Alexander S I had a lot of love for the third film. While opinions on the third film are mixed due to its plot, I found Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome to be an exceptional installment. It consistently delivers engaging action sequences with some that are fresh, particularly for fans of motorcycle chasing scenes and the continuous thrill ride that the Road Warrior series promised. Grading: B Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Conrad C The first half of the movie looks and feels like Mad Max at its best, but then the second half rolls around and you wonder who thought that turning it into a children's movie was the right move. It's not just introduction of kid characters, but a complete switch in tone for the franchise, which presumably alienates most adult viewers. Suspension of belief, normally used to justify preposterous vehicle designs, is stretched too thin as the movie determinedly churns out happy endings where there obviously should have been none. Still, the first half of the movie might just make it worth the watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Kevin P Easily the weakest of the franchise despite its iconic titular thunderdome concept. The thunderdome fight and barter town are pretty fun with all of its grungy post-apocalyptic glory, but I was surprised and kind of baffled when the movie took a sharp left turn into Ewok territory when Mad Max visits a weird tribe of plane-obsessed children that make you feel like you’re watching an off-brand Hook. It’s not bad, but it’s so jarring and out-of-left-field for the franchise and eats up a decent amount of screentime. That being said, it still has a cute payoff with their plane ride getaway following a legitimately fun car chase finale. The final shots of them living in the abandoned ruins of Sydney while discussing the mythical legend of Mad Max felt like a nice way to cap off the original Mad Max trilogy despite its bizarre middle chunk departure. It’s not a great installment, but it certainly isn’t bad and I’d argue it earns its countless parodies and homages across pop culture.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review thiago s Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é bacana, o vilão é bacana com o visual horrivel, mas o que torna o filme melhor são as cenas de ação que são bacanas, o filme se passava parecia dentro de uma cupula de um pouco estranho. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Probably the least popular of the franchise, but I still like it a lot. Gibson and Miller are again great in their duties, elevating this to a worthy entry in the Mad Max series. Turner is good too. And who can forget MasterBlaster. Good movie overall.
