One of the best descriptions I've ever heard of Fury Road is "it's a movie about a bunch of idiots driving to a place, realizing it sucks and then driving back to the place they were trying to escape from". The plot is astonishingly dumb if you think about it for more than 10 seconds and almost every single character in it is a bland cipher save for Max, who gets more characterization in the first 5 minutes than everyone else gets for the rest of the film.
It still baffles me how it got so many accolades. It's really, really not a good film save for the visuals. And there are a bunch of movies out there who managed to have equally good visuals while not skimping on the plot and characterization that didn't get even half the praise that Fury Road got.

Mad Max hasn't been in a movie since 1985. Mel = Mad Max, Tom Hardy = some fag.
Fury Road was good though I'd roughly give it like an 8/10 and this is also a solid 7/10 action movie, I don't think its bad by any means, it does feel kind of like a movie that maybe had reshoots midway through filming with certain plot lines just disappearing and the pacing being awkward.
Also the decision to end the film with a direct lead into Fury Road and then show footage from Fury Road just makes the ending an awkward fumble. Having some space between the end of this and the start of the next would have helped this one stand on its own more.
Movie probably could have done better if it did the opposite of what everyone is suggesting and instead of adding the "A Mad Max Saga" tagline they marketed it more specifically as a spin-off/its own thing and tried to get new audiences interested in it. Relying on the Mad Max brand for the marketing probably hurt it. Fury Road came out nearly a decade ago.
I skimmed a couple of ya boi zacks videos, haven't watched any of his content since the video leak of him standing in the back of a porn video where his girlfriend scoops up the dudes cum and eats it in front of Zak, and I get being annoyed with over-dramatic YouTube thumbnails with googly-eyes and the word "WOKE" but thinking those guys are in control of the box office is insane.
Barbie was a huge hit and it was woke.
Normies aren't watching YouTube videos about "woke Hollywood" this movie failed because it failed to connect with audiences, Mad Max Fury Road was a decade ago and the entire marketing of this was built around trying to get people who liked that to go see this. They were overconfident that they already had a built-in audience and didn't put in the effort to try to get new people interested.
Ya Boi Zack making 9 videos upset that people didn't go see 'Furiosa' is all the more ridiculous given that he made all these videos before he had even seen the film. What if he doesn't like it? What's he gonna do then? It would be pretty embarrassing to spend a week straight recording video after video angry at people for not seeing a movie and then you go see it and don't even like it.

I'm going to see this tomorrow and have to choose between 4dx and imax. Which should i chose? i feel like 4dx is the best way to experience it but if its not as action heavy as fury road then it might be a waste of time and there are way more imax showings around me

Those are the main flaws of the movie. Why did people like Zack not realise it?

Apparently the production got repeatedly fucked by the coof, but George wanted to make this movie so goddamn much.

Most frustrating thing is Ya Boi's a shadowbanner who will give you the secret boot if you disagree with him. Hard to have a Convo with a guy like that.

Garfield is consistently outperforming Furiosa now, domestically and internationally. I keep hearing Furiosa’s underperformance is due to the economy and not due to lack of demand so is Garfield just impervious to bad economies? Is some orange cat who hates Mondays a recession-proof franchise? Enquiring minds would like to know.

Garfield's numbers are about forty million more than Furiosa's, so revenue-wise it's middling. The difference is Garfield is a significantly cheaper movie to make at around 60 million, so even middling numbers are good for it. Furiosa's doomed at this point with audience drop-offs of over 50%, so it's not even going to recoup its production budget.

So there’s a lot about Furiosa I reallly like:
I like the five-act structure with title cards. I like that Damentus, as the antagonist of the movie, is little more than a small-time hood in over his head. I like that, in a movie that is still largely action with little dialogue it ends with two characters alone and talking about the conflict between them (or one talking about how the other won’t actually grow from these events). I eat all of that up.
I don’t like that it has the same issue Fury Road had, in that it’s not the same setting as the good Mad Max films; it is a continuation of the cartoony setting of Beyond Thunderdome. It went from a relatively-grounded post-apocalypse setting to the exact fantasy-style that every lesser follower to the genre employs. It ends up being style over substance, and has convinced itself that the cure for no substance is more style (which is all modern “worldbuilding” is). It ends up being a crutch and is a massive contributor to why modern media just isn’t very good.

Napoleon Dynamite had a production budget of 350,000 dollars and made 58 million by the end of its theatrical run.
This movie's failure is entirely the result of a film about an obscure side character somehow having a production budget of like 300 million dollars.
There was no conceivable way this film was ever going to turn a profit.

I'll be honest, I'm kinda rooting for Hollywood to burn at this point, I just don't think Shapirowood is a suitable replacement. Ben Shapiro is textbook sour grapes. He doesn't have a problem with the establishment aside from he's not a part of it.
Humungus was originally supposed to be Goose, who was horrifically burned in the first film.

did the 4d bullshit, that was fun but 4d could make Schindlers list a good time with the motion bullcrap.
the film itself was garbage, the only good part for me was Chris and a lot of that was because of my own backstory of him being some soft intellectual type who accidentally kept rising in the ranks. Honestly i'd have much rather the film be about his rise and fall and perhaps Furiosa is just a minor character he keeps meeting with at various points of the story. I imagine him to be a Joseph Smith type who's relatively inquisitive (the surgeon and intellectual on his team sure is odd picks if he's just a regular savage) but ultimately a good soul corrupted by his environment and especially from his gang growing beyond his control.
the movie really should have been about him because of how rounded his character is compared to how static everyone else is, the fact that he comes up with schemes and is more of a Danny Ocean type than the typical wasteland leader sure is interesting. I also found it weird how gentle he was with Furiosa, he clearly loved his wife and children based on keeping that stupid teddy bear, and didn't just fuck her silly.
I'd have love to see the film centered around him but also with him being recast with a real comedian from Australia or NZ, like imagine if Taika Waititi or Rhys Darby played the role. Honestly Furiosa seemed like the real villian, she hunted down a rather pathetic old man who was already on a massive downswing in power and outside of killing the mother didn't really have much reason for her wanting revenge. I think even he says that. To add back to the comedy it would be interesting if she was killed for the same reason she was going to kill them, not wanting to find out the location of their hiding spot.
Also for a film about the rise of Furiosa, she really was almost the exact same character throughout, its not like she failed at something or needed to be taught anything and pretty much just got lucky the entire time, plus with how little we saw of the "45 day war" which supposedly was so huge the narrator compared it to the world wars i'm shocked we didn't see a single real thing from it. Hell with how quickly Furiosa killed off his buddies i'm surprised it lasted 45 days.
also they showed too much of everything, the way they just showed them building an entire 18 wheeler is absurd, and while i enjoyed seeing the interior of bullet town and gas town it really made them seem way less interesting. Everything about this screamed comic book or tv show with how despite the huge budgets how small everything seemed.
