As a Millennial seven years younger than the original...

Posted by: UConnHusky on Mar 03, 06:54 in response to islander's post Ghostbusters trailer has arrived

I'm down. Looks fun. The second trailer will determine whether I see it opening weekend or at a matinee, but I'll definitely see it. I like the cast, and they seem to have good chemistry. It's obviously a retread of the original with a few twists, but what reboot isn't these days? Could be a lot worse. The humor here isn't anything groundbreaking, but it's definitely not the horrible disaster all the die-hards have been claiming it is.

Hoping the effects improve, though I'm sure the reason they didn't show much is because they're working the VFX team to the bone right now.

uh-oh {nm} jwammo Mar 03, 06:18

Lame and unnecessary. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Mar 03, 06:19

YIKES! {nm} RazorHawk Mar 03, 06:20

Something's missing... {nm} billy Mar 03, 06:21

Who ya gonna call? A new screenwriter. {nm} RollingThunder Mar 03, 06:21

What's that? {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 03, 10:18

Awesome. I can't wait! {nm} Biff68 Mar 03, 06:30

Wow, that's awful. {nm} queensguy Mar 03, 06:33

I liked it {nm} islander Mar 03, 06:35

So in this universe the original guys existed... but they didn't have an ecto-1? {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 03, 06:58

no... this a reboot of the series so the former movies never happened. {nm} RazorHawk Mar 03, 07:15

yet they mention the team from 30 years ago and show the Ghostbusters symbol as graffiti just to confuse me {nm} tealfan Mar 03, 07:29

Seems like they're banking on that happening a lot. {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 03, 07:34

desperate people do desperate things {nm} RazorHawk Mar 03, 07:39

yeah I don't think the first 5 seconds of the trailer have anything to do with the movie. {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 08:41

Having their cake and eating it too. {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 03, 09:08

Meh. Where's the connection? {nm} tatoufan Mar 03, 07:54

Video has 9k likes, 10k dislikes. Ouch. MattW Mar 03, 08:08

oh my goodness does that look bad. {nm} captainadam_21 Mar 03, 08:17

Maybe, they're just keeping the best parts for the actual movie, like most trailers do. {nm} queensguy Mar 03, 08:27

But thats like the opposite of what they do for so many movies these days. Too many movies the best parts are what you saw in the trailer. {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 08:29

I was just kidding. {nm} queensguy Mar 03, 08:34

Kate Mckinnon is going to own this movie. {nm} HurricaneKid Mar 03, 08:36

Yeah.. Shes the only one that comes across remotely funny in this trailer. {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 08:39

+1, I think they'll also get a lot of mileage out of Leslie Jones--as long as they don't rely on black jokes. Like her slapping Melissa. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 11:38

My gf was like eh.. I'm like eh.. {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 08:40

OH NO! Women, the demographic this was CLEARLY made for (not the fanboys who actually pump money into the series), don't want it either! {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 12:00

From this i'm not buying McCarthy in the Venkman/Murray role. {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 08:43

All I know is this movie looks so bad Ernie Hudson must be spinning in his grave... {nm} queensguy Mar 03, 08:50

..... you mean Harold Ramis, right? {nm} HurricaneKid Mar 03, 09:20

I was just kidding. {nm} queensguy Mar 03, 09:29

puke jokes / gross-out jokes = surefire sign of terrible unfunny writing. Especially when they make the trailer {nm} andy007 Mar 03, 08:56

I have found this summer's Pan. What a pile of hot garbage. {nm} Initech Mar 03, 08:56

who is Chris Helmsworth sposed to be in this movie?? Or is he just in it to walk around in a tight shirt? {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 09:00

*Hemsworth {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 09:01

He's the hot intern / assistant {nm} RamsFan2004 Mar 03, 09:08

figures {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 09:30

Clearly the villain. They tried to not reveal too much in the trailer but they couldn't help themselves. {nm} DTshakes Mar 03, 09:27

He's the Annie Potts of this version. Note the glasses. {nm} BSmurf Mar 03, 10:04

He's just another attempt by the studio to draw women into buying tickets for a men's franchise. At this rate, no one will be buying any. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 12:06

Dude. He's the tall eye-candy. Like Sigourney Weaver last time. {nm} jjmarino Mar 03, 14:38

The tall eye-candy for who? The gay "Ghostbusters?" Because women aren't going to want to see the film. It's not connecting. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 17:01

My 16 year old son is a HUGE Ghostbuters fan and thought this looked like sh** {nm} Dorfman Mar 03, 09:03

I found the SFX off-putting. Too much shiny glowy CGI going on. {nm} BSmurf Mar 03, 10:06

Unfortunately--that's the visual cues of the original. It could've been withheld a bit to enhance the practical effects. IF there were any. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 11:40

Besides Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones--this looks like hack soft-reboot work. Everything about it. I didn't laugh once. They're gonna flop. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Mar 03, 11:36

Good lord that looks awful. So of course it will go gangbusters. {nm} Buckee Mar 03, 12:26

Yet an other franchise form my childhood ruined.... {nm} Smartlink Mar 03, 12:39

You act like they're deleting the original movie from existence. Nothing is ruined. {nm} Biff68 Mar 03, 13:04
