Ghostbusters did it again? Shushing down imdb boards

[Asmodee]

I'm waiting for it to come out on TV, because your review sounds pretty much like what I was expecting.

It's probably worth a RedBox rental.  I certainly wouldn't buy the DVD or anything.  It wasn't all horrible.  To be fair it really wasn't that much worse than any other pointless reboot.  But at times, yeah, it was pretty horrible.

Lately I've noticed a lot of the review sites with apparently artificially inflated reviews.  Rotten Tomatoes even failed to add a consumer review portion to their page for some series I was going to review there a few months ago.  Supergilr, maybe.  There was that one and one other super-hero series I had watched about the same time, both equally terrible, both with review scores in the 90s.  Either there is no longer any integrity among critics or movies and television have finally gotten so bad that even critics don't remember what a good show actually looks like.  It's gotten to the point where the only reviews I trust are negative reviews.  If it's in the 90s I just assume it's shit and the critics got paid.

I didn't like the first GB movie...

You shut your whore mouth!!!  I mean, that's unfortunate and I'm not sure why you would feel that way.


EDIT:  To be fair, and with full disclosure in mind, I never liked Star Wars.  I love sci-fi but hated Firefly, Babylon 5 and that other one that I always confuse with Firefly.  I think they were both on around the same time and both really shitty, so I can't separate them in my head.  And, to my greatest of shame, I was a HUGE fan of Stargate: Universe.  I still love it.  So my taste isn't exactly "mainstream", by any means.  Fuck Star Wars.  You bring your damned space sword to a gun fight.  Two words.  BUCK SHOT!  Early Cuyler, the lovable, racist squid from the butt crack of Georgia, could take out a slew of Jedi knights in an afternoon while stone cold drunk.

Meh, vanishingly few reboots have been worth the time required to watch them, much less the money.

That's because "reboot" means "Fuck, I don't have any ideas and I don't want to put to much effort into this.  Let's just capitalize on someone else's success instead of working hard to make a quality product."

The ghost busters movie was a racist dumb piece of shit movie. 
It wasn't funny or good it was terrible. The fact that they took Ernie Hudsons character
in the ghostbusters movie he was well educated person (note i didn't black) and turned that character
into the most racist annoying stereotype.

Stop right there. Jones character was not a rewrite of Hudson - but hey, why would we assume it's a targeted caricature replacement unless there's an apriori assumption you've already made on the part of Hudson.

Note all the ghost busters had some type of college education and they were masters
in their fields  in this is just... poor excuse for writing. 

Really? My sister and mom watched that movie and came back talking about how cutting the academic jokes were, how the movie focused on friendship and ultimately how fun the whole endeavor was.

... Kind of like how the original Ghostbusters was for me!

Yeah, I first listened to sour grapetards like you regarding the new Ghostbusters. Until real people close to me actually saw it and contradicted the narrative pushed by Milo Yiannopolis.

I guess that's when I realized I had been had.

in all honesty they have the scripts from the movies 1 2 and 3 (which is a game) and could remake the movie series since the actors are getting older.

The Thing Prequel came from a prior script that wasn't done and it was AWFUL.

Score that as a counter argument of "well they had scripts!" Yeah, so did a follow up to one of the most famous of horror movies ever made.

I couldn't enjoy the film i got maybe 1 or 2 chuckles i didn't like it at all. 
They had good actresses but.... the script was so poorly written

I didn't like the first GB movie.  I thought the editing paced the movie grossly too slow.  For me it was an excruciating watch.  Never watched the recent remake, apparently I missed nothing.

The original movie was meant to be a Dark comedy horror movie.  It's pacing was slow because hey let's be realistic for a moment 
you just can't say  oh a ghost in the library to 10 minutes later hey were ghost busters

If you enjoyed the movie all rights too you but i have legitimate criticism of the movie. Ghost busters 2 in it's  own right is a bad movie by standards but
even the original ghost busters had it's flaws but when you look at the new ghost busters and you watch for critical analysis you can automatic put it  out there.
Paul Feige made a mistake Mellisa Mccarthy great actress funny but in this movie you can take a look at her previous work and you know even in the commercials she is always put into a position that various obvious getting harmed in some way so when she was getting slapped around it's like oh.. its not like i haven't seen this before (it would have been better if she hadn't for once). Then the slime part oh i got slime everywhere.. we know we could see it the actress got covered in slam. Then there is the shoot him in the dick....-sigh-.....really out of all the places not even oh hey let's cross streams <insert pee joke here> that is better written than shoot him in the dick. Then you have the stereo  typical dumb male.. okay ill let paul feige have that one but... the CGI they used is something that came from haunted mansion the original effects that were used for the ghosts instead of something vibrant and colorful like a bright blue ghost that would have better  instead of Disney's the ghost busters. I have legitimate critism of the movie it could have been better they have the right people just not the right script.

You presented that the Ghostbusters movie, by its content, has something to do with IMDB shutting down their boards. That is a disingenuous and misleading portrayal.

It's more accurate to say the movies detractors in their bizarre quest to rail about the movie have drawn unwanted attention to the IMDB staff.

That's my problem - you more blamed the movie for its haters than you blamed its haters.

You don't see SJWs making a huge stink over DW Griffiths Birth of a Nation despite its pro-KKK outlook, nor any other controversial movie (Innocence of Muslims) on the IMDB boards at the scale that the anti-Ghostbusters brigade did.

The difference here is i don't agree with the people attacking the movie because it's SJW written all over it 
neither do i agree with the people attacking because its an all female cast. I just don't like how the movie was written 
it could have been so much more better. I seen so many reboots of older movies now they do a terrible job at rebooting a movie franchise
so it came no surprise that the new ghost busters like every other reboot had no hard work/time really put into it to make it a worth while experience. 
To simply say yes reboots just in essence are just that directors make them for a quick buck off their audience if someone where to  make a good reboot 
i wouldn't be saying this i would give the director credit and really mean to drag this into the whole IMDB boards shut down. In fact i haven't mentioned 
anything about IMDB boards when i originally posted that either you took what i said out of context or you just put words into my mouth because i said the movie bad
and other people said it was bad and that's why shut it down. I'm not a SJW i neither support them either so i don't know why you are bringing that up i'm not special snow flake
i call it like i see it if a movie bad good etc i am being honest i didn't enjoy it but people will doesn't mean i should stop seeing it. You can watch the movie i don't the power to stop i'm just stating it was badly written that is all.

You're right - I misattributed Fake Messiahs words as your own. I apologize and retract my statements regarding your position on the IMDB boards. I've no idea why I didn't notice that.

I agree that it's not your cup of tea. I particularly dislike the Star Trek reboots for not being rewatchable.

all is forgiven   don't worry about it and i can agree with you on that too. 
The classics are better but the new ones look good.

They didn;t have all that snazzy cgi to hide behind, they had to put something in there. Kindof what made the original GB cool, eh? Awesome cast, delivered their lines -and- it looked nice.

For me, Melissa McCarthey was the only decent thing in the new Ghostbusters, and I didn't even know who she was. Even then, pretty much the only scene that actually made me laugh is the one where they leave for their first ghost encounter; after McCarthey tells not-Venkman to come on, and she says "I'm not going with you", tells her that "you were never invited - I just need you to leave so we can lock up the lab". But yeah, most everything else is pretty dire; and not in terms of comparing it to the original. I mean it's just badly structured in its own right.
