Exactly. There is nothing less funny then someone trying to be funny on screen... and failing at it.

Kate McKinnon did fine. Her humor wasnt terrible. Kristin Wiig was more subtle. Those two were probably the only ones I remotely liked in it. Hemsworth made me laugh but it was ridiculous how dumb they wrote him to be. But the writing for all of the characters was what made it obvious they were trying to be too funny.
Melissa McCarthy is a prime example of trying too hard to be funny and failing. I dont find her funny and have only ever liked one movie with her in it(St. Vincent).
Leslie Jones isn't funny. I don't find the over the top loud black woman gag funny.
You can NOT recreate the magic that Murray, Ramis, Aykroyd, and Reitman had when they all worked with each other.

I am predicting a ghost Egan.
Maybe antagonist turned protagonist by the end.

I watched it last night and said the exact same thing. The over-acting by the actresses took away from every scene.I thought it had some funny moments (Kevin was hilarious), but there was not a single great moment.
Another thought I had was that it felt that no one loved the project. They had a goal of making the movie just for the sake of making it.

Wiig and McKinnon didnt over act as much as Jones and McCarthy. They had moments where they were written or directed that way, but their acting wasnt terrible. Hemsworth was funny in it, but I think that says more about his acting than the writing or directing. Hemsworth is genuinely a funny guy.
The only moments I really enjoyed were the opening scene when it cuts to the theme song and when Holtzman goes nuts on the ghosts during the battle near the end. I HATED how a lot of it was just them destroying ghosts rather than trapping them.
In the first 2 movies, yeah you dont see a lot of actual trapping. You see onionhead get trapped. Then you see them handling the trap in the montage. In Ghostbusters 2 you see Scoleri brothers getting trapped, jogging ghost, and the crystal store they use the tripod traps. In 2016 you only see one use of the trap and that's it.

They pushed it to just make it. Nobody cared about the franchise or what had been previously done. Just doing their own version with women instead and making sure it was known that its all women instead of men.
