I really liked this series and I lean more to the left-politically speaking. I'm not sure why critics disliked it. Yeah I mean there is the fact that it moves in line with most movies of this genre: hyper masculine warrior comes home to find family slaughtered and goes on vengeful binge but honestly I like those kinds of movies. Chris Pratt did an exceptional job and the twist at the end was unexpected. Critics suck sometimes but this movie was entertaining to me.
