I like the "look" of the ghost effects but there's no way in hell I'm sitting through two hours of Leslie Jones.

Way better.

There's no "is it the hat or the wig?" scene. So... nope. Dislike.

That wasn't so bad. I didn't hurt myself laughing, but that didn't insult my intelligence.

It was the biggest laugh I had, that's for sure. I love KM. I think she's gonna make this thing.

I especially like the "I'm not smart like you white people but I'm super urban" line.

I have no idea why they went for a reboot. Sequel would have been much better. "oh, old ghostbusters can't do anything anymore so lets train some new ones"

like star wars! :)

The trailer seems to imply that they recognize the events of the first two movies.

Yeah, that's what they've been calling it, but the beginning of that trailer implies otherwise.

During the scene where Kristen Wiig's character 'Erin Gilbert' is being introduced, there's a quick shot of her white board and if you take a closer look you can see that it contained countless formulas and other research into the world of the paranormal. At the top of this board was a odd formula - [Pa/RA(NO*RM)alS + UD1es/Lab]com - which translates into paranormalstudios.com, and leads to a hidden viral site made for the Ghostbusters film featuring a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the tech the new set of heroes will utilize in their upcoming film.

It's a reboot and all they are doing is "Hey remember the originals!?"

McP and LV will have field day with such comments when i love star wars but whatever.
