definitely not as bad as the critics say.
"I'd echo other viewers' sentiments - this film isn't epic or particularly memorable, but it's an enjoyable watch. As someone who hasn't read the book, I can't comment on its faithfulness to the original story. However, the dialogue has its humorous moments, and Chris Pratt shines with a self-deprecating, quirky performance that's a cut above his usual fare.
As an action-adventure movie, I think critics unfairly hold it to a cinematic standard. This film knows its strengths and delivers a fun, thrilling ride with impressive CGI. The visuals are stunning, and the movie's tone strikes a balance between humor and action without veering into campiness.
Overall, it's a solid action-adventure flick that's worth watching for its entertainment value alone. Don't expect a masterpiece, but do expect a fun, visually impressive ride."
