if you sat someone down who had never seen any of the Mad Max movies and never seen the Marvel movies before and was shown these 2 movies 99% of people are going to go Fury Road. it is a great stand alone film, Infinity War without knowing the franchise and having seen the previous films doesn't hold up as a single stand alone movie.
Both are the most perfectly paced blockbusters of the past decade . But Infinity War is better due to the emotional impact and the fact that it feels earned over 18 movies . The fact that it has had the most impactful and iconic movie villain in pop culture over the past 5 - 10 years as well.
As a stand alone movie, Fury road. That movie was a pleasant surprise. Great film.
Infinity War just kinda starts and if you dont know the characters, its really just another action movie, albeit a great one.
However, if you have knowledge of the MCU and have been following the story line, Infinity War is better.
I remember watching Fury Road and actually really liking it despite never seeing the other Mad Max movies.
I might need to watch it again, but for now I'll pick IW.
If you have invested all the time, Endgame. If you're going in 100% blind, Fury Road.
Fury Road is just one amazingly constructed chase sequence bookended by a little setup/worldbuilding and brief denouement. You could show it to just about anyone and they'd enjoy it if they're a fan of action.
