Customer Reviews of Mad Max 2 - The Road Warrior
A Trilogy of Reviews for Groundhog's Day Part 2 Now this movie is much different from Part 1. This is a movie about a man and his dog in the near future. This is a new type of review I call an "A thought-dream of future events" style. <

>I'm going to share a little Howard Tuttleman secret with you. I've never tried dog-food, but I'm highly considering it because of this movie. In the future, when we are scavengers and have to sur-vive, I may have to do things that I'm not normally inclined to. This includes sharing a meal with my dog-panion as M. Gibson does in this movie. The reason that I'm so casually admitting this is because I'd like to warn you, the reader out there, that my genious detects a 5-SKULL future-nightmare on the horizon and this movie depicts it very well. <
> <
>Some may think this is just one of those end-of-the-world-drive-around-and-stuff-blows-up-movies, but it's not. Way back when whenever this movie was made, they knew that there was going to be an oil crisis and a big war and from what I hear-around, that's kind of like what's going on....right about now, and it's the type of major event that I've been preparing for, A FULL-ON URBAN-WAR-ZONE. But like I said, it's just a warning. <

>In this movie, the dog does such great tricks. It's like him and the Road-Warrior are of the same mind. Oh how they trick people together. Unfortunately the Dog-Warrior eventually takes an arrow for M. when they are attacked by ogre-ish Harley-Bopper types. <
> <
>Unlike in Flight of the Navigator where the boy chooses a space-ship to replace the bond that he had with his dog, M. chooses a savage boy who he treats like a dog. Actually, now that I think about it, this dog-boy catches frisbees just like the dog from F.O.T.N. Amazing! I think I've just mined a great big hunk of brain-gold on this one! LOL! But seriously, I will look into frisbees as ammunition later. WHOA! I mean as in not now, this is NOT the end of the review. I almost submitted by habit! <

>I give this movie 5 stars because I feel it is my destiny. Later. <

A Very Dated And Laughable Action Movie!
Sadly this movie has not stood the test of time. It looked okay in 1982 when it was first released but it is unintentionally a funny movie now. In this film we see Mel Gibson as Max "A Burned Out Shell Of A Man "(cliche ) who stumbles across a petrol refinery. The editing in this film is a joke and Max 's car gets totalled which all happens in about 3 seconds. You see the car on the road then it flips over about 3 times. This does not even happen to me after too many glasses of Chivas Regal Scotch .The only good reason to watch this film is to see the beautiful ex model turned succesful actress Virginia Hey who went on the much better things in the hit series "Farscape" .
Essentual example of stellar film making.

>Many reviewers have articulated the fine features of this film. Allow me to throw a few of my own unique ones into the pot.
<
>
<
>Collapse of Western Civilization: I don't think its been done better. The screenwriters set it up with excellent reality making it entirely credible.
<
>
<
>Use of visuals: One of the beautiful aspects of the film is that it uses visuals and music instead of dialogue to tell the story in many scenes. That results in 100% brillance. So often today films have to overkill the dialogue. This is done with taste and quality. Its a lesson to modern filmakers.
<
>
<
>Tension: The music score is perfect augmenting the feeling in the scene that accompanies it. The editing is also flawless.
<
>
<
>Story: As a person who understands human nature the story is entirely believable. Western civilization falls, all hell breaks loose it becomes kill or be killed leading to anarchy. Thus, the "sane" world becomes rapidly devoured up by chaos.
<
>
<
>Acting: No weak performances. All the characters flesh out wonderfully.
<
>
<
>Many would consider this not a "chick" flick. (I can't believe I typed that cliche) It is a deeply intense drama that brutally represents of what the world would be like if anarchy ruled. It might turn off some for that dark protrayal. For me personally, I view this as a post apocalypse "Gladiator." Gladiator had many of the excellent film and story traits this film has.
<
>
<
>Simply put - Probably the best example of the post apocalypse genre in terms of story, film making and editing. If you don't have it you are missing an excellent piece.
