Nonureva Really Surprised!

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

SlyGuy21 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.

Johnny H. 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.

Kiiro Sagi Good for it's time, great for it's budget sadly it hasn't aged well. Simply put, the acting is as bad as most action flicks of it's era and the story has proportionally bad. What it really has going for it is world building and character. It does not compromise on it's artistic vision, it takes risks and they pay off. This is the one that started it all, the pioneer, the trendsetter, but nothing more, nothing less. Unless you want insignificant lore or are studying film I suggest you give this one a pass and go start from part 2.

slightlymad22 It is easy to forget, not that long ago Gibson was one of the kings of Hollywood.  He was so loved that even if he made a poor movie, his hoards of fans always came out in force, and it wouldn't flop. Then came the meltdowns. His fans and seemingly most of his friends deserted him (a few publicly said positive things about him) Hollywood blackballed him, and his career was seemingly over as many casual movie fans can't look at the man anymore without seeing a totally vile, despicable human being. Yet somehow, he could be looking an Oscar nomination for best director soon. So I thought I would look back at Mel Gibson's roller-coaster career. Starting with Mad Max Plot In A Paragraph: As society crumbles around him, a vengeful police officer (Gibson) attempts to stop a vicious motorcycle gang.I outright do not like this movie, I love the final scene, and the preceding 20 minutes are OK, but getting there is not worth the effort. Watching this now, I never would have believed Gibson would grow old in the business.
