Review
"Furiosa" is a masterclass in prequel storytelling, avoiding nostalgia traps to deliver a standalone epic. Taylor-Joy commands the screen with minimal dialogue, her expressive eyes conveying Furiosa's transformation from victim to strategist. Hemsworth steals scenes as the flamboyantly cruel Dementus, while Miller's action choreography—particularly a jaw-dropping "War Rig vs. Bike Horde" sequence—sets new benchmarks for practical stunts. Though less relentless than "Fury Road," its deeper character work and political intrigue enrich the Mad Max mythos.
