The best part is that you didn't even saw the movie so you don't even now if it's good kkkkk (I won't watch until it get on netflix so I also don't know if it's bad, but I say the premise of gender swap only for reasons is silly, and to me it's similar to Annita Kardeshians demands on gaming industries just to satisfy her ego and end up backfiring on the games sales)

Funny thing is I'm not trashing the movie, just said I'm not interested in a pseudo-reboot with gender swap for no reason

Reading some reviews is really disgusting. I saw the film, and though it's not awesome, is way better than 2 and 3, and it's fun.

Are we *still* on the gender swap thing? If it's a bad or good movie, then it's a bad or good movie. The fuck does the gender of the bloody cast have to do with it?

Was there a necessity for the original cast being the gender they were? No! Who the fuck gives a shit. This is a reboot. They have the creative freedom to have an all female ghostbusters team, without any "necessity" to it. If they had chosen an all male team, there wouldn't have been any "necessity" to that either. It's just a bloody gender choice lol. How people manage to make such a big deal out of this is baffling to me. Who the fuck cares?

I don't really care one way or another, the premise was enough to turn me off of it.

I'm all for female leads- especially unattractive ones that you know aren't just selling sex appeal for the movie. But when you make the entire main cast of heroes women, then it stops being just a Comedy/Adventure, and startling a Bridesmaids spin-off.

User reviews...meh. I find them useless in general, even more so when there's any kind of controversy involved.

Oh, wow, there seems to be a lot of people confused about, despite being a reboot of a franchise based on fictional events, a gender swap of the whole cast should be "explained".

Regardless of what progressive-minded people would like to think, we automatically [subconsciously] relate to the characters of movies. More often than not, white males will identify with white males, Black females with black females, etc.

So when you take a franchise that was about three white guys and a black guy getting into ghostly shenanigans and gender swap them, you inherently change who the movie is targeted at. If the original movies had some female leads, it wouldn't have been an issue because they would be swapped to male leads. But there wasn't.

You can't just decide "Hey, lets gender swap a 1980's movie into a reboot", because you can easily end up with alienate many of the people who are original fans by no longer giving them a character to relate to. All the boys who grew up living GB1&2 now have to decide if they're willing to invest themselves in a movie that they will likely be unable to find a relatable character in. Yes, it's great that girls can find one now, but simply diversifying the cast would have allowed everyone an identifiable character. Instead, they gender swapped an all male cast into "Ghostbusters: Bridesmaids".
