What makes it Ultra-PC? Have they changed the book that much?

I'm curious about this too. I saw something interesting about the reviews on this movie on twitter yesterday though. Someone posted a few of the "fresh" reviews of the movie. If you read them, they weren't actually positive.

ETA: I just glanced at some of the fresh reviews and they gave ratings like 2.5/5 or 2.5/4 and 3/5. I guess ratings are subjective, but where do they draw the line at fresh/rotten?

In this day of "rightwashing" of entertainment where any hint of progressivism brings out alt-right trolls to spam bad reviews on RT and flood people's feeds with negativity, it likely is "ultra PC" because it has... a black person in it.

It's considered Ultra-PC because they cast different ethnicities instead of having everyone be white.
