Great movie but the guy is just a gimmick director now.

Also, I didn't know the director of Bridesmaids was the teacher from Sabrina The Teenage Witch, and checking out his recent stuff, I've noticed that he seems to have some sort of "Tim Burton/Johnny Depp" style love thing for Melissa McCarthy. Four out of the six movies he's directed have McCarthy in them. |

I think Melissa McCarthy is really unfunny but I think the other 3 are very funny

She can be funny but she also can be pretty terrible. Why is the blonde trying to look like Miley Cyrus?

Another photo, but this one is an official one.
And that woman's name is Leslie Jones. I've never heard of her. |

I hope this movie is funny as fuck and is an absolute smash hit at the box office, just due to all the hate it's been getting. Not from any of you handsome gentlemen, just on social media.
I get it's all women, but the director has a solid if not better track record, these women, except for the black one because I've never seen her in anything, are all funny and talented, and because it's all Bill Murray's fault we never got a trilogy so Hollywood told him to fuck off and went a different direction. Not to mention, isn't there an all male version of this film being developed as well? Thought I read that somewhere. |

A 'male version' is stupid as well. Why is there a 'male' and 'female' version of Ghostbusters? It just leads to drama.

I don't know. I don't get caught up in all that. As long as they're good movies and I'm entertained for a few hours I'm all for it. At least for movies like this where I don't really care that they're rebooting.

No issue with the all-female cast but overall feel the same way right now as I did with the recent TNMT film and the Micheal Bay Transformers series in not really caring at all to watch it.
Might change the closer the film is to release or if it shows up in the near future on tv. Ended up enjoying the 1st Transformers film that way. |

Okay, I take back everything I said defending this movie and waiting for it to come out before passing judgment. This trailer was absolutely, 100% not funny at all. Looks awful.

I'll still wait till it comes out. Trailer didn't really sway me one way or the other.

Damn. Was hoping the actually good director could salvage this stunt of a movie. Could be still worth a netflix night, but I'm more lenient on movies than you guys. I could how this... misses many marks.

Wish the "humour" was more "subtle" and less "over-the-top".... but that is more just the state of modern "humour" in general compared to the "humour" of the past.....

Yeah very seldom is there subtle humor you have to listen for these days. We shall see how this does. Interesting that this seems more like a quasi sequel.

The mountain lady, Leslie Jones, screams all the time on SNL. Pretty much you'll be getting full on yelling scenes throughout the second half of the film. That's just how she rolls.
I can't defend this as much as I love the Ghostbusters franchise. Will definitely watch it sometime down the road |

Just watched the trailer again. Honestly this looks horrendous. Definitely not gonna see this in the cinema. It's like every single joke or bit that is meant to be funny has already been done in countless other films, and wasn't funny then, either. I was open to a remake/reboot/sequel whatever. I love the original films, but as the franchise hasn't been touched in almost three decades I was happy to see what they can come up with, but this looks like the absolute drizzling shits.

I was willing to give it a chance but this looks like Scooby Doo monsters unleashed with Bridesmaid humor. I think Bridesmaids was very funny mind you, but I think the humor in GB was much more subtle.

Murray didn't sign off on anything, which is why we're getting this movie instead

As a cameo. Go read some Dan Akroyd interviews. Plenty of quotes pointing to Murray not wanting to do a third film, throwing away scripts, etc.
A little different than randomly showing up in a different version of the film where the original character is no longer a central focus. |
