Ghostbusters Reboot

I'm not bitter, but I can't help but feel what the underlying message of this film is, and this trailer seems to compound that.

I'm just sick of this whole women are equal to men, but that's not actually what we mean, we are in fact better rhetoric and everything that goes with that. Especially from a director who talks about equality so much.
 
Better cut than the last trailer but still "meh". And they even showed the big enemy of the movie during the trailer. It also seems to confirm some of the things from the leaked scripts like the vortex in the ground, so looks like the movie might well play out in those 2 vids i posted.

I won't be seeing it. The original Ghostbusters is a classic from my childhood and I don't want to spoil the memory.

Ha I see the new trailer is over 18,000 dislikes and it's been out less than a day :)

In some way i think it's even more damaging than the first one, it shows that the film is basically reusing the same plot as the original. new company starting up, ghosts on the rise, people being possessed with it all kicking off at a skyscraper and summoning staypuff marshmallowman except this time they made him look like the ghost from their logo?!?

That's what I feel too.

If the film did it's own thing and distanced itself from the original, then I probably wouldn't care as much. But the trailer just makes it look like a badly done rehash of the original film.
 
As I mentioned on YouTube, it doesn't look thaaaat bad.... But it is amusing the black lady claims in the trailer that not crowd surfing her was sexist immediately after another lady crowd surfs :D
 
I saw the trailer just before X-Men at the local Imax earlier and the visuals for it were probably some of the best 3D I'd seen, and I thought got the feel and vibe of the original Ghostbusters city and ghosts just about spot on.

I'm going to reserve judgement on the film itself until I've actually seen it, I've watched too many films were the clips from the trailer made the cast look great but in the film it didn't work, and other trailers where the story/cast in the trailer looked like it'd be rubbish but the film was ok.

You mean New York?
 
Yippee.


^that's about as excited as I can get about this film. No doubt I'll be dragged kicking and screaming to the cinema to see it as my wife is a huge Melissa Mccarthy fan.
 
Is it wrong to say the black woman nearly sounds like a man? Throwing in a selfie stick moment really ruins such things in films today.
 

Oh the hilarity. :rolleyes:

So let me see this is nothing to do with the original movies but lets look at all the references.

Original trailer referencing the events of the original movie. (probably the biggest wtf point of the lot as this is supposedly set in a different universe).
Firehouse shown in first trailer.
Same logo with a chrome edge to it.
Slimer.
Original cast in cameos though not as their previous characters.
Stay Puft Balloon.
Ectomobile is a Hearse.

And this is only from trailers, bound to be a lot more in the actual movie, so in reality its just trying to pander to the fans by referencing the originals in different ways. =/
 
Why are the women acting like this? Nearly all jumps on the sexist bandwagon yet watching them act like immature men, is that not very demeaning of women?

Amusingly sad the deflated Stay Puft.
