I know I’m a grown man now, but I feel seriously upset by the new ghostbuster movie traitor, I mean trailer.
Why? Were women the majority of your audience?
Are they really funny, or do they honestly suck at humor. Answer honestly.
How much of your merchendice was bought by men + boys?
What bout the bond between Father and Son?
This Movie will bomb. I love Ghostbusters and I even hope it does.
Here’s my video response to this horrible move.
Well.
You won’t get a green card with that attitude, pal.
Heath ledger man! Everyone said he would be awful as the joker! I love GB and I’m excited for the new movie! Have you seen The Heat or Spy? HILARIOUS! I’m just gonna keep an open mind and hope it’s a fun movie! Keep in mind there are a lot of people who hated GB2, I see their complaints but still love it!
Don’t like the new movie? Don’t watch it. No one is holding a gun to your head making you gush over everything with a no-ghost logo.
Pretty much this. I don’t think there was a single trailer that at first wasn’t going to have alot of backlash. This is as much a movie of our times as it is a ghostbusters movie. Todays comedies are like what we saw in the trailer, and people love it. I love it. It is easy to criticize but in the end many of us love it.
Spy looked horrible, but I ended up loving it. If you hate one or more of these actresses or are butthurt that they didn’t pass the torch in this movie nothing anyone says matters, but if you liked movies like bridesmaid, spy, the heat and love Ghostbusters I would recommend an open mind. A new generation will likely get behind this movie and that is good for the brand IMO.
Not the greatest first impression… but I’ll see what I can do in terms of answering your questions.
One of the main reasons why we’ve ended up with the four Ghostbusters being portrayed by women is that the Director, Paul Feig greatly enjoys working with them, and prefers working with women with comedic backgrounds rather than men.
They’re funny with a lot of today’s cinema-going audience. As always, comedy and humour are subjective, and while the comedy and humour in the reboot are quite different to what was used in 1984’s Ghostbusters, it’s pretty in line with other comedy movies of the 2000-2016 period. I’m not familiar enough with Jones’s, McKinnon’s or Wiig’s comedy and SNL careers (and with the exception of Wiig, who appeared in the How to Train Your Dragon movies, I’ve had no prior experience to work with for the other two). I’d seen trailers for a number of McCarthy’s films, and I found her to be abrasive, loud-mouthed and off-putting, and the brand of some of the jokes to range from vulgar, to outright disgusting.
But… so far, I’m actually liking what I’m seeing of McCarthy in the reboot, she seems far more subdued, and grounded than a number of her previous roles.
Too early to tell, and we may not know the full numbers. But if it helps give some insight, I’ll definitely be buying the LEGO set based on the reboot.
I’m not sure I understand the question. The bond between father and son will still exist after this movie has come out.
It’s got a tough job ahead of it, especially with the fans. It’s well reasoned that it could be a failure, but if there’s one thing that can always be a surprise, it’s the cinema-going public, they may make the film a flop, they might also make it a unexpected success.
Just keep in mind that wishing the film will fail could come back to bite you in the long run, it’ll depend on how much Sony would be willing to pump into more Ghostbusters-related merchandise (both for the reboot, and for the classic property) in the future.
Well, the cosplay calendars of myself that I sold several years ago were mostly bought by women. However, I’m expecting the DVC action figure line to be pretty popular with both genders.
Cool story bro.
But seriously, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. And also, go watch Ghostbusters 2.
Who let the troll in?
Welcome to GB fans. as a Casual viewer I see your options as this: Either Join the
GB 1 rocks and GB 2 sucks camp
or the Both films rock camp
or the only GB1 rocks camp
or the defend the reboot because its been too many years for us to critique it at all so we’ll just ‘hope’ camp
Which one are you?
You forgot the “I can’t seem to accept the fact that people are entitled to their own opinions, and only my opinion is the truth” camp… Otherwise known as the “My opinion is the only truth, all the others are only lying to themselves” camp…
If you wanna call it that then sure! that’s my camp!
Fanboy kitten loss! He misses his kitten! :love:
I saw the same trailer you did, I didn’t get upset about it not just because I’m being an adult about it, but because I didn’t see anything that made me want to rant and rave or get angry about like a lot of “fans” have been doing. Nor did I go on twitter and went after Leslie Jones with racial slurs and body shaming like some “fans” have reportedly done. I didn’t even care about the mistake everyone is pointing out because four scientist saving the world sounds a lot better than Three scientist and a black guy.
I’m willing to bet that the movie is for a wide movie audience and not just for Fans of Ghostbusters. It’s very rare for a movie to to be made for one particular group. I have no idea if these women are funny because I haven’t seen them in anything, though “the power of Patty compels you!” made me laugh. I don’t know anything about merchendice because there hasn’t been any released yet, but I’m telling you now that I will buy at least one figure from the movie and I will try out the video game they are making based off the movie.
What about the Bond between father and son? I doubt the bond is going to broken just because you take him to see a movie with women in title roles. The first movie I saw with my Dad was Alien (on vhs) . The Alien scared the shit out of me but I thought LT Ripley was awesome. If you feel and want this movie to bomb, then you can also say goodbye to the franchise as you know it. Any future Ghostbuster projects will no doubt be determined by the success or failure of this movie. You think if this movie bombs the people at Sony will invest money in another Ghostbusters movie? I seriously Doubt it.
