A good movie

The main reason why I wanted to watch this flick was because ‘Fury Road’ was  such a huge commercial and critical success. However, for some reason, it seems that I forgot that I was actually never a huge fan of ‘Fury Road’ in the first place (I even saw the damned thing a 2^nd time in case I might have missed something the first time around. My conclusion was that I did not). Well, I’m not surprised that this sequel didn’t turn out to be such a huge box-office success after all. It’s not that it was bad, it’s just that it is really an acquired taste and it seems that ‘Fury Road’ was just a struck of luck back then. Anyway, coming back to our main feature, I have to admit that Furiosa was definitely a badass character and it was pretty cool to make a movie about her origins. However, the main issue was probably the fact that the damned thing was too long. Indeed, it was 30 mins longer than ‘Fury Road’ and such action movies should never last more than 2 hrs. In this case, it took maybe 1 hour before Anya Taylor-Joy finally showed up. By the way, she is definitely one of the most fascinating actresses at work nowadays and she delivered another strong performance here. The funny thing is that I was convinced that she was much smaller than Charlize Theron but, in fact, they are both about the same size. Anyway, there is something really statuesque about Theron and, in spite of Taylor-Joy’s impressive talent, I’m afraid she doesn’t have the same physical presence though. Concerning the action scenes, well, George Miller is pretty much the all-time master in this genre and I guessed they worked fine but I can’t say I was really blown away though. Anyway, to conclude, even if I’m still not a huge fan, I have to admit it was still a decent action flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
