'Ghostbusters' - 2016

[Connor Harrison]

What do we all think of this reboot?

A new trailer has hit today and confirmed it's pretty much recycling everything about the original but in a far more disrespectful way than I could have hoped.

Thoughts?

This movie looks terrible judging by the trailers we've seen. The "jokes" are awful, the characters seem bland and/or stereotypical, and the effects look 25 years old. <_<

I sure won't go see it.

You know, I am pretty in the dark about movies. Here is a .gif that accurately describes how I feel about hearing there is going to be a reboot of this series.

Chris Hemsworth = Hit.

Who cares about the rest of it.

 

[Connor Harrison]

And it's not even a brave reboot - it's one that's taking everything from the original, even using the ORIGINAL theme here which I think is a desperate attempt to use nostalgia to lure us in.

We have a huge white monster wrecking the city like Stay Puft, from the original.

We have the Ecto-1 car, from the original.

We have Slimer, like the original.

We have 3 white and 1 black Ghostbusters, like the original.

We have a mayor being warned that the city is going to be destroyed, like the original.

We have human possession, like the original.


...I mean...ugh. Dumb jokes, OTT CGI with zero practical effects that I can see.

Such a shame it's come to this.


[member="Coci Heavenshield"] - C'mon! If anything, these current films with Chris Hemsworth prove he can't act or be convincing in ANYTHING away from Thor and the Avengers films now. Really. C'mon. Let him go.

Silence, you

Anyways, I know I won't go see it.

I don't want to see the Ghostbuster franchise killed, revived, and then bludgeoned to death again.

 

[Coci Heavenshield]

Who's worry bout his acting?

haha..

Wait... reboot?

HARD REBOOT?

I deny its existence. I would have been comfortable if it was like, a spin-off, but that is unacceptable. I watched the original since I was born back and forth with Back to the Future for the first five years of my life.

This isn't even creative! All they are doing is attempting to be politically "correct" by substituting the original male team with females, and that above all is sickening not because they are trying to show more leading women in movies (admirable), but they've done it in such a shitty and unoriginal manner. I'm getting sick and tired of rebooted movies across the board, and this draws a very hard line for me.

This is the epitome of laziness.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Voracitos and Vornskr should team up and shove this abominable movie into the Asylum of Gluttony for all eternity, and pray it never arise ever again.

poodooty

Gesundheit.

[member="Fatty"] I'm 99% sure the events of the original films haven't taken place, so it's pretty much a "brand new" story and universe.

BUT the cameos....do you know about the cameos? Cameos of nearly ALL the original main cast NOT in their old roles. They are in cameo roles like "Receptionist" and "Taxi Driver".

It's insulting.

Hoping for cast chemistry. But this could just be kid flick in the making.

 

[Allyson Locke]

10/10 will not see. No Support much dislike would rather watch rebecca black on repeat.

That is salt in the wound.

[member="Darth Vornskr"] yes. It deserve to be reserved to the lowest pit of his stomach, and then converted into a turd. A super turd.

Reminds me of TFA.
