It is unfortunate that this movie flopped...

...because it is an excellent action film. Fun as hell, and waaaaay better than Dune 2.

I guess it was also a victim of the culture war and the terrible slop that Hollywood has been putting out for almost a decade now. Thing is, this movie is not woke at all. Quite the opposite actually. It would be like saying the bride is a girls boss if Kill Bill was released today.

Not as good as Fury Road, though, but i really recommend supporting this one.

Nope, because Kill Bill was always female-led and doesn’t sideline and demean men, whereas Furiosa is leeching off the success of legendary male hero Max, who was also degraded and humiliated in Fury Road when he lost a fight to a one-armed supermodel 🤦🏻‍♂️

They went woke and went broke, no amount of Leftoid gaslighting will persuade people otherwise.

You are wrong. Furiosa is not written like some perfect invincible lady with no flaws, she gets beaten almost to death in this movie. Her partner is also a straight white male, who is not written by some stupid feminist as "dumb", "toxic" or inferior. That is refreshing.

Hell, i even consider Dementus "the red" as a jab directed at communists. He is an awesome villain, btw, they found the perfect mixture of hilarious and menacing.

I heard it was kinda marketed as a "Mad Max" movie in the US, and i get it, it sucks, but at least over here in Brazil we knew that this was a prequel about Furiosa, and the movie would not have Mad Max. So to me is kinda weird reading comments like "wHy nO mAD MaX???", because its obvious that a Furiosa prequel wouldn't have him xD.

You mean the fight where he had her at gunpoint after restraining her and then took the war rig? That fight he lost?

>> waaaaay better than Dune 2. <<

Dune 2 is a freakin' masterpiece, and the second installment in what will be a LEGENDARY trilogy decades from now. It is the Godfather II of the modern age. Flopiosa is not fit to shine its shoes! Smack yourself for that heresy!

>> Not as good as Fury Road, though, but i really recommend supporting this one. <<

This Flopiosa film is a spinoff/loose prequel to a reboot/loose sequel that had NONE of the original cast. Therefore its in the same category as pathetic direct-to-video schlock like "The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior" and "American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile"

Dune 2 is the most mid movie i've ever seen.

Dune 2 was boring as hell. Furiosa was fun as hell. Its just movies, just entertainment. I like what I like.

After supporting 19 films in theater this year, I refuse to put another penny into it. Hollywood needs to go into bankruptcy and restructure.

They are too big to succeed.
