Cookie Monster Movie Review: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)

Monster loved first movie, Mad Max: Furry Road, despite clear lack of furries. Still, plenty of aktion, Max as Mad as advertized, and it all end up being 2 hours well spent in dark theater hiding out from Grover looking to beat Monster up for dating his sister.

Director George Miller had plan for sekwel – Mad Max: De Waistland – to shoot right after Furry Road, but brilliant producers say “No. Let’s wait ten years, replace Mad Max, and make it half hour longer. Also, let’s make it prequill so it even less interesting!”. And so, Monster now have to review Furryosa, a movie dat, at end of day, still be lacking in furries.

Movie begin wit little girl who get kidnapped by Chris Hemsworth as Thor as evil gang leader DeMento. He play de part like he doing SNL parody sketch of dis movie. Goofy yet sadisticky wit touch of catnip high. Great villain for a Marvel movie, but terruble bad guy for dis film since our heroin driven by revenge, but me not feeling it becuz Thor-DeMento so charming. Sure, he a touch homicidal, but not any worse den some muppets Monster know.

Mother save girl but Thor-DeMento steal her back and kill mom, den threaten rival gang and get ass kicked, den attak gas truck, den take Gas Town, den close deal wit rival gang, den attak gas truck, den go back on deal wit rival gang, den attak gas truck, den attak rival gang. Monster may have missed a few attaks on gas trucks. Also, monster may have missed Furryosa charakter who in dis film too. For some reazon.

Anyway, movie more about world building, repeditive action sewkwences, and cartoon cgi that replace cool practikal effekts from first film. Me not going to spoil ending for you, but fakt dis movie be a prequill already pretty much do that.

Rating: Overall, Monster like Furryosa – but only in de last Mad Max movie. Not so much in dis one. 3 out of 5 chocolate chippee cookies.
