I finally got around to watching The Road Warrior. Overall I liked it. Although it was definitely not far superior to the original, but it was definitely the better movie.
Probably the best thing about the movie was the amazing costumes and vehicles. Everything looked fantastic, it was as if the crew were let into a junk yard and were told to make everything from the scraps they can find. There are far too many movies where everything looks too clean and perfect.
The story was nothing special, but it fit nicely with everything seeming to be plausible in a potential future. One thing that really stood out was that one of the bandits did a flip over someones head... it seemed kind of out of place for someone who was clearly not a gymnast of any sort. But then again, those bandits probably have a lot of free time, so I guess it's not impossible that he could spend a lot of time practicing.
Overall it was a great movie. I really don't think it we'll see another movie like this anytime soon. There is a third movie though, so I guess I'll watch that soon.
