I don't think they thought it was unironically good overall, just that they appreciated details like the old school practical effects including the use of squibs and blood-splatter packets (in contrast to using CGI effects, which are cheaper and commonplace, or contrasted with nothing at all for that coveted PG-13 rating). It implies more effort went into at least some aspects of the film than strictly necessary, which improves the objective quality of the film even if the plot and characterization are absolute schlock.
I finished the episode and like everyone but Matt basically made it clear that the effects were good, the movie and politics were bad but entertaining. (Which is probably fair).
Matt is really off the deep with his squib deal so who knows what he actually thought, he just gives anything with squibs 10/10.
