So like... look at how high the rating is for this movie based on user reviews, and then go look at how high the rating is for the Ghostbusters remake, then go watch those movies back-to-back, and tell me Ghostbusters isn't better than this garbage.

People like this movie because they either like Tom Hardy, or have a juvenile sense of humor, or are from China (who funded this movie, hi Tencent sockpuppet reviewers!). The dialogue is ridiculous. The jokes all fall flatter than a pancake. The characters care next to nothing about the seriousness of the events unfolding around them. It's bad.

This is a bad movie.

Even the people who like it say to turn your brain off. Which I'm willing to do half the time, but not when the movie is THIS uninspired. Maybe if it had more fun, maybe if the dialogue wasn't so corny, maybe if the visual effects weren't so half-assed, but all those factors fall short of something better. Coupled with the fact this is produced by Tencent, and I'm just left with a rotten taste in my mouth.

The character design was on-point. That's the one nice thing to say about this movie.

Everything else was so forgettable and bland that it's like I had a memory lapse when I try to think back on any resonating impression or feelings I'd had about it, or than that it was a big waste of time.

If I ever meet someone who says they loved this movie, that is going to be a big grain of salt for my interactions with them moving forward.
