As a girl, I thought it was unfunny, derivative, and cautious

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on Mar 04, 15:43 in response to Antibody's post What do the ladies in the house think?

I thought the actors were miscast and couldn't decide if they should be homages to the originals or their own people...and seemed stuck in the worst place - the middle.

I watched the original in the last 6 months and it's still funny...I didn't laugh at a single gag in this trailer, except the last one...not a good sign (hopefully, it was a badly done trailer, and not a badly done movie)...

The official ghostbusters trailer has 104.7k 'thumbs up' and 191.7k 'thumbs down'... has a ratio like that ever appeared on a big trailer? {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 04, 12:21

Not that I can recall. I thought it was bad when I first saw it at just over 50% dislikes, now it's approaching 2/3rds. Crazy {nm} MattW Mar 04, 12:35

I thought it was bad. The movies from the 1980ths called, they wanted to give the new movie their special effects to improve it {nm} mattep74 Mar 04, 12:46

my son thought it sucked too {nm} Dorfman Mar 04, 13:05

So now, in addition to yelling "uh-oh" for SUPE2 I must now do the same for GHST3. {nm} eallensbp Mar 04, 12:57

Well, feel free to short both stocks. {nm} ~JPV~ Mar 04, 13:18

Please let us know how shorting SUPE2 works out for you. {nm} Raven9167 Mar 04, 14:14

Based on the comments, some of the thumbs down is straight up sexism. {nm} Antibody Mar 04, 12:58

Sexism on the internet? Why I never! :) {nm} notfabio Mar 04, 13:04

Even so, the disappointment registering across all demos that watched it can hardly be attributed to any protected class. eallensbp Mar 04, 13:09

How are you speaking for all demos? IMO, it looks fine. {nm} Antibody Mar 04, 13:12

if there had been no original Ghostbusters, it would be the next "RIPD" {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 04, 13:14

Disagree, PFEIG-MMCCA team-up has a proven track record. {nm} Antibody Mar 04, 13:16

It's actually about ethics in ghost journalism. {nm} jjmarino Mar 04, 14:09

Not a big movie but the 1st Jem & The Holograms trailer was worse - 1.7M views - 2.2k Thumbs Up 10k Thumbs down. 80s kids don't like reboots {nm} drakkar Mar 04, 13:45

Except if they're as well done as 21JST. {nm} eallensbp Mar 04, 16:25
