Science fiction.

I've gone through quite a journey with this movie. I initially didn't want to see any new GBs, male or female, other than the original four. Their sense of humor is so unique to them and you can't duplicate or try to mimic is with any amount of accuracy. That sense of humor is what made the original what it was.
But I've come around and realized that even those four guys couldn't do it again either. GB2 does have its moments, some parts are brilliantly funny and those get completely overlooked due to the rest of the movie being either bland or downright stupid. So now I'm saying fine, let it be different. It has to be. The only woman I don't care for here is Melissa McCarthy, but hey, there wasn't a fat joke in the trailer, there is hope! Plus, I find their secretary being Chris Hemsworth really funny.
I liked the trailer. Some of it I'll need to see in context, I'm sure, but they've sold me a ticket. That's more than what could be said of most movie trailers, BvS chief amongst them.

But the roles look awfully cliché though, don't they? Apparently that was one of the parts from the 1980s that they didn't want to change.

Science fiction.
History (or Poltergeist at least) has shown us that women are highly attuned to the ghosting world.

They don't seem to have updated the formula in any way. Nerdy into-it one, brilliant engineer one, jaded one, and token black one. Getting slimed, check, unexpected hearse, check, hot possessed antagonist, check. What the fuck? Did Barry Sonnenfeld direct this?
I think I'd rather see them all do a scene-for scene remake of GHOSTBUSTERS a la Van Sant's PSYCHO than watch this. Sorry to rain on the parade. I love the cast, but this seems like a hollow shell of a great movie.

You know the joke is coming when they TRY and cross the streams, but can't.

Ernie Hudson unfortunately didn't make the first movie poster, but he at least played a real character. Leslie Jones looks to continue the stereotypical 'Oh, Hell no...' role. As a stretch, maybe she'll also say '[someone], please!'

I've edited video in a whole lot of forms, but I never had to edit something together to sell a film. That being said, I think I could do it a hell of a lot better than most trailers I see, but comedy? That seems hard. You need to show something to entice people to get into the theater, but you also can't show your A material. I think all of us went to see a comedy and came out thinking they'd seen all the funniest bits in the trailer at some point.
I went back and watched the original GB trailer after seeing this one and it really isn't spectacular. And really, think about how you would sell that movie without ruining the best stuff? You can't. It's a tough task for sure and I don't envy who edited it or this one in the least.
Not trying to sell anyone on it or change their minds...just bringing attention to the fact that this shit ain't easy.

I can't even get through the trailer. The only thing that feels fresh is Melissa McCarthy being Melissa McCarthy, cuz you know she's not an actress, but at least she's hilarious.
not excited.
