Matthew Vaughn, what have you done? This movie wanted to be a fun action flick, not to be taken seriously, but it was just a cringe-fest instead, painful as possible through and through. To be fair, it starts well, but after a certain twist it goes downhill very fast.
I wanted this movie to be successful because of Henry Cavill, but fortunately (for him) he was only just an imaginary character, a caricature of a super spy, for a very short time in the whole movie, and he is still good at it. The whole movie is so fake, the CGI is extremely bad, no chemistry between the two protagonist, the action scenes absolutely over the top but in a bad way. Samuel L. Jackson, what the hell he was doing in this movie?
This movie is a misfire, I barely could watch it through and I facepalmed many times. Some reviewers here say it is fun. Yes, pain can be fun, if you are a masochist.

I really do start to believe that AI writes the scripts of these kind of movies (I'm looking at The Creator). Nothing is original in it, but it would be OK if other elements were good. I'm even willing to buy that a 100 pounds woman destroys 6-7 200 pounds soldiers but at least create a believable choreography, make her extremely fast or agile or something. Making these scenes in slooooooow moooooootiooooooon amplifies this problem. Slow motion is inconsistent, it's there even if it wasn't necessary at all like when walking out of a ship or turning a table over for a makeshift cover.
Of course the lead is female, the rebel team has to be as diverse as possible, in where male members have to be saved or have to amend their way of life. Of course the bad guys are all white guys sinister looking hulks with bald head and beard or rude brutes with military haircut and square-chin... except the good one who is somewhat colored and scrawny. Even their uniform resembles those German uniforms of the 2nd WW. They have been doing these kind of things in every movie, in every series for years and it's extremely boring by now.
The movie is visually OK. You can see the possible Star Wars movie in it (Snyder originally inteded this movie as one). But it would have been bad as a Star Wars movie as well. Not that nowadays the Star Wars brand is a guarantee for quality, quite the contrary.
