Jay 31058 Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 OK finally watched the trailer. It was TERRIBLE! This is supposed to be a comedy, yet I didn't laugh once. Not a good sign! (There are PLENTY of bad comedies out there that can still put together a funny and sometime even a hilarious trailer - usually by including all the best bits in it [leaving the rest of the film a huge letdown]). But here.... nothing was funny at all! And the music was god awful. Yuck! Special effects were fantastic, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brónach 492 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I hope this doesn't prevent more movies featuring mostly women from existing. I know people see in a very different light a bad movie about men and a bad movie about women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 2389 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I reserve any judgements until I've seen the movie but it just seems like a dead franchise to me.

I can't stop thinking about that ponderous tall ghost stilting through Times Square. The kneejerk reaction belongs to people who are so beheld to a great 80s comedy and its mediocre sequel, or to people who call other people "feminazis" and "social justice warriors."

Not everyone, but some. For some other people, it's not their cuppa tea - I get that. But there is no denying that for many, there are external factors in play: the thought that Ghostbusters should be well enough alone; the very idea of a reboot vs. a sequel; the gender of the four leads; etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3251 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 It looks tacky and very passable, but no worse than any of the other comedies coming out lately. Doesn't really deserve the flack it's getting so early on. Most of the hate stems from affection for the original. Loert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
