Reviewer scores are worthless to me since they're often shills. Audience reviews, with a large enough sample size, is much more trustworthy.
If you inquire more than the tomatometer than the reviews give mostly mediocre scores of 6/10 or C.
Which is basically a good measure of most movies on average. Some will enjoy it a lot while others may not like it as much. Really crappy movies usually get slaughtered by audience scores while pro reviewers tend to give higher scores or even VERY high scores to a lot of that crap.
In essence, there's no true score since we all have different taste, different tolerances for flaws and plot holes, different interests etc.
I agree. I would like to write something smart but I notice I get tired by nowadays fits of culture and I get really grumpy when it comes to enjoying most things that creators fart in our general direction.
I rarely get surprised by any kind of pop culture, everything is recycled, remade or "safe" in sake of profit and catering to the lowest common denominator.
Movies are remade and/or raped en masse right now. TV series I get invested are usually cancelled or if run long enough turned into crap.
I mostly switched to less mainstream comic books published by Image, Dark Horse, Vertigo in other words not superhero crapolla but this year is a year of woke and mediocre. A high decline in quality of stories and focus on equality that well usually not equals quality.
What a shitty time to trudge through that awful existence when your escape options are massive turds made by talentless hacks...

How dare you. Do you not recognise:

The Trap
The Proton Pack
The PKE Meter
The Uniform
The Stay Puft (that was fucking very situational entity)
The fucking love work of the original directors child
The FUCKING WORK OF LOVE

Why are you not nostalgic? Did you not had a childhood? Why you don't love ghostbuster?

You know what's sad? The first half of the movie is good, enticing even! But the nostalgia second half trip to memory lane is not. And it's a shame because it's the fucking trend nowadays
this... this, could've been proper.
wtf are you on about, apart from the ending cameos it is a good movie, was going low expectation given rlm but was plesently surprised. i dont care about nostalgia, all that shit wasnt in my face

...but is it better than a Zack Snyder movie?
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.
So far I barely lasted 20 minutes before I lost interest and did something else. It felt really boring and lacked all the energy of the first two movies. Perhaps it gets better after that? I guess I'll check out the rest of the movie later.. but I'm not really feeling like it at the moment.
Nah he's not. They just cg'd him and didn't give him any dialogue so it worked.
Movie was ok. A serious-ish take on Ghostbusters.
Really enjoyed the look of it. Would love more in this tone.

I had the opposite take. Wife wanted to see it so got the yarr version and I lost interest in about 30 minutes.
This weird mix of coming of age/science fiction mystery thriller genre, didnt tickle my ghostbusters want. And the visual & audio nostalgia grabs made it worse, not better, for me. It had a "Incase you forgot because it so wildly different than the core of the franchise, this is a ghostbusters movie" vibe to the prop placement.
It had the same overall movie atmosphere like they took the movie "Signs" or such tossed in a bit of fall flat TV sitcom comedy, painted it with ghostbusters merchandise, and made it with kids growing up to "hit ALL the target audiences".
Be like if they took the police academy movies, and reframed it in the genre that the movie Scream was in. Both pretty good franchise movies on their own, but a let down to both when trying to re-make and old comedy into a psycho thriller.

See maybe I enjoyed it cause I wasn't a huge GB fan to begin with.
The memberberry moments were just reminders to me lol.
Like remember this part from the movie you rewatched recently and you didn't really enjoy because you don't understand why a long ass SNL skit was made into a movie? I watched it as a kid but didn't have any emotional connection to it. So it didn't feel like a butchering of a franchise. All Whamen reboot did though because of how forced it was. If Whamen reboot was more structured, it would have worked.
I'm not a huge fan either, but I'm not a real huge fan of movies overall. So the few I'd go "meh I'd watch that if it was on again" is special, I guess? As most I rarely want to see once much less a second time.
80's comedy movies are probably the closest I get to a 'genre type' I favor.
Even then my 'favorite' on a normal persons scale would be a 5 out of 10, I max out at 5...(Dunno I just can't get into movies, I need more than 1 1/2 hours to care about the story or characters, but any movie longer than that is 'too long' for me to sit thru...a self oxymoron I think).
Like star wars, seen them all. But never any individual one in its entirety in one sitting, or in order. It's usually when its on and someone was already watching it, or TV was left on it it happen to be on and a part I hadn't seen yet.
Why this seems extra bad to me I think. It was the quintessential 80's action comedy franchise with simple yet overly colorful trope character types that made it what it is, and they made it into a coming of age 'serious characters' mixed with sci fi drama.
