Film Review - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

Mad Max beyond Thunderdome is the third in the Mad Max series starring Mel Gibson as Max, the loner who wanders the wastelands of tomorrow and into a society known as Bartertown, but after refusing to kill a local, Max is banished and comes across a group of kids who want his help to find the Promised Land.


It pains me to say this, but beyond Thunderdome was a massive failure compared to the first two films, first off the plot is very slow to get going and when it does, it feels ripped from the previous films, another was the absence of Byron Kennedy, director George Miller’s right hand man on the previous films, one cant help but feel that his death has left a hole in the film and also one that may never be filled.


So as my final say, a 1 and a half out of 5 for this film, Mad Max fans are wise to leave the series after Mad Max 2.
