Good concept, poorly executed.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I hadn't seen the first Mad Max movies. So i started to watch them. And my thoughts on The first one are good. It isn't anything really special, but what i like is that with a really small budget they did some cool action scenes. The first half of the movie is pretty average and boring for me. But the second half is much better. The Acting goes from bad to good. Nothing too special but still pretty good. The stunts are really good and i really liked what they pulled off. For conclusion, i liked it but it wasn't anything new for me.(Also it's my first review and i'm sorry if there's any grammatical errors)

There are parts of this I like, but the movie as a whole just fails to connect with me. The premise is good, the setting's alright, but it only gets interesting during the second half. Even Mel Gibson, who I like as an actor, doesn't have a lot of screen presence here, granted it is only his second role, so I'll give him some slack there. It's not for lack of trying, some parts are good, the action especially, and it helped start Gibson's career as well as help the Australian movie scene. I can respect it for that, but this is for a different audience than me.

Mad Max is quite easily the most famous Australian franchise that ever was. It's seen iterations in not only sequels to this classic movie, but also comic books and video games. And it all started with George Miller's groundbreaking 1979-dystopian-innovation of a film: starring then newcomer, Mel Gibson. The film is HIGH-OCTANE stuff, fast and furious (WELL before Vin Diesel's franchise; pun intended) and mean in a very very memorable way. Bikies, fast cars, revenge, and Madness supreme! Mad Max is a bit of an upsetting film, but this film broke new ground at the time. Its brutality in theme and content was unsurpassed at the time it came out, so much so that it was initially banned in countries New Zealand and Sweden. Of course it would come out later in those places but this censorship proves how much of an impact and shock Mad Max left in its wake. And let me tell you; this film is cinema history. Without this we wouldn't have things like post-apocalyptic fiction in games, comics or t.v. even.If you haven't seen the movie, give it a watch and continue the Mad Max series if you so desire.
