How is the world wrong about this movie?

From Bryan Connolly: This was and is so hated by so many people. Yes, the constant shoehorning of pop culture and bombardment of frenetic CGI is a brain overload, but this is Spielberg having a lot of fun…and it’s been a while since he’s relaxed and just had a good time. He’s allowed it! The most expensive film collage movie ever made. Did we menton it has Chucky in it!!!
