This is the best summary I could come up with:


The embargo broke for social media reactions to Furiosa, the eagerly anticipated prequel to the 2015 stunner Mad Max: Fury Road.

Early social reactions can sometimes be a bit different (typically more enthusiastic) than official critic reviews, and surely there are many more to come soon.

But based on the first batch Monday evening, Furisoa is a visual stunner with “ferocious, wild and unrelenting” action and a story that “spans decades,” with strong performances from the two leads.

Furisoa is in “a different gear” and “won’t match Fury Road’s splendor” in a way that “might frustrate” some audiences.

Different than is not necessarily bad, however, and this might be a case of viewers having a tough time shaking off their expectations going into the theater (the Furiosa trailers, after all, sell the new film as being rather exactly like Fury Road).

In any case, many consider Fury Road one of the best action films ever made — certainly one of the best this century — so any comparison, even one where Furiosa comes up a notch or two short, is still complimentary.
