Message: [QUOTE="ZooCougar, post: 5317818, member: 296"] Furiosa (2024?) This quite simply may be the best movie you haven't seen. I like George Miller, I like Mad Max. I think it's the most underappreciated movie franchise because it doesn't sell plastic toys and never had glass cup giveaways at McDonalds in the '80s. So after Mad Max: Fury Road was a big hit and everyone loved it, Furiosa with an amazing cast should have been a smash right? Nope. I think everyone had sequel or prequel fatigue. Maybe some people preferred to see Charlize Theron back. I have no idea. I love the franchise and I blew it off too. But sometimes you just have to trust the artist, and in this case it's George Miller. He had a story and it was worth telling. Prequel fatigue be damned. The movie follows Furiosa's rise from her abduction from a utopia to becoming one of the highest ranking soldiers for the biggest warlord in the wasteland. It's partially a Jungian Hero's quest, part slow burn revenge. The road war set pieces don't disappoint. If anything there might be one or two too many of them. The guy who plays Thor in the Marvel Crap also does an amazing job as the principal antagonist. Thor has some real range as an actor. He wears a prosthetic nose that makes him look Justin Theroux hit the gym and pounded creatine. It's a shame this movie did poorly. It couldn't get better reviews, but nobody went to see it. Miller really does a good job laying out the setting of the Wasteland, there is still some unrealized potential there. Mad Max: Wasteland was in the works but it appears to be dead now. Hollywood, you suck. [/QUOTE]
