POSITIVES…
As a superhero movie done with irreverent humor, that bit of satire, and has a simple enough playful premise, it's actually okay for what it’s going for.
The movie also doesn't take itself seriously at all, but it has heart when it matters, so I'll give it that recognition as well.
Kudos to Melissa McCarthy for going all out with her outrageous role, and Octavia Spencer for essentially playing the "straight man" in the duo. It's easy to root for those two.
Supporting cast were solid with their characters as well. Taylor Mosby, Jason Bateman, Bobby Cannavale, Ben Falcone, Pom Klementieff, and more.
Gotta admit, I found the training days scenes pretty amusing.
There are some running jokes that I did enjoy.
I liked the soundtrack. Good choices of songs in this.
If you like dumb lowbrow humor, then this movie might just be for you.
NEGATIVES…
It's still dumb lowbrow humor, so this definitely won't be for everyone.
Remember, comedy is subjective, but I'd like to say that there's a lot of jokes here that just do not land at all.
There are several pop culture references, and it's cringe worthy a lot of the time.
Why is the stupid "don't touch anything" joke and or plot trope still a thing?!
Oh. Needless to say. The plot is pretty dumb, nonsensical, obvious, cliché, uninspired, mediocre, and pushes your buttons at how much stupid you can put up with.
Action sequences aren't anything to write about either.
There's all this reference to Van Halen, but I'm thinking it really should have been AC/DC instead. Thunder Force. Thunderstruck? c’mon!
