Critical Reception

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga has received generally positive reviews from critics, with many praising George Miller's return to the post-apocalyptic world and the film's stunning visuals and action sequences. However, some critics noted that it struggled to reach the same heights as its predecessor, 'Mad Max: Fury Road,' with comparisons often highlighting differences in pacing and character focus. Anya Taylor-Joy's performance as Furiosa was widely acclaimed, as was Chris Hemsworth's turn as the villainous Dementus.

What Reviewers Say

  • Praised for its spectacular action set pieces and distinctive visual style.

  • Anya Taylor-Joy delivers a commanding performance as the younger Furiosa.

  • While visually impressive, some found it lacked the relentless momentum of 'Fury Road'.

Google audience: Audiences generally appreciate the film's epic scope, breathtaking action, and the strong performances from the lead actors. Many enjoyed the continuation of the Mad Max universe, though some expressed that it didn't quite capture the same magic as 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.

**Wonder Woman ** Lately, it seems Hollywood has been casting great actresses in strong female roles but pairing them with subpar writing. This movie is not one of those. I went in with the mindset of "here we go again," but came out sur...

This installment of the Mad Max saga was disappointing. Personally, I would have preferred a continuation of Furiosa's story with Charlize Theron rather than an origin story. However, once Anya Taylor-Joy was cast, my excitement returned. H...

Yeah, Furiosa. What a furious young lady. Thor does a good job. Well executed lore and world building. Sure does suck to be a lady in this wasteland. Fun to see education breakdown. Didn't even mind the runtime so maybe it should be a 10.

I really enjoyed this film! It is _a lot_ of explosions and brutality, but it was continually compelling — even as I questioned why I was so invested. At 2h20m it definitely made me feel my sleepy age (I saw it on my 39th birthday, and I wa...

Furiosa (⭐⭐⭐⭐) is a relentless, adrenaline-pumping actioner from #GeorgeMiller, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The film's action sequences are brutal, exciting, and innovative, featuring engaging set pieces and characters. Despite a s...
