Wow. People who haven't seen the movie and continue to insist the movie is bad couldn't get any more pathetic at this point. Stop trolling.

Selectively choosing reviewers to prove your point wouldn't fly with the mods here if we were talking about Uncharted or any other video game that was positively received, in fact, you would be banned for trolling and constant downplaying, and I freaking HATE uncharted. Go ahead and do the same in one of the many metacrtic threads we have here, and tell us how, a game you never played and that got reviewed positively on metacritic, actually sucked, and I promise you will get banned for trolling.

I watched the original ghostbusters movie once and I could easily tell it's one of the most ever rated average movies I've ever seen. If I watch it 5 times I'd throw up. The fact that the reboot is being positively reviewed despite the templates it's supposed to mimic tells you just as much, you should know by now that the movie just hasn't aged well. So I have to ask for the 10th time, why are you so pathetically butthurt?

Not to mention, the Ghostbusters' alleged untouchable legacy was already cheapened with the 1989 sequel. Get.Over.It.

If I watch the movie and dont like it, do I get My money back? And make sure it dosent count towards their box office count. Cuz that is the thinng about voting with your wallet. Theres no way Im going to support something that looks awfull. I watch this for free when its out and if I end up liking it, Ill watch the sequel when its out. The same we do with video games.

And its not randomly selectively choosing reviews. there are some outlets that just click with you, they tend to like the same games or movies and you know you can trust them. For me it was gametrailers, angry joe also resonates with me, so I tend to trust them. Its not always 100%, but most of the time we sahre the same opinion.

Another thing is that its not just a couple of reviews its all eviews that are split in 2, the ones who think is average and the ones that hated it. and I tend to agre that the ones that think is average just say that because they want to promote female leads or just dont want the backlash of being called sexist.

Or could it be the movie is just ... average? Which by the way is the same thing Ghostbusters II was. 

It's like the brain can't comprehend that reality for some people. 

For 80s toy properties (and yes, that's basically what Ghostbusters became, a toy brand), I'd rank the new Ghostbusters above Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Ninja Turtles, also better than other 80s reboots like Robocop (bleh) and Total Recall (meh).
