The first reactions are in for George Miller’s latest venture into the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The embargo has been lifted for social media reactions to Furiosa, the highly anticipated prequel to the 2015 hit Mad Max: Fury Road.
This new installment stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Imperator Furiosa (replacing Charlize Theron) and Chris Hemsworth as a cunning warlord in a narrative set 15 years before its predecessor.
Early social media feedback tends to be more enthusiastic than official reviews, but based on the initial reactions, Furiosa is praised for its visually stunning action sequences and a story that spans decades, with standout performances from the lead actors.
While some critics compared the film to Fury Road, they noted that Furiosa operates in a different manner and may not reach the same heights, leading to potential viewer frustrations. However, this departure from the previous film is seen as a positive aspect, with Fury Road being hailed as one of the best action movies of the century.
Overall, initial reactions point to Furiosa as a must-see film, and it is set to hit theaters on May 24.
