It's fun. So much fun. So much so that it puts all previous DC films to shame. Ok. Shazam was decent enough, but I ain't a 13 year old anymore. Gunn delivers a carbon solid piece of fun action flick that's even surprisingly touching at times. It's fun. And not in a complete braindead way either, though there are some misplaced antics. But even then it's fun and therefore easily forgivable.

I went in expecting some mindless yet entertaining action comedy, but discovered soon enough that it was a formulaic, over manufactured, uninspired, full on braindead, cliché ridden piece of flick. I know it was supposed to be exactly that. The garbage was too well handled to be a mistake. However the overthetopness was a bit too much for me to be enjoyable. I know for certain I have at least one braincell left and it didn't appreciate the stupidity of the film. If you're already a few years out of high school, I doubt this film is for you.

Last time I was so bored out of my mind watching an action flick was when I saw Max Payne - a film I remember nothing about. Besides Wahlberg being in it. Boss Level seems to be similar case. Except Frank Grillo actually fits in the role and is great at what he does. Unfortunately most everything else falls flat. The action is cheap (at times with bad B-movie level CG) and uninspiring, The pacing is all over the place. The overly long and pointless conversations give little value and try too hard to come across smart. And fail. Everything is so simple and comes easily to the MC (plot armor wise). Constant V. O. exposition is inane and unnecessary. One would think they'd even do some basic research what can be considered as e-sports or classic 80's computer games. Brr. Go watch Nobody instead. It's better in every single aspect and ten times over.
