Wtf, the jetpack was easily one of the best bits. Ridiculousness overdrive, that's what that whole climax was about I think. And it worked.

I wouldn't really say that. Most of the film seemed to be about introducing superheroes as this bizarre underworld beneath everyday society, entirely limited to what a freak with a penchant for violence could actually achieve. The concession to something as totally implausible as a jetpack really broke one of the driving themes of the movie.
"Ridiculousness overdrive" would work in plenty of superhero movies, but not one that goes to great lengths to make everything as mundane and human as possible.
