And I'll be honest with you -- there's no fucking way this is a 2/10 movie. 

It's a 6/10 movie, about the same as Ghostbusters II. Multiple people who have actually seen the movie on this board have said basically the same thing I have, yet you guys who haven't seen the film think you know better. 

It's not a great film, but it's not *that* bad either. The script is the main problem with the film, not the casting, not the special effects, not even the humor really. 

There are easily 5-6 big budget summer movies already released that are a good deal worse. 

I think you probably need to rewatch it a couple of times before you realize how bad it actually is.  People that say that it is a okay movie are not being honest with themselves.  The movie has plot holes, the jokes are lame, its sexist towards man, the main villain is very weak, the CGI isn't that good, the overall script isn't very good, its poorly shot (not very cinematic), it has way to many jump cuts etc etc.  If you want a professional opinon read Richard Ropers review he explains it in detail why it is a hot mess if you want a fan of the franchises perspective watch Angry Joe's review.  

The film isn't great, but It isn't bad either. As someone doing a master in Film Theory I can't tell you that Soundwave is right. There were worse big summer movies released this year. No one is saying that the film is amazing, people are just saying that isn't bad. There is nothing wrong with that. If you need to watch a film a couple of times to realize how bad it's , then that just proves that the film isn't bad at all.
