500,000 dislikes. And of course, this article says its because of misogyny.

quote:

There is a lot of hatred directed towards the new trailer, primarily because it stars four women (though the haters would have you believe misogyny is not the real driving force behind their invective) and seemingly not at all connected to its quality. Quickly the misogyny began to overwhelm the comments under the Ghostbusters trailer and Sony Pictures was forced to delete many offensive remarks, though it doesn’t take long even now to find comments like, “When are people going to learn that women aren’t funny?“ and “GhostBusters - Fat Dyke Edition”.

There has been a lot of misogyny around this movie from posters on here from the day it was announced. That said, the trailer is pretty bad

Wrong. If you are going to make a movie, make a movie. Don't bring me some piece of crap pushing a politically correct agenda and expect me to hand over my money.

No I am not. I want people making the movies to bring me the best possible story. We have seen Star Wars do this and now Ghostbusters. I just want the best possible movie. If that means all women then great, but the all women thing here is clearly a gimmick.

I'm sure a small portion is actually misogynistic, but the majority of the dislike stems from the principal of the whole thing.

Steel Magnolias, A league of their own, Thelma and Louise. These are examples of women dominated casts for the right reasons. Ghostbusters is an example of a women cast for the wrong reasons. This movie should have been canned as soon as Bill Murray said no.

naw

adding female characters wouldn't lead to a mass uprising

utilizing an all female cast? that's promoting values and THAT led to a major reaction

Just gave the trailer a thumbs up because I'm not a member of the He-Man Woman Haters Club

All publicity is good publicity. It won't make Star Wars money but this movie will be a minor hit.

You are proving his point, which is that people are rooting for this to fail as hard as they are because of the female cast.
