Sounds like conspiracy theorist amateurs. Sony doesn't need to pay anyone off when an army of SJW's will defend it for free.
Oh man, I was LOOKING for this!Don't worry man, I got you

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
So basically you wouldn't have seen it if the reviews were bad. And wouldn't have seen it if the reviews were good. Interesting.

Not with my setting.
I love James Rolfe, but i find it hilarious that the dude swears off seeing a Ghostbusters film by a solid creative team, yet reviews the most recent Ninja Turtles film which was just as shit as the first.
Standards and all that, I guess.

I hope the film does well. I do wish it was a sequel instead of a reboot, but the backlash against the film is ridiculous. It's a movie.
Well I for one am glad that you popped in to this review thread for a film to say that you don't care about the reviews about said film. Well done you.

The poster was being satirical but you can already see in twitter blatant accusations of just that.
You can also see milder versions here in this very thread

All my friends keep pointing me to the Youtube guy that reviewed it with the arm tats like he's fucking Ebert 2.0 or some shit.
"Reviews are solid, guys."
"But have you seen THIS one"
"You should watch the Red Letter Media reviews"
"Have you even seen Titanfall?"

Also not surprising you find kinship with Rolfe both of you think it's very important to let everyone know that you won't be seeing it no matter what!
That video he made was not a smart move. Even worse that detractors used him as a martyr.
There is good reviews and bad reviews. Whats your point.
This is a forum, go read a static website if opinions dont interest you.

...sort of like how critics are seeing so much green from Sony.

I have two new thoughts.
1: Light Theme is still lame
2: Oh my god my avatar is so stupid

People that use 50PPP shouldn't judge those that use Light Theme. No one is perfect. Well, except for those with 100PPP and Dark Theme, of course.
Well, glad it's turning out better than expected. Still not convinced I need to see it at a full theater price, but I'll keep it on my radar now.
Still though....those trailers have all been horrible and still makes the movie look like garbage. Sony needs to restructure their advertising people if that's the best they could do.

Reviews seem pretty solid. If anyone I know says it's good ill probably check it out.

I already did a hard reboot of the BCU in spring!
I like my forums lean n mean, 100PPP is just too much
Why must you fight for the losing side
The idea that this amount of discourse is being generated by a Ghostbusters film of any description is utterly baffling to me.
Some people are talking as if they remade the Godfather with the puppets from Fraggle Rock. It's fucking Ghostbusters!
I liked Bridesmaid. I expect this to be similarly entertaining.
Catch ye'.

They should just let the international side handle every trailer. The US team is just hopeless.
LOL, someone did the same thing to me as a matter of fact. He also almost went into alt-right and SJW ramblings too but I nodded along, was nice about it and segued into a friendly disagreement on my end.

Fuck it, we've had our gospel review for a few days now. Rotten Tomatoes is useless. Movie's terrible.

His reasoning is pretty consistent, though. He wasn't going to watch TMNT 2, but saw they embraced the elements he loved about the cartoon. He sees the Ghostbusters reboot as not reflecting things he loved about the original, so he's not seeing it.
Definitely. The U.K. trailer is what made me consider that the movie may actually be somewhat good.
You got me there. I hate opinions. I'll just keep quiet and unresponsive to your sacred opinions in the future, like in a true discussion forum.

call me crazy, but I can very vividly imagine the outrage of "why the hell did they make this knock-off instead of making a real ghostbusters movie"

I keep trying to block Bronson but I get an error page followed by my internet going down. And then I go down a rank in Overwatch.
Is there somewhere I can kickstart this? Grandpa fraggle would be the godfather right? Or would you go with the trash heap? Ohhh then you even have a female in the traditionally male role.
You mocked me, instead of having a discussion with me or an opinion.
Im glad that the movie isn't a disaster, cause from the trailers thats what it lookedd like.

He made a ridiculous event video about it.
I mean do whatever you want but making some weird video about not seeing a movie out of principle or whatever was bizarre.
Like come on the title was No I Refuse like he was taking some huge brave stance.

TMNT 2 doesn't reflect like... much of anything I like about TMNT apart from the turtles' personalities. It was a fun enough movie, but a pretty bad film. James is very nostalgia driven, and while there's nothing wrong with that, it's personally a bit shallow for me. Like the new TMNT stuff has gotten a lot of hate and he was against it at first I think, but since he saw Bebop and Rocksteady in the new one that it was worth checking out.
That doesn't have a lick of more substance to me than saying "I'll go see Ghostbusters because I saw some ghosts and proton packs in the trailers." The Ghostbusters trailers are full of Ghostbustery things too.
Yep
I was super excited about the concept of the new GB but became a bit leery upon the trailers. Reading the reviews and I'm just glad it seems there's a decent, new film in the franchise after decades.That's not to say the criticisms aren't valid, no movie is perfect after all. I guess I was always a bit in the middle when it came to this.
Consistent shit reasoning isn't any better then just plain shit reasoning. He is pretty die hard about a lot of stupid shit he is just usually quieter about it.
Even if he does see it he probably won't say shit because he made such a stupid stance.
