Only looks okay. Hard to recreate the chemistry between the original cast. Looked a little too much as if all 4 members here are playing "the funny one" and when you do it like that it ends up being too silly.

Looks fun; the time square sequence looks really cool and tickles the 10 year old horror fan inside me.

But the jokes fell flat on me... they were kind of simple? It continues the trend of not actually having any one liners or gags, just awkward conversations between awkward people (which are almost always drawn out to an uncomfortable length of time).

We'll see. But of course, dupstep everything. Even if it's not mean too have that done to it.

It doesn't look that bad. I was expecting the worst, but there were some laughs in that trailer. I'd watch it.

Uhhhhh not a good trailer. Didn't crack a chuckle once. And not enough Chris Hemsworth, if you're gonna put him in a trailer at all.
 
God, reading that Bill Murray appears in this movie just hurts ... blocking any attempts at another Ghostbusters movie with the old cast until it's just not possible anymore due to Harold Ramis' passing, and then just popping up for shits and giggles in this "remake" ...

I like Murray, but in this case, he's an arse.

Also trailer looks ... meh. Not feeling it right now.

I thought that music was hype. Was expecting worse, but I'll catch this on Netflix for sure. :)

I think this is where I'm at. Had zero interest in this (honestly, two films is more than enough, I would have been fine with just the first one, really) but this is enough for me to check it out at some point when it hits Netflix.

"You white people may be educated and smart and stuff but just like the originals made decades ago ima be the token black person."

Yeeeeaah, I was kind of thinking the same thing at that part.

I strongly feel that one joke can set the tone for how the rest of the movie will be.
The very last part of the trailer where she is screaming and slaps her twice is such a bad attempt at being funny that I can guarantee the rest of the movie will be filled with a LOT more of that.
 
Love the look of the film and the haunted-mansion-style colorful ghosts.

As noted above, definitely feels like a Feig film and not sure if it's a great fit for Ghostbusters yet from the trailer. But we'll see!

I chuckled here and there, but the tone of the trailer was all off and the
possible human (as in currently living human) element actively causing more ghosts to show up
doesn't sit all that well with me. Hoping the movie is more funny than super cereal.
 
You know what it reminds me of?

The Robocop Remake. An unnecessary Remake that needed to be made for a cash grab. That's all that this is.

I never had a problem with the gender swap like so many fans but this trailer just isn't any good. Maybe the movie will be better.

This seems like it has potential. Particularity liking Kristen Wigg.

So this movie assumes the original Ghost busters never happened? I guess with all the cameos it has to be this way.
 
....

I was expecting to cringe a lot more than I did. I really hate when some of these reboots/ remakes try to pull on audience heart strings by using somber piano music of the theme song in trailers.

But beyond that, I kind of liked it... It looks like they are having fun with the material. I laughed at the "Cadillac" line and the McCarthy possession scene.

I am definitely giving this one a chance. Though some of those CG effects look like they came out of the 2009 game.

Eh, looks serviceable, at best. Will check it out on matinee this summer since my wife is a school teacher and is extremely bored in the summers. Not expecting anything more than a Robocop-esque remake, quality-wise.
