Most of the critic reviews on places like Rotten Tomatoes are probably bought (Sony have done this in the past) and sites like the Guardian were always going to give it a positive review because they'd been writing article after article blaming all the negative reception towards the trailers on misogyny.
The reviews I watched described it as either meh or slightly above passable at best. Not nearly as abysmal as the trailers, but more of a Bridesmaids with ghosts than anything nerdy or sciency.
I felt that this was the reception from most 'professional critics' but the reviewers that I mentioned are the ones that I would personally trust and the verdict was pretty unanimous. Just the sources I value of course, nothing more.
Sure, I was only referring to the ones I trust as well. None of them are professional critics to be honest. The Rotten Tomatoes score remains skewed as hell, but at least it's not gonna crack the 6.0 on IMDB.
