Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga: Black & Chrome | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Takes a while, a long while actually to get going. Once it does, this prequel is a worthy addition to the Mad Max franchise.

Furiosa is a very elaborate revenge melodrama. But it’s done with such visual and, surprisingly, verbal aplomb that I could happily watch it again.

[Its] weaknesses [...] are mostly of the thespian kind, as the acrobatics of the mise-en-scène are as diabolically fascinating as ever, and hardly skip a beat in the red dust of the post-Australian Wasteland.

Furiosa isn’t as narratively stripped down as Fury Road -- it’s not a bad origin story, just one whose revenge ‘n’ retribution themes are rather expected.

One of the main ways that Furiosa is an unpredictable zig-zag for the Mad Max series is that it's actually much closer to a direct evolution from Miller's last film, 2022's Three Thousand Years of Longing.
