[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;50716135] i don't have any attachments to the past ghostbusters, i have never seen then, my only knowledge of them come from avgn/james[/QUOTE] Go watch the proper Ghostbusters

Let you as an individual decide if this movie's worth your time. If the trailers aren't doing it for you? Skip it. If they do and yet the reviews are less than 60/100? Go with your gut and take a leap of faith!

But that's just it - they're close friends whom you know you share views and taste with - so their opinions are worth far more than reviews online.
i almost feel bad for my brother, he wants to go see this. [sp]no skin off my wallet however[/sp]
search twitter for "ghostbusters" and "empty". apparently a lot of people reporting seeing the movie in empty theaters.
Yep: [t]http://img.pr0gramm.com/2016/07/16/0b787bf882571827.jpg[/t] I wonder if this is true for all the theaters showing?
Not surprised, I haven't seen many commercials for the movie.

[QUOTE=Steel & Iron;50726487]Hell I saw this watching TV last night. [video=youtube;cin-bvwIaIk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cin-bvwIaIk[/video][/QUOTE]This is actually an interesting thing I've seen pointed out before: Notice how none of the new cast are seen or referenced in this? In fact, how it could theoretically be about original Ghostbusters instead with no real changes needed? I'd actually be rather interested in seeing the skew between Ghostbusters promotional stuff which explicitly hypes the new movie and ones which [i]vaguely[/i] promote the [i]concept[/i] of Ghostbusters. Because almost all of the media I've seen has fallen into the latter camp, which kind of tells me that someone in marketing doesn't trust the film to sell without almost 'tricking' people concerning the contents by downplaying the new stuff in favor of the source material.

I saw it. You need to go in with the mindset that this is not going to be a ghostbusters movie, it's going to be a typical comedy with some things from ghostbusters in it. The four main characters have no depth and are very forgettable, but the movie has its actually funny jokes. It's enjoyable up till the movie remembers it's supposed to be a ghostbusters movie and then it just turns into a big dumb mess like a star wars prequel fight scene. All in all, it's not a complete trainwreck, nowhere near the quality of the original, but it's not franchise imploding bad. FULL DISCLAIMER: I also liked Ghostbusters II.

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;50717687]Certified fresh? Holy shit helixsnake you were right, out goes RT credibility[/QUOTE] It's a statistic that's based on what critics think of the movie. RT is credible is a sense where it reports the critic consensus of the movie.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;50728557] The audience score is a 56% and dropping fast.[/QUOTE] idk why people are giving this that much credibility. you do realize a large portion of the people spamming this 1/10 on these sites probably haven't even seen it, right lol.

[QUOTE=AaronM202;50728671]Bro its only made 46 million. Internationally. In its opening weekend. Its fucked.[/QUOTE] uh 46 domestically here in the states, 65 internationally. But I'm pretty sure all of the international counts don't come in entirely until like monday or tuesday following the weekend, so I'd wait till then to actually say for sure. But yeah it's not got a chance in hell of breaking 500 ~imo~

Instead of subtly accusing it of something it's innocent of, research on how the Tomatometer actually works.[/QUOTE] I agree but it is worth noting that sometimes they are weird about awarding it for films that are on the threshold like this. take this for instance: [url]https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_bfg_2016[/url] the average rating between reviews is a 6.7, that's even higher than the 6.5 that ghostbusters currently has. So it is a bit weirdly subjective at times. But as long as it doesn't drop below 70 and they still call it fresh then I wouldn't call foul regardless.

I read 46 million internationally.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=main&id=ghostbusters2016.htm[/url] note how the foreign page isn't filled in yet with a full break down. usually that all gets filled in on either monday or tuesday, and the cash totals jump a bunch then. I'm not saying it's out of the question this could tank, I'm just saying at least wait until we get the full stats for the first weekend in. Tho even then I'd also want to see how it holds up on it's second weekend, since how well a film does on subsequent weekends is a huge part in determining its success.
