A more family friendly Max film. That is pretty much Max and Peter Pan’s Lost Boys teaming up. The last action scene does at least feel like Mad Max.
I find the film entertaining. Even if the middle doesn’t make much sense. With Max being mistaken for a pilot and worshipped by a young tribe.
I love the film though since with Tina Turner in the movie and doing the soundtrack. The movie feels more pure 80’s than the other films. Acting wise, I have seen people say she can’t act. I think she makes her villain character likable. What she has to do in the movie, she does quite fine.
It is weird that Bruce Spence is playing a pilot but not the same character as he did in Road Warrior. It should have just been the same guy.
There’s too much complaints that this isn’t enough like the others. I would dare say there’s more plot to this than Fury Road had. The movie smartly builds it’s way up to the usual Mad Max style car chase scene.
Sadly the critics got this movie better than normal viewers. It is still a post apocalyptic film. Still very much a Mad Max film, stop whining.
