Will there ever be a day when people stop falling for Fake Corporate Wokeness as a sales tactic for lovely products?

While I think Sony was trying to use workeness as a marketing strategy, I think a lot of people on twitter were just looking for something to be angry about and show off how woke they are.

I think people also ignored the fact James Rolfe has a lot of ghostbusters content on his site, and his fans might be expecting him to review the movie. He basically was informing his fans to not expect one.

I do hate the reactionaries that did glom onto it to attack feminism because the movie was genuinely bad and had no shot of being a success anyway because even if it was sorta good it was a reboot of one of the greatest comedies ever. It had no shot.

Same thing happened with Last Jedi. Mouthbreathing chuds hated it for whatever reason but it wasn't good so when you said "huh this sucks" it was seen as being on their side.

i know ghostbusters 2016 doesnt need anymore internet commentary, but what i always loved about the first two ghostbusters is how oddly serious they were. dan aykroyd was insane and took the material seriously and the jokes accompanied serious scenes. sure the keymaster, gatekeeper, vigo, marshmallow man, zuul are goofy as hell but they are played straight. gb 2016 was attempting to do nonstop jokes and ad libs and it was tiring. the writing and direction were terrible. thanks for reading what has already been said a thousand times

I do think Ghostbusters 2016 is one of the better remakes I've seen. That's hardly saying much, though.

lol what

MAYBE if it wasn't a remake of Ghostbusters, but even then this is difficult to parse... it wasn't even a good movie on it's own merits

If you want to see a sweet remake/reimagining of an IP the 2020 Invisible Man is really good

the original ghostbusters is a straightforward movie about a bunch of knuckleheads who get fired, start a business, get mixed up in this giant end of days situation, and have to rise to the call and become heroes. it happens to have jokes and physical comedy, but it's well written and directed movie with character journeys first and foremost. you could easily make it as a serious movie without changing any plot elements or rewriting it (aside from jokes).

Pretty much all the good remakes are re-imaginings. Taking the original premise or idea and using that as a launching off point for a totally different movie like The Fly. Or in the case of the Thing a more accurate adaption of the source material.

I feel like that one looks even worst because the whole thing seems to want to treat ghostbusters with reverence and respect. How about let’s just stop remaking ghostbusters. It’s not even that good of a good property.

Yes, the ghostbusters are cops inflicting violence on peaceful ghosts who want nothing more than to eat 25 hot dogs at once and weren't harming anyone.

it'd be interesting to see the real hollywood accounting books to check if the soft-seaboot trend was sparked by the declining rate of profit and a desire to chase old highs

Kate Mackinon queefed on a ghost, then Melisss McCarthy and Kristen Wiig riffed (badly) for an hour, then Leslie Jones was a black token character just like original Winston, then they had a ghost dance scenNOPE CUT IT, then a ghost was caughted, then they ham fistedly tried to set up a sequel that everyone knew was never really gonna happen. The end.

Hemsworth in GB2016 was the pinnacle of bad American-directed improv comedy. There's videos of Feige outright saying he didn't direct Hemsworth on set and it loving shows. Awful, awful stuff.
