Yeah, I was always impressed by how much Anya mimicked Charlize's vocal style so beautifully.
So much so that I initially wondered if she was dubbed by Theron in parts.
Anya got that deep tone spot on.

Wait that was actually her I for certain thought they ADR with CT!
Going to go back in thread and read when people started seeing it. I watched it yesterday. I really enjoyed it. Shame it bombed.
Less Furiosa. More Romulus.
Welp, just watched it for the first time at home, (3rd time seeing it total)
I believe I am bumping it up a point to a 9/10.
Miller in his usual genius , cannot be fully comprehended with a viewing or two. Much like Fury Road, seeing this film multiple times give greater depth and story.
There are some serious layers here that are only becoming more apparent each watch....much of which is helped by the incredible behind the scenes footage.
Once again, a lot of what we THINK is CGI is not. And the story is only enhanced by looking for the little things. I highly recommend watching the behind the scenes and then going back for another viewing. There is a lot to be noticed that you just miss the first or even second go round.
Pay particular attention to the leather jacket Furiosa is wearing. Some weird stufff going on there with the missing sleeve...which end up being her missing arm ...
Max is also missing a sleeve , the opposite one, in Fury Road.
I can tell you this, I will NEVER hear Dementus voice the same again after hearing what Helmworth said was his inspiration......it's somehow adds to the character ina very weird way.
The CGI for all of the Bullet Farm sequence is still dodgy as hell, I mean totally unprofessional and wonky. But the story is such high stakes it's overlooked (for the most part)
But damn some of that sequence must have been a secondary unit or director, cause it terrible to witness at times....

to me young furiosa part was the best part of the movie because the kid actress was in more dangerous situations than adult furiosa and I hate to say it but the young furiosa gave a better performance.
I'm not trying to be funny, she genuinely did better. Anya Taylor Joy didn't feel like she had as much energy as the younger version.
Anya was fine but she was trying to imitate Charlize and Charlize was soft spoken in fury road and tired. and that kind of hurt Anya for me.
but the young kid could just be herself, she was more interesting.
Anya has great action scenes. but she needed more energy.
the problem with Dementus is that in your head you are starting to think, "why does anyone follow this guy" ? how is he Alive? how is he a leader?
he's really dumb, he's really incompetent. yeah he's violent and brutal, but you start to think " this guy is so dumb, how did he survive for so long "
that was my problem.
yeah he's awesome and the performance is great and he's funny. he's charismatic, full of energy ( the opposite of Anya furiousa)
but when I watch this I think, how did dementus win so much for so long?

Are you trying to be funny or something!
I enjoy the movie, but agree with all of this.
I'm not hating on Anya ( I always love her) and I'm not hating on dementus. he was amazing. ( he really was awesome)
but after Anya shows up and After Dementus takes over the oil rig, the movie slows down and is not as interesting as with little furiosa.
even dementus himself is more interesting before he takes over the oil rig.

He was smart enough to invade gas town
and he is also smart enough not to kill Furiosa directly because he knows that she knows the location of the green lands.He is also brave and strong to dare to confront Immortan Joe face to face. He's like the cult leader and his men are quite stupid.
But he's not as smart as the Joker or immortan Joe, and I think he's less ruthless or sociopathic, after killing Praetorian Jack, and tying Furiosa up by one arm, when he sits on the hood of the monster trunck, he looks worn out, and he's starting to get tired of all that.
I think his family was really killed and he knows he has become trash himself.
He is mentally declining, but that's my opinion.It makes him a nuanced character that's more interesting than a pure villain.

Corporations and establishments that are run by MBA’s and Lawyers fail on a daily basis in an intact society can you imagine in a post apocalyptic one?
Grant it modern society MBA’s and Lawyers are just as equally insane as Dementus….look at Disney Town lol

Dementus was an idiot. That's the point, it's the wasteland, some people are going to be clever survivors (Max), some are going to be fodder for capable dictators like Immortan Joe, and some are going to lucky strongmen like Dementus. He was a cruel idiot from the first start, stumbling from plans that worked to ones that don't.
Makes total sense a person like this would exist in George's world of Max.

We have these type of people in the world now, people that seem to fail upward constantly.
I find it very frustrating in life, which is why Dementus touched a nerve on my last viewing and bugged me.
