Review of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

While Mad Max 3 doesn't quite have the cult status of its two predecessors, I would argue that it's by far the most fun of the three. This movie is pure 80's Action/Adventure amusement park escapism. The proceedings are beefed up thanks to a hefty American budget, Tina Turner on board chewing the hell out of every scene she's in, and Mel doing what he does best. The tribe of lost children is also a nice addition to the series, kind of like the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi. All in all, it invokes fond memories of being a kid for me and still holds up pretty well to today's standards.
