    Are we saying we haven't watched any feature length films since the Kristofferson-Scheider era, or do we not know how cable works? (to say nothing of sexism...)

    Looks like they are pushing hard to recoup their losses from their ****ty movie in China. Good luck. I notice they didn't trot out their "bankable" stars tho lol.

    Looks like a very meh movie to me,,, but than again I thought the original Ghostbusters was very meh as well. I was born in the mid-80s but due to various reasons watched the original Ghostbusters for the very first time only a couple of years ago. Since the Ghostbusters franchise don't have any nostalgic value to me I don't really understand the massive amount of vitriol aimed at this reboot. I doubt it'll be a good movie but I don't think it's record breaking downvotes bad level either.

    It seems this is the route every big-budget Hollywood movie is going. There is a lot of money to be made in China and movies are being shaped to meet that market (and government review). In a lot of cases, it means a lot more ****ty movies that may not earn much in the U.S. but still make bank in the international space.

    Who cares if they 90% of movies are lousy? Is this anything new? There are still plenty of good movies every year, and countless old movies to catch up on if somehow anyone can manage to see all the current ones.

    so are we just going to ignore the 79% rating on RT so far?
    maybe there was a mistake.

    From what I've read the early reviews are mostly mixed to positive. The biggest complaint is that the film doesn't differentiate itself from the original to make it's worth remaking.....

    I've heard that a lot of the early positive reviews are by people with agendas so I'd take the RT score with a grain of salt until we at least hit the release date. A lot of the recent unbiased reviews are saying it's not worthy of the "chauvinistic hatred", but also not worthy of the feminist fanfare. In other words, It's pretty "meh" like virtually every other Summer blockbuster.

    They did reshoots after the poorly reviewed trailer so it is possible it went from awful to below average. Still not watching. The insidious marketing campaign and complete disregard to the original material is enough to turn me off.

    They ridiculed the poor reviews and dismissed them as sexist, but then did reshoots to address the problem. You can't get more full of ****.
