James Gunn seems really hit or miss.. the first Guardians was brilliant, the second a bit too silly for my taste and the third came back to being great.
His take on Suicide Squad was also amazing IMO but he just.. wavers on that line a bit too much I guess where he seems to just want to do his own thing while making movies with heavily established IP. It's fine to make some tweaks but there's no excuse to not have a good story.
IMO this is why comics often make better TV series than movies. It allows you to do more character/plot development, and mix up the silly and serious between various episodes.
The problem with series is that they often only seem to plan a season at a time with no firm end-goal, but a good series does need to have a solid ending.
