So today I finally watched the original Mad Max movie trilogy (before this my only previous expirience with the franchise was "Fury Road";which, of course, helped me to get into the series).
Mad Max: In some scenes you can clearly see Mel Gibson was only just getting into acting. For a rookie he was doing a good job nonetheless. Beautiful cinematography, fast paced action and awesome stunts make this movie a winner.
Mad Max 2: Mel Gibson's performance was better than in the previous film. The car chases are as excitingly pulse-pounding as ever. Miller's cinematography is decidedly Un-Hollywood. He gives us many breathtaking camera angles, some of which are sometimes a bit shaky, which serves to make the action even more involving. Easily the best of the trilogy.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (a.k.a Mad Max III): While is true that this is probably the least good of the Mad Max films, It still is very creative, and the action has a wonderful momentum. I love the whole society that finds Max in the desert. I loved the recitation of their foundation, and I loved their dialect. I loved Masterblaster (mostly because they reminded me of Ferra/Torr from MKX. In fact, I wounld't be surprised if it turns out that the later was inspired by the former). And Tina Turner was actually cool, too.
Something worth noting out is that whilst the original Mad Max featured the crumbling of civilization and Max's loss of humanity all of the sequels feature him regaining his humanity and restoring what was lost.
