AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

adonis98-743-186503 In a self-destructing world, a vengeful Australian policeman sets out to stop a violent motorcycle gang. Mad Max showcases what kind of movie you can really make if you have a low budget and the answer is a pretty damn great one. Now don't get me wrong this film has it's fair share of flaws but it's also pretty damn original for it's time. It showcases a dark future where Anarchy has risen, those bikers attack a car and basically turn it to pieces, they kill, they rape and they just don't care. The perfomances are definitely terrific but the real stand out was definitely Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky. (9.0/10)

SlyGuy21 There are parts of this I like, but the movie as a whole just fails to connect with me. The premise is good, the setting's alright, but it only gets interesting during the second half. Even Mel Gibson, who I like as an actor, doesn't have a lot of screen presence here, granted it is only his second role, so I'll give him some slack there. It's not for lack of trying, some parts are good, the action especially, and it helped start Gibson's career as well as help the Australian movie scene. I can respect it for that, but this is for a different audience than me.

Johnny H. Mad Max is quite easily the most famous Australian franchise that ever was. It's seen iterations in not only sequels to this classic movie, but also comic books and video games. And it all started with George Miller's groundbreaking 1979-dystopian-innovation of a film: starring then newcomer, Mel Gibson. The film is HIGH-OCTANE stuff, fast and furious (WELL before Vin Diesel's franchise; pun intended) and mean in a very very memorable way. Bikies, fast cars, revenge, and Madness supreme! Mad Max is a bit of an upsetting film, but this film broke new ground at the time. Its brutality in theme and content was unsurpassed at the time it came out, so much so that it was initially banned in countries New Zealand and Sweden. Of course it would come out later in those places but this censorship proves how much of an impact and shock Mad Max left in its wake. And let me tell you; this film is cinema history. Without this we wouldn't have things like post-apocalyptic fiction in games, comics or t.v. even.If you haven't seen the movie, give it a watch and continue the Mad Max series if you so desire.

Eddie Cantillo Mad Max(1979) Starring: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Roger Ward, Vincent Gil, Geoff Parry, Jonathan Hardy, Reg Evans, Lisa Aldenhoven, Gil Tucker, Sheila Florance, David Cameron, and Christine Kaman Directed By: George Miller Review The Maximum Force Of The Future Everyone has been watching the old Mad Max films to watch the new one in the series that is out in theaters. I've great things about all four movies. But this first entire it was. it was, it was, boring! In a dystopic future Australia, a vicious biker gang murder a cop's family and make his fight with them personal. The film opens with a car chase where we get introduced to Max who takes down this psychopath who calls himself the Knight Rider. The rest of the Knight Rider clan show up to take their revenge. Their were a lot of good stuff in this film, the acting is pretty good, the score is amazing, and the action is pretty okay. I was expecting something simplistic and grander then what I got. I believe it should of been like Punisher where you see his family get axed in the beginning or maybe they have that opening sequence but instead that knight rider from the beginning kills his wife and son and then the rest of the knight riders show up to take their revenge. I don't know I like a lot of things about this movie as I've stated but after that opening sequence I just felt bored. Until then the knight riders showed up and terrorized a couple, then they killed Maxes family and he takes revenge. Mad Max is a pretty fine start but the lack of action that flows with the story just made me feel bored and want take my pillow. I'm giving Mad Max a two and a half out of five.
