Hate Surrounding New Ghostbusters Is the "Greatest Thing," Says Sony Movies Boss

You know a movie is bad when the only publicity they can generate on it is highlighting people's negative opinions on it, rather than being based on merit.

All female lead in games and movies now a days, everyone's trying to do something new to change this world...

...into crap.

Movie looks like garbage and none of my friends or me will be seeing it.

How's that for more stupid things being said?

So even Sony is confident that movie itself is crap.

Talk about trying to make lemonade.

"... since it was first revealed it would star four women". Way to word that. I really do not think the mass majority of the haters want to avoid this movie because the main cast members are female. It just... looks like absolute crap! It's a feature-length SNL skit. It's like a parody of the original. Comedy gone horribly wrong... and I actually enjoyed Bridesmaids, which stars a couple of these ladies. I've recommended it. All female cast. Here they just dress up like Ghostbusters and act stupid, goofy and extremely unbelievable. The original, while being a comedy in its entirety, had believable performances. It was like watching a real crew just doing their job and funny stuff happens... while catching ghosts. It was great and original. The only people I can see actually laughing at this reboot are a few years short of being able to obtain a drivers license.

This is the way they sell movies now they did the same garbage with the last starwars movie they said racist people were anti starwars now Sony is saying people who don't want to watch this new ghost busters is anti woman. I think the new ghost busters looks like pure dog trash and that's why I won't waste my money on it

So if I don't want to see it, does that make me a sexist?

If I do see it, and don't like it, does that make me a sexist?

If I do see it, and I do like it, does that make me a white knight beta male?

I just don't know what to think anymore....wait....does that make me a Democrat?

What will they say when it bombs? Will he be happy then?

It looks like they cast Amy shumer as slimmer...figures.

Well he's right and wrong.

All the negative attention is going to spread to the common movie goers that it's becoming s big deal so they'll want to see what all the fuss is about.

But then again look at CoD: infinite warfare, all the hate has given the game currently the worse preordered call of duty game in history.

The only reason I hate this movie is because it's handled by Paul Feig whose a fucking asshole and a sexist loser like Michael bay. Both use women in their movies as a means of "female empowerment" when it really damns their image.

I don't care if it has girls in. I don't care if the original cast isn't in it or writing it.

I mean star wars didn't have George Lucas or most of the original crew and that movie was great.

I only care that Paul feig is going to **** this up with is ego and incompetent comedy talent.

No Mr. Rothman we're don't you have turned a beloved campy movie into a raunchy Mad Magazine parody version with unfunny jokes and untalented hacks as actors. It has nothing to do with them being women.

I don't hate the movie, I have no feelings towards it.

It will be interesting to see how many male reviewers will give good reviews solely for reasons of fear of being labled a sexist, misogynistic pig.

Let us hope they will grow a pair and give an honest review. (not saying that the movie will be terrible or anything, but I think we all know that it will.)

Haters are not hating the fact that you have all women. Haters are hating the fact, that you are trying to make them do overacting of being nerdy. From what I have seen in the trailers.

The comedy and jokes are even worse than Sandlers. Movie might recover its cost from marketing campaigns etc. But no way its going to have even 1% of the impact the originals did. Plus, the only money the producer had to spend was on helmseworth. I guess. The effects look terrible.

Its what Pixels try to do arcade gamers. Same shit is what this movie is trying to do.

Hollywood needs to stop milking on Nostalgia. ffs.

Nobody with half a brain and respect for the Ghostbusters name asked for or would consent to see this bastardization. I never in my 30 years EVER heard a conversation with the words "I'd like to see an awful remake of Ghostbusters with terrible actresses in it". But that's what they decided to make. Literally the best thing that I can ever hope for regarding this film is that is loses a ton of money and Sony decides to never use the license for anything again since they clearly don't know how to handle it properly.

"Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?"

Sure! Your movie is a worthless pile of shit, and I will be laughing even harder when it flops and you are called out for being a retard for saying stupid phrases like you did! How's that? Sounds good.

The problem with this movie has nothing to do with it being all women.

But I've already been saying this movie is going to be wildly successful. Idiots will complain about it and still go see it. Because they're idiots.

I'm just going to try to ignore it. it's really hard though since there are trailers and other PR bullshit for it everywhere.

--some movies just dont need a remake
--i mean
--look back at the original GB the effects still look GREAT(we are talking over 30 years ago!)
--another example is "It"
--it isnt a movie that benefits from a more modern tech and mindset
--HOWEVER
--ill tell you a movie that if redone properly
--would make for an EXCELLENT remake
--Lawnmower Man
--with all the new VR tech(that actually sorta works)
--and the birth and MAXIMUM growth of internet technologies(since the original)
--rethinking that movie
--and rewriting it would HUGELY approve upon it
--plus
--the special effects in the original do not 'hold up' AT ALL

It will make money so he won't give 2 hoots...

Because of him saying "stupid things" like this, I'm now going to start convincing people to not see it in theaters (though I imagine that won't be hard).

They're totally ignoring the fans, and the new "dreadful" theme song was the last straw...

I wouldn't be so sure of that. On the one hand you do have a noisy subset bent out of shape over "SJWs" and the female cast, but I think a lot of people are "hating" on it simply because it looks bad. I am trying to keep an open mind, but have not been impressed by anything I have seen so far.

I hope it turns out good. I think they made a smart move going with a female cast, because it gives the film even more room for the characters to "reform" in the reboot. But I can't say I'm jazzed up about anything I've seen so far.

I hate how they say its because of woman actors its getting all the hate, not everyone dislikes it for that reason, heck i've never even seen the Original ones, they were way before my time, the trailers though looked awful and completely unfunny, also Melissa Mccarthy sucks as she's the same in everything, she's like the female version of Adam Sandler.

someone is either in an extreme state of denial or has taken one to much hits in the head from the SJWs because he's not making sense at all.

he does realize that nothing effects movies or any media more than word of mouth right? and negative word of mouth will kill any movie.

i feel like knowing that should be in his job description

"Can we please get some more haters to say stupid things?" Yeah, that kind of mentality instills way more confidence than actually addressing the worries of fans. I hope Bridesmaids 2, I mean "Ghostbusters", flops; critically, and commercially.

"Everything these Ghostbusters built will fall! And from the ashes of their movie, we'll build a better one!"

**** politics.
