Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" is enjoyable enough and George Miller is an amazing director, but the film is overlong and it does have a tendency to meander too much of the time. It is basically nothing more than a high octane succession of action scenes at its core, but don't get yourself too excited by the prospect of this. The scenes in question lack the raw excitement of the original trilogy and this is principally because most of the action is obviously taking place in the comfortable security of the studio. This is disappointing, especially when compared to the downright reckless derring-do of the original films where the absolutely superb stunt teams risked life and limb in pursuit of the imaginative and timeless sequences they captured on film for our enjoyment back in the hazardous days where health and safety precautions barely existed at all whereas today the most serious injury you are apt to receive is when your harness suddenly goes a little crazy and bounces you off the nearest green screen.
