The 1980 feature has spawned many imitations, all of which have interpreted the film as being about cops fighting punk-garbed bad guys, but not one has recognized that the film’s story was secondary to its exhilarating sense of style. It…

This is the movie that started it all- and while it might not be the best of the bunch ( that would be the 2nd movie Road Warrior with Fury Road close behind )- it still merits watching if you enjoy this excellent post apocalyptic series.

How to rate this (very influential, memorable) movie?
In the end: four stars. That's a higher rating than some would give it, and on the face of what's seen here, I understand that. Judged from its story and it's telling, it's a good "B"…
First: yes, it does have some pacing problems through the second act. Not gonna lie.
With a modern eye, some of the visuals are kinda rough.
But: Hugh is amazing as The Toecutter. He exudes menace and a Manson-like charisma.

Just didn't enjoy it. I expected a high octane thrill ride with mui matcho moments. LAMO. I am into cheap thrills, action, and unnecessary violence and badassery that really pushes the limits of logic. Nothing. Gibson does have some…

Mad Max is my favorite movie series. Although this isn't the best movie in the series it's still amazing and better than the 3rd one. And made with only 300,000 dollars!!

George Miller's Mad Max is brilliant in its action-sequences and overall thrills. Though there are some slight malfunctions in its transitions, this film is still far ahead of its time for being a dystopian action thriller in the latter…

The original Mad Max was a well made Ozplotation film. Not all that great, with the exception of Mel Gibson. Without Mel's range from family man to full on Mad Max it would've been forgotten. The sequel and even the third one are much…

Nowhere near as good as its direct sequel or the recent new entry in the series (Road warrior and Fury Road respectively). That said, Mad Max is still well worth a watch although it's age is showing. If Fury Road was your first exposure to…

This is the 1979 version. The newer version is Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).

My main impression of this movie is road scenes. My second impression is that in a violent future, women are as useless as dolls in a fire fight. Any remake would be better than this.
