It’s a perfect opportunity for Leitch—delivering over-the-top action that doesn’t have to make sense (sometimes it’s just a montage of filming stunts) and matches the film’s tone no matter how cartoony it gets. Gosling and Blunt deliver engaging chemistry, which is key, and it’s fun to see another side of Hannah Waddingham. The narration isn’t needed, and the snappy dialogue feels overly stylized at times, but it’s a fun ride and it honors the goofy premise of the show well.
