I think I’m not alone in feeling I could listen to George Miller talk for hours, and thanks the Furiosa press tour I have.

  Yeah, i feel like fury road is more fun and furiosa was more serious, but i think that was done on purpose to make her story feel more dark

Saw furiosa last night, going to see it again in imax tonight. If this doesn’t win the Oscar for best sound, it’s a crime

As an Aussie who waited in line to see Mad Max on Collins st Melbourne as a young kid let me say after mad max 2 the entire series should off stopped .three was awful fury road was worse and this instalment isnt even worth watching ,it looks like fury road so thats enough for me ,took me years of therapy and so much money to get over fury road

I love how Furiosa is very close to MadMax 2! Fury Road felt like a spin-off.

I really hope Furiosa gets nominated at the Golden Globe and Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture, and George Miller wins his 2nd & 3rd for Best Director & Producer after his 1st Oscar win for Best Animated Feature Film for Happy Feet 🐧
