Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

 

At 2 ½ hours, it’s an action movie with some depth to it. I appreciate a good dose of character development to go with a violent story. Furiosa, more than any of the other Mad Maxes, did a great job of fleshing out the post-apocalyptic world. There is order to the madness, and consequences when that order is disrupted. This origin story is better than Fury Road. 

Rating: B-

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

A fun, action-packed monster car-fest that keeps the gas pedal to the floor. No deep backstories here. Just explosions, Frankenstein rigs, and vehicular manslaughter.

Rating: C+
