Ghostbusters reboot

[Reno]

That's like the childhood portion of recent adaptation of Stephen King's It now being set in the 80s instead of the 50s (like in the book and the mini-series) because that's as long ago as the 50s were then.

Whilst it does look good I think its missing the fun/comedy element that really made the first so brilliant (best cinema experience of my life)

Watching the original is a weird experience. It's not as funny as I remember and Venkman is a sex pest, which isn't really humorous. That said, this looks like an interesting take, with an 80s feel to it. That shot where Finn Wolfhard goes out into the yard is pure ET!

Looks like the nostalgia fest continues, what with Wonder Woman 1984 out next Summer. It feels the 80s nostalgia vibe has been going on, far longer than the decade itself.

To me, it looks like a perfectly competent film that I will have forgotten even exists by the next day.

Yep, was weird seeing the original for the first time in decades - Venkman is clearly a sexual predator, everybody is smoking constantly, and I had forgotten about the scene where Dan Aykroyd gets a blowjob from a ghost.

That looks quite fun. I’ll give it a go for sure.

I must be among three people in the world who never liked the original, but this looks like it could be alright from the trailer.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

It looks OK.

I think they may have spent quite sometime looking over stranger things's shoulder while in the exam but that's not a bad choice to copy.

I think the original works but it has aged (man that film stock) and Venkman's antics are particularly questionable.

I'm hoping for good things, but I am not expecting them from that trailer.
Obv they have Acroid, but without the other two that are left it may not feel ghostbusters enough. . . . mind you ghostbusters 2 had them all and that felt really unghostbustery.

I accidentally bought the DVD so might give it a watch at some point.
