Mad Max 3 - Beyond Thunderdome Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

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!

Great Movie

For me Mad Max 1 could never be re- done, however the two films that followed were still well worth watching, if you like unlawful, petrol heads, with whom death means nothing,then you will like all 3 films in the Mad Max series.

Mad Max is back, in this third film in the popular series about a violent and desolate post-apocalyptic world. This time, Max ventures into the city of Bartertown in order to retrieve some of his stolen goods. But Aunt Entity, the head of this mercenary hell, tells Max he can have his things back on one condition: he must fight to the death with a huge creature known as The Blaster. Max agrees, but that is only the beginning of his wild adventures on the road. This film is more visionary and entertaining than the first two - it is both the most spectacular and most cerebral of the trilogy. It is an admirable conclusion to the Mad Max trilogy - softer than it predecessor though, but posessing its own unique voice. I particularly enjoyed the exploration of the tribal nature of children growing up without adult supervision, and the way their limited language (slang to us) remains so descriptive of their experiences. Definitely worth seeing along with the first two! Tina Turner was great as Aunty.

EXCELLENT

IT IS A STUNNING PIECE OF WORK

Nice outfits!

Nice outfits and cool music. Tina Turner is great.

I liked the concept of the film and thought that it has aged well. Mel Gibson is the only downer.

what a brilliant film jam packed full of action cannot beat this sort of film i put it on as soon as it came through the door

not as good as the first two

but still quite enjoyable and tina turner in it is very good. Some scence I found a whe bit boring though

MAX 'Max'

The best of the 'Max'series and one of the best and most interesting post-apocalyptic scenarios I've yet found.

Average

This was an OK film to end the trilogy, but I feel that with a bot more thought and effort to it this could have been the best of them all.
