What I Liked About This Movie

Oddly enough I saw this before after seeing the two sequels (The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome). It is kind of shame I did because it does add a lot of depth to Mad Max’s character.

To sum up the movie for those who are not a fan of reading a lot; Mad Max is a tightly wound adrenaline fueled car chase movie with Gibson at his highest level of cool. With interesting looking vehicles, entertainingly campy acting/dialogue and believably crazy bad guys Mad Max is a blast to watch.

What Didn’t Work For Me

A few of the dramatic scenes are neither tense nor heartfelt. They are shot well, it’s the unfittingly over dramatic music that really kills them. The music should have been a lot more subtle. Another problem I had was the editing. It felt like they were trying to inject some unnecessary character development by editing in a few scenes that were not detrimental to the story.

Should You Watch This Movie?

I highly recommend you watch Mad Max.
