Nearly a decade after the last film in the franchise hit theaters, Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga became one of the most disappointing releases of the year, at least in terms of box office. Those who saw it on the big screen knew it was a wild ride that dared to do something different with a post-apocalyptic franchise so iconic that it has defined an entire genre for decades. Now this furious is on Netflix, it's finally finding the audience it deserved.
Rise of Furiosa
Set years in advance Fury Road, furious is the origin story of Charlize Theron's character, and thanks to both movies now on Netflix, you can seamlessly switch between them for a wild five-hour thrill ride. The backstory departs entirely from Max himself, aside from a brief cameo, and instead focuses on Furiosa's childhood and her rise to the role of the immortal Joe Emperor. With a slight shift in focus, fans also get their best look at how society has fallen apart in the post-apocalypse, reminding us that life is now short, cruel, and incredibly violent.
Dementus, played Chris HemsworthThe leader of the Biker Horde, personifies the ethos of a post-apocalyptic society as he is ruthless, brutal and driven by the violent death of his own family. So he both kills Furiosa's mother and then takes the young girl under his wing as a surrogate daughter. Furiosa's a slower pace might be more appreciated Netflix now that audiences are finally seeing Hemsworth's performance, one of the best of his career, instead of learning about it from memes on social media.
Halfway through the movie, we finally get to see Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa grew up, learning how she survived first in the ranks of the Demented Horde and then in the ranks of Immorten Joe's citadel before finally moving on. furiousas a foreshadowing, tries hard to explain more Fury Road than fans ever expected, from the obvious, like how she loses her arm, to the more subtle, like what Joe's lieutenants did before the events of Tom Hardy's movie.
Finally released from Warner Bros.
Before Furiosa's release on Netflix, it was successful on Max, but the bigger ones have more potential eyeballs streaming service, not Warner Bros. Warner Bros. is a big part of the reason the film was so poorly received in the first place; after all, the director George Miller wanted to shoot it right after he was done with Fury Road, but the studio played hardball. A legal battle over his salary from the award-winning 2015 film ensured that it would be years and almost a decade before the prequel would ever hit theaters.
furious Other Max fugitives have joined Netflix's top ten, Dune: Part II and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empireas David Zaslav's company decides to continue licensing Warner Bros. projects instead of using them to sell Max subscriptions. It's just the latest in a long line of mistakes the studio has made furious but ultimately, cutting themselves out of the process, Warner Bros. has ensured that the film becomes a hit. Sure, the company lost nearly $100 million in theaters, but thanks to Netflix's vast lineup, it's set to become a cult classic.
