The Republican meltdown and subsequent acting like "the woke" was the problem with the movie.

Horrible movie, replaced all the dry, subtle humor of the original with gross ass queef jokes and slapstick.

All that outrage over "woke" but everyone picked the wrong thing to be irritated by lol

Its actually a good and funny movie, and people wayyy overreacted about it. And I say this as someone who considers the original Ghostbusters one of my favorite movies and a top 10 for sure.

I could understand disliking it if you just arent a fan of modern-type comedies, but these people who acted like it was some evil feminist movie trying to take away the original get the fuck outta here lmao.

When Kristen Wiig calls Andy Garcia 'the mayor from Jaws' and he gets pissed off about it. Genuinely the only laugh the movie got out of me. I went into it thinking 'oh I'll give it a fair shake, it can't be that bad,' but sadly it was a genuine stinker.

And that wasn't even the worst movie I watched that day; that dishonor goes to Suicide Squad (I was really bored one day and decided to watch a grab-bag of mid-2010's blockbusters I'd skipped out on).

In terms of quality the reboot wasn't even that bad. Most of the hate it gets isn't even from people who watched it. Really it was more boring then bad. It should be forgotten the same way most females are forgotten.

You know the general rule of production x 2 for breaking even? It has a reported 144m budget and made 230m + 40m (domestic physical media). How is that turning a profit? It had to make 290m just to break even.

I can understand his point though. A trailer's job is to generate interest for the movie. If the trailer doesn't make the movie look interesting (in his eyes) then why go and see it?

But he like everyone else kind of got shoehorned into falling on one of two sides: If you liked or wanted to see the movie, you're a woke man hating feminist, if you didnt, you were an anti-female chauvinistic pig.

It was either one or the other and people became deaf to other reasons. Man it was ridiculous.

As much as I adore the original Ghostbusters otherwise, there's a good chance that it turned an entire generation of low-info American voters against the EPA thanks to Walter Peck.

I actually didn't think it was a bad film in a vacuum, I just don't think it was anywhere near as good as the "main" Ghostbusters films.

The thing it missed the most was a random montage scene of them doing regular Ghostbusting jobs. IIRC literally everything they did related to the main plot - it made them feel more like a team that was specifically up against Ronan than a team of Ghostbusters. It needed that couple of minutes of world building.
