frick this...
OK. So...if I'm seeing that right...we've got three white scientists and a black person who knows nothing about any of this. Then a shite ton of ghosts show up and they have to deal with them?
Oh...the only change is that they're all women, and the SFX are "better."
Pass, Hollywood...

The blonde's character looks potentially funny, rest looks mindnumbing.

I predict this will be the biggest flop in the history of flops...in fact, flip flops will be now known as ghostbusters

Damn, I wanted to like this. The large black woman from SNL made that an impossibility. If she just ruined the trailer, I can't imagine what she'll do to the movie. No thanks.

I'm not gonna see it, but I don't think it'll be a flop. I know a few poor souls who have said they're excited about it

Some people were talking about how this won't affect the old movies, and could be it's own thing....
But the first frame is "30 Years Ago...."
I hope they are just talking in terms of the movie, and not in terms of that universe. Please.
Although Slimer is back, booooo, don't ruin Slimer. Why not Slimette?
And the theme track has already ruined my day.

I wanted to be at least OPEN to it, despite Ghostbusters being a pretty seminal movie for me growing up.
But screw that. They seem to, based on the trailer they released, taken nearly the exact same formula as the first movie, and just removed the dicks from the main characters. If they were going to reboot this and go in the direction of there being a female cast for some reason, why not make it entirely different? Instead, it looks to be exactly the same...
Hard pass.

Honestly? It looks kind of shitty even if there had not been a Ghostbusters from the 80's.
But considering there was, this looks like exactly what it is...an attempt to mine an old franchise with new effects while attempting to look edgy by altering the sex of the characters.
I'm not saying a sequel or even a full on reboot could not have worked...it's a cool universe. But this sure as shite isn't the way to have done it...

Exactly.

And this is exactly why everyone was upset, even if they didn't say it directly. It just seemed to be the wrong way to go, even if you wanted some kind of female cast (which, to me, is hypocritical, because we're supposed to be doing things in more diverse ways. All female =/= diverse.)

DUB STEP Ghostbusters theme! Its sooooooooo current. I wanted to like it also, big Kristen Wiig and Blonde SNL chick fan, but it looks really bad.

Yep!
And don't misunderstand...as the movie was playing I was leaning over to my wife saying, "Well...this is essentially the plot to Star Wars." I gave them a pass on that because they were setting up the universe again after what had been nearly 30 years of nothing (prequels notwithstanding.)
Ghostbusters had basically one good movie, and it looks to have been duplicated here...poorly. I'm less forgiving of that...as they could have done anything but clearly used the exact same formula minus penises.
The mileage of others may vary, but this is one I'd predict fans of the old movie are going to pass hard on, while younger movie goers may give it a shot and based on word of mouth it may do ok or tank badly.
