuster do no longer perform. The waiting time surely did not help, especially sind this was a prequel to Fury Road and did not feature Max. I also suspect that some people are getting tired of the fact that so many movies now have female leads, I don't mind that, as long as it is done right and I think in Furiosa it worked well, especially since they had Anya Taylor-Joy 😍.

I think the whole girl boss, infallible female lead thing may have been a factor in it's performance, as people assumed that's what it was. I can understand people getting tired of that, but as you said, Furiosa did it the right way. Anya Taylor-Joy was excellent in it, as usual.

I think the same, this will be an instant purchase.

 

And in my honest opinion, in general terms, Furiosa for me is a better movie than Fury Road.

 

A real shame that this came to the cinema so late.

It looks like the new Bad Boys is doing really well, though.  People just weren’t into this, unfortunately.  I think it was mostly word of mouth that it wasn’t even attempting to be, or to top, Fury Road.  I think the reviews made it sound like something you didn’t necessarily need to see on a big screen.  Which was a big draw for Fury Road: it HAD to be seen on the biggest screen possible.

 

I think Furiosa justifies the big screen, but I think word of mouth/reviews made it seem as if that wasn’t the case.

Furiosa definitely deserved to do much better at the box office, but you're right mate, it should have come out at least 5-years ago. It was always going to be a tougher sell without it being a Max led/driven story, but in today's climate where people can only be coaxed out of their homes for the assured crowd-pleasing blockbusters, the film was never going to put bums on seats, given it also features a relatively unknown actress in the lead role. It would have possibly done better at the box office with Charlize in the lead, but we'll never know now. (not taking anything away from Anya though, she was absolutely fantastic and completely owned it).

As much as I love the flick and will be revisiting it multiple times, I do actually feel Furiosa's story would have been better told in a TV or limited series format.

 

Without delving too deep into spoiler territory, the way the story spans multiple decades, it takes many shortcuts and jumps in time to squeeze this epic tale into a 2.5 hour flick. Spending more time learning about life in the tranquillity of the green place, juxtaposed against the cruelty and harshness of life on the road with Dementus, could have made the last act all that more impactful.

 

Of course, this would have probably come at the expense of the vehicular carnage that was budgeted for with a theatrical experience (which is glorious btw), but I really do think this could have been one of the greatest stories every told if it were given this kind of treatment.
