    The cast is funny but that looks pretty meh.

    All these reboots just repeat the exact same story

    That looks worse than I thought. This will be like watching money burning.

    McCarthy is the new Murphy?

    I guess after 30 years, you can make the exact same movie with a new cast and no will be b****, except for the few extremely old farts who still got their memory.

    Yikes. That was shockingly bad. And I like all the actresses in it, but oh my...shockingly bad...

    Disagree with all of you who say the movie looks bad. I thought Spy looked like one of the worst movies of all time from the trailers, and it ended up being very funny. This looks quite good, and I love all of the cast members. The SNL girls (not even including Wiig in this) look like they might steal the movie. One thing I didn't like is it almost seems like the trailer alluded to Helmsworth being the eventual bad guy. Spoiler alert much?

    Plus I mean...Ghostbusters. I'm an 80s/90s kid, how could I not watch this?

    I want to hate it. But it actually looks decent.

    The main cast of known name bankable actors will steal the movie? LOLK

    I'm not spending money on this unless I hear REALLY good things.

    Damnit...statements like this are why Hollywood keeps churning out these pointless reboots.

    Breh has a point though. I watched all the crappy remakes purely on sentimental value. I regret it almost immediately halfway through the movie, but the money has already been spent.

    Hollywood making money on pointless reboots, super hero movies, and other popcorn flicks allows them to expand their market such that they can make money on a larger variety of non-pointless non-reboots.

    Same here, I'm going to hold off judgement because Paul Feig has been pretty dependable as a comedy director and I think the cast is pretty solid.

    That being said, that trailer was pretty bad, IMO....

    If they cast Zach as Janine I could at least look forward to that.

    Thor is the worst choice possible. Shows they have no understanding of the original material.

    yeah suppose it could work out, but it seems very transparent they cast the guy to spark interest in females to go see it.

    kristen wiig is going to ruin this for me.

    Mccarthy - awesome
    kate mckinnon - awesome
    Leslie Jones - truly awesome

    Wiig is terrible.

    I'm not sure they can fill the Bill Murray character.

    i'm not totally comfortable with the idea but it didn't seem too bad. It's hard to imagine them not putting together a good movie really...even if it does destroy our childhoods memory
