Mad Max

Starring: The road, the horizon, blue eyes, fire.

The last 30 minutes were enjoyable, but the rest of it just dragged on. There was a scene where I had no idea why Goose was riding down the highway at full speed with suspenseful music playing and then he just crashes into a ditch... Was that supposed to be suspenseful? Also, the plot description on here and on Netflix is a huge spoiler.

A great and realistic look at what the future might hold. True Sci-Fi.

George Miller's original apocalyptic thriller with insane stunt work and a freshman acting performance by Mel Gibson. The film was really ahead of it's time, and still works for modern audiences. Max's journey from a dutiful policeman to a vengeance seeking vigilante send jolts off the screen, and by the end, no one is really sure who the good guys are. Great midnight movie.

One of my all-time favorite action films.

An okay film that spawned two great sequels and one okay sequel. Lets go through the cons first: This film has a lot of worldbuilding going on that's easy to miss. The acting is okay, the plot is pretty barebones, the vacation was pace breaking, the revenge plot takes forever to get to, and the dubbing of American accents was a mistake. The pros: It has a very unique feel to it, the world it's set in is interesting, when max goes on his revenge it's highly entertaining,

Fucking love this one

balling

So so.

Legendary. Awesome sax solo by Mrs. Max

This australian movie is very brutal and depressing in it's message. It's as story of a society that is out of control and tells the story how one police becames the Mad Max. Story follows a young police, played by Mel Gibson, who tries to cope with a chaotic criminals that are presented almost as a brutal animals. The destructive car chases are very effective and became the main point in the sequel.

Mad Max is all car chases and manly posturing, which is well done, but I like coherent plot and characters in my films.

Slow paced but excellent film about a slow death of the world. Be in the mood for a character driven piece rather than "The 1st Road Warrior!" and you'll be in good shape

Sci-fi, Action, Adventure :Moreeeeeeeeeeeee

Honestly quite solid, though more low-key than might be expected.

Movie was entertaining but for some reason I was turned off by the campiness. Usually I'm all for it but it was just hard to get past. I didn't really get the vibe that the world had suffered some nuclear fallout and why things looked the same. Set up the next movies, though.

I accidentally spoiled the ending to this movie by reading the synopsis on IMDB. How can I spoil an ending by reading the synopsis? Because this movie doesn't actually do anything until the last ten minutes. I did not like this movie, it is important to starting the Mad Max series, but I feel as though it holds praise because of the end result, not the lackluster beginning.

YEEEEYA MAD MAX!

Dares you to wonder if we will all evolve into this.

While rock-em sock-em film fun it doesn't transcend for me the way that epic action movies like Aliens and Predator do. Still a great flick. Again, apparently what the conservative of the U.S. envision as idyllic for anyone not wealthy.

An incredible opening salvo in what is perhaps the most nonchalantly gay movie franchise of all time. Toecutter clearly has the hots for Johnny the Boy. One of the most entertaining films of all-time for various reasons, but mostly due to the off-kilter vibe, low budget, and leather daddy overtones.

good film

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

Who rules Barter Town? MastaBlasta!

This is my favourite western.

What can I say - it's got Mel Gibson

The King of ALL Post-Apocalyptic movies."Main Force Patrol...."

The movie that made Gibson a star, this tough Australian sci-fi actioner is like a futuristic Western with its simple plot, simple characters, and straight-ahead direction. Dumped on the drive-in circuit, this developed into a bonafide cult film in the wake of its widely popular first sequel.

the second one was better

I can see why many people from this time that saw the premier or whatever appreciate Mad Max. But the only others who would call this a classic would have to be dumbasses that think cheesy shit is so cool. I found this really boring and that's possibly because I read the synopsis beforehand which ruined the entire plot for me.

Weird watch. There were many moments in the film that had to provoke something in the audience, only it could not pull it off, because the methods used are really dated. Soundtrack is also dated. However, the action scenes were pretty good; I liked the camerawork during scenes and the amateur way of special effects. Really subtle storytelling by todays standards; characters and world were not sufficiently fleshed out for me. Features a band of cheeky characters with fresh lines.

The original Mad Max is one of the best films I have ever seen. The post apocalyptic world is very realistic in my point of view.

Action classic. This film has killed the most people in cinema history...all the bikers trying to outdo the stunts from the film.

Terrible. Fell asleep during it - twice.

A classic Mel Gibson flick

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

While not as good or well received as its follow-up, it's still the original. A nice post-apocalyptic movie.

not sure why this needed to be set in the near-future.

TWO MAN ENTA ONE MAN LEAVE

I wouldn't label it the classic that most people consider it but Mad Max is a decent low budget popcorn flick. At times the plot and characters are a bit shaky and some events just come off as confusing. I think one of its main problems is that it spends so much of the running time building up the characters but delivers a rushed finale. There are some enjoyable moments so I recommend it as a rental. 3 STARS

This here is a fine specimen of the crackbrained movie genre, main indications of which are: amazingly complex story (i.e. me kill you), smart character choices, immense self-reflection (I had a dad once), and superfluous continuity of action scenes (car crashes). Now then, some things dropped out of context sadly and those unnecessary points were attributed for times, when idiotic turned into chaotic, when villains were on screen and vast spaces were shown. But hey, nobody's perfect.

I know people generally comment on how fine young Mel Gibson was before he turned into a racist old man that nobody could love - but how fetching was Toecutter, though? I love a villain who finds time to apply some eye makeup and do yoga on the beach. More Toecutter, please.

About the ultimate gang of motorcycle bandits. Miller's provocative, stimulating cheapie is an entertaining action exploitation film, with chases and crashes to satisfy the most jaded thrill-seeker.

By far the most realistic of the Mad Max movies. This one actually feels like it could be based in real world. The ones afterward are as if they are happening in some sort of fantasy world.

dont waste money on this movie !! it was Totally confusing !!! im glad i saw it on video and not having to pay admission to see it at the theatre !!! minus 0

bad/good. Ah am the naght rauder!
