Do you guys think Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome was an unnecessary movie? (midwest.social)

Title. I’ve heard some say it is because the storyline is incoherent compared to the prior two movies.

I'm amazed that this C/ exists.

But, no. It was perfect at the time. It built on that world in a very interesting way, despite the flaws. Incoherent would be grossly inaccurate. Could it use better editing? Absolutely. But the story is there, you can follow it without difficulty.

I loved it as much or more than the first movie tbh, flaws and all.

Plus, c'mon, Tina Turner? How can you hate that?

Currently fixating on MM and felt I needed to make a sub. Especially considering lots of people have already watched Furiosa and likely have opinions on it (psst, I made a post about that).

Nothing wrong with that :)

Have you ever considered going through the rest of George Miller's filmography?

I did it recently (following along with a podcast that was doing the same). It's a weird and fascinating journey haha.
