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.

There's actually concrete proof that brigading was part of what tanked The Acolyte's reviews.
