Sony is suffering the consequences of their own actions. That major email leak awhile back revealed MUCH about the production and development of what was originally GB3 but how the former CEO essentially forced Ivan out of having his legal creative control of the franchise. In one of those emails, Fiege sends his concept for the film and SHE LOVES IT. They explicitly state that they want to only use key elements of the original films- the music, basic concepts, etc, but make it clear they want no connection to the originals at all, story wise.
Even before the trailers, there were emails about them planning to use "aggressive" legal action against the original GB actors to get them to cooperate with Sony to use for the film's promotions.
The worst part about Sony's reactions to the backlash, after trying to censor actual criticism, by BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, they focused on calling everyone who opposed it as being sexist, misogynistic, etc., the film itself IS COMPLETELY SEXIST AGAINST MEN!
Sony and Fiege have fallen in love with their insanity

I can't believe how much time, money, work and effort is spent on such a massive spectacle for such garbage. This whole thing is a slap in the face to the original films

i'm surprised the old cast was let anywhere near that thing red carpet. feig wants to hog all the glory and attention to himself.
I havn't watched these yet, but some more reviews
-edit not remembered in six months. i think that's being kind. one month or less. at least the stupid dance number is in the credits.
here is an obviously paid for review. they've got a red dot on this guys forehead during this whole thing. i think i may have seen five of them.
his laughter is so forced. sad
Ernie posted this on twitter.
it just hit me.. is that pascal in the back? surprised they let her anywhere near that

www.villagevoice.com/film/busted-fl...ity-dominates-the-ghostbusters-remake-8841463
found it.
these people still seem pro movie. i had a problem with this line 'It never strays far from the anodyne, generic humor that pervades the Ivan Reitman–directed 1984 original, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who starred with Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson.' ivan reitman humor is generic? I guess bill murray leading an army of troops in a song and dance demonstration number has been done dozens of times before.
so, feig models muray and hemsworth character after himself? oh please induce the throw up.
'Yet the main performers rarely get to display their individual idiosyncratic strengths. It's particularly dispiriting to hear McCarthy, one of the most floridly gifted verbal riffers in comedy, have to utter frat-brah catchphrases like "Let's do this."'
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! first off, anyone who uses the word 'brah' shouldn't be taken seriously. second...i've seen two mcarthy films. she HAS NO TALENT. it's as simple as that. next to bullock, who clearly had second thoughts about doing the movie while shooting the movie, the difference is notable!
ugh. terrible review. basically says all the people in it are brilliant, everyone older is not, and the movie was terrible.

The fact that they even put a "review embargo" on this is all you need to know

yep, it was posted a few pages back, i think. easy to get lost in the mess ;o)
you know, it's funny going around the net reading posts from people who claim to be neutral. alot of them tell the trashers 'it's time to move on with your life'...in other words, 'can we please enjoy this? your opinions mean nothing to us anymore'. being ignored doesn't help stop the trashers, bTW ;o). even more, some snarkily poke the bear with not so subtle subtext in their posts.
it's amazing how we've all reverted to 4th graders sometime in the last 7 years or so ;o).
I'm curious if there where any REAL stars on the red carpet? I saw they had those japanese music video people there...so the star power couldn't have been too great.
Wow,that was fast. The preview page still shows up on a Google search. I should have cut and pasted or archived it somehow.
