Mad Max 2 3 And A Half Out Of 5.

Mad Max 2 is a plot driven action feature that is a forward pass on its genre as it retells it with a genuine soul residing within it. The poetic theme missing in the previous is installed subtly that helps delivering the plot and the protagonist just the right amount of gravitas that it needed.

Ticking for around 90 minutes, it is exhilarating and gripping, with a concrete material to offer to the viewers. The script isn't structured appropriately nor is it edited better, but it is undeniably a stand alone feature especially in its last act that is culminated into a long but entertaining chase sequence. George Miller; the screenwriter and director, has up the ante of the game with not only his explicit writing but his brilliant execution skills that helps the feature connect with the viewers frame to frame. The performance has improved a lot since last time by the protagonist Mel Gibson especially but it still is a bumpy road on this lane since it doesn't get much range to factor in and leave the essential impression. The chemistry among the characters is built-up in a subtle yet effective way and the makers being aware since it is the only piece of plotline that can and does resonate with the audience instantly.

Mad Max 2 is cynically dangerous yet firmly kind on its advanced mythology that is worth exploring.
