Actually, Episode 50 had Naruto in the middle of the Chunin Exam. It was pretty damn exciting. But Boruto began the anime much earlier than Naruto did. By the time they began the Naruto anime, they were well enough into the manga that they could go for a spell without relying on filler.

This isn't the case with Boruto. So it's understandable why people are complaining about Boruto not being as good. But on the same note, give it some damn time to build up a storyline.
