I wouldn't pay much attention to the Guardian, their film reviews are generally awful.
I still can't get over their claim Shrek is the worst animated film ever

The review in the Guardian does read like the reviewer started out with an agenda, and it also includes a mild-spoiler (which is an infuriating habit of the Guardian's film reviews I keep falling into). Worth remembering it isn't the newspaper as a whole's opinion - it is one reviewer's opinion. When Bradshaw/Kermode etc.... start reviewing it they may have a completely different take in the same paper/site.
That being said...I can understand the reviewer hating the fact that all the gammons didn't give the 2016* version a chance, but are all giddy with excitement at this one. It is the most perfect example of idiotic Incel fury I can think of.
*The 2016 version wasn't great (although it certainly isn't the catastrophe many people say it was - it was just meh). But all the gammon lot had decided before they watched it that it was shit, and a disgrace and were gonna hate it anyway.
Aye, that was a particularly bizarre claim. In fairness, I think it was part of a 'unpopular opinions' series of articles (which, if so, it kind of achieved it's purpose with aplomb).

I'm sure we had an Unpopular Opinion thread on here. That must have come up on there

to me its the stranger things version of ghostbusters, going off the trailer. similar to the first IT reboot...
only bit im worried about, is that the trailer to me (its become more & more common) seems to almost give away the whole plot of the entire film - im wondering if there's must left to see, or they've already just put all the good bits in there.
Surely people being excited for this has nothing to do with gammons not like the prior more to do with the prior being utter shite and this being a sequel to the originals

Suppose the difference is that those gammons had decided beforehand that the 2016 version was shit. It was spammed with negative ratings before anyone had seen it on review aggregation sites, and the general conversation around it was toxic.

My criticism of the Shrek review was it felt like they just looked for a beloved film and decided to go against popular opinion just for the sake of it. The points made were weak as piss.
It got absolutely roasted on Twitter.

Surely the point of an "unpopular opinions" piece?

The 2016 version was nowhere near as bad as people wanted it to be but it still wasn’t great. The way people went on about it before it was even committed to tape was embarrassing.

Watched it with the gf at home and didn’t understand all the controversy surrounding it. It was watchable but easily forgot.

Which is pretty much a terrible thing to do with a great, revered franchise.
Especially when you make a big grandstanding point like they did.

So hang on. If somebody makes a mediocre film, linked to an existing and popular franchise, then they deserve the absolute abuse the makers and (in particular) the actors involved got? And the film deserves negative ratings and absolute bile BEFORE it has even been released?
Bloody hell. Didn’t realise that. Suspect Harrison Ford better brace himself for the absolute pelters he’s gonna get before the next Indiana Jones film then. Itll be utterly brutal.

Striker
Yes, that's exactly what I said.
You've properly nailed me there mate.
Bond was good.
Ghostbusters meets bridesmaids was utterly shite.
Ghostbusters 2016 was so laughably shit though, and then the media tried to paint anyone against it as anti woman.

People we voting it as zeroes on IMDB before it had even been released. Saying that there was a strong sexist vibe against it is probably fair comment.
Lots and lots of people decided, before watching it, that they hated it. And we all know the reason
