Only for nostalgists?

I haven't seen this movie yet, is it only for nostalgists? I grew up in the 80s but have zero sentimental attachment to it's pop culture...

I'll probably check it out in theatre this week, as Spielberg is usually entertaining when it comes to blockbuster type movies... Also, it's nice that this is non-comicbook...

The glorification of pop culture is the only thing that elevates the movie beyond a throwaway cliche. Shakespeare this is not, but I enjoyed it more I would normally have because of the references.
