It is summer entertainment on a smaller scale and a fitting way to send us into the fall.

It isn’t a bad movie; it is well-made, with a decent pace and excellent production design. It is merely a perfunctory one.

It is competently made, decently paced and has a handful of effective action sequences. In short, it is the definition of okay. It will probably give audiences what they expect, if not what they’re hoping for.

I may forget it in a few days, yet I am not unhappy that I saw it.

This silly thrill-ride is much more fun than it has any right to be.

The jokes are mostly lame, the story absurdly predictable and the characters totally generic.

It is a basic story with little to say about its subject matter. It goes through its paces dutifully and without a lot of excitement.

It is enjoyable enough in its own right, with solid performances and satisfying brutality. It delivers basically what it needed to.

It turns out that Deadpool’s silliness added to MCU spectacle equals just okay.

Though we know a lot of Furiosa’s tale coming in, seeing it unfold is still completely captivating.
