I'm kind of trending to the opposite.
Very few narratives come along that are pleasant and surprising. All the stories have been told in some form or another.
The fun comes from banter and character, and dumb goofy bits remain entertaining if they are competently constructed and executed.
As for Peacemaker specifically, almost everything I enjoyed about it was little character bits and line reads, like the scene when Adebayo's GF's coin slot made an appearance in her little powerpoint presentation. The little muttered retorts and grouses.
Also, don't see it noted in this thread, but James Gunn ended up marrying our Agent Harcourt. Whatever you think of the guy, can't question his taste in romantic partners.
