It was a good solid instalment. Maybe not as awe inspiring as the first movie simply because we’re now familiar with the visuals, but solid. More of what already worked. Nice that it gives some backstory and information on the geopolitical situation of the area.
One minor quirk was I didn’t like a few scenes where Hemsworth would try to play his character in a goofy way a la Jack Sparrow.
I swear they dubbed in Charlene Theron’s voice for Anya a time or two.
One thing I haven’t seen mentioned enough is how well it will work with Fury Road for first time viewers.
Think of Fury Road as the sequel and this becomes an awesome pair of films.
The Furiosa plot through the films is great and the elevation of the action and its stakes in Fury Road after the plot foundations in Furiosa make for a brilliant “sequel”.
