Of all the three 'Mad Max' movies with Mel Gibson as the lead, 'The Road Warrior' is the most famous and successful. After watching the film, I felt that fame and the title of 'one of the greatest action movies ever made' is well deserved. Miller has totally created a world of his own for the movie- the vast landscapes, deserts, and crazy-punk riders are all so grand and glorious- resembling its new counterpart 'Mad Max 4 :Fury Road'. Mad Max 4 had a huge support of modern CGI too, the second part creates an equal charm without it.
Execution-wise, Road Warrior is nothing short of legendary. The war for gasoline in the post apocalyptic world sees its peaks through the movie, unravelling to us a world of survival, ruthlessness, and horror.It's a hell of a ride. The boomerang kid and the crazy helicopter guy were very noteworthy characters. Road Warrior is a lot different from the original 'Mad Max'. It is a different world altogether. I can foresee a future something similar to what the movie shows, as mankind is fast destroying all available resources. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
