What was he thinking? He could have said "Despite how bad you think the trailer is, the movie is actually great so please watch it." Instead, he went all arrogant and go "Watch the movie as it's the greatest movie ever and people not watching it are sexists and Trump supporters!" Way to offend the customers and moviegoers.

I honestly completely forgot about this movie. It seriously looks like a parody movie, not a remake. Not that Ghostbusters even needed a remake in the first place.

I for one am more angry at the fact that once *again* a Chinese-Backdrop is used to denote "lower-class, downtown, exotic, bizzare-outsider" without an *actual single speaking NON villainous Asian* in the leading cast.
For a film that trumpets it's "progressive" representation, ghostbusters is *not one iota* better than "breakfast at tiffany's" in its backwards social views.

To be fair, a LOT of 80s & 90s classics were as good, if not perfect, as they were when they first came out. Be it Total Recall, Robocop, The Hitcher or Point Break.

The reactions from the production team and studio are already quite telling who this movie is actually targeted at, and it's not the fans of the franchise, that much is quite clear.
I know nothing of these ladies, but from what I can see in these trailers, their acting feels forced, to the point where it almost looks like they don't even want to be there, and are solely there to enforce the notion of "whatever a man can do, women can do, too, if not better". And the token black girl is the best example of a racist stereotype one can think of, yet the SJWs embrace her, probably because she's a woman. And then there's the retarded receptionist. In the original movies, Janine was a capable woman, who stood on her own two feet, didn't take any BS from anyone, and was clearly not "just a woman", or even there to give the male audience a hard-on. This new guy, however, is apparently incompetent on all levels, and seems to be merely there to make the female viewers wet their collective panties. I find it ironic how the original franchise got a lot of things right in terms of everything feminists see wrong with society today, yet they still felt the need to turn everything upside-down and effectively make things worse. And then they wonder why the long-time fans feel insulted and betrayed. Lastly, I like how the 30-year-old special effects of the original movies still hold up quite well to the CGI in this movie, though that may (partially) be because said CGI isn't exactly all that impressive. I wish Hollywood would remake movies that actually need to be remade, rather than reinvent the wheel each and every time. Changing a winning formula is hardly ever a good thing. And yet, I expect this movie to be moderately successful, if only because of the people that are skeptic, yet still end up watching it.

Might be late to the topic, but as far as I am concerned/researched into it. This movie is for feminist empowerment of women, So if you hate or criticize on it, you're called a misogynist. Sony has been caught deleting legit comments of criticism but leaving random sexist remarks to bank on the backlash as Sexist.
Its appalling, I wont be going to see it for multiple reasons. If they had dropped the whole female empowerment and made a decent movie (and better CGI lol, that looks atrocious) that didnt touch social justice, might of been worth seeing. They should of just made a Charlies Angels 4.

This is the literal embodiment of how out of tune they are with Ghostbusters itself, just give me the remix from the trailer which is the only good thing about this movie so far.
