This film stands at a rather odd place in the series. It's nigh-universally considered the weakest of the Mad Max films, but at the same time the fans will readily acknowledge it's the only one with any truly memorable lines that have become beloved parts of the franchise, like "Who runs Bartertown?", "Two men enter, one man leaves," and "Ain't we a pair, Raggedy Man." And its reputation has improved a bit since the release of Fury Road, now that it's no longer saddled with being the end of the series. It's also really just the final third that has much objectionable material in it, as the kids are totally out of place and turn the film into something out of Home Alone or Hook. And of course, knowing George Miller would go on to make Babe, it's now incredibly amusing to see him do scenes of pigs being slaughtered here. But now the OG era of the franchise is behind you, and next month we get to the true reason all the fans wanted you to do this series. Fury Road is, no hyperbole, truly one of the greatest action films ever made and I have no idea how you could possibly top it, though Miller is apparently still going to try as he's been working on more entries in the series since. And its six Oscars kind of speak for themselves too.

It seemed like everyone that I had talked to about these films said that this film was one of the weaker films of the franchise, if not the weakest. I liked this one much more than I did the previous two, and I'm glad to see you quite liked it as well. I'm holding off on saying I liked it the best out of the franchise as we still have one more film to see. I was very much looking forward to Tina Turner in this movie, and she's thus far my favorite villain of the franchise. I also really liked, I believe his name was Ironbar, the one who wouldn't die, and I'm not even sure he DID die as he was still moving the last time we see him. I had a similar reaction to you about his continued survival and near the end of the film yelled out,"What in the HELL is it with this guy??!! This is like Harry and Marv level determination; throw in the damn towel man!" Bruce Spence was in the second film but he plays a different character here as evidenced by the absence of both his Little Nellie type vehicle and the snakes, the latter of which, I KNOW you're happy about. Your point about the kids is valid and I hold a similar opinion about them. This reaction was a lot of fun and I look forward to next month's reaction. Hopefully your media player decides to be more cooperative for that.
