Movies goes downhill once Whoopi Goldberg is introduced

Ok squire.

I disagree, I thought the movie became more fun and interesting to watch once we see Whoopi Goldberg.

She actually won an Oscar for her role in this movie. I kinda liked her but I suppose the movie wouldn't have been worse without her. They could've gotten just about anyone to play that role, but I think they were going for the most awkward selection for some dramatic effect.

For whatever reason, it worked pretty good in this film. An interesting choice might have been Sigourney Weaver. She was pretty good in the Ghostbuster films and of course, the Alien movies too.

But it worked out pretty good with Whoopi.
