Critics loved it, as did the audience. As did I.
It took me a while to get into it. I missed the estranged madness from the original Mad Max. Yes, it was all crazy and Immortal and his War Boys or whatever he was called, was crazy and weird, and Max being "Bloodbag"... but that was all normal weird scifi madness. Only later did it develop into a more gripping film, with Max' craziness subtly creeping through the cracks of the surface.
