Four stars mainly because Max is not solely involved in this one, however any film series which is a prequel and goes into the history of a main character is truly a must see film and has merit that exceeds some critics' reviews. Furiosa is a main character in the Mad Max saga, so it was interesting and wonderful how they gave us a better understanding of her character and where she came from regarding the pitfalls and obstacles she encountered along the way leading up to "Fury Road".
Now if they could just have done the same with Max's character starting as a young child and showing us how he became interested in joining the MFP and meeting the rest of the gang (Fife, Goose, Charlie, Roop, Scuttle, etc ).
