Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

Summer is in full swing, so now I will be reviewing a summer movie.  1985's "Mad Mel: Beyond Thunderdome" is the movie I'm talking about, starring Max Gibson.  This is the third installment of a terrific franchise that just put out a fourth one: "Mad Max: Even Further Away from Thunderdome". Here, Max has to fight in Thunderdome after walking around in the dirt for a while.  But then he gets banished after winning, but not really "winning".  Then he is brought in by a young boy, or girl, I'm not really sure.  But I am sure I was attracted to it.   Then he becomes the leader of a bunch of kids and the family-fun begins.

So, Should I See It? Or, go so far past thunderdome... I don't see it.

I say "see it", it was a nice way to conclude the series for 30 years.  It also stars Tina Turner, now I'm a fan of hers, just not her music, so I really liked the parts she was in.  This movie has top-notch action you'd expect from acclaimed director, George "The Cat" Miller.  Though he didn't direct the entire movie, just the action scenes.  If you haven't seen this summer blockbuster yet, then, as Tina Turner's hit says, "Get Up On It!".  Mad Max... you make me Happy Movie-goer.
