I wish I could give a fractional score, because it does deserve more.
The CGI is a bit campy, it's intentionally campy, it overuses slow-motion effects to artistically give the same feeling of it being a comic. It is undoubtedly intentional but is a bit disjointed in action scenes as a result.
It's also a bit long and it definitely could have used a reduced edit. And once again DC underwhelms in the villain. But it's good, it's not great, it's just good.
You can definitely tell that Warner Brothers made it, they keep trying to capture a sense of Guardians of the Galaxy by over-licensing music once again -- but the production tones that down despite some ham-fisted use. The licensed songs only fit for comedic additions.
And it's not Spider-Man but I will say the comedic timing and quips were pretty good, most of them got a laugh, the running gags weren't too much over the top and generally pleasant. I haven't rewatched a DC movie in some time, and I will rewatch this.
It's not as good as Shazam, but it's kind of on par with Aquaman - over the top CGI and campy but coherent and enjoyable.
