how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 38 comments (33 from Metacritic, 5 from TMDB reviews) β 14 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 14 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

βopening section in Bartertown is actually pretty decent. The setting is memorable, Tina Turner brings some personality to the film, and it feels like the world is getting bigger. For a while, I thought this was going to be a significant step forward from the previous movies. The atmosphere is there, and the post-apocalyptic setting feels more developed than everβ

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays β admired more than it is enjoyed.
βThis is a movie that strains at the leash of the possible, a movie of great visionary wonders.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 100
βIt 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.β
Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times Β· 100
βBeyond Thunderdome is a masterfully directed fantasy, convincing down to the smallest detail in its vision of an alternate existence, and it has gone beyond the relentless sadomasochism of The Road Warrior; Max has now taken up with children, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is suitable for them. [9 July 1985]β
Jay Scott, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Β· 100
βThis 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.β
Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune Β· 88
βThis film has showier stunts than its predecessors, and a better sense of humor. It also has Tina Turner, in chain-mail stockings.β

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

β**The best of the Mad Max films** High production values and a compelling story line make this the best of the series. This one doesn't rely on basic car smashes for the duration and instead gives us a moving and more thoughtful adventure. No campy men dressed for the _Blue Oyster_ bar in this one, thank goodness. _The Road Warrior_ (1981) is widely regarded as the best but I have to disagree. That film had a very one note narrative that verged on the bland and an overload of homoerotic imβ

βMax Rockatansky and the Goonie feral gang. Even allowing for my unabashed love of the first two films in the franchise, and sweeping away any sort of biased leanings I might of had for the character of Max, I just can't bring myself to rate at average this cartoonery waste of space that so nearly soils what had gone before it. Gone is the rugged nasty streak that brought feeling to the character Mad Max Rockatansky, gone is the impacting feeling of desolation in an apocalyptic world, and mβ
