Ghostbusters Reboot

Music is nice and updated and the ghosts look solid.

All they have is better technology.

So, exactly what was wrong with that trailer again?

(03-03-2016, 10:09 PM)RoyleRedlegs Wrote: Bad acting.
Forced jokes.
No chemistry.
It looks like Scooby Doo Monsters Unleashed.
It wasn't funny.
Trying too hard to make the characters female versions of the originals instead of new characters.

But I will say this.  From my own personal experience it is hard to judge a movie by the trailer.  Most people just see what they want to se.  If they are excited about the movie they like the trailer.  If they are against it then they hate the trailer.

for example this trailer may be total trash, but I don't know how you could claim there is "no chemistry" between the actors based on a 60 second clip.

I am looking for another link that will play for me.

You have one funny actress (Wiig) and a bunch of others shoehorned into other roles. There's no chemistry or connection with them.

I put the over/under on Melissa McCarthy falling down and it's supposed to be funny because she's fat moments at an even 10 right now.

I didn't like the scene in the library (felt like plagiarism instead of an homage) and I didn't like the new weapons, but I'm cautiously optimistic this will be a decent movie, possibly better than GB2.

Bad trailer. The beginning is awkward (makes it look like a sequel at first and doesn't draw you in). The jokes we saw seemed forced. There was no chemistry.

This is a fan recut. It's much better

I'd see this movie.

I never really thought there was any way they could even come close to the original.  Some hubris involved with even thinking they could.  The approach now is bury the audience in flash and maybe they won't miss what made the original so good.

And Bill Murray ain't walking in the door and whoever wrote it will never be Harold Ramis or Dan Aykroyd.  They were kinda doomed before they started.
