jsullivan2219 Was this supposed to entertain me because it did the complete opposite, I actually wanted to sleep through most of it. Tom Hardy is one of my favorite actors and he disappointed me being in this horrible disaster of a movie. It literally was a long car ride to nowhere. Avoid at all costs

Katie Jurek One of the most engaging movies I've watched in a long while.

scottbeaudette While I wasn't overwhelmed with this movie as a whole, there is no denying that the action sequences were over-the-top in the best way possible. Costuming and design was brilliant along with some outstanding stunts and effects. I enjoyed the action and thought that Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron contributed all they could. It's an action movie and that's about it.I guess I expected a little more substance being a fanboy of the prior films. In fact, I think Thunderdome is still my favorite for the amount of humanism in it. Maybe that's the point I missed, that people are pretty much gone. Humanity is a relic of the old world. But it's more than that. It seems like this script is more what you'd expect from Hollywood - the villains don't get to be human anymore, they're too busy being archetypal bad guys, only the heroes get the opportunity for redemption. I don't like black and white characters and everyone felt pretty flat.The visions that Max had were just odd to me too. They seemed way out of character for him. I know he's a tortured soul, but I felt like we were missing something. He's always been the reluctant hero that ends up saving everyone but himself. I've always hoped Max would maybe stumble across Never Never Land one day and find a new way, but this is just a reboot, not a continuation. Too bad.

figueroa_j I was 30 when I watched the first Mad Max installment. I was expecting more action in1980. Watching this "remake" of the second installment taped in 1982, I finally got the action I wanted then. Boy, this is ACTION, no kidding, and not for the faint of heart. This one is so we'll done that you immerse in the it and have to remember you ought to breathe from time to time.I now see that the subtle message of first Mad Max: in 1979 the fundamental prediction of the current progressive thinking, the last vestiges of the law to attempt restaining vicious gangs. Max, an officer without any legal support, is left without any options but to take the law on his personal hands against those who killed his wife and son. It is clear the Justice system cannot help him. Max becomes a brutal revenger hunting down and murdering those who had the law "protection". In fact, this is very similar to today's human rights or progressive groups more worried about those who violate the law instead of those who are victims or those who are in compliance with the law.
