Review of Mad Max 2 (1981) by Lukechristiansc — 16 May 2015
George Miller's sequel is filled will competence battle sequences I do not think it is prowess like the first one, but it's definitely the best sequel I've seen in years. A former-cop named Max is back on the road again! after his wife and young son die in the hands of a vicious gang, drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australia, fending of the tribes attacks that prey on cruel outsiders.
Max stumbles upon a community filled with survivors; they plan to steal the gang's oil. But soon becomes the group's reluctant defender against the hulking Humungus (Kjell Nilsson) and his ruthless marauders.
Director George Miller comes back to the franchise and adds stripes of flavor towards the story with taste and with kick ass visuals; the filmmakers have made a proper good looking sequel we know the story has changed, but the good thing about the film is that Gibson's performance is just the same filled with tension and it's memorizing! the villain (who looks like Jason Voorhess), was the best villain I've seen.
I liked the first one there's something about this film that does not spark, the film was okay it had epic storytelling but I think there's something missing towards the last one.
