Chicago Sun-Times
This is a movie that strains at the leash of the possible, a movie of great visionary wonders. - 100
Los Angeles Times
It closes the trilogy like a lightning blast followed by the ominous, resonant drone of thunder. Great action sequences crop up frequently today, but great action movies are always few and far between. Beyond Thunderdome is one, every bit as much as its two predecessors. - 88
Chicago Tribune
This middle portion of the picture becomes dangerously preachy, but just before we and Max are bored, director Miller returns Max to his roots, a screaming chase sequence through a desertlike Australian landscape. - 80
The New York Times
This film has showier stunts than its predecessors, and a better sense of humor. It also has Tina Turner, in chain-mail stockings. - 80
Variety
Gibson impressively fleshes out Max, Tina Turner is striking in her role as Aunty (as well as contributing two topnotch songs, which open and close the picture) and the juves are uniformly good. - 80
Newsweek
Leaner and meaner, "The Road Warrior" had more nonstop thrills. But Miller was right not to try to top that act: he's opted to expand the moral geography of his funk Wasteland. With crazy and beautiful Mel and Tina backed up by a raging gallery of mutant humanity, only a glutton could complain he didn't get his fill. [29 July 1985, p.58] - 75
ReelViews
The battle between Max and The Blaster in Beyond Thunderdome may be the best the series has to offer. - 70
Time
Its high-bounding excesses of action simultaneously satisfy and satirize the passion for heedless viciousness that so profoundly moves the action film's prime audience, urban adolescent males.
