Furiosa (2024)- I've been a huge Mad Max fan since I was a kid, and even though the lengthy runtime and being a prequel turned me off, I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and watch it. Not bad. There's a lot of good action sequences, and while not on the level of Fury Road or MM2, they're still among the best I've seen in a long time.
Now for the bad stuff: it does get repetitive, plus being a prequel its totally predictable. Also it tends to be episodic. Many scenes just end in an anti-climatic fadeout. I would rank this as my #4 of the franchise (MM2 still the best, the original being second best, then Fury Road is my #3). All in all, even a lesser Mad Max movie (especially without the titular character) is still way better than most of what's currently out there. Rating: 7.5/10
