Quite entertaining with good jokes. Interesting action scenes, with great choreography and cool visual effects (you can notice the green screen in some moments, but nothing that distracts us). Ryan Gosling is great, very charismatic as always, and with a humor vibe that I really enjoy.
It's a great film to spend some time casually, despite being a bit bland in the development of the main plot. There's even a plot twist to try to breathe life into the narrative, but I felt it lacked complexity, you know? There's a lot of shallow development here that could have been much better executed.
For example, the complexity of Emily Blunt's character boils down to a director who spent years waiting for a boy and now wants to make a film translating this love story. Man, I could only think about her wasted potential, as I love Emily's performances, and despite giving me good laughs, the character was practically used as comic relief in the story, as if it were needed, considering the film is full of jokes all the time.
The antagonists of the story are also a bit too silly. I understand that, to try to match the film's atmosphere, they chose to go easy on some aspects, but for my taste, they went too far with this lightness, almost leaning towards slapstick comedy.
But as I said, it's a light and fun movie. I had good laughs and enjoyed the fights and explosions. It's a tribute to the stunt profession, and throughout the film, they are portrayed almost as special agents to solve dangerous situations on a grand scale. Go in with low expectations and you'll have much more fun, that's the tip.
