That's a lot of words to say u mad bro.
 
I found some CWCesque lolz in the comments of the washington post article titled "People hate the ‘Ghostbusters’ trailer, and yes, it’s because it stars women"

The director's name is Paul Feig. No wonder this chick can't get anywhere with her work. Some poor person named Peter Feig's probably wondering why a load of horrible fanfiction got sent to him. :story:
 
The way people talk you'd think this was going to be the next Pixels. Am I really the only person who didn't think it was that bad? I mean, it wasn't exceptionally good, a couple of jokes fell flat, but I don't think this is enough for me to say that the movie is going to suck for certain.

I just think it was a bad trailer. Doesn't necessarily mean the movie is going to be bad, just that whoever cut the trailer did a bad job.

The CGI isn't great though.

Can you elaborate on this? Because so far I haven't seen anyone say specifically what's wrong with the CGI. I think they could've toned down on the glowing dress for the first ghost they showed, but for most of the others they seemed like pretty good effects to me, and I thought the stilt walker ghost was really intersting. This isn't even all CGI either, apparently they're using live actors too.

Everything's a bit too neon for my tastes. I think if they muted the colors a bit, it would help out a lot. That level of neon kind ruins the immersion fact for me.

That's just my own personal opinion though. I can't really speak for anyone else.

I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid it if it comes out and gets raves on Rotten Tomatoes and otherwise looks good.

It just doesn't look that great, so far. Not Adam Sandler level of horrible, just who gives a shit.

It reminds me more of Star Trek Into Darkness. It will be technically competent and probably not completely awful, but otherwise an unnecessary attempt at rehashing an 80's movie scene-by-scene. Meh. Considering even the sequel that had the original cast fell flat, I'm of the view this is one movie best left as a one-off.

With me, it's not so much how fake it looks (they're ghosts, that's kinda expected). But just how it's executed- The animation looks off, the glow is too bright and the rendering and composting makes it look like it came from a movie a few decades too late.
 
I wonder if it'll be comparable to the Q5 executive meddling on the Real Ghostbusters' later seasons. Already I can see stupid assumptions about what the audience really wants to see, downgraded humour and slight racism from the trailer, but we'll have to see when the movie actually comes out.

Also, how many film reboots have received critical success in recent years? I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I suppose the "Waaah baby-men no like becuz it has wymyn" crowd conveniently ignore the fact that Sony's actually deleting critical comments by female users in order to make it look like only men are complaining?

Calling it, this'll be Hollywood's answer to Gen-Zed.

That really cries out that they have absolutely nothing going for them but SJW bullshit. Did they realize they had a stinker on their hands and look for some cynical marketing ploy in a desperate attempt to get a decent opening weekend?

Preemptively screaming at the audience that they're misogynists literally raping women by not liking the trailer is pretty pathetic.
