The only reason people ultimately fake hate that movie was there was a bit more humor to it than expected. Which really wasn’t that much in comparison to a lot of films, but people pretty much wanted like a non funny Oscar film.
Like I this movie didn’t have even a quarter of the humor of say Shazam and many of the people on the coli that shyt on AoU absolutely praise, juelz, and love Shazam
There have been a few great movies since it dropped so of course it’s not gonna be as great as the latter, which I think it’s a plus to see how the series/franchise got better and better.
But in my opinion, I didn’t think it was a terrible movie back then and don’t think it’s terrible now.
