Ghostbusters reboot with all-female leads

[crows]

I honestly have to wonder if the female ghostbusters were all hot women, if you all would be bitching the way you are. I know crows wouldn't.

As for Chris Hemsworth, so what if his character is stupid? How many times have there been dumb women in movies? Dumb secretaries? Airheads? It's a comedy. The crotch thing is one of the oldest shticks there is. Jackass pretty much makes whole movies of it. You're making too much of this.

Anyhow, I have no desire to see this, and I don't care how it does at the box office. It's going to do better than most have thought though.

I have to deal with enough nerd hate about a movie I'm really looking forward to next week, Star Trek Beyond. Here's hoping it blows this movie off the top (and it will be on top after this weekend, sorry).

hey, to be fair all my dislike has been about Leslie... I mean, give me a little credit por favor

Isn't it a little sexist to call them non-hot?

The point if they going to reboot an iconic comedy, Tried putting some effort into it. Instead of giving us a one trick pony ( Girls rule BS) and stale and rehashed jokes that belong at best in a C list comedy. Ghostbusters deserves better than this lazy and hollow film.

Come on! Leslie Jones is so hot!!!!!

The hobbit thought so :

McKinnon has a pretty funny cameo toward the end.

I just mentioned you because of a comment that you made in another thread, which I can't find, about how you wouldn't care about them changing male roles to women as long as they were hot. Something of that nature.

No I mean, judging a woman by the patriarchy's unrealistic beauty standards is sexist, isn't it?

yes, if they made iron man a sexy black lady i would be fine with that
IF they had Emma Stone working in this movie and trashing the fanbase, that would have break my heart....

judging any human by those standards is sexist. yes, it's like, why cant we have Jack Black be Spiderman or Thor?

Because the MAN has told us you can't be fat and healthy at the same time, so you have to starve yourself to fit in these standards.

Just saw it

5 on 10 at best, had some good parts mainly the cameos and it started off well, but the over story and final scenes are just bad

However I laughed a couple of times and thought it was more entertaining as a whole than batman vs Superman

interesting review, it sucks but it is too important of a movie to not see

Donkeys running in circles is more entertaining than BvS.

I realize no one really knows there are two different kinds of reviews at RT

The only people who care for RT scores are internet warriors who need to back their opinion up with facts to decalre their opinion right in the majority.

You mean the scores? Yeah I used to say it all the time. The one that matters is the tiny one

I think part of the problem is that the issue has gone beyond the film now. The filmmakers, stars and studio heads are all pushing it as a socially progressive and significant document, while there seems to be blatant misandry in the film. If it's so progressive, then why are all the men dumb? Seems hypocritical to me.

I think everyone has forgotten the opening scene in the original. The blonde airhead girl doing the psychic test.
I don't get what the contextual difference is. Cliche blonde bimbo/cliche blonde himbo?

The original is like the OT, it's immune to criticism.
