Having seen all the Mad Max films except Furiosa, I'd actually consider all of them to be excellent.

The first is clearly a very low budget endeavour, but it has a scrappy underdog charm that I really quite like.

The second is the best thanks to its top notch action.

The third slows down a bit to invest more in worldbuilding, and while the action isn't quite on the same level as Mad Max 2, it's still very enjoyable.

Fury Road is a visual feast with, for my money, some of the coolest action scenes ever committed to film and masterful pacing.

It's one of those rare franchises to me that doesn't have a weak entry.

I disagree with this, Beyond Thunderdome was absolutely terrible in my opinion. It had some cool moments, especially the actual Thunderdome scene, but the pacing is off, the score is extremely jarring, and the whole "kids in the forest" arc was completely out of place. I don't pay much attention to ratings but that's the only movie in the series to get a PG-13 and it really shows.

I'm also not a fan of the first one, but I mean, it's the first one. For the budget it was on, it gets a pass.

Thunderdome is the odd one out for sure, and it's probably my least favourite of the four but I still enjoyed it. Definitely a bit silly at times, but I honestly found that endearing.
