Review of Mad Max 2 (1981) by Thequietgamer — 30 Oct 2015
Miller's sequel is just as violent as it's predecessor. It doesn't do too much different outside of a more apocalyptic setting and feel. The villains are just as outlandish as ever, but the characters aren't as well defined. The story does have more focus though.
The thrill here is in watching some brutal violence in a world gone to heck. Things are certainly desperate and there's a sense of hopelessness that encompasses the film's biggest action, chase scene. Everything is well shot and director George Miller pulls no punches in depicting the brutality of the world.
It's exciting and has some tense action. If you enjoyed the previous Mad Max there's no reason you won't enjoy this one. It doesn't offer much in the way of particularly new content, but is still a satisfying dose of what could rightfully be called more of the same. If you are looking for more post-apocalyptic action, "Road Warrior" delivers in grand, unflinching fashion.
