Read the full reviewMad Max films might be shiny and chrome now, but they’re still exploitation films at heart (character names includes Rictus Erectus, Scabrous Scrotus and Piss Boy).
Read the full reviewHardcore fans of Mad Max will find a great deal to like here, but if you are the sort of filmgoer who expects much more from George Miller, you will be left feeling shortchanged.
Read the full reviewFor all those who are gratified by grandeur, Furiosa: Mad Max Saga is worth the price of your tickets. For those who derive pleasure out of dense plot and narrative, try for another saga.
Read the full reviewA Mad Max Saga works as long as it sees a clear road ahead from the top of the desert, but loses focus when it decides to listen to the thunderous beats of the vehicle it built in the first place.

How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
