It wasn't *that* bad.

I loved Ghosbusters as a kid, but some people are way too defensive over this franchise. The first one was a terrific film that caught lightning in a bottle, but you want to know what else sucked? Ghostbusters II.

Oh come now!  The Statue of Liberty suddenly gaining joints and being able to move across the water was nothing short of cinematic genius!

I agree that the original Ghostbusters theme hasn't aged all that well, but this new song... this movie is checking all the wrong boxes.

 

But you know the worst part of this new remake? The original has a 67 in metacritic. This abomination could be "better" than the original!

That's a goddam dirty lie! It's a perfect example of "Mandela Effect"! The original has like a 97% positive rating!

 

You take your filthy tongue and bite it for saying something like that. Then, you take your filthy fingers and BITE THEM for for typing that post!!

Trust me, I feel your pain.

That's not very surprising considering a lot of movies from the eighties and nineties that are considered classic have low ratings

But 67?! That's way too low.

I'm assuming you hating on it aren't aware of Fall Out Boy.. It's pretty much their sound, and they have some level of popularity for younger audiences. Plus.. its Missy Elliot. anything with her is NEVER considered bad. lol

Also.. It's not a remake..  A few of the lyrics are similar...  but "I'm Not Affraid" is the focus point of this song..

Sounds nothing like any FOB song I have ever heard. Not that I am a fan of their music, but it's not normally vomit inducing, like this is :)



Meh it's not terrible, in fact it may be the best thing about the movie so far



                                                                                     

That was, unequivocally, garbage. That is a terrible combination of artist (individually, they are alright) I would have respected them more if they just used the same song as the original, or an updated version but this is just awful. And I actually like FOB, or their albums From under the cork tree and Infinity on High to be specific, but I cannot get behind this.

FOB trolled themselves with this song. What a waste of talent :(.

Could be worse. Jumanji has a 37. Ghostbusters was a way better movie than Jumanji but still..37 would be unplayable if it were a game. 

Jumanji wasn't a great movie, but it wasn't bad enough for that terrible scrore.

One has to wonder if the same that happens with videogame reviews also happens with movie/music/etc., how many of those reviews are actually made by critics and how many by haters or attention seeking loosers.
