Unlike the 2016 parody, this one respects the lore and characters. It's not perfect and has a couple of issues, like Star Wars Force Awakens, this movie tries to recreate the first movie's magic to the point that you can Kinda See plenty of similarities between this and 1984's classic. There are a few cringy lines to point out that Spengler's granddaughter is painfully awkward in social situations.
There are plenty of callbacks to the original movie. Now I'm super torn because I want to talk about the movie, but I can't because I don't want to spoil things.
This reference from the original movie could be considered a spoiler... when another callback to the original movie happened, I actually quoted the Nostalgia Critic...Zuul motherfucker, Zuul!!
Ironically, it's biggest strength is it's biggest flaw. Nostalgia. This movie is not a "starting point" for a franchise despite being "a starting point" for the next generation. And of course, it's getting unfair criticism because it ignores the 2016 parody. Just watch the movie.
