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.

With a screenplay that knows it should be silly, and two very charming leads, the result is as good this could possibly have been.

It is about seeing an actor we like playing a character we have enjoyed in a story that feels familiar. It is generally pretty fun to watch.
