13 Critically Acclaimed Recent Movies That Actually Sucked

6. Ghostbusters

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 73% (6.5/10)

What The Critics Said: In the wake of all that toxic pre-release controversy, the critical consensus was that Ghostbusters succeeded thanks to its strong cast and eccentric tone, ensuring this was a fun contemporary riff on the classic franchise.

Why It Actually Sucked: It says a lot that the funniest thing about the female-led Ghostbusters movie is a male supporting character, in Chris Hemsworth's Kevin, and while the four leading ladies are definitely well-cast in their parts, the script just gives them so freaking little to work with.
