The 2016 Feig-directed Ghostbusters film. Like, it's not a masterpiece but it's still an enjoyable film.

It has a 49% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, so about half of people seem to agree with you.

As a stand-alone film, it is probably fine. As an entry in the Ghostbusters franchise, I did not enjoy the film.

Same. I thought it was actually quite enjoyable. Too long in the opening parts in particular, but once it gets going it has a lot of really funny moments.

Plus, as much as I could say "It could have been better", I will also have to concede that given the modern Ghostbusters, fuck could it have been worse. ๐Ÿ˜… Overall, pretty damn good.

That was such a weird one to me. I think partly they leaned too hard into trying to leverage controversy for attention, but still, the movie was fine. Like... except for the first one, they've all just been "okay" movies, in that context it's probably one of the better ones.
