Mad Max 2 is a really good movie because it keeps everything really simple. The characters don't go through a lot of development instead they are just really well drawn. The action scenes have simple actions going on, and there is nothing more invigorating then watching an actual car crash into an actual other wreckage. George Miller's direction is also simple going for an incredibly streamlined look that is better then most action movies today. This all helps the film because it's a really weird movie actually. The world is creative and eye-popping, but my gosh once you get Lord Humongous (yes that's his actual name) the villain in there it all should feel a little odd. But it doesn't feel that way. Instead the world is believable and entertaining to watch, and Gibson sells the charisma of the movie as Max. That's because it keeps it simple and fun, and what you're watching with the camerawork, and the humor (yes it's pretty funny), and the amazing car stunts make the entire movie. It is all a little bit shallow though. Overall though I'd give Mad Max 2 a 9.8 out of 10. It's got enough energy to run the movie through it's finish even if it's all a little shallow.
