    More a reflection of people’s attention spans these days compared to when the movie is released. Read any online discussion about media and it seems like people are on their phones for 40% of the show at minimum.

    Hell the original film would probably not do well if released today because it doesn’t have the obvious shoehorned plot points that the new movies have to cut through the morons.

      There were plenty of morons in the 80s and 90s. Half the population suffered from severe lead poisoning. The other half were hopped up on neo liberal propaganda.
