I remember watching Tenet for the first time and giving up because the sound mix is rather odd, and I find it hard to hear what the characters are saying. A year or so later, I stuck on a pair of decent headphones and tried again. Watched it all the way through and absolutely loved it.
I’m also one of the rare people to actually enjoy Ghostbusters (2016)! The trailers had me worried, and I expected the worst to be honest.
I’m with you on Ghostbusters 2016. If you’re not expecting an all-time great like the original was, it’s a good time. A decent comedy movie with a good heart. It helps if you’re watching the extended cut, though.
In a perfect world, I’d like a hybrid version. I think that some jokes in the extended cut fall a bit flat. Ideally, I would like the theatrical cut of the film but with the full dance number of the extended cut.
In a way, I’m quite happy the majority seem to hate it. I picked up the 2 disc Blu-ray edition in a Poundland store for just £2! When I got my PS5, it was one of the first 4K discs I purchased as it was only £5.
I’m mostly thinking of the dance number and the way the theatrical version cuts the final act split between Erin and Abby, which guts their respective arcs. I’ve only seen the theatrical once, so I couldn’t name what jokes it omitted. But there’s a good chance I’d agree with you, since there are a number of gags I wouldn’t miss. Mostly the “Kevin’s so dumb” bits, which don’t work for me.

Liking the unpopular film has its advantages. 😁
