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.
It was never going to be as good as Fury Road. There was just no way. So he didn't try. And I appreciate that. A few on the CG scenes were spotty, but it was better than some in the franchise, not as good as others. All in all, I enjoyed it and thought it was a ton of fun.
I'm super happy that it wasn't like Fury Road. I love Fury Road, but I don't want to see any more attempts at recapturing that lightning, because it never worked well.
Furiosa is a great installment because it's different and offers more than just action. One of the reasons I loved the first three films is them showing the post-apocalyptic world, giving us lore freaks something to munch over.
