Mark Kermode reviews Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - Kermode and Mayo's Take

Kermode has built up trust over so many years and he watches everything from Hollywood to obscure European folk horror - he has my respect.

It's a fantastic film guys, please support not just this film but cinema, or we won't have them. It's an absolutely banging film

“David Lean after doing a line of diesel” is going to live rent-free in my head for the ready of my life. chef’s kiss

I LOVED Fury Road. Saw Furiosa today and, seriously: I think it's even better than Fury Road. It's absolutely insane

The best comparison between these two movies I've heard is that Fury Road is like Kill Bill vol. 1 and Furiosa is Kill Bill vol. 2. The first is more action heavy, the second is more thematic.

Mark having that Gang Of Four album on his wall makes me very happy 😊

I LOVED IT! Well worth seeing on a big screen with great sound. Magnificent.

Mark Kermode would be the kind of guy to hang a Gang of Four vinyl in his room.

Just got back, very enjoyable. Go watch it

Chris Hemsworth was having SO MUCH fun here. So much of Anya Taylor-Joy’s performance being non-verbal was interesting.

saw this on the 23rd and there's so much going on that scenes pop into my head and cause me to wonder.

I remember, a very long time ago, I was to meet my sister after she got off work to help her carry some stuff home, but I got the time wrong and had 3 hours to kill, so I looked at the posters of a cinema and saw Mad Max, I didn't know a thing about it or any of the actors (Mel Gibson) but as a 13-year-old I thought the poster was cool, so in I went, MY HEAD WAS BLOWN, and I loved the cinema ever since.

Mark and Simon sold me on seeing this and I'm so happy I did. Amazing film, great franchise, drive don't walk!

Loved it. Not only the action parts - which are basically a silent movie with sound, just like Sorcerer - but also the writing. And that is coming from the guy who usually is the first to get the giggles when an otherwise silly action films go for pathos. But Chris Hemsworth's shakespearian monologue about the futility of revenge is actually excellent.

Thank you for an actual, honest review. I’m sick and bored of people claiming to be movie reviewers who try and find anything in a film that they can then claim is “woke”, to push their own anti-Hollywood agenda. The comments sections of those “reviews” are a litany of other cult members who haven’t seen the film, won’t see the film and are only looking for videos that reinforce their cult mentality.

Sparks AND Sorcerer in the same frame? Brilliant!

“Petrolhead Odyssey” 😂😂😂

Watched it yesterday in a 4DX movie theater. Highly recommend it, and that comes from somebody that was pretty lukewarm to the idea of a Fury Road prequel , as well as the first trailer. As mentioned here, it gives you room to breath ( compared to Fury Road) and you can sense Miller achieving his best to lay down the world building and inject the very specific vibe of the old Mad Max movies. Something that is pretty much lost nowadays. So yeah - if we want more of these movies to be made, we need to support them.

Just out from seeing Furiosa and my only negative was the overuse of CGI. And it's more noticeable than in Fury Road. Still, it's a great dystopian romp which I immensely enjoyed.

I've compared them to Fury Road being your favourite heavy metal album and Furiosa is the experimental, proggy follow up. Both incredible.
