"description": "This is closer to what I expected out of the first Mad Max movie . It's decidedly post-apocalyptic in the way I expected the first entry in the franchise to be. It sees Max scavenging for supplies in an apocalyptic wasteland, reluctantly striking a deal with settlers over fuel and acting as a reluctant mercenary. It's an engaging watch throughout and the set, costuming and visuals fit the story perfectly. This is what I wanted initially, but the first movie — in context — lays necessary groundwork for the story told in this sequel. I enjoyed this one far more, but both films are better for the story they tell as a pair.",
