Immediate Response: Furiosa- A Mad Max Saga

 A few days late on this one, but I made the time.

Should you?

The Good

* The Film has all of the great style, details and world-building you expect from a Mad Max Film.

* The Actresses playing Furiosa (since de-aging Charlize Theron would have been distracting) do a great job.  Anya Taylor-Joy is the main one and she's great at portraying so much with so little dialog.

* Chris Hemsworth is great (again) as a Villain.  His Dementus is pure charismatic chaos.  I really want to see more of him.

* A bunch of new Characters make the established world of Fury Road feel even more full.

* Great Action and Set Pieces- as you'd expect.


The Bad

* We see another son of Immortan Joe here who is absent from Fury Road.  Since he seems to survive here, what happens?

* As good as the double for Immortan Joe is, I can't help but miss the late Actor that played him.  Less nerdy people (and those that didn't rewatch Fury Road in the last 48 hours) won't even notice though.

* The Max Cameo was just kind of there.

* It needed more Doof Warrior.  Every Film does though.


A very enjoyable Film that shows just how good George Miller truly is.  

Will we get more Mad Max any time soon?
