First time I ever watched beyond thunderdome today


Decided to get the steel mad max trilogy case and am glad I did. I decided to watch beyond thunderdome first because that's the one I had never seen. I can see why people love the first 45 minutes and then absolutely hate the movie after that point. For me though I liked all of it. I just wish they had added that scene from the script that shows Max going from a loner to a person that gets his empathy back.

I also think it had a better antagonist then the road warrior. She just wasn't a straight up villain. This is a character that tried to build a society again with as much order as you can get in this type of world. Overall I would give this movie a 7.5 it was a decent movie but compared to the other two just not as good.

Believe in yourself and create your own destiny.

I think the 6 rating is fitting. Starts off great, and slowly descends into some sort of silly children's fantasy tale. It was just very uneven compared to the first two classics. It's not a terrible film, but more of a disappointment.
