Rotten Tomatoes gave it a good score while most of the casual audience disliked it while the core audience refused to watch this movie to begin with?

While I believe people should stop depending on "Professional Reviewers" to figure out if whether or not a movie or video game is good, I think it's quite dumb how Rotten Tomatoes gave this crap movie a 73% rating, which is even one percent higher than Forest Gump so let than sink in for a minute.

Most of the reviews that Rotten Tomatoes gathered are from pretty biased SJW "Professional reviewers" who praised the movie based on it's political motives rather than it's actual story, acting and overall movie content. It was obvious that the director rebooted this film to deliberately piss off the original Ghostbusters fan base and male audience with this SJW feminist crap being shoved down our throats, when the GB fans could have gotten a movie sequel that they've been long asking for but instead were given an unnecessary SJW reboot that no one ever asked for.

I don't have anything against female Ghostbuster members as protagonists of the film at all as long as the film was a sequel and respected the original movie while the female Ghostbusters were brand new characters mentored by the original Ghostbusters members but no, instead we get a deliberately misandric and insulting reboot which I don't get what Paul Feig(director) hoped to have accomplished with this trying to make women "even" with men by making all the male characters complete idiots when the original Ghostbusters movie never made any of the female characters idiotic. All it did was bit Paul Feig back in the ass by having his GB reboot bomb in the box office, which he deserved for his and Sony Pictures' stupid decision of not handling criticism well at all and resorted to pulling the "misogynist" card on the critics and insulting them and core GB fanbase(which happens to be very predominantly male).

The hate train was pretty well deserved considering Sony Pictures and the director's intention of insulting the potential male audience and forcing their 3rd Wave Feminist agenda down on people's throats.

Nah, he really only did this after they'd already outed themselves. It never looked like it was going to be some great movie, but the reaction it got was the same kind of reaction you'd expect from a sympathetic Hitler biopic with Rob Schneider in the lead role.

It has a good rating some reviewers were too scared to give it a bad one for fear of looking sexist, which was revealed as a Sony marketing tactic, while others praised it for being socially progressive. The film itself, which I'd watch if it was on NFI but wouldn't pay a dime for, is supposedly mediocre at best so it should have at the most a 50% rating.

That shouldn't factor into its ratings.

A claim which makes no sense given its great ratings which clearly weren't impacted by any hate.

After seeing the quality of the writing in various previews and reviews, anything above 0% is an over-estimation of its quality. Paul Feig is an absolute hack that's only capable of entertaining dumbasses that also like the crap Chuck Lorre pedals. Not to mention that Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones can only play the same respective character over and over... God help us if they team up with Ben Stiller and his two different characters...

From what I've heard about Paul Feig, the guy is a cuck who suffers from self-hatred of being a male after being bullied a lot in high school by jocks or just by boys in general and then decided to take a jab back at "misogynist men" by trashing a classic movie franchise.

Don't judge a book by its cover (I know the haircut may cause some of you concern) with her, it's the best video I have seen about the 2016 tragedy in question. She rails into the morons hard. She also swears a lot, so kinda NSFW in that regard... But yeah, I implore you all to watch this. It's honestly the fairest assessment of the situation and really is on point in many ways. Her comment about it being a "false flag" feminist issue was perfect.

LOL! You sure are one easily trigger-able special snowflake, are you? Did you completely ignore the part where I mentioned that I have nothing against female Ghostbusters members as long as it respects the original movie and didn't deliberately insult the GB fanbase with SJW BS?

The biggest problem with any argument involving "SJWs" (I can't think of a better description, sorry) is that they are fanatical in their views to the point they admit they're opinions but enforce them as facts due to some misguided moral high ground, whereas like anything in life, the truth exists somewhere in the middle most of the time.

Well, it's difficult not to insult such people since they sure love to start flame wars and insults with people who disagree with them. After all, some of these same people who I disagree with and insult are usually the ones that want to legally and socially silence people for "offensive" or "wrong" opinions(basically anyone who doesn't subscribe to their SJW philosophies).

The thing is, there's a painfully obvious truth to the SJW agenda theory of the Ghostbusters reboot since many of their advertisements flat out throw in "Girls Rule" or "Women are funny, get over it!" messages, even when the majority of the people harshly criticizing this movie aren't sexist and mostly criticized this reboot for disrespecting and disconnecting the original movie with cheap jokes, most of which are allegedly deleted by Sony Pictures so they can find the 1% of the comments that are genuinely misogynistic, to fit with their SJW narrative. On top of that, Sony Pictures threatened/blackmailed Bill Murray with litigation/legal action if he refused to make any cameo appearances in this movie.

Oh, I don't doubt that the movie did have something to prove on Paul Feig's end of things. For Sony it was a cash grab. As the girl in the video I shared pointed out, Sony just used the ignorance and drama in the hopes of salvaging their shitty attempt at a movie by playing up the angle of "like or you're sexist" - which is bullshit and anyone who fell into that trap is a person I could never respect as a human being.

It's not a terrible movie but like most franchises that hollywood feels they need to 'reclaim for women' or whatever, they would have been better served making a new franchise altogether.

While I believe people should stop depending on "Professional Reviewers" to figure out if whether or not a movie or video game is good, I think it's quite dumb how Rotten Tomatoes gave this crap movie a 73% rating, which is even one percent higher than Forest Gump so let than sink in for a minute.

The movie wasn't terrible, but the jokes weren't as good as the originals, the editing was woeful and they tried too hard to make references to the originals (eg. the entire plot) while showing us how new, fresh and crazy they all were. Trying way too hard to be cool isn't cool.

Most of the reviews that Rotten Tomatoes gathered are from pretty biased SJW "Professional reviewers" who praised the movie based on it's political motives rather than it's actual story, acting and overall movie content. It was obvious that the director rebooted this film to deliberately piss off the original Ghostbusters fan base and male audience with this SJW feminist crap being shoved down our throats, when the GB fans could have gotten a movie sequel that they've been long asking for but instead were given an unnecessary SJW reboot that no one ever asked for.

Aside from a little butthurt bias, this is pretty close to the mark. Lady execs and actors of hollywood, make your own thing-there's plenty of good writers/scripts out there if you get off the sequel/reboot train long enough to try, you can do whatever you want with it and won't have the majority of these issues.

rotten tomatoes doesnt give it a score, the reviewers do.

average people might not like it because they compare it to the original films and dont think it holds up.
Obviously they could just think its a bad film, too. that is fine.

But, a reviewers is less likely to do this. So that could account for the skew.

It's not like butt hurt, "anti-SJW" types that were frothing at the mouth the second they announced an all women reboot of Ghostbusters could POSSIBLY have tanked the score on the other end. I still haven't seen it, but people I know, that were huge fans of the original said it was decent. Not nearly as good as the original, but not nearly as bad as people were acting like it'd be.

Can we just agree that the movie was terrible but also that there was a lot of unjustified hate against it as well?

I never saw it because it doesn't interest me. I didn't blindly hate it because it has women in it though.

The vast majority people aren't hating it because it has women in it. Most people hate it because of the obvious intention(SJW motive) behind gender swapping the characters, disconnecting the movie from the original(disrespecting that) and flat out insulting the core audience. If messages on the Ghostbusters 2016 advertisements saying "Girls Rule, Women are funny, Get over it." aren't SJWish or Radical Feminist to you, then I don't know what is.

If this was about "sexism/misogyny"(two words that get constantly thrown around a lot on the social media these days, the same way the word "racist" is thrown around a lot), then explain to me why multiple movies with female leads like the Alien franchise, Kill Bill, Wonder Woman(live-action) and Mad Max Fury Road were all beloved by movie audiences and a huge success while Ghostbusters 2016 flopped and was hated by many.

Fat chick.

=/= ghostbusters

No props to the 80s this movie was beneath trash it was worse that Sahara.

And THEN they had s pig as a character....


I gotta say: the fake ghostbusters cartoon of the 80s was a real slap in the face to all us ghostbusters fans. Who saw the movies that's why they then called the actual cartoon the REAL ghostbusters.

That shit knob rip off cartoon was at a minimum 10x better than the remake.
