I can't really say Carry-On is a "good" movie. It jumps the shark with its over the top plot so many times that I lost track. But it was fun. It may be pure B-movie, and not even in a so-ironic-its-brilliant way, just a straight up we're-making-a-silly-action-movie-so-get-onboard-for-the-ride sort of way.
It has a bit of a slow start but the chemistry between Egerton and Bateman keeps the audience invested. Then there are some rather incredible action set pieces (a fight over a gun in a speeding car scene is completely over the top but so much fun) that keep you glued. And *spoiler* the everyman hero saves the day just like you think he would, and in a very satisfying way I might add.
So yeah, is Carry-On any good? Not really. But was it a fun watch. Certainly.
