If you can't see how its clearly based on the original, I don't know what to tell you.
Explain, if you would.

Is this meant to mean something? That site has all sorts of shit with decent scores.
IMDB is user reviews. Unless you're suggesting that the only users who voted for it on IMDB are Rotten Tomatoes reviewers, I think you're just not paying attention.
It means "the consensus doesn't agree with you", hence for most people Spy is an example of a good movie with a bad trailer. From Paul Feig.
Therefore, it is also possible that for most people, Ghostbusters could be a good movie with a bad trailer. From Paul Feig.
What you personally thought of Spy doesn't enter into it much.
Again, any shit gets decent reviews. They're a meaningless stat..
Again, when nearly every movie gets good reviews and only few are panned, it shows the system is rather useless as a measurement of quality.
There are tons of films that are remakes of older films that don't shit on legacy of the originals
Rotten Tomatoes especially has some questionable ratings for films such as Equilibrium, Home Alone, Boondock Saints to name a few.
There are lots of great movies that have bad reviews so just going by the general consensus isn't always the best way to look at films. Rotten Tomatoes especially has some questionable ratings for films such as Equilibrium, Home Alone, Boondock Saints to name a few.
Personal opinion is all that should matter in the end, not what everyone else thinks.
It's cool, I like Alien 3.
Exactly. People can choose to like any movie regardless of flaws. I see reviews as a measurement of how other people feel but I never allow that to influences how I feel about a movie.

Pfft lies
You like Resurrection
Can you elaborate? I've never heard any issue with user reviews over-rating films consistently. The only cases I ever see that in are sequels and adaptations.
Are you serious? With pretty much any user reviews looked at in mass it is pointless. People tend to watch movies they think they will like, which instantly makes it a skewed towards positive outcome, then you get stuff like agenda voting, then there is the fact that most people won't even use the full scale.
my take is that they took advantage of Harold Ramis' death and tossed his three script ideas into the trash and allowed Paul Feig to come up with this 2016 crap.
if Harold Ramis was still alive; this Feig film would have not have been allowed to be
I can see where you're coming from, and it's true, just saying Spy is shit adds nothing to the conversation. I haven't seen spy so I can't say if I like t or not.
I wonder how many people generally review a film or leave a score though. I think it's important to keep in mind there are probably a lot of people who either liked or disliked it and just don't voice their opinions online about it.
It would be cool if there was a rating system at the end of movies so everyone can vote before leaving the theatre, maybe like a phone app or a tablet attached to the seat...something like that could be neat. It'd be interesting to see movie ratings with that sort of system.

Again, are you trying to argue that "shitting on the legacy" (and the "legacies" in question are almost always inflated to some degree based on nostalgic attachment, unless you wanna argue for the strong, lasting legacy of things like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Starsky & Hutch, and Robocop) was 100% intentional on the part of the creatives hired to make the film? Because that's a bad argument. Again, nobody making these films sets out to make a bad movie. Almost every bad film ever made was started with the intention of knocking it out of the park.
Pfft lies
You like Resurrection
I mean, Resurrection is better than 3
How dare y--
HOW DARE YOU
It's obvious now that this Ghostbusters is just going to have a different tone, comically, from the original. I've said it before in this thread but now that we have two trailers it's pretty clear. GB was very dry, subtle, sarcastic humor in a relatively quiet, low energy movie. GB16 is high energy with a lot of physical comedy. There's no reason to say "that's not Ghostbusters" it's just not the Ghostbusters we're used to.
No, Ramis died in February 2014. Feig's involvement was first reported that August, and the cast wasn't announced until January 2015.Especially since he passed away well after the movie had been announced. Even the cast had been revealed before he died. Come on.
I was even starting to get over the possession scene-- just a bit-- and then this trailer came out and had things that are just as lame, if not worse.
Aka cynical film making.
I think Ghostbusters can be a lot of things, I just want it to be good. The humor here looks like it's for the lowest common denominator. I'm fine with it not being the deadpan humor of the original, or anything like the original even, but I'm definitely asking for it to be something much, much better, more creative, more witty than what it looks here. Just because it's different from the original doesn't mean it has to be bad. And maybe it isn't, but these trailers aren't doing it any favors.
I was even starting to get over the possession scene-- just a bit-- and then this trailer came out and had things that are just as lame, if not worse. Also if Alien 3 is garbage, Resurrection is hot garbage.
Honestly, I would probably even be fine if the movie came out and all the jokes fell flat as long as the story is good.

But I don't believe they "took advantage of his death", either - it was just the last nail in the coffin of developing a Ghostbusters film as a sequel.

Nah, the last movie Ramis made was "Year One" Even if the new Ghostbuster's is bad, Ramis was fine with putting out bad movies.
You are once again dead to me!I mean, Resurrection is better than 3
Ramis never made another movie that touched GB 84
Groundhog Day found its own level of greatness, though. I wouldn't compare the two directly, but they're both pretty well loved.
Groundhog Day wasn't so easily merchandisable, of course.

Vote stuffing can happen from those who enjoy and dislike a movie. Heck, this thread has had people accuse both sides of doing as such with this new movie. Can you show evidence that suggests that fanbases engage in votestuffing more so than hatebases do/
Unfortunately Groundhog Day was also the movie that caused the weird falling out with Murray.
That is just evidence of why the scores are worthless,
Um, no.I mean, Resurrection is better than 3
That is just evidence of why the scores are worthless, a bunch of stuff votes on both ends in a already skewed system.
Um, no.
Oh.... wow.... that sounds awful.Sooo umm yeahh, this seems to confirm that Reddit post:
The whole thing is here... https://www.reddit.com/r/ghostbuste...een_an_early_version_of_the_new_ghostbusters/ Spoilers, I guess?
The Assembly Cut is superior!Oh yes yes yes. David Fincher probably agrees.
Everything I've heard/read about Bill Murray makes me have the impression that he's a jackass tho
