Rating: 5.0
Action Packed
This is Mel Gibson's first starring movie role and he took the world by storm. This movie was a perfect vehicle to launch Mel's career. It gave him a chance to play the hansome hero with a full range of emotions (which he pulls off quite well). If it weren't for Gibson this movie wouldn't be anywhere near as good. Sure you get some good supporting actors, but lets face it. This movie is about Max, and Max has to carry the story.This is a low budget but excellent movie.There is certain scenes in this movie which you play over and over,like the scene when Max saw his black car.The crash at the start of the movie is awsome.I hate it when his wife and kid gets killed,but when he goes after the bikes and kills them,it realy gets to you.While Mad Max 2 is my personal favorite of the 3 movies,this is a close second.
