A classic

I remember it very well, I saw this flick when I was very young, I was maybe 12 years old and probably much too young to watch something like this but I was quite impressed at the time and I thought it was really awesome. Anyway, after all these years, it remains my favorite Mad Max installment (apparently, Mel Gibson shares this feeling as well). Indeed, in my opinion, it is with this movie that they really created the trademark look of this franchise inspiring most of the post-apocalyptic features which have been made ever after. This time, George Miller had a bigger budget (allegedly 10 times larger than its predecessor) and it was apparently the most expensive Australian production ever made at the time. Anyway, the whole thing looked pretty awesome and Mel Gibson was really bad-ass back in those days. Still, even though I always had a weak spot for this movie when I was a kid, I’m not so sure if it is actually so amazing. I mean, it was really original (at least back then) and the mood was really interesting but the story was not really amazing in my opinion. Still, it remains one of the best sequels ever made and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
