Leslie Jones, the SJW defense of the movie, and it being a remake are what really soured me on it. I don't care about the all female cast, and I really like the Fieg/McCarthy duo (people have been talking Bridemaids and Spy, which were really good, but The Heat was equally hilarious).

If you told me that Fieg was making a GB sequel with McCarthy and Wigg, and I knew nothing else about the movie, I would have been interested. But all signs point to this being an unoriginal shitshow, and people screaming "SEXISM!!11" at that opinion make me want to avoid it even more.

I watched Fantastic Four to witness the shitshow, but Jones is so bad that I don't know that I will ever watch it.

Do you have to sign a punishable-by-death non disclosure agreement?

It's tragic really.

It's been proven lately that you can play to the nostalgia feels and put out a very good reboot/sequel.

Just based off the trailers this movie will in no way resemble the look and feel of the original and on top of that we had the SJW angle shoved down our throats.

Somebody is getting canned over this one.

Wow.

He ripped it a new a-hole. That review makes me want to actually see it, but I don't want to pay.

That review may need its own thread.
