Furiosa is a great movie overall. I enjoyed it for the most part. Tbh it barely loses out to Fury Road.
Let's start with the good bits. The prequel actually adds lore to the Fury Road universe, by showing us Gas Town, Bullet Farm, more inner workings from the Citadel, War Rigs, and so on. And most of all it does all of this without undermining the legend that is Immortan Joe. It succeeds here thanks to the introduction of a new villain, Dementus who takes much of the blame for her origin story. Hence, it doesn't interfere with or undermine the mystique of Immortan Joe.
The plot is more about survival in the wasteland between different psychopathic parties than actual revenge. Action scenes were great and still managed to add to the world-building.
My nitpicks are few, but annoy me more than they should. This movie creates some time line inconsistencies (mainly thorough 2 scenes) that you have to take mental miles of detours to explain away. They can be explained, but are a poor choice regardless. The movie would've been better without these particular nods to Fury Road.
