Ghostbusters Franchise

[Novak 1334]

This trailer (and film) is being destroyed everywhere, literately everyone dislikes it. 48K dislikes for the trailer so far!!

But how much is that because of the trailer. It's not a great trailer but I think the down votes have alot to do with the female direction. The film is basically become a poster child for feminism and anti-feminism.

And to the guy who says Feig is a hack, that's just stupid.

Pretty much what i was thinking.

I'm the guy who said Feig is a hack, he really is.  He's trying to be smart by writing female central movies, (which I have no problem with) Look at Bridesmaids, should have been a 'girl power' movie which is a good idea, but all it did was take what Judd Apatow has done and remove the male chromosomes.  Gross out humour.  As for this, Mcarthey will have at least eight weight jokes, Wieg will be quirky and weird, Chris Hemsworth in a tight vest.  This film will be an abortion, they recycled an Exorcist joke!!!  Who wrote the script?  The f**king Wayans brothers?!!!

Looks like fun. I'll reserve judgement until the film is released.

I wonder if its linked to the first 2? If so why call it Ghostbusters? Not Ghostbusters 3.

It's like if they made a prequel to The Thing and called it The Thing....oh wait.

I have this feeling of insanity when I read "looks like fun". I understand that the effects aren't yet done and there's a lot of clean up to get finished but how the hell did you arrive at "looks like fun"? I was actually holding out hope that they would be able to deliver but that trailer was passionless.

It's appears to be a near literal remake of the original that takes place 30 years after said original. So it's a sequel-remake-rehash-reboot. If such a thing makes any goddamn sense. It is Ghostbusters 3. Wait why does everything smell like copper?

[Vertigo]

Yeah, if it wasn't for the titles near the start of the trailer, I'd have said it looks like a loose-ish remake. I'm with Alien3 though, trailer looked alright to me, withholding judgement until it's out (unless critical reception is dire I'll probably be seeing it).

My favourite comment:

"If they were all men, this would just be an Adam Sandler movie."

So accurate...

Just my initial reaction man. Trailers can be deceptive, not all jokes, scenes etc seen in trailers makes it to the final product so it might change. Might.

This is a better trailer.

The editing differs...but the main reason why it is better: it shows less, it cuts pretty much everything, almost 2 minutes

Better, indeed!

Wow that's the trailer they should have shown...it actually makes me want to see it.

[Sabby]

Already Cracked and Buzzfeed are trying to portray the negative reception as 'sexist assholes who don't like female casts'.

Or... or... hear me out... maybe people are mad because someone thought all the reboot needed was a gender swap without an understanding of the humor, or the tone, or anything about Ghostbusters that made it good in the first place. If you really think you can sell a film on the gender of the cast alone, that's textbook pandering.

Yep gotta agree that was a better trailer for those exact reasons. 

I understand that sometimes a good movie can have a really shitty trailer. The first BvS trailer in my opinion was awful, for example. However this trailer was so not funny and stereotypical as heck.

He's a troll, he says stuff like this purely for the reaction.

Except I am not a troll and those were my actual thoughts.
