Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Overhyped and below average
Anya Joy Taylor seems incredibly lightweight for this part and (even in the quasi fantasy world of Mad Max) is not badass enough to pull of the tough woman role. She's getting off easy in reviews.
Outside of that the plot is very basic and the basic style is Fury Road on repeat, but less stylish. Stunts same, but a bit less real.
The whole thing feels utterly pointless and redundant and though some might enjoy big pointless action movies, there is literally no reason to care what's happening given we already know Furiosas story and Anya Joy Taylor doesn't give a charismatic or compelling enough portrayal to overcome that, nor is the movie fresh or stylish enough to overcome it.
Pointless movie, let it go, Gibson was Mad Max, then the Furiosa story was a interlude in that world, but it's time to let it go and enjoy what already exists rather than continue to make tired revisits to the Australian Wasteland.
The First Omen (2024)
Terrible hatchet job retcons the Omen
Whatever hack made this utterly predictable for 2024 Omen prequel should be ashamed of themselves for being so talentless, yet thinking they could rewrite a classic movie and story made by people more talented and original than themselves.
First of stylistically this is yet another lame homage based movie that tries to put a slick new generic appearance on a classic horror franchise name and thinks sticking a few shots reminiscent of its predecessor somehow makes it more artistic or prestigious.
Second the story - a lame retcon in which the church is of course actually evil (not you know, the Devil like the entire series has been about) and possible for the anti christ for some reason. Oh and the cool story about Damien's mother being a jackal? That's been changed too.
Absolute hack work.
