Why do fans even care then and why are they surprised if it wasn't even intended as a faithful remake to make the fans happy?

Fei-Hung is a "huge Ghostbusters fan" and he's able to take the film for what it is: A different style of comedy that goes with what works for this specific cast. He'll watch it the same way he watched the original "with an open mind and not so seriously".

Do you think that's awfully asinine to ask that? It's because they're fans of it and that's why they care. It has nothing to do with being open-minded versus being close-minded, rather its about not wanting something they're fans of to become a platform for gender politics. 

So what I'm getting is that some are outraged because they believe this movie's sole purpose is to be a platform for gender politics. If that's true I see why they don't want to see the movie, I guess. But just don't watch it then. If enough people ignore it a similar thing is less likely to happen again.

Though, I find it odd that many seem to be willing to give it a try when it releases on blu-ray and streaming services. If you're certain that it's nothing more than a platform for gender politics why would you even be interested in ever watching it? Because it actually may be more than just gender politics?

 

Some of you refuse to believe the reviewers even though they actually HAVE seen the movie and genuinely liked it.

I don't understand that but that's not a first. I'm often confused as to why some people seem to have a problem with everything.
