I'm aware it's ultimately just personal taste,
but I found Eddington funny and not a slog, but found OBAA a bit of a slog and not funny, so even in your post the criticism feels the wrong way round!
I mean, almost everyone seems to disagree with my opinion (except John Waters, as it was his film of the year) but it's weird when you really enjoyed something everyone seems to hate.

fair enough
there's films I liked that nobody else seemed to and ones they rave about that left me cold. I can only say that somewhat objectively the actions sequences in the second half of OBAA were well put together from a purely filmmaking perspective, though if you weren't connecting to the characters or plot that's not going to help.
