    The third in Mel Gibson's sci-fi series is the weakest, but it remains a hugely entertaining futuristic spectacular. This time around Gibson finds himself a reluctant surrogate father to a lost tribe of youngsters, as well as getting mixed up with gladiatorial battles in the thunderdome of the wild city of Bartertown, ruled over by the extraordinary Tina Turner. Directors George Miller and George Ogilvie stage some exhilarating set pieces and keep the action bustling along nicely, even if there are also some daft dollops of new ageism that tend to hold up the proceedings. Gibson is effortlessly charismatic in the lead role, but you can't escape the feeling that, at this late stage in the saga, he just isn't mad enough any more.

    Remember: no matter where you go, there you are.

    Had 'Thunderdome' been the only Mad Max movie, I would have liked it more. But in the previous films we’ve seen a groovy flying machine, a gonzo pilot, and a superb chase. The whole Bartertown sequence was deficient of the essential ingredients to pull it off... the genuine belief from everyone concerned that this in truth was 'reality'.

    'Road Warrior' managed to do precisely that. Bartertown felt like a anthology of fantastic ideas emphatically thrown together without ever being integrated into believability.

    By and large, 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome' is worth watching.

    Ive always liked the 'mythology' of the MadMax series of films.Basically,its 'The Man With No Name',set in the future.This is the third and weakest in the series.Everything seems to be watered down,from the plot to the violence and even the car chases.Tina Turner is ok as Aunty Entity and Mel Gibson is solid as Max.It's still enjoyable and worth a watch but its a bit like my school report-could of done better!
