"People just have really strong nostalgia glasses plus they hate the ladies."

I don't hate the ladies, actually, I just didn't really enjoy the remake. But stuff like this is what has made me actively hate it instead of just mildly dislike it.

Same.

Yeah, I disliked it because I found the humor tryhard and unfunny. I would have found it just as tryhard and unfunny if it had been a straight remake with the original male characters, and in fact I probably would have disliked it even MORE if that had been the case because at least with this I could say "well, they were trying something new."

oh man you hit on why I have mixed/ambivalent feelings about it. like other anon said there were a few laughs, but overall the humor fell flat for me. I didn't know any of the actors so I came in without expectations, and I liked it well enough! but I couldn't re-watch it later. it just wasn't as funny on a rewatch, the one-liners stood out painfully.

at least OPs point is still valid, that the original has some of the same flaws. even with my nostalgia glasses (it was one of my top 5 childhood movies) I can admit that some of the jokes never really did land, not in the 80s and not now. but as casts full of SNL alums goes, they did slightly better.

See, I actually was familiar with some of the actors (I'm fond of Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, and Melissa McCarthy from their time on SNL) so I went into it expecting it to be funny! And then was profoundly disappointed because that particular brand of humor just fell horribly flat for me. Like I said, it wouldn't have been any more funny if the characters had been male, it just wasn't my type of humor in general so I ended up not really enjoying the film.

Yeah, the negative-reaction-feedback-loop just ends with everyone pissed off, I don't blame you for that.

It's still wild to me though that it's still SO hated in some circles, when at worst it's a middling comedy movie, the horror.

Gotta laugh at stuff like this. There is a huge group of people who genuinely hate this movie because it stars women. The fact that mentioning that pisses you off and your reaction is to join that group in hating this movie? Is just silly. And kind of makes me think you lean more towards the misogynistic side than you may think.

(Anonymous) 2023-08-29 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Because there couldn't possibly be any reason someone might dislike the movie other than the fact that it stars women, right? And anyone who dislikes the movie MUST hate women, obviously.

Seriously. I can't stand this kind of crap. iF yOU hAtE The mOViE YoU hAte woMeN. I've always wanted to see women ghost busters, but this kind of fell flat for me.
