You gotta feel bad for James Rolfe right now. Since he uploaded that video explaining why he's refusing to see the new Ghostbusters, it has triggered all the femintards and assholes calling him the same thing Paul Feig called the fans and nerds. Even going as far as insulting his wife.
Seriously, this is getting out of hand. Like Fantastic Four levels of a shitstorm, only involving idiots that use sexism as a reason for the criticism.
It looks terrible because of the following reasons:
1) The jokes are not funny and very predictable. Made me cringe and face-palm, to tell you the truth.
2) Use of cliche lines, with "That's gonna leave a mark!" being one of the big offenders.
3) Bad special effects even by today's standards.
4) Trying to be relevant. IE selfie sticks, dubstep(?) remix of the theme song, gross-out jokes, and pop-culture references.
5) Chris Hemsworth plays a brainless hunk that even women can still find sexist, as its the tired stereotype of what kind of man women want.
6) Wasted cameos of the original cast. Leaked emails even reveal Bill Murray was threatened with a lawsuit if he didn't make a cameo.
7) Leslie Jones, from what we've seen, acts like a stereotypical sassy black lady. Is that all her shtick is? Not really familiar with her.
8) Blatant product placement, including some of Sony's own products. Might say its Happy Madison levels of bad product placement.
9) Melissa McCarthy has been concerned about the production. She even said the studio told her they don't care what she thinks.
10) The main villain takes the form of the ghost from the logo. This could've worked, but it happens without explanation. (See the leaked plot)
11) So far, the ghosts are just neon blue undead humans rather than taking monstrous forms that was common with the franchise.
12) Paul Feig seems like a grade A douche, seeing as he doesn't take criticism properly. Sounds eerily like Josh Trank and his triad on Twitter.
13) Just from the trailers. It looks like it's copying way too much of the original movie, including using the mass hysteria quote.
14) To every fan and nerd, including girls. It really looks like cheap cash-grab using nostalgia and the wrong kind of girl power as bait.
If negative feedback and boycotting doesn't make this movie bomb, its competition most certainly will.
Considering how there's much better summer blockbusters coming out on the same month.
And being a fan of Ghostbusters, I am not happy with what I've read and seen. Will I see it? It's really up to me to decide.
I've talked to some nerdy women I know around my area, and even they said it looks shit.
