Movie Reviews of Mad Men: Season Three
Movie Review: Mad Men maintains its place as the best American show on TV
Summary: 5 Stars
With season 3 of Mad Men, Matthew Weiner pushes creative boundaries by incorporating elements of film noir, Sirkian melodrama, and even black comedy to the mix. Jon Hamm's acting chops are also pushed to higher levels as Don Draper's positions as powerful ad man and husband are increasingly threatened by the progressive changes of the decade. In sum, it's a profound and character-driven affair that yields new delights with every viewing. And Weiner's commentary tracks are, as usual, top-notch.
While I do admit to preferring season 2's individual storylines over the ones in season 3, it makes no difference in my rating because Mad Men continues to operate on a higher level than everything else that's being produced right now in America, be it TV show or movie.
Movie Review: great show ever !
Summary: 5 Stars
season 3 is an incredible climax (so far) of an outstandig tv-show !
weiner and his team created a completely new approach of tv-entertainment with its very individual pace (i would call it slow-entertainment in analogy to slow food), gorgeous style and excellent actor ensemble. however following the already wonderful first two seasons, here we can share some crucial turning points in Draper's life (and that of his social environment). As a consequence, the story line gets dynamic especially in the last episodes that i already can't wait to see the next season. however, inbetween, for sure i will take the dvds and enjoy mad men's metamorphoses once again. so congratualtions from germany to this finest piece of entertainment !
Movie Review: After three seasons, Mad Men remains one of the most original, compelling dramas on television.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's one of the most important and enthralling programs on TV. Mad Men is a program that never shies away from the true nature of its characters. Unlike the era it depicts, the series drives directly at the kind of dissembling that ran rampant across large swathes of society. Not always a matter of outright lying, the culture thrived upon the lies we implicitly agree to tell each other; but as we all know, lies beget lies. Beneath it all, however, is some kind of goodness, and a chance for redemption. That theme is at the heart of Mad Men, driving a portrait of unhealthy characters trying to deal with their ills. This package combines outstanding entertainment with excellent technical presentation and substantial bonus content.Movie Review: Get out your Aqua Net and Just Buy This.
Summary: 5 Stars
Mad Men is the best thing to come along on cable TV in forever. I'm always surprised I'm not watching HBO or Showtime. I do recommend going through Seasons 1 and 2 before starting 3 because each season builds upon the other. In this most current season, Don Draper becomes unmasked and his world spins out of control. JFK is killed...the innocent 60's are starting to hurdle to the "summer of love"... Go along the ride with Don, Betty and the whole Advertising Gang. Full of laughs, drama and just plain surreal stuff, Mad Men is like watching a painting come to life. I have to give a big shout out to little Sally because she's just the best eight year-old anti hero ever. BRAVO on a stellar Season. MORE! More!Movie Review: One of the best shows on television
Summary: 5 Stars
"Mad Men" has everything a show needs to be good television: interesting and compelling characters, beautiful cinematography, original situations, a deep (but not heavy-handed) exploration of human psychology. Stir that into a pot full of great outfits, retro sets and the social turmoil of 1960's America and you've got a show that just cannot be missed. There are so many sub-par programs flooding the airwaves today, that it almost makes me want to give up. But then a show like this comes along and sticks around, and renews my faith altogether. I really hope "Mad Men" makes it all the way to 1969 without getting canceled. It just might become the most iconic show of the early 2000s.
