To be honest. . . this doesn’t even look to be worth the cheap Second-run movie theaters.

I expect the DVD to be prominent in the $5 DVD bin at your local Wally World by next summer. . . .

Just let it go. It’s like a joke punch line being repeated.

What’s with remaking stories and making key characters women?

I heard this also happened in the CBS series “Elementary”, which is a Sherlock Holmes inspired series. In that series, Dr. Watson is a woman.

I have not seen that show, however, it just makes me wonder, why the need to take established storylines, and put a woman in what was a man’s role? Is it because of women’s lib, or exactly why the need to do this?

never thought Melissa McCarthy was all that funny to begin with. Have any of her movies been funny? IMO the only reason she’s had any success at all is due to Billy Gardell.

Please let this be the end of Melissa McCarthy's career...

I’m happy that I downvoted this abortion on the first day the trailer came out. What studio exec greenlighted this POS? Seriously?

This is weird in that several of my friends brought up this movie even though we seldom if ever talk about movies. (I don’t even have a television.) They were really negative about the movie. Apparently they all like the original and were hoping for a sequel. But this isn’t the sequel they wanted. My takeaway was that by going PC the producers annoyed their audience.

I’m not a big fan of crude Frat Boy humor.
And I like it even less when women perform it.

Was it the writers intention for the black woman to be a walking talking stereotype?

That yucky trailer went everywhere, by the way... in every crack... very hard to wash off.

Ewwwww!

Good, it deserves it. It looks awful and ruins the Ghostbuster franchise.

The trailer is so absolutely terrible you’d think they wanted the film to fail.

It has “Massive Flop” written all over it.

Rick Moranis is the only one with enough sense not to make a cameo in the movie

I laughed when I heard that they were planning to remake a politically correct Ghostbusters. First of all, it's a pretty weak franchise to begin with, and one that succeeded only because of the strength of the Three Stooges ensemble who carried it, and secondly, because it was a weird, novel idea at the time.

Now, it's just stupid, and three skanky bimbos are NOT -- repeat NOT -- going to have the clownish chemistry of Akroyd, Murray, and Ramis.

Yet some doofus managed to convince the Hollywood idiots that this anchor could fly, and was worth sinking millions of dollars into.

It's not even a bomb; it's a PRE-bomb!

If these guys wanted to do their little reboot, then they could have at least gotten a better cast.

Jason Bateman
Dave Chappelle
Zach Galifianakis
Sarah Silverman
Melissa McCarthy

All the comedy bases covered from the straight man, black guy, the weird guy, the “manish” female, and the lovable female underdog.

At least the dynamic would lead to some genuinely funny moments, and would not have alienated 101% of the audience.

The trailer looks like the original’s out-takes wearing dresses.
