benjamine6 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I expected, and all of my friends expected, and most of the commenters on the trailer videos expected that the new Ghostbusters REBOOT would get a big fat zero or only a tiny slimmer higher on Rotten tomatoes' Tomatometer. BUT... I recieved a reply to go check the tomatometer, And to my shock, early ratings put it at a 74/100! Holy crap! So.. I assume it might actually be good...? I don't know. I can't even believe what i'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noir Angel Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 It'll start tanking as it gets more reviews from watchers, as people that aren't shilling start speaking up. Sonne 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kyle Subscriber¹ Posted July 11, 2016 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 11, 2016 I don't think that RottenTomatoes has been accurate with their meter in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 And there's some suggestion Sony have been astroturfing the movie pretty hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted July 16, 2016 Global Moderator Share Posted July 16, 2016 boxofficemojo has it estimated at $17.2 million for Friday, they tend to estimate things higher than they are, I bet it's lower. We'll see how it finishes the weekend, they're going with $46million but I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceship9876 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) It only has a 55% viewer rating on rottentomatoes.com. It used to have 77% rating for reviewers, now it is down to 73%. Imdb score is only 4.9/10 rating, if you remove the 1 star and 10 star ratings it has 5.9/10 which is not good. The movie cost $144m to make and they have apparently spent over $100m on promotional costs. If it does make a profit it likely won't be much.

Torolol Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 yea, this should be lesson for movies studios outthere to not recklessly make retarded reboot just because the movies was a gold mine in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'm saddened by all of this, not if this movie sucks or is great, but it means we will never get a proper sequel. Anyhow, I think Sony used the few spiteful reviews on Youtube and SJW rants to their advantage to get people talking about a mediocre movie for far longer than it warranted. In two months hardly anyone will remember this movie, and much less will even care if it was good or not.

ThisSiteHasLostItsCharm Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 actually because it was so bad, they might make a proper follow up to gb2 but with the original surviving cast, i can see that happening more than a sequel to this mess.

Just going by all the complaints of the new movie, Aykroyd's comments and rumors, i did read on some site (can't remember which, was some movie news site) a short while back that ideas were being thrown around about a proper sequel....could be something, could be nothing.

I think the movie would have worked a LOT better if it had been a generational handover thing, with the surviving original cast looking for a new team to restart the business. I don't think anyone would have objected to an all female team then. +virtorio 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone would have objected to an all female team then. I don't think that would have made any difference. The issue for me was the tone. I didn't think it was a bad film by any means but it wasn't in keeping with the previous installments. Kate McKinnon was tedious; Kristen Wiig was too dopey; Leslie Jones played a tired, exaggerated racial stereotype; Chris Hemsworth's role was completely over-the-top and exaggerated, though he had a few decent moments. In terms of a female cast I think people like Amy Schumer, Tina Fey, Amy Poeler, Elizabeth Banks, Jennifer Aniston, Oprah Winfrey, Ellie Kemper and Kristen Schaal could have worked if the tone was more in keeping with the original.
