I can't fathom how anyone unironically would say Ghostbusters 2 is worse than the shitfest that the new ghostbusters movie is, either you're insane or drank too much of the kool-aid, or were born way past the time it was relevant.

The new ghostbusters has no redeeming qualities, its an awful movie all around, and people like to deflect on how bad it is by saying "hurr you probably don't like it because it has wymin in it!"

Honestly I think you're leaning in way too hard on it. As a guy who has no emotional connection to the original films (didn't even see the original until the event 25th anniversary when they re released it in theaters), I thought the all girl Ghostbusters was just an average comedy. It had a few funny parts and the story was all right, nothing great but nothing horrifically awful.

What I thought it had in common with the first is that the funniest parts don't come from the writing or the story but from the comedians being themselves. Bill Murray isn't funny as Peter Venkman...he's funny as Bill Murray. Same goes for McCarthy and McKinnon.
