Review of Ghostbusters (2016) by Striderkiwi — 14 Jul 2016

Even ignoring the fact that the original is a cinematic masterpiece, and the reboot is female comedy cash grab akin to Bridesmaids, Heat and Spy, a tonal shift that just does not belong in a grand remaking of a beloved iconic series, Ghostbusters deserves to bomb for being sexist towards males (i kid you not. Apparently that's a thing now. Just look at how the people involved label any and all haters who lob warranted criticism at their film "misogynists." The film itself carries the exact same attitude in plot, characters and theme.

You know it's bad when Sony debut's the second trailer on facebook instead of youtube to avoid due criticism (which didn't work), then wine's and dine's most of the critics to make it look like the film's actually great when they know it's not, THEN start to hire these random youtubers and other media personnel to fake positive experiences with the movie and again shovel their "anyone who doesn't like the movie is sexist" response.

No fans or potential fans deserve this treatment. We deserve better. Don't see Ghostbusters. Just wait till it comes to redbox.
