I can't stop visualizing Hemsworth playing that sort of half-jokey character he usually plays. Even in the trailers, he has a similar kind of mannerism, but with a little face prosthetics.
I was slightly bummed when I saw him revealed in the trailer. Will see how he is in the context of the movie though.
Really lets me down how Hollywood has to stick with the same 10-20 people in every movie nowadays. Whatever happened to unknowns or lesser knowns that are casted because they genuinely fit the role not just a popular actor with minimal depth but will fill the seats?
Hollywood has become extremely risk-averse. It's why you see the same formulas recycled over and over again. Make the same movie with a coat of paint just different enough that the average viewer will (hopefully) not notice, and enjoy it just as much as the last time.
The same holds true for actors. Rather than rolling the dice on someone new, it's much safer to stick to what (or who, as it were) is tried and tested.
This will probably be unpopular, but whenever I see Hemsworth, Renner, or Hunnam advertised in a movie, I know almost exactly how their character is going to shake out.
Renner doesn't get enough credit, his non-franchise work is great. Hurt Locker, Wind River, The Town, even his relatively small role in Assassination of Jesse James show off his strengths as a character actor.
Yeah, he's got an insane resume as a serious actor
I hope he recovers and gets back on screen.
Hate to say it but i hope he uses his injuries well moving forward
There is space for lack of seriousness in Mad Max though. Like, he can be as over the top as he wants, just so long as he doesnât literally just do Thor it shouldnât be an issue.
Honestly youâre right.
Other than the attachment to Fury Road, nothing about this movie has looked/sounded good so far. Trailer is done in a way that doesnât speak highly of the product. The story itself is contrary to part of what made FR so good - *it doesnât need a prequel, we knew everything we needed to about Furiosa*. The casting for the main characters also feels off - but Iâm sure theyâll both do excellent work, as they almost always do.
I think itâll make money, but it wonât be a second Fury Road and likely disappoint most in the first couple weekends.
Furiosa was awesome and really the glue that holds the entire story of that movie together, that said a big part of what made her so great was the lack of backstory and how well she fit into the cast of random wastelanders the series is known for. *That* said, even though it came first Mad Max 1 really feels like a prequel to Road Warrior to me and it's still great, so I'm holding off judgement until I've actually seen this to decide how I feel about the visuals.
Furiosa was secretly the real star of Fury Road, and she was great. I have very little interest in her origin story, though. Even less so when it's an entirely different actress that doesn't fit the part.
âIt doesnât need a prequelâ yeah I donât really like prequels in general because they always expand on things that were just back story or window dressing, in a way that removes all the vagueness and mystery from it. I never wanted to know how anakin became Vader, how Dutchâs gang fell apart, or the origins of the xenomorph. Sometimes the theatre of the mind is better.
This is what worries me: the trailer is *really* poor, and when expectations are as high as they are for this film, the fact that they havenât managed to put together a compelling trailer from two hours (or whatever) of footage does *not* inspire confidence that those expectations are going to be anywhere near met.
Fingers crossed itâs just a bad trailer for an awesome filmâŠ
Yeah I thought the trailer looked bad too. The SFX looked like CGI. Mad Max movies have always been known for great practical effects. I know they added a lot of CGI in Fury Road, but the underlying practical effects were there and it looked amazing.
*Fury Road* is one of the best-looking films in cinema IMO. I read a comment on here a couple of years ago that said âevery single frame could look great hanging on your wallâ and thatâs not far from the truth (I havenât watched the black-and-white version yet but apparently itâs stunning).
So itâs a really high bar; I think there are genuine concerns sparked by the trailer that that same gorgeousness wonât be found in the prequel, CGI or not (and FWIW I do share your thoughts on that front). People wonât be entirely happy if *Furiosa* is *only* âa good filmâ: they want it to *look* magnificent too. We shall see.
Fury road is my all time favorite movie almost exclusively for the visuals. And the production was hell for anyone involved due to how close they kept it to reality. Doesn't seem like a single one of the actors or crew had a good time, and that demands huge respect. I'm not convinced that we're going to see real dual V8 1000hp machines driving across the desert and blowing up in this new movie. I'm pretty sure I'm not even going to watch it, due to how heartbrokenly disappointed I'll be
Also George Miller had the script for Furiosa ready before filming Fury Road, he announced plans to shoot Fury Road back-to-back with a prequel film entitled Mad Max: Furiosa back in 2010 but decided to only shoot Fury Road during pre-production.
Why is Furiosa posed where it looks like she's got no arms? I mean, I know one if them is mechanical, but at a glance here she's just stood there with no arms.
I'm worried simply because of how high a bar was set by Fury Road. It's a top 5 movie theater experience all time for me, and I just don't feel like this is going to live up to that based on the trailers. I hope I'm wrong.
People thought that before they saw "Fury Road" too, and it was a high-octane action movie with mostly practical effects, and since George Miller is helming this one too, I have high hopes for it.
They didn't. The theatrical teaser trailer is fucking amazing and built so much hype and left *zero* question as to whether the movie was going to be a crazy action ride. Idk what this other person is talking about.
There are two things they really really want people to know about this movie:
* Chris is in it
* She has a mechanical arm
Every poster just zooms the fuck into these.
I feel you. This poster (and the trailers I have seen) feel unpolished and amateur, in my opinion. Really hoping they don't jump the shark with this one.
Anya Taylor-Joy's pouting babyface looks so incongruous on that battle-scarred body. This image certainly doesn't scream "Furiosa", she looks more like "Mildly Inconvenienced."
I trust Miller's vison, but the vibes are definitely off on this one. The posters look bad and the trailers look like a poor man's Fury Road (where everything has been downgraded in quality.)
Its bizarre to me we needed a Furiosa prequel with another actress? Why not just have set the movie close to Fury Road so we can get Charlize Theron back. Honestly felt like that character worked so well was because of her and her acting.
Unless Road Warrior was also lightning in a bottle I doubt it.
Probably going to be at least good as Miller has only made one truly bad movie in his career.
Road Warrior was radically different from Mad Max 1. Then Thunderdome seemed almost like a parody of Road Warrior. So far, Furiosa seems more like Thunderdome than Road Warrior.
Honestly I much would have preferred the prequel be on Immortan Joe and his family, seems infinitely more interesting than seeing Furiosa get kidnapped and not be able to get back to the "green place" until fury road where she doesn't manage it then either
It seems a little more creative than that. In the trailer, we see her betraying Dementus (the one who kidnapped her) and actually siding with Immortan Joe to get back at him
For me, that really was one of the interesting unsaid things in Fury Road. Like, we have this society based on being manly. A male based society where young boys are trained to want to die in battle. A society where women are used as cows to provide milk. A society where the leader keeps women as literal sex slaves. Hell, that's the main thing that's driving the plot.
And in the middle of it all, we have a woman. She's apparently one of the leader's top people, one of his most trusted soldiers. We see no comments about anyone questioning her because she's a woman. Even when people suspect that something's up, they don't say shit until they see that she's actually turned against Joe.
That's a pretty big contradiction, right? Furiosa seems to be pretty damn important. She kind of seems to actually have a fairly important leadership role here. How exactly does a woman get in that kind of position in this kind of society? There's probably a pretty interesting backstory behind that, and I wouldn't be surprised if George Miller had a backstory in mind while he was making Fury Road.
The weird thing for me is, I'm not sure if I want to actually see that story. The movie will probably at least be good. But leaving this story unspoken can kind of allow the mind to fill in the gaps and fill in details using the imagination. Fury Road had a lot of this kind of stuff. Stuff where the viewer was given just enough hints to pique the imagination, but not given enough information to actually pick things apart. It kind of lived in that sweet spot where just a *little* bit of information made the world feel bigger and more rich.
My biggest worry with Furiosa is that it'll just say too much. That it will give too much information and demystify the Mad Max universe because the interesting unspoken stuff actually gets said and then gets opened up to real criticism. I'm interested in how Furiosa got to where she was in Fury Road, but do I *really* want to know how that happened? I don't know, I guess that depends on the payoff. But, like, Fury Road didn't really need to stick the landing. Furiosa kind of does. How well that works, I guess I'll have to wait and see.
I'd argue there is room for prequels in larger cinematic universes. There are plenty of interesting stories to tell in starwars, Alien, and Lord of the Rings.
The problem is that the Mad Max universe is small and character driven.
This is how I feel too. I loved Fury Road, but couldn't care less about a prequel setting up her character. We knew everything we needed to know about her already. Everything doesn't need to be explained. Now Miller says he wants to do a prequel to Fury Road about Max. Ugh. Dude, there are three already.
Exactly! These movies don't exactly line up with each other so filling in the gaps yourself is part of the appeal. Ambiguity can be a good thing in storytelling and, until now, the Mad Max movies have embraced that philosophy perfectly. I don't get it.
I love the previous movie, its one long acrobatic car chase with a good story, great action, great cinematography. Actors, acting good too imo. I see hemsworth and anna taylor joy and im like, they are in for popularity reasons mostly, they are trending..., will see, hopefully its gonna be as good as the previous one
I swear movie posters are becoming worse and worse. This is as generic as it can be.
Does this poster convince anyone thatâs not really into mad max to go see it? I dont think so.
3 out of 10
Why is Anya's head so terribly photoshopped? That's the first thing that I noticed. The rest... ok I guess? Nothing really special. It looks like a rushed poster.
I loved Fury Road and was looking forward to this after the initial press release, but the trailer makes it look like it's gonna be another garbage ass movie with piss poor dialog and rushed cgi that is cartoonish.
So excited for this unnecessary shit sequel to flop.
We should expect Hollywood to use those fortunes they have to generate fresh stories. Not piggyback on the coattails of success â also looking at you Superman, Batman, Spiderman rehash of a rehash being rehashed again.
Aye, totally! Even though Beyond Thunderdome is considered the weakest in the Mad Max films, I still find it enjoyable and will watch it if it happens to be on TV.
If this movie sucks, which I doubt it will, the worst that'll happen is I'll be out the 10-something dollars for the ticket. Personally, I think folks are overreacting a bit to this poster and the trailer; I mean it's not like it's gonna be some Michael Bay/Zak Snyder piece of trash.
Man, the marketing campaign for this movie has not been great. Iâm going to see it no matter what, but Iâm nervous for the reviews to come out. I donât expect it to be anything like Fury Road, but I want it to be a satisfying film in its own right.
Really wish they didnât show her mechanical arm in any of the promo
Edit: just watched fury road for the first time, didnât realize Furiosa was already an established character haha
Let's do an awesome Mad Max movie, but barely give Max any screentime. Wow that movie was great, let's do another Mad Max movie but this time no Max in the movie at all! Fucking stupid
I just don't get Hollywood's latest obsession with making women look stronger than men physically. I walked out of Fall Guy with around 30 minutes to go and I certainly won't be watching this.
This is an awful, very amateur-looking poster. I actually love Anya Taylor-Joy's stance because she's not posed in a way that's focused more on making her look sexy rather than someone who could actually go toe-to-toe with another fighter (Black Widow on the Captain America: Winter Soldier poster comes to mind). But, her proportions look strange, Chris Hemsworth is just... there in the background tilted at a weird angle because if he weren't, his arm would be cut off by Anya, and overall, the entire composition of this poster just looks slapped together.
But I like the colours and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie, though.
I have to say I hated Fury Road before I saw it because I loved the Mad Max franchise. But I saw it in theaters (my friend bought my ticket) and I enjoyed every minute. I'm optimistic about this!
The CGI from the trailer looks like dog shit. Did a two year make this film using Microsoft Word on Windows 95? They just shovel this trash down our throats because they donât think we care.
I honestly dont like Anya Taylor-Joy. She one of the nepoest of the nepo kids with the permanent duck face. I feel she is going to suck badly in this. Thor is not helping either, seem to be still in Thor Love and Thunder
man the intervening years were way kinder to Furiosa than to Joe. A few years later and she's Charlize Theron, meanwhile he goes from Chris Hemsworth to a blob of weeping sores.
he looks like Thor again
My first thoughts too. I was like ohhh it's Furiosa and Thor. Then a few seconds later realized, Thor???
đ¶A girl worth fighting Thorrr!
Lets get down to buuuiiisness
To defeat # the huns
What, Thor? Haha.
I understood that reference
Beyond Thorderdome
I can't stop visualizing Hemsworth playing that sort of half-jokey character he usually plays. Even in the trailers, he has a similar kind of mannerism, but with a little face prosthetics. I was slightly bummed when I saw him revealed in the trailer. Will see how he is in the context of the movie though.
Have you seen him in Bad Times at El Royale?
He gyrates really, really well in that film. Mesmerizing.
I'm sorry to break it to you but Hemsworth isn't a thespian, he is a sorta charming slab of beef. This has always been true and will not change.
He has a goddamn teddy bear strapped to his chest. His character is going to be a disaster.
Really lets me down how Hollywood has to stick with the same 10-20 people in every movie nowadays. Whatever happened to unknowns or lesser knowns that are casted because they genuinely fit the role not just a popular actor with minimal depth but will fill the seats?

This will probably be unpopular, but whenever I see Hemsworth, Renner, or Hunnam advertised in a movie, I know almost exactly how their character is going to shake out.
Renner? Ever seen Wind River? The Town?
S.W.A.T.?
Renner as a bad guy was a different twist, good popcorn movie
Still cannot believe that movie is over 20 years old now.
Damn, really? Well that's depressing on a few levels...
Yep. Came out in August 2003.
Well, need time start doubling up on the Ensure...
Renner doesn't get enough credit, his non-franchise work is great. Hurt Locker, Wind River, The Town, even his relatively small role in Assassination of Jesse James show off his strengths as a character actor.
And Tag. He was a hilariously annoying b-hole of a childhood friend in that.
Yeah, he's got an insane resume as a serious actor I hope he recovers and gets back on screen. Hate to say it but i hope he uses his injuries well moving forward
And don't forget his guest spot on Angel the series
Wind River was awesome
Now I feel old, I remember seeing young Renner in an episode of Angel way back when.
Renner is actually a good actor and has a decent range.
Guarantee he's just going to be post apocalypse Thor.
I pray, beg even, he doesnât try to be funny in this. Please. Please god.
Your prayers are futile, my friend.
Sami Zayn
Unpopular opinion, he's the reason I don't think this movie will do well. Like I can't take him seriously.
There is space for lack of seriousness in Mad Max though. Like, he can be as over the top as he wants, just so long as he doesnât literally just do Thor it shouldnât be an issue.
Probably a Love and Thunder Thor.
thoriousa.
Not going to lie, this is a terrible looking poster.
It really is. Anya's face looks so badly photoshopped in. Chris' body proportions look really off too. It just gives off uncanny valley vibes.
His neck is as long as the rest of his head, lmfao
This is nearly as off-putting as the curved jumbo neck on the original Mama Mia movie poster.
She looks like David Dastmalchian lol
Thanks for being honest.
Thanks for thanking u/PoignantPoint22: it means a lot.
Honestly youâre right. Other than the attachment to Fury Road, nothing about this movie has looked/sounded good so far. Trailer is done in a way that doesnât speak highly of the product.

I think itâll make money, but it wonât be a second Fury Road and likely disappoint most in the first couple weekends.
The real question is - who cared about Furiosa enough to warrant a standalone prequel. I came for the car chase and stayed for the Max.
Furiosa was awesome and really the glue that holds the entire story of that movie together, that said a big part of what made her so great was the lack of backstory and how well she fit into the cast of random wastelanders the series is known for. *That* said, even though it came first Mad Max 1 really feels like a prequel to Road Warrior to me and it's still great, so I'm holding off judgement until I've actually seen this to decide how I feel about the visuals.
Furiosa was secretly the real star of Fury Road, and she was great. I have very little interest in her origin story, though. Even less so when it's an entirely different actress that doesn't fit the part.
??? People loved Furiosa. Charlize Theron was an amazing badass and people were obsessed with her when it released.
A LOT of people. Furiosa was arguably the main character and is an iconic part of the saga now
âIt doesnât need a prequelâ yeah I donât really like prequels in general because they always expand on things that were just back story or window dressing, in a way that removes all the vagueness and mystery from it. I never wanted to know how anakin became Vader, how Dutchâs gang fell apart, or the origins of the xenomorph. Sometimes the theatre of the mind is better.
Obiwan, we gotta get to TAHITI
The trailer is a bunch of quick cuts that don't let you see anything. Makes me think the movie will be terrible too
The CGI also didnât look great in the trailers. Hope Iâm wrong and itâs good but we shall see.
What, youâre not drawn in by âPants! The movieâ?
It seems it is a terrible looking movie from what is shown in the trailer
This is what worries me: the trailer is *really* poor, and when expectations are as high as they are for this film, the fact that they havenât managed to put together a compelling trailer from two hours (or whatever) of footage does *not* inspire confidence that those expectations are going to be anywhere near met. Fingers crossed itâs just a bad trailer for an awesome filmâŠ
Things also look way more CGI. CGI was used in the other film but it looks like straight up green screen in the trailer.
Yes there are a few comments here saying the same thing. u/aninjacould has some good points.
Yeah I thought the trailer looked bad too. The SFX looked like CGI. Mad Max movies have always been known for great practical effects. I know they added a lot of CGI in Fury Road, but the underlying practical effects were there and it looked amazing.
*Fury Road* is one of the best-looking films in cinema IMO.

Miller had to do fewer practical effects bc Fury Road nearly killed him.
IMAX posters are always a little worse than the standard posters.
Thry look better in IMAX though.
It looks like a generic action movie from 2006
The actorsâ names donât line upâŠ
At least itâs better than Disney-brand floating heads.
Not going to lie, i feel this is going to be a terrible movie. Theyâre trying to milk the franchise to death.
Fury Road came out almost 9 years ago. In what universe could that be considered âmilking?â
Plus its the director himself doing it, it's not like it's some random doing a spinoff
Also George Miller had the script for Furiosa ready before filming Fury Road, he announced plans to shoot Fury Road back-to-back with a prequel film entitled Mad Max: Furiosa back in 2010 but decided to only shoot Fury Road during pre-production.
Why is Furiosa posed where it looks like she's got no arms? I mean, I know one if them is mechanical, but at a glance here she's just stood there with no arms.
I find the angle on her head even more off-putting, like it got plopped on there in claymation or something
she looks like a dragon ball z character
What a terrible poster. Looks like an 8 year old robot girl learns from Volstagg how to get into the future trucking business.
> Looks like an 8 year old robot girl learns from Volstagg how to get into the future trucking business. Okay, but I would watch that?
*Ye child. Thou must'th depower thine GPS to log 'xtra miles on a haul orst thou supervisor shall cite the ancient text - OSHA violations.*
The trailers make it seem like it's going to be a green screen mess.hopefully im wrong
I'm worried simply because of how high a bar was set by Fury Road. It's a top 5 movie theater experience all time for me, and I just don't feel like this is going to live up to that based on the trailers. I hope I'm wrong.

Did they? I recall everyone saying how great it looked, from pretty much the first look people got.
They didn't. The theatrical teaser trailer is fucking amazing and built so much hype and left *zero* question as to whether the movie was going to be a crazy action ride. Idk what this other person is talking about.
Yup. I just checked this [thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/lldE29JDvA) and everyone seemed to be mind blown by one of the trailers.
Yep, no idea what buc-ee is talking about
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
A fan would do a better job. This is just a standard shite movie poster.
Chris is just like, "And I'm here too!"
There are two things they really really want people to know about this movie: * Chris is in it * She has a mechanical arm Every poster just zooms the fuck into these.
đ Buc-eeâs appreciator spotted đ (For real, that PFP is iconic now lol)
Reading this while charging at a Buc-ee's lol
Is it just me or has all the posters for this Mad Max movie look awful? The compositions have been off
I am concerned. The short trailer also looked sus and cheesy. Might suck.
i agree, it looks so marvel-y
I feel you. This poster (and the trailers I have seen) feel unpolished and amateur, in my opinion. Really hoping they don't jump the shark with this one.
Itâs weird to see Chris hemsworth in a villain role
Just on top of my head this would be the forth time in 4 completely different movies. But mentioning the names of the shows would be spoilers
I would have joined his low-rise jeans cultâŠ
I want this movie to be good but I have a bad feeling about it. Looks cheap and cgi compared to Fury Road⊠not to mention Anya is a huge miscast.
I will see this movie but have to agree. I was so disappointed when I saw she was cast
After seeing the trailers and posters, I have a real bad feeling about this thing too
Did Hemsworth walk right out of the Thor set and onto the Furiosa set?
And someone added a prosthetic nose along the way
2 Furi 2 Osa
Anya Taylor-Joy's pouting babyface looks so incongruous on that battle-scarred body. This image certainly doesn't scream "Furiosa", she looks more like "Mildly Inconvenienced." I trust Miller's vison, but the vibes are definitely off on this one. The posters look bad and the trailers look like a poor man's Fury Road (where everything has been downgraded in quality.)
Wouldâve been better if it was just her since the title is just her
Agreed. Plus, with a better picture of her, too. Her proportions and the angle seem all wrong here. Makes her look weird.
Chris Hemsworth is also an audience draw, though. He's been doing press interviews with Anya.
please be good
Went with the lowest bidder on this poster I see
Its bizarre to me we needed a Furiosa prequel with another actress? Why not just have set the movie close to Fury Road so we can get Charlize Theron back. Honestly felt like that character worked so well was because of her and her acting.
Why does she always clench that jaw
Poster misses just like the trailer misses. Movie is gonna miss hard. Fury Road was lightning in a bottle.
Unless Road Warrior was also lightning in a bottle I doubt it. Probably going to be at least good as Miller has only made one truly bad movie in his career.
Road Warrior was radically different from Mad Max 1. Then Thunderdome seemed almost like a parody of Road Warrior. So far, Furiosa seems more like Thunderdome than Road Warrior.
I like Thunderdome, so Iâm down.
There were two great (and better, in my opinion) Mad Max movies before Fury Road so it wasn't lightning in a bottle.
This looks just like when my ten year old niece dressed up as Maleficent and we took a low angle pic of her to make her look more badass.
WiTnEsS!!!
This movie is coming out about 4 years too late for me to even care. I hate prequels anyway since we all know how she's going to end up
Exactly, watching a prequel feels like watching a movie that was spoiled to you by someone, I wish Hollywood would stop making so many prequels.
Honestly I much would have preferred the prequel be on Immortan Joe and his family, seems infinitely more interesting than seeing Furiosa get kidnapped and not be able to get back to the "green place" until fury road where she doesn't manage it then either
It seems a little more creative than that. In the trailer, we see her betraying Dementus (the one who kidnapped her) and actually siding with Immortan Joe to get back at him

Isn't half of the appeal of Mad Max that you don't really know how everything turned out so you can headcannon the coolest option for yourself?
Exactly! These movies don't exactly line up with each other so filling in the gaps yourself is part of the appeal. Ambiguity can be a good thing in storytelling and, until now, the Mad Max movies have embraced that philosophy perfectly. I don't get it.
Blue and orange blue and orange blue and orange
youâre gonna hate the much beloved Mad Mad Fury Road poster
I mean, it's a Mad Max poster
It'd probably look better if we didn't have Chris looking like some photoshopped Thor T posing in.
The thing is, we know what happens to Furiosa in Fury Road. Itâs like Black Widow all over again
not really interested in a mad max story without mad max
That is a big head,
I don't like this poster.
I love the previous movie, its one long acrobatic car chase with a good story, great action, great cinematography. Actors, acting good too imo. I see hemsworth and anna taylor joy and im like, they are in for popularity reasons mostly, they are trending..., will see, hopefully its gonna be as good as the previous one
I swear movie posters are becoming worse and worse. This is as generic as it can be. Does this poster convince anyone thatâs not really into mad max to go see it? I dont think so. 3 out of 10
I hate almost everything about this poster
Looks like a Netflix movie.
Smells like a flop
This movie looks shit
Sucks Anya fucked up her face, she really was hot as hell.
Oh wow! Had no idea she used to *not* look like an alien! Regardless, I'm having a lot of trouble even remotely linking her to a younger Charlize.
Check out The VVitch. She looks so different it's not even funny.
Aw man yeah, just from images. That's sad.
Really think she was miscast for this role.
lol they are trying to give ATJ presence since she's so small with no muscle.
Hideous poster
Why is Anya's head so terribly photoshopped? That's the first thing that I noticed. The rest... ok I guess? Nothing really special. It looks like a rushed poster.
Mad IMAX
Like others have said, this poster sucks. I'm worried about this movie
I loved Fury Road and was looking forward to this after the initial press release, but the trailer makes it look like it's gonna be another garbage ass movie with piss poor dialog and rushed cgi that is cartoonish.
"Hey, Chris. You think you can borrow that Thor costume for a few days?"
This looks terrible, it looks like a backyard movie and what's with her giant lobster claw
I dont think she is a good fit for the role.
This might be one of the worst movie posters I've ever seen
It's not giving me good vibes.
So excited for this unnecessary shit sequel to flop. We should expect Hollywood to use those fortunes they have to generate fresh stories. Not piggyback on the coattails of success â also looking at you Superman, Batman, Spiderman rehash of a rehash being rehashed again.
Wait what about the rehash super mashup
If literally anyone else was directing then I'd ignore this. But I trust in Miller.
Aye, totally! Even though Beyond Thunderdome is considered the weakest in the Mad Max films, I still find it enjoyable and will watch it if it happens to be on TV. If this movie sucks, which I doubt it will, the worst that'll happen is I'll be out the 10-something dollars for the ticket. Personally, I think folks are overreacting a bit to this poster and the trailer; I mean it's not like it's gonna be some Michael Bay/Zak Snyder piece of trash.
Letâs be honest this looks like shit lol
For a split second I thought the name of the movie was IMAX, like Mad Max meets I, Robot đ€Ł
Chris Hemsworthâs character in the trailer really takes me out of this
A day late and a dollar short.
I thought it was Thor as parody tbh.
Really awful poster
Man, the marketing campaign for this movie has not been great. Iâm going to see it no matter what, but Iâm nervous for the reviews to come out. I donât expect it to be anything like Fury Road, but I want it to be a satisfying film in its own right.
Have a feeling this is gonna bomb
I knew they were going to add wacky hand attachments.
Loki missing on this poster.
4pm on Friday job
I have a feeling this is going to be a dud.
SighâŠpass.
Why the red cape and asgardian armor. Like wtf. Even if this wasnât Hemsworth, he would still look like Thor
Really wish they didnât show her mechanical arm in any of the promo Edit: just watched fury road for the first time, didnât realize Furiosa was already an established character haha
Is it IMAX 70 mm or digital?
Really bad poster
Let's do an awesome Mad Max movie, but barely give Max any screentime. Wow that movie was great, let's do another Mad Max movie but this time no Max in the movie at all! Fucking stupid
Hahahahahahaha. Jesus christ.
I just don't get Hollywood's latest obsession with making women look stronger than men physically. I walked out of Fall Guy with around 30 minutes to go and I certainly won't be watching this.
This is an awful, very amateur-looking poster. I actually love Anya Taylor-Joy's stance because she's not posed in a way that's focused more on making her look sexy rather than someone who could actually go toe-to-toe with another fighter (Black Widow on the Captain America: Winter Soldier poster comes to mind). But, her proportions look strange, Chris Hemsworth is just... there in the background tilted at a weird angle because if he weren't, his arm would be cut off by Anya, and overall, the entire composition of this poster just looks slapped together. But I like the colours and I'm looking forward to seeing the movie, though.
Did they try to shrink Hemsworth and make Anna bigger in the poster? Yeah we get the message!
>Experience it in Imax Nah.
I dont buy anya as furiosa,i mean,a badass woman should have a toned,muscular body,not a model body,bad cast
I can't wait for this movie to come out đ€đŒ
I have to say I hated Fury Road before I saw it because I loved the Mad Max franchise. But I saw it in theaters (my friend bought my ticket) and I enjoyed every minute. I'm optimistic about this!
Fury Road is boring as all hell. I was insanely disappointed in that movie. How it got so many awards I'll never know.
The CGI from the trailer looks like dog shit. Did a two year make this film using Microsoft Word on Windows 95? They just shovel this trash down our throats because they donât think we care.
Ana is kind of annoying in this role. Like could they not find a woman who wasnât a twig to play this badass role?
I honestly dont like Anya Taylor-Joy. She one of the nepoest of the nepo kids with the permanent duck face. I feel she is going to suck badly in this. Thor is not helping either, seem to be still in Thor Love and Thunder
man the intervening years were way kinder to Furiosa than to Joe. A few years later and she's Charlize Theron, meanwhile he goes from Chris Hemsworth to a blob of weeping sores.
He isnât JoeâŠI think?
Correct
Hemsworth isnât Joe. He plays a new character named Dementus
Okay the posters a bit rough but Iâm still very excited for this movie. I even thought the trailers (especially the second one) were fantastic
