[Monkeylord]

I'm half expecting there to be a ghost that at least bares a passing resemblance to Harold Ramis.

 

[Blablurn]

Looks pretty good.

looks good better than I expected.

bayern fans know what up

 

[Chopper]

Y'all are crazy. Looks like a lot of fun!

 

[AppleSeason]

Much worse

And I'm still trying to find what I'm really not liking. At first though that the cgi ghosts made it look more like the cartoons than the films, but when I've seen the acting... nope, not convinced yet.

 

[Nugg]

Wait is this a reboot or a sequel.

Both. It's treated as a reboot, but the events of the first movies did happen.

 

[Foggy]

Trailers can be pretty bad about butchering punchlines so I won't give this trailer a whole lot of grief. That said I'm not exactly clamoring for this movie so I'll just hang out on the sidelines and watch the parade of madness unfold.

 

[OriginalThinking]

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

I thought much the same when I watched the trailer.

 

[LiK]

Looks good. I see so much Boston it's distracting.

 

[PR_rambo]

I am neither thrilled nor displeased

 

[pxleyes]

Looks like a ton of fun

 

[Xater]

This trailer was incredibly underwhelming. I was looking forward to this, and I am disappointed by how unfunny and dumb the references are.

Both. It's treated as a reboot, but the events of the first movies did happen.

Which makes me question parts of this trailer even more.

 

[Sinatar]

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

Yea.

That trailer was real bad.

 

[VAD]

I wouldn't want to see this movie if I didn't know the Bridesmaids people were behind it.

 

[Inferno313]

Gaf hates comedies as usual.

This looks like it could definitely be good. Sure, It looks like a Paul Feig film with Ghostbusters trimmings, but plenty of his films have been great, especially his most recent film, Spy.

 

[dugdug]

Yo.

Where were the jokes?

 

[maquiladora]

Those jokes were....terrible. Not even remotely funny. Actually a bit cringey.
But I can't lie...I kinda dig the atmosphere and visuals and look of the characters.

Conflicted.

 

[peppermints]

Actually really like the version of the theme song they're using. Feels modern but not hitting you over the head that it's modern.

The 4 of them seem to have good chemistry and I'm sure the trailer is using some of the more extreme parts (slapping the ghost out) to appeal to the broadest audience possible.

Was optimistic before, still am. Looks good!

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

I expected it to come off poorly, so maybe my expectations were low since I actually enjoyed the trailer for what it was.

That said..

Is it weird I got a reboot tmnt vibe from this? Something about the way it's shot

Exactly.

 

[JaggedSac]

Looks terrible. Didn't even get a chuckle out of me. Ghosts look awful too.

 

[SArcher]

Are we gonna get a scene with a ghost molesting one of them?

 

[RetroDLC]

I'm going to predict there's an alternative timeline thing going on with this.

 

[Acquiescence]

You can often tell what the general quality of a film will be just by watching its trailer.

This won't be very good. 30-40% on Rotten Tomatoes I'm predicting.

 

[Tadale]

The ghosts look great, and the humor seems more Paul Fieg than Ghostbusters.

Don't know what else you would expect - seems like a lot of fun.

EDIT: I wish it was a sequel, not a reboot.

 

[chaislip3]

Looks like fun. Trailers for comedies usually aren't super representative of the quality of the film, but it should be a fun time. Spy is basically the prime example of that.

 

[chris121580]

I'm looking forward to it. I actually like the look of the ghosts

 

[petethepanda]

Trailer didn't do much for me.

I love the cast, but I've absolutely hated Paul Feig's movies.

 

[Jb]

I really like the cast but man I think Paul Feig is such a mediocre director, especially when it comes to action comedies like The Heat or Spy Fingers crossed the writing makes up for it.

 

[georly]

Started off alright, and got worse as the trailer went on. Will wait for reviews but I'm not opposed to going to see it.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Those jokes were....terrible. Not even remotely funny. Actually a bit cringey.
But I can't lie...I kinda dig the atmosphere and visuals and look of the characters.

Conflicted.

THat's where I am although I tend to cut the jokes in comedy trailers some slack.

 

[Krev]

Looks like a serviceable action comedy.

The token 'street smart' black woman is embarrassing.

 

[Ominym]

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.

The trailer literally says in the first 30 seconds,

"30 years ago
Four scientists saved New York
This Summer
A new team will answer the call"

 

[maquiladora]

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

Indeed. Complete with "Awwww hell naw!" I cringed. This is comedy in 2016?

 

[Zombie James]

That was pretty, pretty bad...

 

[Phreakuency]

Looks like a Wayans Brothers parody movie. Terrible.

And Kristen Wiig is such a bad actress, it's like you can see her smirking through every scene struggling to keep a straight face.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Hated it and I had hope. I knew the comedic tone would be different and yup. Getting barfed on. Slapping a ghost out etc. in sure McCarthy will fall down hilariously at one point.

What I wasn't ready for was duel pistol proton guns. Ghost bear traps? Proton fist daggers/knuckles? Yikes.

 

[Mdk7]

As I wrote in the other thread, I was expecting the worst and that's pretty much what I got.

I save the Ghostbuster theme and the vibrant colors, but the rest to me is truly terrible.
Unfunny, poor rhythm, horrible editing... bad, bad trailer.

 

[illmatic22]

I'll pass.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Knew what was gonna happen with the first 'scare'. Still made me jump though. Went to 'eh' after that though. It just doesn't seem to have the charm of the original.

Also, this is a reboot-sequel then right? As it mentions the previous cast.

 

[Rootbeer]

Are we gonna get a scene with a ghost molesting one of them?

... what

 

[Diprosalic]

The ghosts look great, and the humor seems more Paul Fieg than Ghostbusters.

Don't know what else you would expect - seems like a lot of fun.

EDIT: I wish it was a sequel, not a reboot.

it is a sequel.

 

[Morts]

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

Yeah, this part was a bummer. Still looks like it could be entertaining overall.

 

[SolidChamp]

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

Yeah, I got that as well...

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

... what

It's in the first movie!

 

[n00bsauce87]

I'm glad they didn't put all the funny in the trailer. Even better they didn't give much of the plot away. I like the wig/hat bit and the part where Melissa gets slapped to take out the ghost.

Although I'm curious how they are gonna explain how Leslie Jones gets introduced to the team. How did she meet the other three?

EDIT: Oh I wasn't the only one who had token black lady vibes? *wipes forehead* I though I was the only one

 

[Xater]

Yeah token black lady bothered me as well. Why do we need the same dumb setup for her as with Winston? Why can't she just be a scientist?

 

[alr1ght]

... what

Ray got a blowjob from a ghost in GB1.

 

[Geek]

a little on the nose with the Twinkie joke but I like it

 

[Mully]

Looks kind of bad.

 

[Rootbeer]

It's in the first movie!

I'm trying to remember what you mean...

What part is being interpreted as a molestation? I know there is a scene where she is grabbed into the chair and pulled into a room but that wasn't sexual?

Ray got a blowjob from a ghost in GB1.

Oh, uhh hm, yeah that did happen, my mind erased, hopefully for the better

 

[Busty]

Eh. That was about what I was expecting to be honest. I like Wiig and McCarthy so I'll probably check this out but that 'possessed by ghosts' but looked horrible.

But given that this is supposed to be a comedy I really hope that all the film's big laughs weren't in that trailer..., because if they were...,

Looks fucking awful...
yet oddly hyped as hell.

This thinking made Jurassic World a hit so who knows.
