Furiosa was the best movie I've seen this year not named Dune 2. Just a great cinema experience. Enjoyed how it enhanced the Fury Road universe with some new characters and lore. Wasn't the non stop rush of Fury Road, taking place over a much longer time frame, but I thought the structure of 5 stories worked well for the pacing. Sad the box office is low and we won't see more. The Mad Max movies were never popular IPs with Thunderdome being a bomb and Fury Road needing good reviews and word of mouth to make a modest profit. 10/10
Here are more reviews:
Argyle: There was potential for a good movie here with a solid cast, fun action, and some humor but the story just falls apart into a total mess. Just filled with spy cliches and twist after twist. Can't say I wasn't entertained at times but this is just dumb. 5/10
Barbie: Lots of fun and I enjoyed the colourful sets and general silliness of the premise. More thought provoking than expected with philosophical themes and a lot to say about feminism. Did feel at times like a shorter premise stretched. Didn't see the point in the Will Ferrell character other than one joke. 9/10
Blackberry: Great movie with lots of laughs and an interesting tech industry story. Like that you can tell it is a Canadian movie but it doesn't rely on hammering any stereotypes. Howerton as Balsillie was awesome. Left me wanting more about his NHL dealings. 9/10
