Hemsworth was great, especially in the 2nd part when he was pretty much the lead. I really enjoy the over the top villains in the Mad Max series embracing their crazy.

A few days before watching Furiosa, I decided to watch Fury Road to refresh my memory, and I couldn't help but think, 'there's no way they can top this.' The film's intense sequences and relentless pace certainly leaves an indelible mark, making it hard to imagine a follow-up that could surpass it.
After watching Furiosa, my sentiment remained unchanged and I continued to think Fury Road was the superior film. Tighter and faster.
However, I've changed my mind on that. Furiosa's layers of storytelling, character development, and thematic depth became more apparent. It wasn't just an action-packed spectacle; it offered a richer, more nuanced narrative that resonated on a deeper level. It's just a meatier film, with substance that surpasses the initial thrills of Fury Road.
Furiosa is a masterful symphony of sound, action, drama, emotion, and depth, blending these elements; Fury Road is like a high-octane rock concert: intense, exhilarating, and relentless.
