I love this review a lot

I just finished watching this supposedly terrible sequel to the first two Mad Max movies and I have to say, I don't get it. I just don't get it. Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is an imaginative, original, and creatively fun summer popcorn movie. Of course it is not a perfect film, and it has its many flaws to be sure, but overall, the good far outweighs the bad in this enjoyable fantasy adventure with an edge.
I don't get all the hate this movie has. Its definitely one of the better popcorn movies I've seen in my life. It has its fair share of originality (Master Blaster is one of the coolest characters I've seen in a fantasy adventure film), its very well shot and directed, and the action scenes are thrilling.
I think the reason why Mad Max fans despise this movie is because it is a little more kid friendly than the first two films. It has more of a whimsical charm to it than its rough darker predecessors. But you know what? So what. It delivers in almost every other way, and the car chase in the end is almost as good as the ending car chase in The Road Warrior.
All I can say is that this film isn't even close to as bad as most people make it out to be, in fact, its quite good. Thank God Roger Ebert, one of the greatest and most prominent film critics of all time not only loved this movie and gave it four stars, but put it on his top 10 list of the best films of 1985.
I'm glad Ebert was on my side.
"Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" is one of the most visionary movies of all times and a massively underrated masterpiece.
