1 - Fury Road
2 - Road Warrior
3 - MadMax
4 - Beyond Thunderdome
Fury Road is my favorite, its the best directed, has the best soundtrack and the cinematography is just amazing. The mix of special and practical effects its just mindblowing and its arguably also the best acted, because I dont think anyone has been as good and compelling as Charlize Theron in the entire franchise, not that the acting matters much tbh.
Road Warrior was THE Mad Max film for me befoe Fury Road. Whenever someone thinks/brings up Mad Max theyre usually thinking about the Road Warrior, the setting, ambience, wacky over the top characters and car chases basically makes the franchise what it is and im all here for it. I simply think Fury Road took each of those elements and made them the best version they can be. Its tacky at time but that just add to its charm I guess. Sadly I cant say that about the following movies.
Mad Max is fine, a bit underrated, it is a decent revenge flick but doesnt feel post apocalyptic at all, the editing has aged badly tbh, gives the vibe of a B-movie, which I guess its exactly what it is.
I dont have much respect for Thunderdome, I think its has an good setting, the thunderdome scenes are cool (but have weird sound effects) yet the whole film has a dumb tone to it, like it doesnt take itself serious enough. To me that brings the whole film down a lot because there no tension or excitement, its just big B-movie joy, and I get a lot of people like that, memorable quotes there, but I personally dont care much for it. And Tina Turner is just awful. Just awful. Her music is alright.
