The Rotten Tomatoes audience score is sus as hell. Half the comments look like a YouTube spambot wrote them. There's no way that the audience is enjoying this.
Critics score is down to 48% with the "Top Critics" filter dropping it to 40%.
Are you saying that they only remembered to include the majority populations of gays, lesbians, trannies, and forgot the token straight person?

Nah. At least as far as I know. There's one gay male couple is all I heard. An entire rainbow of colors of characters that were race swapped too.

Saw Venom 2 in the theater. Went ahead and watched the first one from 2018 before I did.
I was pleasantly surprised.
Not as good as Deadpool, but the first one was probably better than Free Guy. The 2nd one wasn't as good, but it was about what you could hope for in a sequel.

Anybody see Ghostbusters?
My old man and brother did and said it was "entertaining" but that was about it. Kind of what I expected out of it.

Looks like I missed Last Night in Soho. Nothing else showing worth watching, last week.

I would have seen it in the theater had I gone to visit this time. I'll watch it when it's out on video.
I did watch the 2016 version, and it wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of people said it was. It just wasn't good either. If it weren't for all of the gross publicity surrounding it for so long, I don't think anybody would even remember it even happened anymore.
The new one sounds like it was at least a step in the right direction, but I think they probably missed the mark and made it geared toward kids with just enough nostalgia in it to be something that adults can watch with their kids.
I think people forget that the original Ghostbusters wasn't a kid's movie at all, especially by mid-80's standards. It's hard to imagine that after the cartoon became so popular and the remake was so watered down from the original.
It was really a horror movie first, with adult humor 2nd. Most of the jokes went over kids heads when the watched it in the 80's, and it starred some of the edgiest comics of the times, with one of them getting a blowjob from a ghost in between scenes where he was smoking cigarettes.
It seemed, at least to me, that I was getting away with something when I watched it at 6 or 7 years old. I doubt very much that any kid who watches Afterlife is going to have that same feeling.
But at least I don't hear anybody claiming it's woke, despite the lead kid being a girl.

I don't care what anybody says... Super Mario Bros. was a great flick.
Young me didn't appreciate it and knew that it hardly had anything to do with the source material, but when you look back at the early Mario games you have to admit it's not like they had a lot of source material to work with.
And the story behind the movie is probably even more interesting than the movie was itself.

Video game movies can be dumb but I caught super Mario again some years back and it was a funny movie Dennis Hopper super weird in it playing the lizards.
Not sure what is up with Hollyweird these days
However South Korea film and tv makes money, Spider-Man No Way Home made a lot of money
