then compare that to what they chose to do, which is give it new life and fuck yeah it's about time we see a film in this genre lead by females instead of males,(and that's probably why it won't set the box-office on fire)
which would you choose?

I for one find the decision to issue a trailer devoid of any jokes bold.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016)
I'd like to think there were a lot of "wait and see" people about this movie. The trailer doesn't seem to be very convincing.
Maybe it was my monitor, but did the effects look over saturated, color-wise? Would they still be working on those?

I can't remember the last time I was excited to see a comedy, period. I think I am just a humorless husk of a person.

Re: Ghostbusters (2016)
Y'know, I watched this again. If they'd skipped the scene with Melissa McCarthy getting possessed and Leslie Jones smacking her around, I'd actually be excited about this.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I watched it again. there are parts of the trailer I liked, but I was definitely expecting more. I haven't given up on it.
And it'll probably be better than Batman V Superman

This makes for a better teaser, but it's hard to unsee the bad from the actual trailer
