I'm seeing people say the trailer was really bad but the film itself was a lot better. Not amazing but good.

Thank you. My humility is only one of my many amazing talents

I saw the movie and tbh it's shit, some chuckles here and there but they are not FUNNY, and the story was like... o yeah? okay. the cringe was too much.

So a father would never look for their daughter?  Would he just have drove away?  Can he not feel the same amount of love and devotion a mother can?

That's funny, cause no one had to suspend their disbelief playing the game.  If you truly have that low an opinion of men, you are just as sexist as the director and writer of that movie.  Or the slim minority bashing this movie just because they are women.

What prompted you to see it? Did you expect it to be good? Was it the trailer that sold you on it?

Yea, I choose to agree with Angry Joe on this one, 2 or 3 out of 10.  The sad thing is because of the politicization of this, you are going to have many reviewers who are either afraid to rate it too low, which would bring SJW backlash, or ones who support their agenda, so will push the movie no matter how bad it is.  The latter you can tell when they spend 1/4 to 1/2 of the review bashing detractors as sexist trolls. 

And I'm ashamed of Sony's actions in this.  They have been removing the constructive criticism from the comments on the trailers, only leaving ones that could be construed as sexist, or are sexist, adding fuel to the flames and trying to make this a sex thing.  Don't think it's going to help, though, as this movie will ultimately fail or succeed on its own merits. 

Personally, I highly doubt it'll even come close to the 2nd one's box office, ~$243M in the US and ~$466M WW (both adjusted for inflation.)  It has no chance at all of touching the original, ~$611M in the US and ~$753M WW (again, both adjusted for inflation.)  And those totals are both with much smaller theatre count and a much smaller WW market of the 80's.  Though, the new one will have to do it without China, like the previous ones had to.

nah, just a random saturday night with my friends in nyc. I thought it was bad since the first trailer, but they wanted to see the movie and some reviews are saying good things so why not. To be fair it's not my type of humor, I don't like forced humor. 

Surely the "truth" as to whether overall it's a decent film will come out once the dust settles.

Box Office takings will tell some of the story, but then how it does on home video and what it's legacy is will tell more long term.

Most of all, we will have a decade of female cast reboots if they are what the market wants. I guess we just need to go to the Winchester and wait for it all to blow over...

I see. Thanks

Glad that it kinda bombed the chances of there being another reboot a Slimer spin off and them turning it into a franchise are pretty slim now.
