Yea, I choose to agree with Angry Joe on this one, 2 or 3 out of 10. The sad thing is because of the politicization of this, you are going to have many reviewers who are either afraid to rate it too low, which would bring SJW backlash, or ones who support their agenda, so will push the movie no matter how bad it is. The latter you can tell when they spend 1/4 to 1/2 of the review bashing detractors as sexist trolls.
And I'm ashamed of Sony's actions in this. They have been removing the constructive criticism from the comments on the trailers, only leaving ones that could be construed as sexist, or are sexist, adding fuel to the flames and trying to make this a sex thing. Don't think it's going to help, though, as this movie will ultimately fail or succeed on its own merits.
Personally, I highly doubt it'll even come close to the 2nd one's box office, ~$243M in the US and ~$466M WW (both adjusted for inflation.) It has no chance at all of touching the original, ~$611M in the US and ~$753M WW (again, both adjusted for inflation.) And those totals are both with much smaller theatre count and a much smaller WW market of the 80's. Though, the new one will have to do it without China, like the previous ones had to.
