I enjoyed it

I don't understand most movie critics. A movie does not have to be a huge masterpiece of success for the average person to enjoy it. Sure it wasn't the best film of its era and in no way compares to SNF. But I still enjoyed all the 80s elements of it and just the nostalgia of seeing some great actors in their youth. Movie critics need to take sticks out their butts sometimes and just realize that not every movie HAS to be great for it to be enjoyable. For heavens sake ppl, chill. Maybe im just being biased cuz im a 80s baby, and pretty much love anything 80s, not just movies.

Also want to add that maybe the fact that this movie was intended to be a sequel to SNF prob was a big reason why its got alot of hate. It had alot of high expections cuz of it. If this movie hadnt been "the sequel to SNF" and had just been another 80s movie with John Travolta. I think alot of ppl woulda have felt differently about it cuz it wouldnt have had the high expectations that it had. Idk, but either way i still liked it.
