When trying to come up with possible reasons why Bloodshot exists, it’s difficult not to descend into cynicism. This is a movie that seems designed to cash in on a dubious combination of copy-catting Marvel and DC’s successes on the big screen, and Vin Diesel‘s modest star power, which can potentially draw the same crowds who flock to each new Fast and the Furious movie (including us). And Bloodshot isn’t a completely worthless imitation–it smartly leaves a lot of the original Valiant comics’ cheesy trappings (white skin, red chest, red eyes) in the past where they belong, and it’s built on a really fun (albeit moronic) sci-fi conceit that brings with it plenty of cool visual effects and inventive action set pieces.
But those are all things we’ve seen before at the cinema, and Bloodshot does little to set itself apart from the last 25 years of superhero movies. It’s a supremely stupid movie, in the very literal sense that it rarely, if ever, makes any sense–the kind of movie that begs you over and over to simply "turn off your brain" and enjoy the machismo spectacle. But idling your brain low enough to "enjoy Bloodshot for what it is" might do permanent damage.
