Rated Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 6/10

Took a while but it eventually captured the cool factor of Fury Road, albeit at a lesser degree.  It entertained the hell out of me though. Got chaotic at times, which made me forget the character's' motivations.  Prequels are tough because it dissects the thing which usually kills it in the process. Caught myself wondering when Furiosa would lose her arm and shave her head.  The first act was too slow and exposition-y for me for these reasons.  Having 4 acts is rarely a good idea, and this is no exception.  Chris Hemsworth chewed the hell out of the scenery. Thought he was trying to be Heath Ledger's Joker.   Despite my criticisms I still enjoyed more than I disliked.
