The Film Stage says while the movie doesn’t reach the heights of Feig’s previous films, it’s an ideal summer blockbuster:>>>
HAHAHAHA. have you seen some of feigs previous films? a character shat in a sink. this is what we call grandness now?
the suckup ness of the internet knows no bounds. even for D list directors.
From the collider article. this pretty much sums up how feig thinks the world views women in general. so it's pretty much a statement movie.

So, yeah, mixed as all get out—which was probably to be expected when rebooting a franchise this iconic. But the film also takes time to single out those reactionary few who had a bone to pick with the movie from the word “go”, with nods to internet trolls and the like. And no, as Yamato notes in her review, it does turn this into “Lady Ghostbusters,” although it doesn’t ignore the fact that the leads are women:
The fact that they’re women never defines these heroes, but the way the world reacts to them reflects why the gender swap
is significant. When these Ghostbusters are labeled delusional by a skeptical public and smeared by a city government that slanders them for the greater good, they’re not just crazy people—they’re crazy
women, a pejorative far more loaded than it ever is when foisted on men. As the Ghostbusters have always been, they’re heroes who must prove themselves not just to their peers, but also to their audience>>
