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.

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.

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".

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.

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.
