Mad Max: Fury Road is one of the most exhilarating and simply one of the greatest action films of all time. So going into Furiosa I was really excited for it. While that excitement of the first film wasn't met, the style was there in spades. The two films look very similar and that style is beautiful to look at and takes this film where it wouldn't have gone otherwise.
While the film looks beautiful because the cinematography, it is quite boring because of the pacing of the screenplay. Scenes in this film seem to not know when to end. Dementus (Chris Hemsworth giving one of his best performances) will stop his dialogue and the scene should cut, instead it drags on for another pointless 1-2 minutes to show us nothing. The film could've easily been edited down to at least 2 hours.
While I thought Chris Hemsworth was fantastic, I didn't feel the same of Anya-Taylor Joy. She is a fantastic actor and she's just ok in this. Hemsworth clearly steals the film.
I never thought that this would live up to the greatness of Fury Road but my hope was that it would at least give a similar exciting experience. This is nothing like Fury Road other than the cinematography. So if you go into this film thinking that you'll be slightly disappointed. While I liked this film I couldn't help but be disappointed by the final result. Enjoy it for the style and a crazy Chris Hemsworth.
