I see now
OK, I think I've found the problem.
People didn't hate this movie, they just had a fixed idea in their head what a new Ghostbusters movie should be (even a remake).
And so they held this not only to an impossibly high standard but felt it should be just like the original. If you want the original just watch the original. I've never seen it though.
You don't owe it to like it but you do owe it to watch it for it is, not what it isn't, because otherwise you miss out on a good experience.
Maybe it wasn't (entirely) misogyny after all.
