The reverse of that post I've made a week ago...

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn't take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG... These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

So many movies but let's go with: Ghostbusters 2016. I had an absolute blast watching it and Chris played one of the best himbos of all time

Ya, I didn't think it was great but it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. It was fine.

My only real problem with it is that despite being all-woman led, it fails to be a feminist movie because Chris Hemsworth steals every scene he is in! Other than that it was fine. Not great but watchable

What? No, it's a female gaze movie through and through. Like George of the Jungle back in the day

Now you've reminded me of this joke again.

Gotta love that narrator. One of my favorite narrators in a movie.

Ghostbusters 2016 is under appreciated for what it accomplishes over the original, the recent one with the grandkids is so generic and bland.
