It doesn't look too bad but it does look like it's sticking too close to the original.

[Nicky91]

wrong thread, should've been with the Movies topic



but it looks good, not better than the Original Ghostbusters, but different good


:) :)

[Northern Monkey]

It looks like a cheesy copy to me.The original gb's were actually quite funny and had good chemistry and of course were legendary actors.Also four women just does'nt work for me.

the original was pretty cheesy too tbf :laugh:

Why doesn't 4 women work as a matter of interest? :think:

[Jamie89]

I think it looks like it could be good. It's getting a LOT of criticism on youtube though. Some of it seems to just be because it's a female cast (:umm2:) but there's also a lot of people commenting on racial stereotyping. The white quantum physicist, the black uneducated sassy loud one, which crossed my mind when I watched it too if I'm honest. I'm hoping it's good though. If they get it right, I think it could actually be a big step forward for women in movies, it's not often you get an all female cast, especially one that replaces an all male cast, it's pretty unheard of.

[Lostie!]

I think it looks really funny, definitely fancy seeing this.

But people were always gonna hate on it, unfortunately.

[Mokka]

lol...I Liked the trailer... she bitch slapped the ghost outta her ... :joker:

Yes its so not real.

[Josy]

I um well, I just don't know what to say apart from why are they ruining all of these older movies :umm2:

[Niamh.]

Yes its so not real.

Yes 4 male Ghost busters is far more believable

[Nicky91]

I um well, I just don't know what to say apart from why are they ruining all of these older movies :umm2:

well i agree with you


don't mess with Iconic older movies



and Ghostbusters are Iconic, Bill Murray Dan Ackroyd and Harold Ramis, nobody will do it better than them :)

[Northern Monkey]

the original was pretty cheesy too tbf :laugh:

Catching ghosts is mans work.Women are too sympathetic to the needs of the ghosts and would probably let them go if they felt sorry for them.The women should be makin the god dam sammiches for the ghostbusters.

I think it looks good, i definitely want to see it.........GIRL POWER:hee:

It looks good. :joker: Love Penny, if that's her name.

[Xtopher]

The negativity is outrageous.

[Calderyon]

It´s not as bad as i thought it would be, but still no... just no.

Not going to my watchlist.

[Scarlett.]

It could have been good, but all the acting feels stilted, it kinda looks like a sketch, rather than a film, the original Ghostbusters worked as an action film as well as a comedy, if you took the comedy out of the original, it still worked as a action film, this one? I doubt it. Also, FFS at the OTT sterotypical black woman.

Might just be a case of a bad trailer, this recut version is much better

[Babayaro.]

This looks awful. It looks like more of a spoof than anything, and tries too hard to be funny, whereas the original had the right blend of action and comedy.

[Shaun]

It does seem any complaints about Hollywood rehashing classic movies for no real reason other than monetary gain just seem to be met with "sexist!!!!! you're so sexist!!!!!!!!!!" outrage. Which is absurd.

I like all four of the actresses here but I can't see this being anything above 'ok'.

well said, they need to stay away from classic movies



they are good actresses, i agree but if this movie becomes a big success, i doubt that

Exactly. I think it'd look crap regardless of which gender was its main cast. Some films just need to be left alone in terms of remakes, and Ghostbusters is one of them

[Ammi]

...it's a good cast and I think perfectly chosen as females for the remake because they won't then be compared so much to the originals, who gelled so well together...but the trailer to me just says...well hello, we're all funny and work well together, which wouldn't be enough on it's own to make a great re-make of such an iconic movie..I agree with Chewy, there has to be action filled substance to it as well....

[Glenn.]

I like what I've seen so far. It's only a teaser right? Loving the music too :love:

[Calderyon]

I agree with Chewy and Marc. It´s almost feels like a 10 minutes comedy parody sketch made for Saturday Night or MadTV that has been stretched to 2 hours or so.

Also Melissa McCarthy in the casting isn´t helping at all.

[Kyle]

Absolutely tragic.

[Toy Soldier]

Err... I have no problem at all with the ghostbusters being women... however... the film looks pretty awful... let's be honest. I sort of have a feeling that it's going to do better than it should BECAUSE it's women, like a sort of "girl power" vibe where you're not allowed to say that it's **** because then you're sexist. Even if it's legitimately ****.

[Amy Jade]

I'm open minded about it, I absolutely love Ghostbusters (the 2nd movie is my favourite) and I think it looks pretty funny from that teaser.

I never really understand people bitching about remakes or reimaginings either, this coming out won't change the older movies being good...if anything it could get the older movies more attention really.

Because some of these movies being remade are classics (IMO), well thought out stories and ideas that are then taken and butchered with the over use of massive budgets and too much cgi, yeah there may be one or two good remakes but most of the time they are completely diabolical (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory anyone?). The original movies are getting pushed into obscurity and future generations wont even know they exist.

Making sequels rather than remakes would be better imo and at least show some creativity.

[billy123]

Im not going to judge it on a trailer.

I think the new Ghostbusters film is a sequel though, rather than a remake?

Im not going to judge it on a trailer.

I watched the original Ghostbusters trailer and it was on a similar par to the current one (worse actually in some ways. The new one is getting criticised for the racial stereotyping of the black character. In the original trailer, the black ghostbuster wasn't even credited!) But yeah I agree basically, it's impossible to tell from that trailer whether or not it will be good.

I cant even fathom how people are judging it from a 2 min promo clip it makes no sense to me. Although there is one thing that does bug me a bit.
This is supposed to be a reboot I.E. a fresh start like the original movie never happened but the trailer starts with:

"30 years ago 4 scientists saved new york this summer a new team will answer the call"

They just acknowledged the original movie exists in the first 5 seconds! that annoys me a bit but still im not going to judge it until i have seen it.

I dont usually even do trailers and usually steer well clear of reviews and imdb until i have seen a movie (because there is always negativity deserved or not) but i am really looking forward to this.

[Josy]

I must be completely different then because I know by a trailer whether it's my type of movie or not, I'm not saying you can tell what the entire movie will be like but it does give you a general feel of it and with this one in particular you find put straight away that it's apparently a sequel to the original movies yet it looks like the exact storyline from the first ghostbusters apart from this time it's females, I'll still watch this due to loving the original ones.

[Toy Soldier]

I feel like it's both a sequel and a semi-reboot. It takes place in the same world, and the original Ghostbusters did exist, but other than maybe a vague mention of them inventing / building the proton packs etc. I doubt the old films will be referred to much at all (other than as easter-eggs).

:worry:

I don't know why they haven't released a new trailer when the current one is clearly so unpopular.

[Tom4784]

They showed a different trailer when I went to see Batman vs Superman which I thought was better.

TBH though, the trailer was always going to get a vitriolic response due to the fact that it's a reboot focused on women. Meninists can't handle it when men aren't presented as the center of the universe.

See I'm npot sure that's fair since it does look legitimately... not very good. It's too easy a defence to be able to jump to - "you're just saying it's bad because it's women!!" - it sort of takes away anyone's ability to say "Actually it's just sh*te."

I think it's probably a combination of both. It's not a good trailer, but there are also a lot of comments on YT which are out and out sexist (not to mention a lot of sexist comments being made about the film before the trailer was even released). So even though I can see why a lot of people genuinely think it's a bad trailer, I don't think it's so bad that it deserves such an overwhelmingly negative reception, like the one it's received, so there must be more to it than just that.

A tad overdramatic.
Of course future generations will know they exist. Just like current generations have the ability to watch movies from almost 100 years ago.

In the case of things like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that was a different adaptation of the source material, not a remake of the 1970s film.

[Jamie89]

Second trailer released:

I don't know. I think it's better than the first trailer but I'm worried the movie is going to be really cheesy. (This one is also getting a massive amount of dislikes on YT.)

[Amy Jade]

It sort of looks like a kids movie, like the Scooby Doo movies

[Scarlett.]

Apparently its a pretty average film. Not too bad, but not amazingly good either. Looks like it was just a case of bad trailers.

[Jake.]

Ghostbusters has received generally positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has a rating of 73%, based on 37 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Ghostbusters does an impressive job of standing on its own as a freewheeling, marvelously cast supernatural comedy -- even if it can't help but pale somewhat in comparison with the classic original."[36] On Metacritic the film has a score of 62 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

[arista]

"generally positive reviews from critics."

I always thought that was the point.

Ghostbusters was hardly "grown up" material really.

The First one was for Everyone
Kids and Adults - Big Earner

Marsh you are most wrong

[Marsh.]

So it has something in common with the original after all then.

I'm going off what Metacritic says
http://www.metacritic.com/movie/ghostbusters-2016
It's sitting at 63/100 atm

Usually I'd go off what the audience thinks, rather than critics, but I think a lot of people have already decided it's crap without seeing it.

[arista]

Kermode to Destroy it on Friday (or his Stand In)

Say for children
but fails as REBOT

[Liberty4eva]

There's been a review embargo on this movie until the day of release which usually means that the movie is crap. I'm not against women being the main characters of a movie but ghostbusters (in my mind) is kind of a male thing. Is that a controversial thing? I would feel the same way if there ever was a movie called "Alex in Wonderland" or "The Little Merman". Some genders are meant for certain movies.

Exactly this. Too many people have decided that it's awful without actually seeing it, if you watch something thinking you'll hate it then the chances are you will but if people actually gave it a chance then they could make up their own minds. Yes, it could be a bad movie but I'll decide that for myself by actually watching it first.

[billy123]

I quite enjoyed it as did most people it seems. Just goes to show how unreasonable it is to judge a movie before you have seen it.
