What are you basing that off of besides how much you enjoyed the film? Maybe others didn’t share your enthusiasm.

And you think that many comic book nerds aren't misogynistic?

I don't assume that comic book fans are more misogynistic as a group than any other. You have to remember that online feedback is literally a vocal minority in almost every case. Product reviews for example, bear this out. Lots of people can't be arsed to leave their opinions online and those that do are often angry for some reason. I believe this is why paid reviews are such an issue on Amazon. Sellers are trying to offset the negative vocal minority who got lemons or had bad shipping experiences.

Do you remember their response when the all-female Ghostbusters was announced? They lost their ****.

I see the extensive attention those comments got as a smokescreen. Like I said, Hollywood as a whole is not a champion for women's rights. But if they can convince people that anyone not watching their movie is a misogynist, then societal pressure will force many people to buy tickets who otherwise wouldn't have. I'm not surprised that there were some misogynist comments; there are so many people in the world that there is bound to be a couple of bad eggs leaving nasty comments on everything. I just don't think it's representative of how most people are. "News" sites also love to spread nasty news like that because it gets clicks and views.

Also, the new Dune movie currently has an 8.2, and the original has a 6.4 Yet the original is a much more entertaining movie. Although the new Dune movies isn't technically a remake, it could easily pass as one. The new Dune movie has more in common with the original Dune than the Ghostbusters reboot has in common with the original Ghostbusters.

Firstly, that's 100% your opinion on the entertainment front. That's subjective. Secondly, the situations were very different; Ghostbusters (2016) was a remake of a beloved classic while Dune (2021) was a remake of a critical failure.
The Dune novel was award-winning. It won the Hugo award and the first Nebula award for best novel. It has had a dedicated fanbase among sci-fi readers since 1965. The 1984 film may have been more entertaining minute-to-minute for some, but it was not a good adaption of that book. Objectively speaking, the 1984 Dune also had some issues with story structure and pacing due to condensing such a long and slow book into a 2 hr long movie. The special affects were also a product of their time. The lengthy expositional narration in the beginning is an example of how not to convey information in a film. David Lynch disowned the 1984 Dune due to studio meddling and hasn't been interested in blockbusters since.
If you doubt the relevance of book-readers at the box office, look at how the Narnia series declined in reception as they strayed further from the books with each installment. The effect was so severe that the series was cut short.
All in all, I think there are a lot of good reasons for the scores these two movies have.
