Not sure why "I refuse to watch because the US trailer was ass" isn't a valid reason, but whatevs.  |

Not sure why "I refuse to watch because the US trailer was ass" isn't a valid reason, but whatevs. The only thing with trailers is that the directors usually don't have any hand in it. It's usually handled by the marketing people that just put shit up to grab your attention. I am not saying this won't be shit though. It's main drawback is them mucking with Ghostbusters. The cast, writers, and director aren't known for putting out terrible films overall. |

If that's sexism then god help us. He barely mentioned that they were women.

The only segment that I recall him talking about their womanness was when he said people might regard this as the "female" ghost-busters as opposed to the male. And that was right after him raging that forever the original movie will have a preface that it would be the 1984 GB and this would be the 2016 one. Other than that he raged about the effects, marketing, lack of the original guys, etc.
IF he spoke about their ladyness at other places please enlighten me.

Slight improvement over the last one, with at least 2 funny bits (both from Leslie Jones). Still not seeing much to justify all the pixels being dedicated to it.

Yeah, that's him. He's still doing the AVGN thing, too, but not as much these days (like two videos per year or so). |

The only improvement I saw in the new trailer was that it explained the movie a touch better. I wish I could laugh at any of the jokes, but they all felt forced or just fell flat to me. I didn't even crack a smile, and I'm pretty easy to please. Obviously this is my opinion, but this movie looks like garbage. Hopefully the people who made the trailers are just complete idiots and showed us all the bad parts of the movie. That said, the trailers were bad enough on their own to convince me to stay out of the theaters.

It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good. I think that's the main problem.

I disagree - it looks bad. The jokes aren't funny and in some cases don't even make sense. The CGI is really lame looking as well.
I meant - it's not "A Haunted House 2" bad (this is a real movie!), but it looks bad.

I actually thought this movie had already come out, had been not watched and ultimately forgotten. So we still have this to not look forward to?

The latest trailer isn't... awful. It does seem to try to lean very heavily on the first, without really evoking the humor of the first movie. I still have no real desire to see it in theaters, but I'm sure it'll end up on my television at some point.  |

Nope - still shite of the most noxious kind. This manner of creeping acceptance for second-rate donkey smegma reboots will drop our "society" lower than whale shit. Stop it. |

I do like that one better than the US version but it still doesn't make me want to see the movie.

It looks better in that I smiled once or twice. Still bad though.
That phone joke is an example of why I don't like this movie, or at least the trailers. I get that the male receptionist guy is supposed to be very stupid, but the joke relies on him not being able to tell where a sound is coming from rather than stupidity. If there was a working phone right behind the one in the fish tank it would make sense. But the premise of this joke is "this guy is so dumb that he, um, also doesn't have directional hearing?"
A lot of the jokes are a combination of lazy and under-thought. The joke at the start of the trailer is another example of this - it feels like a rough draft version.
I know people like to say that Spy had bad trailers and was good, but I thought the trailers for Spy were fine.
Also I hate women.

Ok, that last trailer was much better but still only mediocre because I just can't stop hating women.

Holy shit, that's still awful. Yeah, I didn't bother watching until just now. Not only is the trailer not any funnier, the effects haven't improved either. That's something they COULD fix. |

Ok, Didn't bother watching till now. Uh... the 30 year old effects are argubly better thooking than this. Though I thought the Ghostbusters sign monster looked pretty good.
Um... IT LOOKS FUCKING TERRIBLE. Sorry my sexism had to burst out there.

They do, they really, really do. You can tell some executive said, "Higher resolution, crisp images are better CGI! They also need to GLOW make them more electric-colors! Oh, but not too much detail because they're ghosts... "
Blah.

Apparently most of us are just friendless trolls. How about you write an original movie? Or if you are going to steal an idea, how about making it remotely amusing? I was indifferent to this movie, now I want it to fail so hard I never see MM again. Seriously, fuck her.

Has there ever been another movie where the marketing was centered around "if you don't like or don't watch this movie you must be a bad person"?
I mean...this isn't An Inconvenient Truth, it's fucking Ghostbusters. It's not like it's your duty as a progressive member of society to sit your ass in a seat and watch a popcorn Hollywood film.
To me it's just so unbelievably cynical. What next? "If you don't watch Big Bang Theory you're racist"?
Fuck this movie.
