Yeah, the second half especially feels like a tribute to Spielberg or Goonies or something.

“A fun romp” seems right. You have it as a 7/10 on Kinemalogue, and on a 10 point scale I’d probably be at 6/10, so we’re not far off, even if my tone is a bit cynical.

Oh, wait. The dairy farm. Right.

Myself, I continually forget that Fury Road and Furiosa were rated R. I’m actually not sure why they are. (In fairness, it’s not just those two, I’m not-infrequently surprised and perplexed to discover a movie’s rated R. “What, did they say ‘fuck’ three times?” I suppose I’d be pretty permissive if I were on the ratings board.)

Anyway, guess you and Dan don’t need another hero? Or at least not as much as me. I’ve always liked Thunderdome, it’s a fun romp.

And that’s fine, as these things go (I actually like this movie well enough: 5 out of 8 feels right). But it does lack the edge of the previous two.
