Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road one of my favourite action films of all time. Furiosa is good but it has its pros and cons.
What I liked about this film is that is gave us a strong background into Furiosa during her younger years and it builds on the world we saw in Mad Max: Fury Road. It was great to see the towns, biker gangs and of course to witness fun action scenes. It's clear that Furiosa tried to strike a balance between action and story which I usually prefer.
What I didn't like as much was the overuse of green screen and CGI which wasn't always well done and took me out of the film at times. Controversially, I wasn't the biggest fan of Chris Hemsworth's Dr Dementus. Admittedly, I wasn't a fan of Thor since his comedic turn in Ragnarock, nor was I a fan of Jason Momoa's Dante in Fast X and I can say that Dr Dementus fits the Mad Max world much more than those characters suited their worlds but I just wasn't a huge fan of the comedic portrayal of the character.
Overall, Furiosa is a good film and I'm keen to see more of Mad Max world but there were a few things that stopped me from REALLY liking it or comparing it to the first.
