Dumb feminist trash that completely screws the franchise.

> AH DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A BLACK THING OR A WOMAN THING BUT I'M STILL MAD AS HELL!

yes let's completely take all attention away from a funny and original concept to focus on racial and women's issues, because that's what masses of dumb people want to pay money to sit down and watch in a theater!
>>
It's gonna be a blockbuster but stormweenies on this board will continue to bicker about it because the women make up the leading roles.

If people like it /pol/tards will just argue that it only had success because 'le normie' people have poor taste.

>It's gonna be a blockbuster

With WHO?

I can't imagine who would want to see it. It's got a terrible reputation now. The trailers' "jokes" simply weren't funny. Furthermore, the TYPE of humour is very different from that of the original ghostbusters, so the original fans won't want to see it either. Imagine doing a remake of Dr. Strangelove but making it a slapstick with fart jokes. It's a total betrayal of the spirit of the original. No one will want to see that or reward Hollywood for such a desecration.

So it's neither funny on its own terms nor is it faithful to the spirit of the original. It's a generic goofball comedy script with none of the wry, deadpan wit, and is overlaid with the thinnest veneer of ghostbusters imagery. It's an indictment of the creative bankruptcy of modern Hollywood. It'll crash and burn miserably.

All of my thoughts about this can be summed in one word: ech.

Looks like ass, the trailer shows nothing that would make any old school ghostbusters fan get excited. Worst of all all the criticism is getting brushed aside as muhsorgeynee no matter how constructive the criticism is, and shit like that is not helping to get me interested of this movie.

Update. The review embargo has now been pushed back to the day of release.

https://m.reddit.com/r/ghostbusters/comments/4rj8kf/midnights_edge_just_got_word_that_the_review/

>We have recently learned that the review embargo got extended from Monday morning to Monday evening to when the movie opens. I have reason to believe this is because many reviews from established [film critics]... are mixed to negative, so they want to keep a lid on it. Only select fans who they know will say positive stuff are allowed to speak early.

The movie is doomed. The Howard the Duck of our times.

There are 4 possible outcomes:
>Bad/mediocre movie and it bombs
Female cast are blamed, no movies with female casts that are reboots are given the light of day again (The 'Sucker Punch' outcome, as it for comparison killed off female drive comic based movies)
>Bad/medicore movie but does well at box office
Female audience perceived to have low standards, more shlock like it to be made with no effort, eventually resulting in backlash from SJ crowd saying they don't care enough to give females good movies (Fifty shades of Grey outcome)
>Good movie but bombs
Female audience isn't there/not interested in these kinds of movies, even less movies appealing to 'powerful' women come out
>Good movie and does well at box office
This outcome does not exist, but if it DOES somehow happen it will sadly result in more reboots like it.

>>
Watched trailer

Watched commercials

It just doesn't look funny. The characters just seem like angry uninteresting people. It not a black/white or male/female thing.

It just looks bad.

When political correctness and "breaking the mold" are the focus above talent, synergy, and execution then the product will suffer.

It is shaping up to be the poster child for forced political correctness. Emphasizing gender and race over ability and aptitude to do the job equals poor performers and performance.

How about just going back to getting the best people to do the job. That truly is the most politically correct way because there is no gender or race in the consideration, only the best chance of success.

I'm starting to think they are trying to shove inadequacy is adequate on us.

Uninteresting unattractive unqualified females doing a job poorly should be acceptable. You don't need to be strong or talented. You just need to be someone other than a white male and you will be deemed competent.

There is no failure if you are not a white male. Just being anything other than a white male means that your will always be successful. Anyone who says otherwise is racist and/or sexist.

I think it more likely that Sony is in the shit pile because they're strapped for cash and had huge scandals after their emails got leaked, which led to outrage that women actors on their bankroll were getting paid significantly less than male actors.

So they dragged an IP they owned out of the closet and stuffed a bunch of B-tier female celebrities into it, paid Hemsworth his Thor money to be estrogen bait, and are now using the movie as a cheap cash-grab while trying to convince everyone on the internet that really they're a tolerant, inclusive company that you should totally support guys and give money too.

Subtitles work fine. The thing that sets the US movie industry apart is not the english language, but rather the fact that we have an entire industry built around the production of films. Multi-billion dollar corporations, guilds for directors, make up artists, writers, actors, move crews. Technology companies whose entire existence revolves around computer generated imagery. Research labs that experiment with ways create more believable effects.

No other country has developed this sort of industry. It goes back to the entire genesis of the medium. In Europe, Film was considered an art project, done by small independent producers, with maybe some government funding. In the US, it was developed as a mass market service industry designed to make money.

By the time other countries had figured it out, the US Movie industry had become so dominant everyone else got sucked into orbit. All the talent wants to go to Hollywood and make money.

Agree.

All female is more about some, likely stupid, message than it is about making a decent movie; however, we're at a strange place in history where aiming for a decent movie is too risky for major studios, so powerful (retarded popular hashtag) messages are better than nothing.
