Well reading that plot synopsis, Ahm OOt!

So an Author becomes a ghostbuster...not a scientist....right

hmmm- not looking or sounding good at the moment frown

Not impressed with Ecto-1 or the 'new' proton packs.

Either this is all a ruse, or they are deliberately trying to make this remake/reboot to be terrible!

The originals had credence as it was well thought out with having 3 scientists start ghost busting. This new one is just utter dross, an author ffs!!

Wow. Basically a poorly executed and cheap-looking copy of the Caddy from the original GB.
"Yeah, we couldn't find a classic Cadillac that was cheap enough, and all the other ambulances reminded us too much of Cannonall Run"
It just screams low-budget.

Who is betting Feig will roll out the "misogyny" line again if it bombs.

It looks like the car that Ray and Winston should have been using at the start of Ghostbusters 2, to do kids birthday parties.

I'm wondering whether they'll have this stty car when they first start out - only to roll out a cool futuristic looking thing when they inevitably become successful at the end of the movie - perhaps based on something like this:

I watched the original again last night - it's just such a great film, with every line delivered perfectly , great chemistry and not a single shot wasted. Second one didn't have the heart and felt like they were treading water but still fun to watch. The third one is going to be awful frown

I did the same recently. I'll go to my grave having never watched the 3rd one.

I'll still watch it, if only for the sake of morbid curiosity. After all there have been some good remakes/reboots so there's always a chance it can work................

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 odds are stacked against it.

The fact of the matter is - if Ghostbusting was a real job - it would be done by blokes (mostly). By doing a complete gender role reversal to the point of casting a hunky male receptionist (who will in all probability be the butt of jokes) - you naturally take away some of the believability. It just feels forced.

The original had an air of plausibility about it that this movie just doesn't (and IMO won't) have.

Mad Max Fury Road is utterly awesome, although admittedly it is from the same director. However I would say The Thing, Ocean's 11 Dawn of the Dead, The Crazies, Gone in 60 Seconds, the two recent Planet of the Apes, King Kong and Evil Dead are all good films in their own right
