Just to expand on the snark, which I admit isn't helpful...

I think the problems with GHST3's production were pretty well known, and subsequent leaks like the plot summary obviously haven't helped build expectations for a good movie. So yeah, expectations for GHST3 are already low, but I also don't see the video adding anything new to the discussion.

It has also been mentioned a couple of times that other movies had a massive negative reception before opening - franchise reboots, generally bad movies, etc - and none of them have received as much disapproval as GHST3. I don't think "this is 20 times more disappointing than FANT4" is a satisfying explanation because really, what's going to be 20x worse than FANT4? (or PIXEL or TERM5 or DIEH5 or whatever other bad movie you want to substitute)

So that's why I feel this discussion is going in circles.

Mainstream moviegoing audience =! Twitter trolls. UConnHusky May 19, 23:53

I've hated it since I saw that first set pic. The uniforms make them look like janitors. Nothing I've seen since has changed my mind. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 20, 01:26

Watch Midnight's Edge videos on youtube... if even half of what they reported is true then it's going to be horrible! Plus Baron_Darcon May 20, 03:55

Thanks for the heads up Baron. Those videos offer a more plausible explanation than the tired old 'sexism' meme. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 20, 04:28

Here's the 3 analysis of GGB. They have screenshots in the video showing the emails, and leaks so you can read for yourself what Baron_Darcon May 20, 05:10
