I'm writing this during my 2nd viewing. Good grief, I'm bored. If you take away the crutches of the CGI & the relentless, endless, oh god make it stop 80's references then you're left with a dull story full of plot holes, terrible dialogue & very poor acting.
I grew up in the 80's. I love it. However having every single pop culture reference of that decade on screen every 2 minutes in this movie, that's an hour too long, is quite frankly making me irritated & disappointed in Spielburg. It's like when a child in a candy store got too excited trying to make a cake, and put EVERY SINGLE THING he could see in it. It feels like watching the battle scene in Avengers Endgame, but for 2 hours and 20 minutes. If you're (physically or mentally) 15 & under, you'll love it.
