Motorcycle gangs rule the roads, killing and maiming as they please with a stupid amount of reckless abandonment. THE STORY: A few years from now, the highways have become a place of utter hell. Even though Gibson is gone, the whole Tom Hardy hiring, though he'll never truly be Max, seems like a quality choice. The question becomes will he make it his own? And can Miller recapture the 'vision' he had over 30 years ago when he decided to leave the medical profession for a profession of fantasy stories? Regardless, it'll still have to live up to expectations, notably the flick that started them all. With Miller in charge of the Interceptor, faith remains high. However, at least we can rest easy knowing Warner Bros didn’t hand the keys to the franchise’ to some douchey 28-year-old commercial director. That shit looks pretty damn awesome… even though its missing the key ingredient to the franchise: Mel Gibson. I think I can collectively speak for all post-apocalyptic fans with a giant 'F*CK YES' for George Miller’s newest Mad Max adventure coming soon to a theater near you.

Starring: Mel Gibson, Steve Bisley, and Hugh Keays-Byrne I’m not gonna question whether it’s still a good flick, but if the thing holds up for a modern audience. However, as time keeps ticking, do those classics still hold up? So…the point of this here column is whether or not a film stands the test of time.

Movies we respect without question because of either tradition, childhood love, or because they’ve always been classics.
