Looks fine. Not great, but fine.

edit:

Upon a rewatch, they're leaning a bit too hard on gross-out/slapstick that the first movie barely touched on. Still, there's some stuff that I enjoyed in there too. I laughed at "GET OUT OF MY FRIEND, GHOST!"
 
Is it weird I got a reboot tmnt vibe from this? Something about the way it's shot

I'm also disappointed that they pretty much showed the entire McCarthy possession sequence
 
The ectoplasm in every crack line made me chuckle, but it feels like they're holding back on the comedy. Like everyone's being too cautious with the material. Looks great visually though, nice effects on the ghosts.

I didn't chuckle or laugh during that trailer, but the movie looks okay. Decent visuals, cast seems to be having fun. Will scope it out I guess.
 
Seems like a sequel from that spray paint logo in the subway tunnel

Should have just done a sequel where Egon dies(yes it'd be in bad taste to use Harold Ramis's death) and have his daughter (Kate) form a team to find out how he died with help from the original ghostbusters throughout the film

The trailer was ok, slimer the god is back B^) and lots of possessions seem to be the focus
 
Watched it in mute and loved what I saw.

Looks a lot better than the publicity shots they've been releasing.

On board 100%.

Definitely a Paul Feig movie, not sure his humor will work for ghostbusters. Still interested in seeing how this turns out.

The tone feels waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off, could be a good film but that does not feel like Ghostbusters at all, not one bit.
 
There was absolutely nothing in that trailer leading me to believe this will be even slightly enjoyable. Also, McCarthy is the worst...just the worst.
