Ghostbusters General Thread

[g2vd]

HahahahhahahHAHAHAHAHA! Looks like mindless popcorn fun. If by any chance I do see. I wont see it in theaters unless someone comes and suffers with me. But seriously this is exactly what I expected. So Im not as cringed and dissappointed as everyone else. Besides they cant all be winners.

You have failed your country.

Yeah, I didn't laugh at all during this trailer...there were a few funny bits such as the wig hat, the Black actress slapping (Marchartiney)?, the ghost puking on..that actress, and the Ecto 1's reveal but other than that it wasn't funny at all.

It's like every stupid over played to hell joke rolled into one movie.

It was pretty cool to see Slimer again though.

Anyone know what the Genera Audience is saying about this movie so far?

[g2vd]

Just look at the like/dislike ratio.

^that was very out of place sexualizing of a woman for a movie that claims to be so progressive too.


Not that I have a problem with it neccessarily... just kinda jarring and out of place?

[Underworld54]

We have a new GINO my peeps.

[XxComablack1937xX]

Didn't like it, Didn't hate it.... It was just ''Meh'' might eventually watch it but so far def wont be paying to see it.

That trailer wasn't all that great. Enjoyed the way the demons look though, but there was nothing in that trailer that made me go ''This might be decent/i might wanna see it'' that's for sure.

Also didn't laugh or smirk once.

[Mr. Xeno]

Visually, I must say that it looks quite impressive. Yeah, the ghosts are all CGI, but they seem to be doing some creative things with their designs, and the remix of the classic theme was very catchy.

The jokes were pretty lame, though. I just REALLY hope they're being smart by saving the best ones for the final film. I loved Paul Feig's last three movies, but this trailer didn't inspire the hope in me that I needed to stop listening to all the hate.

I agree. The ghost designs looked good enough, but the jokes weren't good at all. It's gonna take a lot more to restore my faith for this film after everything that's happened so far regarding it.

A comedy that isn't funny. Gonna do great!

[TheSecondComing]

This is this year's Fantastic Four.

[Giratina93]

Yeah... pass. Bad movie is bad.

[Greyshot151]

So after reading all the posts I didn't see it as being...ATROCIOUS as many people are lamenting. It looks okay, maybe good. I'll hold final judgement for the film.

[Kaiju-King42]

After a debate about this movie with a roommate earlier today, apparently I'm "sexist" for not agreeing with the film sacrificing a franchise with a large fanbase just to spread its message about gender equality.

The inability to dislike this movie without being labeled a "misogynist" skreeonking infuriates me more than anything the movie itself has done. I HOPE this film fails.

Gira, stop touching my posts.

Chicken.

[Jeff-Goldblum1]

Doesn't look too bad. I'll definitely see it one way or another.

[UltramanGoji]

Oh god, it's so bad. It's so bad.

I'm completely fine with a female Ghostbusters. There's absolutely no problem with that at all. IDW did it (mostly female) and it was fantastic.

But these jokes...these characters...it's all so horrible and lifeless.

And even if the characters were male in the trailer, it would still be bad.

[The One and Only]

The All-New, All-Different Ghostbusters from IDW a few years back in case your wondering what some are talking about.


While I've kind of dreading this, it looks alright. The CGI looks decent enough. If your looking for God-didly awful CGI ghosts. Check out the 1999 remake of THE HAUNTING. And honestly I'm also getting sick of this Melissa McCarthy bashing. The woman is an awesome physical comedian. And just out and out funny. Her bits from her hosting Saturday Night Live got me laughing so hard, some would think I'd require an iron lung. here's two of them.
One of her as the worst horror movie audience member ever.

And her as a ruthless, abusive girls basketball coach.

Kinda feel sorry for this movie. Its either gonna bomb harder than Fantastic Four or sustain itself purely on Nostalgia alone like Ninja Turtles and Transformers.

[Starsteam]

I'll say it again, there would be a whole lot less complaints if at least one member of the new team was a male, just like the IDW comics. Doesn't even have to be the leader. The new cast isn't any more diverse than the original (not that the femnies care, as long as men are out of the picture they'll defend anything).

Not that it would have helped this film any. At least this doesn't look like last year's Pixels.

I don't have any strong hate against McCarthy. She's just not my kind of funny. Really hoping Joel and the MST cast does a commentary with this film too, that's the only laughs I could get out of The Heat.
