Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Gibson returns as the world weary hero who battles savages in a post nuclear war landscape. Includes trailer. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 11/11/2008 Starring: Mel Gibson Tina Turner Run time: 107 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: George Miller George Ogilvie

Amazon.com:
Although Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the third part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic Mad Max trilogy, is certainly the least of the bunch (Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is the undisputed masterpiece, and maybe the best action movie ever made), it has still got a good share of imaginative industrial-wasteland-pastiche imagery. And casting Tina Turner as Aunty Entity, the queen of Bartertown, was a masterstroke. Mel Gibson's character Max is pitted in a battle to the death against the bizarre Master Blaster in the Thunderdome, flying around on rubbery straps inside a sort of gigantic overturned colander with bloodthirsty spectators clinging to the outside. Miller's producing partner, Byron Kennedy, was killed in a helicopter crash while scouting locations for this film. Miller was devastated, only agreeing to direct the action sequences--and, somehow, you feel his heart wasn't entirely in it. --Jim Emerson




Rating: - silly movie but great for a school project
I used this movie as a project for my comparative government class (no kidding!) -- for eg., Bartertown can be examined and compared with other (real) governments for its political institutions, leadership, economy, etc. The kids love it. Otherwise, I thought the characters were shallow and simplistic, and the plot very predictable. But the movie does not pretend to be anything more, so you get what you probably expected.

Rating: - The Finale of a Great Triligy Falls Short
This time Max gets caught up in a power struggle between the two ruling parties of Bartertown, claimed by Tina Turner to be civilization rebuilt. On one hand we have MasterBlaster, a midget and creator of the methane gas power derived from pig feces and on the other we have Tina Turner, the figurehead of law and order. Master, considered to be vastly intelligent, speaks childlike English and rides on a big steel-helmeted man. Their relationship is, complicated, to say the least.

Rating: - ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE
As someone who enjoyed the other MadMax movies this is one is just terrible. The others were raw, edgy. This is a bloated, pathetic movie. A bunch of screaming/annoying kids acting like warriors, Tina Turner should have stuck to music, and Gibson's character is watered down. You can't even begin to compare this movie to MadMax or the Road Warrior. It's just horrible.

Rating: - No future in feudalism and slavery
The motor vehicles are going to be there, even a plane. The desert is going to be there too. But the whole world has regressed for a reason we don't know - but do we care? - losing all its technology and its energy. But Mel Gibson takes the orientation that humanity will not regress in inventiveness nor even in intelligence, which means it will reinvent some kind of civilization by developing new sources of energy, this time the energy that can be produced by pig slime, the gas that comes out of ...

Rating: - The End of Max?
The original concept for MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME didn't even include Mad Max. The original idea was about a group of orphaned children living out in the wild alone and a man who finds them. Then someone came up with the idea of Max being their "savior" and the film soon became a "Mad Max" project.

In MAD MAX BEYOND THUNDERDOME, Max is left alone to "die" in the desert. He makes his way through and comes to Bartertown, a city of last resort that has been able to maintain some of ... Read More
