      Of course it isn't hard. Hollywood did it for decades before this cancerous PC/SJW nonsense came on the scene. It's just amazing to see the lengths they will go to and depths they'll sink to, in order to defend such trash, despite its overwhelming failure on every level- financial, cultural, political, etc.. They've only succeeded in creating warped abominations, that can't stand on their own merit, but have to leech off of and destroy a once healthy host.

      @@Popdaddy88 They did it but not to that extend we see now. The majority still wants male leads instead of females and I simply don't understand why. What is the big deal of a woman being in a lead role in a movie like James Bond (and no hold your horses, I'm not saying they should cast a woman for James Bond, I'm talking about the genre). I think it's a toxic mindset of those producers who think women aren't as capable as men in certain roles, I don't have another explanation otherwise. Otherwise I completely agree with you. This whole "women MUST BE the leading role" and not coming up with new material for them but rather make remakes of already existing movies/games/etc. 1 to 1 instead of trying something new in that given world begins to infuriate me.

    I know it's easy to say _"Give the film a chance, it might surprise you"_, like some people say, but here's the thing: this movie has all the signs that not even the production team has faith in it. To wit:
    - The film's trailers and TV spots rely heavily on bad slapstick and yelling as their humor
    - They feel the need to wallow in controversy to remind people of this film's existence
    - The leaks confirm the production is a mess and no one is interested in paying respect to the franchise
    - There's a review embargo until release day (never, _ever_ a good sign)
    - The promotions for this film are just sad. "Buy the game and get the movie for free". "Buy these puddings and get a free ticket!". It's like they're desperate for people to see the movie.

      People need to lower their expectations, and just enjoy the ride. These are sequels that were made 40+ years later. It's astounding that they happened at all, and were even remotely decent. They got the band back together in a pretty big way, whereas we used to get godawful sequels like Teen Wolf Too.

    • @GullibleMcFly

      @@neutraltoxic For every? There are a few annoying moments. The movie got way more right than it got wrong. It's a well-made SW flick, and for a sequel 40 plus years out, they got the band back together pretty well for these flicks, all things considered. Watch the making of stuff on the DVD/blu-ray. There's a lotta good, and a lotta care was put into it.
      I was born in 1977, and I don't understand how some people were so butthurt by these movies. I love the OT but they're films, and they're not perfect. Very few are. It's a pretty big feat when they're even at least just decent. Especially these kinds of flicks. There was no way that any director who made these movies would please everyone. Even if Lucas was at the helm (even though several of his ideas did end up in the prequel trilogy, even if they weren't directly from his mind).
      And I know the prequels have become inexplicably super divisive in the last few years, but the sequels ironically have more overall classic Star Wars adventure and excitement feel than the largely boring, soulless doldrums of the prequels.

      Not to be defending Sony here, but comment can be removed for many reasons. Seeing your comment removed does not necessarily means it was censored by Sony.
      - Users could have decided to flag it, which could lead youtube to remove it
      - UA-cam algorythm can have a hickup and decide your comment does not follow the guidelines and remove it
      - There could have been a bug
      - You could have forgotten to press 'send' after sending it
      - It could have been removed by the channel owner (Sony in this case).
      So yeah, while it is possible that Sony removed your comment like you said, there is unfortunately no way for you to know. I think you are jumping to conclusions to fast, showing your lack of understanding of the way the comment system works on this website.
      I am not doubting your post. Just that you assumed too fast it was Sony's doing. It could be. It could also be 10 different other reasons.
      (And to be 100% clear, I am not an apologist for this movie, I found it extremely bland, boring and a waste of time).

The difference being in this case we're dealing with a movie company smart enough (unscrupulous enough?) to use politics to simultaneously market their movie and demonize any detractors. They've even given themselves a sort blanket indemnity: if the movie is a disaster at the box office blame misogyny. Pure Machiavellian genius.

    What do you guys think about Paul Feige addressing some of these e-mails in recent interviews? According to him Ivan was the one who contacted him for the film and was heavily involved. He makes it sound that Amy and Ivan were weren't in any sort of disagreement. The story he's selling is that that Ivan and Sony thought his spin on the franchise was good and they approved it. But there's no mention of Ivan originally looking for Phil Lord and Chris Miller to direct and produce. In fact these e-mails clearly show that he never even looked for Paul in the first place. He also keeps insisting that Sony had wanted to make this movie for so long and he's just simply hired to do it. There's also no reference to ''Glass Ceiling'' or Amy Pascal's adamant interest to make a female centered franchise.
    For the looks of it Paul seem's to playing the victim here by twisting the truth of how certain things went down. Again he has openly discussed a lot of the leaks documented in these videos, but none of it lines up with his version of the story.

    I’m not saying my actual opinion this movie but I will say that it probably would have been better off as its own franchise about Female paranormal investigators and not a ghostbuster reboot

      Yea. I like the 'goverment cover-up' part & the idea with using lay lines but this was a total Hyper bomb of BS. There was very little real haha humor. The only thing i laughed at was bill Murrys character getting blasted out the window. Other than that i wanted to shoot myself for watching it.

      The script had promise, but NOT for a Ghostbusters movie. Maybe a whole new franchise "The Tinfoil Hat Agencey" or something. But the "you must be sexist if you don't like it, since the leads are women" thing, on-top of completely trampling the franchise canon, yeah, not going to watch it, don't need to!

      the correct term is Alien Ghosts, but of course Feig doesn't realize that nor that Lovecraft had this "million dollar idea" a hundred years ago.

    "any publicity is good publicity" only when you don't piss off your target audience in the process.
    Compare video game marketing in the 1990s to 'woke' marketing you find in the 2010s to see my point.

    "While still being very funny." Followed immediately by "The whole police force will do a dance number" -Paul Feig.
    Feig reportedly broke down and cried because the dance routine as it did not work?(No shit Paul).

      Feig dogged a bullet. The summer his movie was released police officers were being murdered in the streets and troops were fighting overseas. The fallout would have ended the careers of anyone involved.

    I'm super happy that i didn't waste my hard earned money on any one of the many reboots that have been released over the past years. I personally feel that making reboots is just wasting time and money, but i guess Hollywood is no longer capable of making anything original anymore..so reboot and ruin an already popular franchise that does NOT need fixed. Hollywood??? you are pretty much useless .

    What’s the point in strong-arming the original cast members? They ended up looking less than enthusiastic during inerviews and put the least amount of effort into the film its self. Very counter-productive.
