July 17, 2009Loner and reluctant hero Mad Max wanders out of the desert and into a crossroads of post-apocalyptic vice known as Bartertown, and later discovers a colony of innocent children in a peaceful oasis who believe him to be a messiah. The least and the goofiest of the excellent MAD M...( read more)

March 5, 2009Originally, the film was supposed to be about a group of children living without parents in the wild. Producers were scratching their heads trying to decide what adult character would find them, when someone thought of Max. After that suggestion, it became a "Mad Max" film. Two ...( read more)

February 21, 2009The final chapter of Max Rockatansky's adventures through the apocalypse starts off very well, in a pure mad max way, rough, brutal and frenetic.
Too bad it drags right after the great thunderdome fight to the death, in the middle, which is most part of the movie, thanks to thos...( read more) -

November 11, 2009It was alright, better than the first, worse than the second. Thunderdome was a cute place, i liked the idea; two men enters, one man leaves.

October 31, 2009I think the series jumped the shark a bit with this one. Underground pig farms, Tina Turner, Thunderdome itself, and a tribe of children living in a forest out of nowhere in the middle of the desert who think Max is the second coming? The kids were the last straw for me. After th...( read more)

October 19, 2009Max dropped the ball a little in his second reiteration, but no. 2 tried to keep the aesthetic. The world has ended, this is what's happened. It's also fairly well executed, if not absolutely ridiculous, and some of the cheesier scenes are overlookable.
Tina Turner is pretty wea...( read more) -

September 14, 2007Well what can i say but Hollywood got to this one. Too big a budget to be convincing. But none the less for the die hard Mad Max fans(like myself)its a good movie. It still has the crazy cars(watch out for the cow skin covered one) and the real nasty characters but it lacks the punch the previous two movies have. Still if you're going to watch the other two you wil watch this one too. Enjoy it how ever you see fit.
