Ironically, the man is the only semi-funny one in the movie.

Did anyone say it was? Pretty sure "mediocre at best" was the general consensus of the movie.

Because of all the preconceived notions people had long before the movie actually came out, it was going to have trouble no matter how funny it was. Even if all the critics agreed that it was better than the original, it still would've struggled.

Well, they kind of did that to themselves. "See our movie or you're a bigoted sexist" really isn't a good marketing campaign.

Also, Melissa McCarthy and Leslie Jones are just plain unfunny.

The "jokes" in the trailers combined with it involving Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and Paul Feig made it a hard pass for me. What I saw of it was so bad, I feared watching it in its entirety might result in being committed. This woman sums up the "controversy" best, by far:

Don't let her appearance deceive you, she makes some strong points (and swears a lot, iirc).

literally the only thing I liked in the entire movie was when one of them put on a wig and a weird face and pretended to be like one of a line of masks. but I still didn't laugh cause I already saw that in the trailer

It had some funny parts but yeah a lot of the humor falls flat

I don't think it has anything to do with a female cast but instead just lazy writing and a bunch of executives pushing a reboot that no one really wanted

the final ghost was pretty lame too, compared to the staypuft man. it was just a generic ghost. nothing creative
