It is unfortunate Tina Turner didn't act more because she was genuinely good in movies. I'm still bitter she said no to The Color Purple though I understand why, because she said she already lived through it.
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is generally seen as the weakest Mad Max movie of the series but I happen to love it, just not as much as Road Warrior and Furiosa.
I liked the arc of Max ending up in Aunty Entity's territory and being forced to fight against another bad guy and becoming kind of a Guardian to a group of lost children who live under the hope of a desired, fantasy land.
The train sequence is incredible. Tina Turner is spectacular as Auntie Entity: strong, fearsome, bold. I wish we got to see Auntie fight Max in the movie, we rarely see her do much, but when she gets into action, you realize how powerful she is, like when she jumps from her bike into the moving train.
Mel Gibson was great as usual as Max. He's a bit more tolerant than usual. The kids didn't bother me because they weren't trying to be cute and cloying, they're more like the kids from the Lord of the Flies (without the turning homicidal part). Helen Buday is particularly adequate as Savannah Nix, the older kid who rebels against Max.
