First of all, it's a crazy comedy film, keep that in mind, it never pretended to be anything else. Got it? Good. For what it is, it's glorious! For its class, it's one of the best. Usually crazy comedies are poorly written, don't bother with plot and are generally offensive to every one of the senses. This is one is a crafty, lovingly made film with the right amounts of quips and jokes, even the gratuitous slutty girls. Every casting choice was perfect, even the insufferable Me'shell. Rewatched this probably 10 times by now with 10 more coming in the near future.

I feel bad for the black community, but only internally as they seem to gobble up this slop. There were great black superheroes before this action figure factory, but the marketing team seemed to have played the pioneer card on this one, again. The story is obviously written for idiots, with so many plot contrivances and so few things that make sense. But I suppose that once you make a "black" film in such trying times, it doesn't really matter what it's about as long as it's "black". The accolades will come, and they did. I can only hope this trend will go away soon. I miss just watching a good, fun movie with no racial or gender politics.

So many mentioned that Larson's performance is expressionless... I would've taken expressionless, it could've even contributed to a character under some "alien" influence, over that stupid, smug face. Whenever she encounters an "obstacle", which is always a breeze and hardly inconveniences her, she wears this condescending smirk. You can almost tell she's imagining how the target is a 40 year old white dude.
