Agreed. I thought the movie was a great addition to the Mad Max films. As others have pointed out, some of the CGI was lacking, but other than that it was extremely enjoyable and well paced.

While she doesn’t bring the same physicality to the role as Theron, I think she did a good job in the lead, especially with so few lines.

Interesring read I haven’t seen it yet and am a fan of ATJs other work, but it kind of backs up my gut feeling she is an odd choice. Though I think I’m mainly disappointed we didn’t get more Theron Furiosa.
I definitely will see it, but don’t have a burning desire to go out to see it. In fact talking about it is making me more eager for another of rewatch Fury Road instead. I guess others are thinking similarly.

Apparently, Miller wasn’t happy with the de-aging technology.

She was great. The movie was too long, too unfocused, and generally undercooked (bad CG, etc).
Some more time in the editing bay and the VFX shop and I think there would be a solid 9/10 movie there. As it stands, I’d call it a solid 7/10… but it’s 2024, and 7/10 isn’t going to get people into an inconvenient, overpriced, impractical theater.

MOST movies are too long these days. Lopping 15 or even 25 minutes off many would make them a better movie overall.
