Its fking ruined. I hope they all die a horrible agonising death for running a utterly classic timeless brand. I'm utterly obsessed with ghostbusters I've watch it thousands of times. I know every word. I know everything about the film. I scored full points whrn it was on mastermind. I wanted to be a ghostbuster as a kid. I dressed up and had a proton pack etc

Seeing this is like having a small piece of you ripped out and stood on.

Yep, someone is either playing a big joke on everyone about this film or they're trying to make sure it fails

The thing is - this uniform seems to accentuate her frumpiness (intentionally I think). Dan Akroyd wasn't exactly slim in the first one - but his jump suit didn't seem to accentuate his weight in the way this one does on Melissa McCarthy.

Could be the first indicator that the predicted "fat bird gags" will actually be present rolleyes

It's soooooooooo frustrating. They had the perfect opportunity to make this an absolutely awesome film. The remaining living actors couldve handed it over to their kids who had been involved for years, a newer modern ecto 1(b), with all the bells and whistles a modern set up could have and carried on as a new franchise with old under pinnings.

Couldve been so much better than the st that is going to get dumped in cinemas next year.

I thought they tried but Bill Murray always said no way?

They could have done it without his involvement easily enough.

I hope it does work - but I can't think of a single non-chick flick "all female team" movie that has been good.
The Descent.

I was genuinely ready to give this a go, I really was, despite everything...

But no. Just no.

In the meeting where they were discussing the script did no-one have the minerals to say this is st?

Nope it just looks like they had a political correctness meeting instead, picked women and made sure there was a good cross section. Many many boxes ticked, early lunch for everyone! It looks like the BBC picked the cast.

I've said it before., no doubt I'll say it again. We already have the entire cast of a new Ghostbusters movie, they star in a show called the Big Bang Theory, they are geeky, funny and you could easily make a story link and have enough of a twist to keep people interested.

Dear god. Did they actually set out with the agenda of making it look like some kind of half-arsed little England village fete attempt at recreating the original?
This is more like it.....

I guess part of the problem is the original was just that.
Fast forward thirty years and the brand has now become so well known even outside the context of the movie, appearing as Lego, on kids quilt covers, birthday cakes....you name, the little Casper logo is as widespread as the Coca-cola wavey line and Mickey Mouse's ears in silhouette.
The "new" Ghostbusters just look like yet another bit of merchandising.
