I'll say this, if you liked the original Road Warrior, you will like this movie. It's almost an homage to all the things that made RW great.
The plot and dialog
are weak. But that's no different from any of the Mad Max films.
I'm not a "summer action movie" fan. Action and explosions etc are typically not enough for me to consider a movie good. But in this movie it was enough. I'll also add that I'm a bit of a chauvinist in that I almost never like strong female roles in movies, but Theron's character works to a degree that my only comparison would be Sigourney Weaver as Ripley. She doesn't come off as phony, she exudes genuine toughness.
I'm surprised that the film is getting the high ratings that it is from the general public, but this movie is a definite winner for Road Warrior fans.
