Hideo Kojima is the legendary Japanese video game developer known for creating several brilliant video games likeDeath Stranding,Metal Gear, and many more. Yet the video game developer has a great affinity to movies and is often seen praising one or the other. Famous for his one-word remarks about movies that he abhorred, Kojima recently wrote a long paragraph on George Miller’sFuriosa: A Mad Max Saga.
A prequel to the Oscar-winningFury Road,the movie has so far been struggling to make ends meet at the global box office. As it drags itself across the box office, Kojima’s spectacular review might be the only chance the movie has got.

WithGeorge Miller‘sFuriosain theatres, it was but expected that Kojima would react to the film. The prequel to the critically acclaimedMad Max: Fury Roadhas been quite literallycrawling across the box officeand has so far failed to come equal to its production budget of $168 million (viaDeadline).
In his most recenttweet, Kojima shared photos of himself at the theatre and his blue-ray purchases and wrote,
Saw Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga in IMAX for the third time. Bought 3 booklets. The chase scene with Octoboss (the name is like MGS). It still makes me roar no matter how many times I see it. The rhythm of the movement and the attacks backwards, forwards, under the truck, in the air and on the truck, the direction, and the camera.
In his long review, he went on to state how he loved the many action sequences and called it no less than an art, Kojima added at the end.

As several fans agreed with Hideo Kojima and his opinion onFuriosa, some also exclaimed that they would be watching the movie after all. As die-hard fans of the franchise hope the movie can at least recover its production cost, Kojima’s review will certainly have an impact, even if it’s a small one on the franchise.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Sagais in theatres now.
