It apparently doesn't even have Charlize Theron
The one review I read that was being really generous basically said it doesnt fit in with the rest of the films and doesn't really stand on its own

I would pay to go see a film about furiosa getting her wasteland mutant eyes corrected to something human looking
This entire film is just whatsherface trying to break into action movies.

It's a prequel for a character in a movie that barely broken even.
The title has "Mad Max" in it even though there is no Mad Max in the movie.
The leads (alien lady and Thor) in this aren't even box office draws outside franchise movies.
I'm not sure whose
idea was it to drop nearly 170 mil on this turd.

It's a bizarre choice of everything, my biggest gripe is still the egregious amount of CGI
To be absolutely fair, the Mad Max franchise has always been experimental. They cast tina turner in Beyond Thunderdome and there was a musical number iirc, so we can't be TOO harsh

Agreed about the experimental part. Thunderdome cost 10 mil back in the day. That's around 30 mil now adjusting for inflation.
This thing cost over 5 times that. Budgets need to get in control. It's how Disney had a disastrous year last year.

Jfc and thunderdome had to pay for both mel gibson AND tina turner

Yep, and I'm not sure where all the money went. The CGI in trailers looks meh. The leads couldn't possibly be demanding that much money, the titular actress is a nobody from a box office POV. Thor might have a bit of sway thanks to Marvel movies.

It doesn't make any sense. Fury Road had lots of irl vehicles and props to pay for but with more CGI the budget has to have gone to hookers and blow or smth
Sure as shit didn't spend it on marketing

It's partly on Hollywood being just a place where everyone is trying to out
each other - the triple whammy of pandemic, strikes and AI resulted in lots of yapping from film production people and the shit they're doing.... I read them arguing whether unions mandating a specific person on set that often works just 1-2 hours a day and chills the rest, but is billed for 10hrs or however long they're working that day, is reasonable or not.
The other thing is, CGI is expensive. You're doing things frame by frame, running heavy simulations for dust, fire etc., and then you have to fit it together temporally too. And then the director might change his mind and you're redoing a scene.
They opened a new VFX house for this movie (and of course going forward), that employs 500 people.
And it wasn't even the only VFX studio working on the movie

The Mad Max franchise is funny because it created an iconic and influential setting that several other works have taken direct inspiration from, but the franchise itself is largely irrelevant and forgettable.

Chris Hemsworth is a box office draw of his own. Not to the same degree as Chris Pratt but the movie might've succeeded if he was the main character.

Outside Marvel and other ensemble movies, not a single movie of his broke 500 mil. In fact, most of his leading movies lose money.
He's a character actor (and not even a particularly good one) with great looks who lucked into Thor. He will be coasting on that for the rest of his career.

Chris Hemsworths' last feature film also did so poorly that he had to come out and apologize for it, probably to convince people that he wouldn't be as much of a clown in Furiosa since he's playing an absurd character that people would expect to be just as r-slurred as he was in Thor Love and Thunder
