Few movies have an awful trailer and turn out to be great movies

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on May 02, 14:32 in response to Antibody's post You don't want a good Ghostbuster movie? I don't...

Now, there are some.  But they are rare.

Just like most people knew from the trailer that this year's Batman vs Superman movie was not gonna be good...I don't think it's a stretch (from the trailer released thus far) to say that this Ghostbusters movie also won't be good.  Now, it doesn't have to be good to make money (BvS opened big just b/c of the characters)...but it helps.

EW: According to a Fandango poll released Monday, moviegoers selected GHST3 as their most anticipated summer comedy. Reshoot over weekend. Antibody May 02, 13:37

That doesn't mean much - there isn't really another big summer comedy TwoMisfits May 02, 13:49

CINTL? MDNWD? {nm} numbersix_99 May 02, 14:24

Serious question: How many summer comedies are there this year? ~JPV~ May 02, 13:50

Those are the only other 2 that I could think of {nm} shadowking May 02, 13:52

CON4R, MDNWD {nm} RogerMore May 02, 13:55

BMOMS {nm} Antibody May 02, 13:55

NEIB2 {nm} Jay_Beezy May 02, 14:03

BMOMS, CON4R and MDNWD are all priced to open under 15M. Not exactly competition for biggest anything at that level shadowking May 03, 04:14

Oh I'm anticipating too but to BOMB! {nm} Baron_Darcon May 02, 13:54

You don't want a good Ghostbuster movie? I don't understand rooting for it to fail. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:04

its speaks more about the person than the movie {nm} Moviesnob May 02, 14:07

yes, i do want a great Ghostbusters movie {nm} slipping jimmy May 02, 14:16

Oh I wanted a good Ghostbusters movie, but this abomination isn't that.I want good movies not crap. It'll take 10 years to forget this turd {nm} Baron_Darcon May 02, 14:18

You haven't even seen the movie yet. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:19

Given how much trailers give away it's not hard to see valid formed just off of them. medv4380 May 02, 14:36

One trailer, 2:30 of footage. It'sabsurd to expect pratical effects in the 21st Century. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:41

Sadly previews give soo much away in it's trailers if you pay attention. Also SONY'S email breach gives tons of info way explained in these Baron_Darcon May 02, 23:05

Melissa's style of humor is basically a "WTF, really?" & "f*** that" attitude to everything...that's when she's at her best IMHO... tealfan May 02, 14:46

Moviegoers didn't seem to mind a beat for beat remake of Jurassic Park with better CG. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:47

or a beat to beat remake of Star Wars: A New Hope with better CG. {nm} Antibody May 02, 14:48

I'd argue that Jurassic World didn't have better CGI. It certainly had more of it, frankly to its detriment. {nm} Jay_Beezy May 02, 15:02

You're comparing rehashes of the plot to remakes medv4380 May 02, 16:41

+1. {nm} Captain Obvious May 02, 17:22

No, GHST3 is also a rehash of the plot to Ghostbusters, not a remake. {nm} Antibody May 03, 09:32

They tried a sequel already. Only goes to show how much it failed cause no one seems to remember it Moviesnob May 02, 15:12

I have the Ghostbusters II soundtrack {nm} RazorHawk May 02, 15:15

you dont forget anything dude. your mind is a steel trap {nm} Moviesnob May 02, 15:17

Ghostbusters II soundtrack gave us the hit song "On Our Own" by Bobby Brown {nm} RazorHawk May 02, 15:36

Adam Levine talked about the Ghostbusters II sound on this season of The Voice... (link inside) RazorHawk May 02, 15:38

Yep, I have it as well and listened to a few songs just the other day... {nm} ~JPV~ May 02, 16:06

I really like the Oingo Boingo track {nm} RazorHawk May 02, 16:21

Actual i LOVE Ghostbusters 2!! Long live Vigo the Carpathian!!!!! Vigo the Cruel! Vigo the Torturer, Vigo the Despised, Vigo the Unholy! Baron_Darcon May 02, 22:56

actual lack of understanding / intelligence, or sarcastic lie? {nm} TJNFL1 May 02, 16:51
