Really does look like it's bet the farm on the novelty value of the gender swap. Aside from the cast being female, it looks like a lazy rehash of the original.
How terrible of you. Of course YOU would have a problem with females being put in the lead role. I think you just hate women and can't stand to see them portrayed as a strong, capable, lead.

If you think that's bad keep this in mind: trailer producers are basically PR alchemists. Their job is to take a turd and polish it until it looks like Gold....and if that upchuck-worthy trailer was the best they can do then think about what the rest of it is like.

Tony, I hate how almost all trailers use up all the best jokes. You see the trailer, you've seen the movie. Are Americans that stupid that they need to be lead like this? I guess they are. As for the female cast, they seem good enough. I like the actresses. I just wish they did not do a reboot. Come up with something new, even if you have to rip off some old Greek play... Come on now, fool me. Make me think this is not the same old story rehashed. Nope, formula sells... at least it used to. Wonder if it will sink in if this movie is a bomb? Bet it won't be though. Not a huge hit, but just good enough to keep producers making more of this tripe. Best part? I am not forced to go see it.

Bjack, not just the jokes, all the plot twists too. So dem dum ppl don't want refund when story is not as advertised hurr durr
Or some other bs logic. But anyway - yes, trailer looks terrible.

Not wrong. As we've now seen the best laughs and the plot to the movie. What's the point of going to see it?

To see the worst it has to offer? Because if that was the best... wow.

I new it was going to suck when it had "Ghostbusters" in the title. I mean, how far can you milk something that was good for the first half of the first movie?

If any movies were made for those with IQs over 120, most would fail. I think most movies are geared toward 90. Not too offensive to the average 105 people and not too difficult for the 80s out there. It's all OK. The masses need entertainment and I am not one to take that away. Complain about that a type of entertainment though? In a world with people that eat up this stuff, is sort of silly. Hate this movie if you want. So what if it is made. Does it kill you first born child? Will you grow a third nut because if it? That might be kind of cool, come to think of it...

Good call Jason. Good post. You already knew that, but I wanted to say so anyway.
