I think most people who saw this movie loved Fury Road and that is why they went and saw this. That was my main reason. The trailers did not really get my hyped but I put that aside and went because I loved Fury Road that much to still give it a shot and hope for the best.
What I got was an almost 3hr movie that I nearly fell asleep in during one of the action scenes.
Firstly Anna Taylor Joy doesn't show up until an HOUR into this film.... WHY?!? Did we need an entire hour to show Furiousa as a little kid? Also, SPOILERS but after she escapes as a child she just hangs at at Immorton Joe's place undercover for years? WHY?! Why would she not just return to her home after she escaped??
There is also a sort of love story that falls flat at a carpet and I can't even remember the characters name. Doesn't matter though cause he's dead and the actor was horrible.
They also skip over Furiousa training and a 40day war. Why?!? Seems like that would've been cool to see.
But what REALLY killed this movie for me is the CGI. I know there was a ton in Fury Road but it felt less noticeable. The CGI here is AWFUL. Like maybe the worst I've seen in any recent blockbuster. It basically removes all tension and excitement from every action scene because you can clearly see it's all fake. The fire particularly looked EMBARRASSINGLY bad. I would cringe anytime someone was on fire, which was a lot.
Then after Furiousa I saw Fall Guy, a movie I was 100% uninterested in seeing, and you know what? Fall guy is a better more exciting action movie than Furiousa because the stunt look real. When a person is on fire on screen, it is an actual stunt man on fire and not CGI. When there was a chase scene, it was real, falling out a building? Real too.
The action scenes in Fall Guy, a movie I didn't care about, were outstanding while Furiousa, a movie I've wanted to see all year, had possibly the worst action scenes I've seen in years
It just all looked so damn fake it was really disappointing 😞
