It starts strong with a good chasing scene but then it just get's weird and plain boring. The basic synopsis takes the first hour and 15 minutes and then it adds some action at the end with one of the most anticlimactic endings I've ever encounter.

Still a remarkable picture and fantastic action, the remake hasn’t got anything on the original.

Mel Gibson pulls off a super performance.

Check to see how much it cost to make this movie. $200K. You try to make a movie this good with that much money with car crashes and explosions. They paid Mel like $15K australian. The Road Warrior was way better, but they had a bigger budget.

It's a very sad movie. Not because of the quality or anything. That's awesome. I mean the plot. Now I finally understand why it's considered a cult movie. Highly recommended!

I rewatched this and enjoyed it more than the first time. I paid attention to the gang more than the MFP and I love the relationships between members. The younger members are more feral, what will become the War Boys, and the leader is nearly worshipped, The Nightrider saying "Toecutter knows me, Toecutter sees me!" is just like the call of "Witness Me" in Fury Road. Toecutter & Immortan Joe are played by the same actor if you didn't know. I loved it.

I'm not sure why this movie is considered a classic nor why it launched Mel Gibson's career. He was wooden. It was pretty bad. Possibly the worst musical score I've ever heard in a movie. None of the music fits the scene. It sounds like it belongs in the 1960's Batman TV show.

"What if it were the apocalypse and....the police wore LEATHER. Wow that's an idea. We should make a movie about cops who dress in leather." Honestly, the poster is the most interesting thing about the movie.

An enjoyable, well-directed action-thriller, with a satisfying plot and great action sequences, but with bland supporting characters, underdeveloped premise and awkward pacing.

This is a classic, isn't it? Maybe because it was 1979 and not many revenge movies had been made by then. The dystopian society was not something new, I am sure, but the production design elevates it to something interesting. I think in terms of makeup, hairstyling, set decoration, sound and special effects, it is quite good. But the story is not remarkable, at least for 2023. The editing is good and bad: great moments and also terrible ones, the exageration in some frames (what is the matter with those eyes?) made me feel unattached.

Reddit has no idea what they're missing out on, they're too busy circlejerking the shit out of Fury Road.

It was alright. The action was pretty good but it did get kinda boring in the middle. It is sort of a classic and for its time was good. The acting was not that good. I felt that at the end they could have done way more with Max’s revenge it was disappointing. Overall it’s a decent action movie, that if they had more money to make the movie it would have been better.

(6 out of 10)

Nach 40 Jahren, kann ich mir heute nicht vorstellen was jemand an dem Film je gefunden haben kann. Billig, Overacted und Handbüchernes Drehbuch....auf einmal ist der Film zu Ende?

It's an interesting 70's Australian film for sure. I wouldn't rate it very highly but somehow I've seen it 5 times now. The story and editing is super strange and at times is difficult to follow what George Miller is trying to convey. The grittiness of the engines roaring and drive to kill the motor gang is the most exciting part. Also the community around it and how most people ignore this classic makes me love the film more. While it's no masterpiece or even great movie, I still give it a solid 7/10.

The stunts still look great, especially if we think this was shot on a shoestring budget in the seventies. The rest is pretty dull: the actual plot kicks in the last twenty minutes, but there’s not much interesting happening until then. It’s all about portraying this world on the verge of the apocalypse, but despite the captivating punkish mood, it’s sloppier than it is gritty. The soundtrack was surprisingly atrocious too. The shot with Mel Gibson waking up from a nightmare is absolutely hilarious.

I watched this movie after I have already seen Mad Max: Fury Road, I thought this one brings a good origin to the saga, but the best thing of the franchise is the dystopian world and the action. This movie doesn't introduce the dystopian world that I saw in Fury Road and the action shots are kind of dated.

My experience of this franchise coming into this movie was Fury Road and the most recent video game. This movie is NOT what I expected it to be. It also really shows it’s age. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad, and it’s actually quite good for it’s time. But it’s not something I would recommend to everyone, and something I would preferably recommend to an older crowd (that might accept the films age) or someone that wants to see the whole franchise (to which I would say this is still worth watching).

Rating: 3/5 - 7.5/10 - Worth Watching
