Typically tacky 70s/80s B-movie view of dystopia (where 'the future' is just an overly-camp pantomime version of the present) that mainly relies on the sound of gunning engines to cover a thin and often nonsensical plot. The vast majority of the acting is really amateur stuff, the score doesn't seem to fit at all, and we only see 'Mad' Max for the last 5-10 unfulfilling minutes. Has it's moments, but how it spawned two sequels is beyond me.

Classic! Not as good as The Road Warrior, but still fairly stupendous.

It seems to be an aimless love letter to automobiles until it finally becomes about Max in the last half hour. The world created in the film is interesting enough though.

Awesome portrayal of what true anarchy might be like.

Mad Max is a good film. But since I can't remember why, I'll leave it at that.

This is a movie until it's fun, but I expected a little more. It has a simple story but a cool atmosphere. But things have incredibly cheesy and cliche, as the villains. Is not great, but you can find some fun here.

It truly is hell being Mel.

Not as good as the Road Warrior, but far better than Beyond Thunderdome, Mad Max helped kickstart a resurgence of Australian genre pictures, and for that alone the genre crowd will be forever in its debt.

This movie is worth seeing for the cars alone, and I'm not even into cars that much.

I don't get it...
