Hmmm
Not sure, nothing was too out right funny, nothing was too deadpan funny, nothing was a subtle joke it was a little bland on the humour so i really hope that wasn't the 'best' bits and they are saving some funny stuff
Thematic wise its very much a remake, despite all the random conflicting stuff, from the original statements of it being a separate entity that barely references the originals, its gone straight to what almost seemed like a fan made movie, and there are already a lot of Ghostbusters franchise movies, i'm kind of back to my original misgivings and wish they'd just gone to be a straight sequel, because from that trailer it seems they pretty much are.
"You white people may be educated and smart and stuff but just like the originals made decades ago ima be the token black person."
I'd argue its even worse than the original movies, Ernie didn't even seem as uneducated as that made her seem, he seemed to be an average Joe with later on a bit of an understanding* - hate to say it but it seems they went straight to portray her as loud dumb ghetto black woman, which is a terrible racist stereotype to go to for a cheap laugh
*the expanded media - the video game and comics even had him get a degree in the field so he was far from an idiot
This entire process has been a rollercoaster for me, i'v gone from being unhappy with the casting as i dislike McCarthy with a passion (hurr durr look i'm fat and fall down) and unhappy it was a remake with the only similarity being the name, to getting over that and thinking perhaps a reboot could be good and maybe with the right script a distant remake will either reinvigorate or be easily ignored, to having mixed feelings on it looking like a carbon copy of the film with altered jokes and an all female cast just because Feig has some weird female only movies fettish
I mean come on they even had a freaking Elanor Twitty Library Ghost with an alternate colour scheme with them basically doing a fan portrayal of that scene
I don't know what this movie is aiming to do now? be a slightly altered story remake?, a spiritual homage?
but i do want to see more, still want to give this a chance, i want it to be good, maybe this is a second Batman Vs Superman trailer type thing? bad trailer editing?
