Finally got around to seeing this now it's out on Netflix.
It's a good movie, and I did enjoy it overall, but it's definitely the weakest of the series in my opinion.
First the good; it's a visually beautiful film, and George Miller's vision of a post-apocalyptic Australia remains as captivating and unique as ever. The action scenes are well staged and choreographed, though they don't quite have the same ruthless energy as Fury Road.
Anya Taylor-Joyce surprised me in a good way; one of my biggest concerns was that I wouldn't buy her as Furiosa, but she really gave it her all despite it clearly being outside her usual range.
In other ways, it was more mixed. Chris Hemsworth as the villain comes off as a bit too clownish, and as a result wasn't really intimidating or hateable enough to give the film the counterpoint to Furiosa that it really needed.
It's also overlong; two and a half hours is a little excessive for a film without much in the way of plot, and unlike Fury Road or Mad Max 2, it wasn't paced energetically enough to keep things flowing.
Still, it's not a bad way to spend an evening. It's solid entertainment, just lacking the spark of brilliance that elevated its predecessors.
