Mad Max 2 Review

Review of Mad Max 2 (1981) by screenqueeen: 👍 5/5

Loads of fun and Humungus's dogs of war are so characteristically different from each other. Loved how Max literally gives Wez and Humungus the climax of their lifetimes -- by driving Wez into Humungus's vehicle head on.

I almost prefer this hero's journey to how STAR WARS utilizes theirs. Max automatically rejects the hero worship he receives from the group, while the gyro captain decides to lead the community off to greener pastures and take some credit (as well as a wife). Every road sequence is just mesmerizing in scale and execution. Bless the stunt workers and their insane commitments, and bless George Miller.
