Really? How do you figure?

Its just not funny. And for a film that is claiming to not be tied to the original - why keep using things from it (the Ray Parker Jr. song, the "mass hysteria" comment).

We see Hemsworth taken over by the ghost, and what power do we see it give him - the ability to pop a wheelie. Amazing. Not driving up the wall or flying, but stunt riding.

It seems like these trailers are being cut with no real idea about the identity of the film - if it is a comedy, they really aren't putting selling it as such (the jokes aren't funny, at least IMO). If it is a dramatic film, it isn't doing thay, either.

If someone edited this trailer - but used the original cast instead of this one, the reaction would be the same. Just not funny.

did i miss a Capt. America reference?

If their intent was to make me laugh, the trailer failed miserably.

Certainly no tired and predictable jokes there.
On a side note, why are so many of the SJW trolls so concerned about what people think of this movie? It's pretty sad that they have no lives and nothing better to do than worry about what other pople think.

Yeah. What these idiots dont understand is that it's not that it's women in these parts. It's that 3 of the four women that they cast in a COMEDY are not funny.

Nor would he.

But, MAN, is Odin going to be PISSED!!!!


Nope, just a slip - wrong Chris from Marvel.

There's too many Chrises in the MCU, B5Erik is confused.

Yeah, it's early, I'm tired, not feeling well, going senile...


(And after watching that trailer I think I lost about 45 points off my IQ...)

Oh fer Chrisakes...

If I had some kind of agenda I woulda been sucking the dick of the first trailer. Good luck finding a post where I defend it.

The first trailer was not only inept regardless of the content, the content itself was substandard. The fact that Sony rushed a revised trailer out that excised the disastrous Exorcist footage really says it all. It was even more troubling when the concert footage that replaced it was only slightly better.

That concert footage holdover is really the only part of this new trailer that misses the mark. This one actually has effective comedy moments in it. Wiig holding onto the table warning people to leave NYC. The Michael McDonald joke. McCarthy saying its beautiful as Wiig gets drenched in slime. It's like a night-and-day difference. Of course, writing "even worse!" is a lot easier and far less controversial.

Well done!

And funnier & more clever than anything in that trailer!

I'm sorry, but none of that stuff was even remotely funny. It was painfully inept and amateurish in terms of writing, and the, "Acting," was worthy of a bad TV sitcom.

If you really believe that this is a halfway decent trailer then we'll just agree to disagree. I honestly think it's garbage. UNfunny, not the least bit clever, and poorly edited (not to mention the, "Jokes," been poorly written and delivered).

And that would be my take on it even if there were no previous Ghostbusters movies.

MovieBob has some stuff to say about the "Angry Video Game Nerd" video I posted earlier.

There's a LOT, but this is the gist.

To be clear: I don't think all the people here are paranoid sexist assholes who think something is being stolen from them, although a tiny handful have very specifically said things that mirror that.

It's when the focus goes from "this looks bad" to "women, especially scientists, can't carry backpacks" that it's more difficult to separate the legitimate complaints (of which there are many) from the sexist bullshit.

Even on the cesspool that is the Ghostbusters Reddit the consensus seems to be that this is a much stronger trailer.

I don't see it. It looks awful.

I'll be honest, where this whole project went off the rails for me was Melissa McCarthy. I was out the moment her name was mentioned. I just really loath her. If it had been Aykroyd, Murray, Hudson all returning and McCarthy was cast in the Jenine role I would have still been out. Seeing her thrust her crotch after shooting at a ghost is just pathetic. It's cringe worthy in that way where I actually feel embarrassed for her when I look at it.

McCarthy is just recycling the kind of middle class, blue collar comedy that folks like Rosanne Barr and Brett Butler capitalized on in the '90s. I don't like blue collar comedy and I don't like her schtick.

I'm not sexist, I'm just extremely prejudiced against this one person. I can't stand her or anything she's made. I did like Inside Out however. Exception to the rule I guess.

If you're talking about Sadness, that was actually Phyllis Smith from The Office.

looks bad.... and i dont know what it is.


i feel like its just the same thing or a parody of the other one.

Oh really?! Well there you go.

See, no one said they can't. It's just harder for someone at 5'3", 120 pounds to lug around heavy equipment than someone at 5'10" 190 pounds to do the same thing.

Someone bigger and stronger than me (5'7", 190) is going to be able to do it better and easier than me, be it a man or a woman. That's just a fact, and I'm not the least bit insulted by that. I know that when I have had packs on my back that weighed 30 or more pounds I got winded and sore after 5 or 6 minutes. Would that happen to a person who is 5'11", 200? Not nearly as much. And, again, I would not be the least bit insulted if someone suggested to me that a bigger, stronger person do the heavy lifting instead of me.

The bottom line to most people's irritiation with this movie is simply this - whole gender switch was a gimmick and an excuse to get a movie made that SHOULD have been made with the original cast years earlier. The studio dragged it's feet on a sequel with the original cast, but then they instantly greenlit a gender-bending sequel,l even without a passable script.

That's largely what got people pissed about the gimmicky gender swap. Reitman and Akroyd worked for over a decade to get a sequel made, only to have the studio drag it's feet because they said they didn't like the scripts, and then as soon as someone says, "Why not a remake with women Ghostbusters instead of men," the project gets greenlit - without a good script!

And as we've seen from the trailers, the script is loaded with cliches and incredibly stupid stuff, so it can't be any better than (and probably not nearly as good as) the scripts that Akroyd and Reitman were working on.

There is nothing in either trailer that makes this movie look funny or clever. I have zero doubt that this is going to be a shit movie that only got made because someone thought that the gimmick was more important than a good script.

It looks fucking horrible. People are delusional if they believe this is better. It's nothing to do with the women either. If the same type of jokes were being done with men it would be equally awful. This looks to be appealing to the lowest of low brow humor and I don't see any redeeming qualities. McCarthy and Jones in particular solidly the fact that I'll never watch this.

You just can't give up on this one can you?

I can't see it being worse of a film than Ghostbusters 2 at this point, so does any of that stuff even matter?

It's a little more complicated than just the studio dragging their feet.

And stop with the back pack shit already.

It's my fault. I brought it up. Didn't think anyone would still try to argue it, though.

No, I just want to make my point clear when someone else misrepresents it to mean something that I didn't imply.

Bigger, stronger people can carry heavy stuff more easily than smaller, weaker people. Why do some people have a problem with that? It's a fact. Get over it and let it go.

I disagree. While Ghostbusters 2 wasn't nearly as laugh out loud funny as the original it was still fun. I enjoy G2 and seeing those characters in a new situation. I love those characters. The characters we're seeing in this one are abrasive and unfunny. They're unlikeable.

I would have much rather seen a G3 than this garbage, even if G3 were no better than G2. At least we'd have good characters that make you feel good while watching them. And maybe, just maybe, Akroyd and Reitman could have come up with a better script this time out. Now we'll never know since the studio refused to make G3. The fact that they instantaneously greenlit this movie based solely on the concept of a gender swap just adds insult to injury.

Much better trailer but the only place to go after the last trailer, was up.

The selfie stick thing was pretty funny.
