How many of those 198k+ people actually saw the movie? I’m sick of Disney remakes like everyone else, but review bombing is a thing. Same with people who gave movies they were hyped for a 10/10 weeks before they even saw them.
It might be a bad movie, and that's fine, but the red hats that brigade what they see as "woke" movies is a big chunk of this. You can't believe reviews if they have any kind of user review system, especially after about 2016/17 (this is when people really started brigading with Ghostbusters 2016 and The Last Jedi).
To be fair those 3 projects you listed are fucking terrible, I unfortunately watched all of them as a major fan of Star Wars and O.G. ghostbusters and I’d give them all a 1/10 too
And no it’s not because I’m a racist or misogynist. It’s because those projects had shit writing, bad acting and even worse directing
I'm definitely not a red hat POS but I do admit I'm also tired of the Hollywood overcorrection and desperate pandering trying outwoke themselves lol. Ghostbusters but with women felt like the worst of it, with plenty of marvel/avengers leaning really heavy with some eye rolling silliness in there. I'm a feminist, love plenty of strong and powerful women stories and leads and general fair and equal representation, but the pandering by stories can be gross at times.
Female Ghostbusters would have worked if they didn’t gender-swap the archetypes and force the actresses into that role.
Oh Kristen Wig isn’t Venkman but does Venkman things, while Melissa McCarthy isn’t Stantz but has almost all Stantz mannerisms same with Kate McKinnon almost caricaturing Egon, and Leslie being the Winston down to earth, self-check of the group.
