Not gunna lie... This is looking to be one of the lamest remakes ever.

This movie's going to bomb harder than Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Snooj
Awww, poor baby. First time seeing a movie from their youth rebooted. Must be rough. Get used to it.
lordmerchant
Who is this movie for? Original fans - no. Female audience (don't insult them) - no. WHO THE FUCK IS IT MADE FOR?
bulpii
sjw?
wheresthesalt
Did they do testing on this?
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
This reboot is the biggest feminist pile of filth I've seen from a movie in a long while. Can't believe they did this to Ghostbusters.
Textuality
I just find it kind of funny that for a "we're doing a feminist movie, yay!", they made the black character a stereotype...
bulpii
and hire a dumb bimbo guy... omg lol
inzane
I'm tired of being called sexist for pointing out this movie sucks. Fuck everyone one who does that.
morch
It's going to suck!

Unpopular vote here: I liked that trailer. There have been better fan cuts of it, but I'm super pumped for this movie.

I want to like it, but I know I'm going to hate it.

Like going to see Michael Bay's movies.

No, you want to like it with those but you hate yourself for watching it afterwards.

1st GB is one of my favorite films. Im fine if it's not a copy of it. Gambling like this is bold and I respect that, even if they fail at it
Snooj
I felt that way about Mad Max and I fucking loved it. So I've learned to make no judgements until afterwards. I love Kristen Wiig, so...
Dexilan
This was me and Tangled. Terrible trailers, but the movie itself was good. So now I try not to judge too much by the trailer.
buckturgidson
the usual imgur argument about undesirable pop culture is "don't pay attention to them", why does that go out the window for certain things?
IconicM
Because since when has Imgur actually ignored anything?
Matkingos
Because its a communal hatred of the same thing, which creates a sense of camaraderie. I.e a circle jerk
onefrostypanda
It's because people are passionate about shit and therefore will have a strong opinion about shit. Especially shit that hits close to home.
SamMan
Because lets hate on women because they make my little pee slightly less little but still won't touch it overrides all other rules.
wannabeblue
Yes that's it, that explains everything. Everyone go home this guy figured it out.

I don't understand this comment.
themadspeedster94
I don't get the hate. It's just nostalgia boners that didn't get sucked
Hyakurin9
The Ghostbusters Fandom will tear each other apart over a non-screen accurate gasket on a proton pack prop, they'll never be happy.

I'm still gonna see it. I ain't gonna pay for it though.

One way or another, you will still pay for it.

I check the comments on this trailer everyday. The battle between SJWs and Neckbeards is truely fantastic!
SamMan
Most of the SJW's are other neckbeards trolling so it's even funnier than you realise.
bulpii
the IMDB page for this movie is insane lol. same thing, a battle between the two
TimeAndMemeLordOfGallifrey
Geez can't these groups just date already
theinconvenienttruth
Well neckbeards wont fuck anything not 2d and SJWs would cry rape the second someone spoke to them... so it isn't happening.
JifLover
This movie shouldn't be released. They should just take their losses and save their careers.
AceOfNines
Movies like this aren't released; they escape
delpharseven
The money has been spent. The studio has to recover whatever they can. If there are no reviews before it opens, it's a stinker.
drunkcat
They didn't do it for Jem they won't do it for this.
danishjuggler21
Millions of easy-to-manipulate nostalgic millennials will FLOCK to see this.
AwesomeName
The thought of Sony executives sitting in a board room with their faces buried in their palms at this trainwreck is very amusing to me.
dietderpsy
You can tell none of them ever saw the originals they just understand that they own the brand.
OcassionalDanger
There is re-edit of the trailer that is pretty sweet. Makes it look WAAAAAAAAY better.
Wombatant
The problem with that image is that you assume they have any grasp of reality.
Arizoniac
I just wonder what made them think it was a good idea in the first place
NRubric
Statistics and flipcharts!
ImmortanFlow
Hollywood learns the wrong lesson from successes. They see a movie like fury road and think it did well just because it was a reboot.
WhimsicalCalamari
Easy money for a sequel, and capitalizing on an emergent feminist market to boot.
LassKibble
Here's what's gonna happen. All of this promotional material is going to make the movie seem so god awful that people are "gonna go to 1/2
LassKibble
"see the trainwreck", "I just want to laugh at how awful this movie will be" So you buy tickets. Execs are already jacking off hard over it.
notme222
Reboots / sequels are easy advertising. Both Murray and Akroyd voiced approval of a female cast. But nobody cares about scripts, apparently.
Domehammer
If they had voiced disapproval they would of probably been called sexist. It wasn't worth the risk to not voice approval.
notme222
And meanwhile Ernie Hudson thought it was a bad idea and was crucified as a sexist, so good luck getting more people to crrriticize.
Domehammer
Modern Society seems so much better but the bad parts have just shifted to other areas. Society just sucks you can't voice opinion safely.
thesquare1
I thought Trainwreck was a pretty good movie.

CandidGamera
Psst, execs don't give a shit about some dumb nerd rage on the internet - they have PR agencies to worry about those trivialities. What -->
MyFavouriteColourIsBlue
Yep. Everyone I've talked to irl about the movie thought it at least looked decent enough to watch. Downvotes on yt don't mean shit.
CandidGamera
<- they care about is the bottom line, and it's going to be a financial success because all you "snarky" morons will watch it ironically.
Rookofpawns
Oh no no, they're watching this, stiff dicks in hand, confidant as hell this is going to be a smash hit.
VoltageXL1
Even if it doesn't become a hit, it might still make money on the name alone. Let's hope it's a train wreck and they can stop with this bs
wannabeblue
THAT'S how you become an executive, dicks in hands all the way.
StatisticallyInsignificantCanadian
Literal boardroom circlejerk.
retunedspider287
That's how Jonah hill made wolf of Wallstreet a hit!

I've always imagined it more as

Saw the trailer got so excited untill I found out no Bill Murray...:(
bluehazedmoon
Serious note, THAT is the reason why I was mad after I saw the trailer.
Mad1221
I know! Wtf :(

the rumor is that the cameo is a couple of seconds and then he dies

He's going to have a small role, though?

PersonalityFire
I thought the trailer looked good. The effects look great. I hope it manages to poke fun at threatened internet children.
TheMightyWitcher
I thought the special effects looked terrible. Colouration was to bright and the green slime over Wiig looked awful too
bulpii
it looked like Scooby doo movie and Haunted Mansion movie together... did we see the same trailer? the ghosts are cartoony.
PersonalityFire
Did you not see the original Ghostbusters movies? jfc
bulpii
the problem is that the people in the original feel real. their situations feel real. this feels like stand up comedians doing a spoof
PersonalityFire
Original felt more real because so much of it was improvised, hah. Dunno, trailers can be a great disservice. We'll just have to see.
bulpii
their delivery was very serious sometimes which made the joke even funnier.no one was saying silly one liners, the only one goofing was Bill
MicahL
Well I guess I'm the only asshole who is excited for this movie.
madbydesign
You're not the only one.
BewareTheJabberwockie
Im not excited but Im still gonna see it because the women are funny and I love Ghost Busters, just wish they hadnt gone all gender swap.
IFuckingLoveGoldenRetrievers
Why? I think it will be handled differently. I cant wait.
Siegemaster
i'm looking forward to it, the trailer was funny and the characters seem entertaining. the props look good too.
yabakuboi
Hey, my husband and his friend who fucking quote the original movie all night when drunk are pretty pumped for it. So no, definitely not!
Aeneathor
No. There is another... ghostb-fan...
MatRocks1985
Me too. I genuinely don't get the all the hate. I guess people have nothing better to do than belittle whatever they can. Ah well!!
Kendo2710
I'm not exactly excited(Bring on Civil War, BVS & 10 Cloverfield Lane), but I am interested, I didn't hate everything in the trailer.
DocBrown88
I'm excited.The anon internet masses just like to bitch. Also, some hater went through and downvoted all comments in this thread.
joyousjes
There are dozens of us!! DOZENS! I am excited for it and I don't understand why so many people have their panties in a bunch.
theinconvenienttruth
Because it's ANOTHER shameless cash grab of a beloved film... look at how good robocop was. And that didn't have the gender politics issue.
robviously
It's because it's seen as a cash grab reboot. It may be just that in the eyes of the execs. But may be a passion project for the talent.
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
Exactly and it's not like this is somehow going to go back and destroy the originals they will still be timeless classics no matter what
ZombiesAreOkay
If those jokes are the ones that made the trailer, I'd hate to see the ones they didn't use
loriloveslore
To be honest, I liked the last joke with the possession.
SJSanity
Deadpool had some of the worst jokes in the trailer ("Did I leave the stove on?") That being said I still have no faith in Ghostbusters.
Lastluke
"That's gonna leave a mark!" = the laziest, most over-used line. I instantly hate anything I hear it in.
Schmedes
Didn't look too terrible to me. Original Ghostbusters was pretty corny and I remember hating the Bridesmaids trailer. I might watch it.
Nobody7713
Tbh I really didn't like the original Ghostbusters.
timteamtebow
what if they intentionally used shit jokes, knowing nothing could live up to the hype and also setting the bar lower for the critic review?
DandySpaceCowboy
Clever girl!
jubilantpoppyseed
Hype?
Dexilan
Self-awareness in a major entertainment corporation? I guess not out of the question, Ubisoft did just put Assassin's Creed to bed for now
NOTAlexJones
See, my problem is that they used those jokes in the movie at all.
ScaleScentedAnalDildo
It's a bold movie Cotton, let's see if it pays off.
Domehammer
You think people who make trailers aren't stupid and just want to spoil a movie... to attract viewers by showing them the movie.
UpToFourPlayers
I, for one, would appreciate it if they actually saved the good jokes for the movie itself instead of spoiling everything ahead of time.
Aerolfoz
Then again, trailer was ridiculously long... seems liek it covered everything, especially comparing to lenght/events in the other 2.
relicen
That's the reason I never watch more than 10-15 seconds of a trailer. They always show too much.
chaotikmethodz
EG. Deadpool...even though the movie itself had a lot of jokes not used in the trailers, I kind of wished they used less in the trailer.
littlegoblin
Like the first avengers movie
nflgeneric
I didn't think I'd like Bridesmaids, but I ended up loving it. Same director and lead, I think it'll be fine.
nosoupforoldmen
I'm from the future. It bombed.

Same with Spy. Same director & one of the actors, ads looked terrible & it was a nice funny little film.

The blatant, early 90s Har DE Har Har racism in the trailer was what turned me off
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
the Heat was an amazing movie Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig are awesome Melissa is like a modern female Chris Farley or Jon Belushi
MaSu10
Dont fucking compare her to Chris Farley. Are you insane, she's not even close to the talent Farley had
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
I have the utmost love and respect for Chris Farley I own all his movies and his snl collections and he is a legend and a treasure
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
But they share many similarities being loud overweight physical comedians who are polarizing and got a lot of needless hate in their careers
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
When both of them work hard and are good people with problems in their lives Chris with his vices and Melissa with her career missteps
antiflagdan
Wow, that's a highly unpopular opinion of Melissa. I've always thought she was a mediocre version of Chris. I can't stand her, myself.
SolomonHerculesAtlasZeusAchillesMercury
I think she gets too much shit she has done nothing to merit and tries really hard and puts up with the trashing really well
GandolphLundgren
It might be fine on its own merits; it's just a totally different comedic style from the original, which is a sad departure.
fyndir
I dunno, a lot of the same notes seemed to be present in the trailer, whether it's done as well is a different matter entirely.
GandolphLundgren
I disagree. I feel like the humor in the trailer is mostly sight-gag and slapstick. The originals had a much more subtle sense of humor.
fyndir
The originals were full of sight gags and slapstick? Look at things like Tully being chased to the restaurant, the library, or slimer.
theinconvenienttruth
Female comics are incapable of dry wit because they are not calm or smart So they have to go with what they know loud dumb and obnoxious
nflgeneric
Well, it should be somewhat different, they shouldn't just remake the same movie with a female cast.
GandolphLundgren
Sure, but I feel like this is well beyond "somewhat" - I feel like it's a different comedic ballpark entirely. Guess we'll see this summer.
CalvadosConfiture
Indeed, and at least it looks like its following continuity completely.
Mewmus
am I the ONLY person looking forward to this movie?
sirbartonslady
I'm looking forward to seeing how well it does. Whether or not I'll get a chance to go see it, remains to be seen, but I'm interested.
misterskeItaI
I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm not damning it yet. I think it's worth a chance?
Mewmus
of course its worth a chance, just because its women in the roles does not make any difference, I'm no feminazi but I LOVE ghostbusters
AgolfHiller
It's not about the cast while I do feel it's somewhat forced. It's about remaking an amazing movie and turning it into a slap-stick humor--
AgolfHiller
Comedy.
misterskeItaI
Yeah Ghostbusters is a HUGE chunk of childhood for me, if they "ruined" it, oh well I still have the originals and can just ignore it
misterskeItaI
just like I ignore the second Silent Hill movie
Mewmus
there was no second silent hill movie
AshyLawrence
Nope. I've been dying to see it since they announced it. I don't get the hate at all
falloutmonk
Because imgur interprets it as SKWs hijacking a beloved movie to further their agenda. It's very disappointing behavior on imgurs part
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
There's more then enough reasons from the trailer alone to be upset toward what they're doing to the Ghostbusters name.
falloutmonk
You realize that's an extremely tenuous position, right? Judging a movie with no information but 2 minutes out of 120?
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
If you were able to make a decision you want to go see it off the same information, I can make my own deductions to how the movie is shit.
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
Are you mad? It's because they basically rebooted a loved film from the past into a sexist/racist stereotyping pile of shit.
Mewmus
what exactly is racist about the new ghostbusters?
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
Have you seen the trailer? Half the jokes and accents are stereotypical. Which obviously was played on purpose for comedic value.
farmerthejohn
You seem mad.
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
Mad in the English meaning. As in insane or a lunatic.
falloutmonk
So, you've seen it then and can confirm critically that it's sexist and racist. I look forward to reading your paper on the matter.
BlaaahBlahBlaaahBlahBlaaah
Did you not read both of my comments? I'll assume that's the case.

Winston wasn't a scientist. In the film he served as the everyman that anyone watching could imagine themselves as.
Flyndaran
Winston wasn't a goofy ivory tower scientist. He was the normal one.
Eldibs
By the time the game took place, he had managed to get a degree.
kryptography
Well, a lot of it was cut, but originally he was a scientist AND a former marine.
MyFavouriteColourIsBlue
But what matters is what's shown onscreen. The actor was extremely disappointed with how much they cut Winston down in the original.

That would have looped around to Marty Stu racism nonsense.
