Hell no they won't
I'm actually watching The Heat right now-- not really my kind of thing but I'm laughing unashamedly so that's something. McCarthy is great at dropping f-bombs.

I might go see this after all.
He sees bad stuff all the time but he doesn't want to see a bad Ghostbusters. I don't see why it's that absurd. He said "I see bad movies all the time but this is Ghostbusters." Ghostbusters is more important to him than the shitty horror movies he watches for fun each Halloween. He complained about the title because he saw it as a "shameless attempt to bank on the name."
My god, I'm seeing people say that The Force Awakens reviews were payed off too. All part of the "liberal conspiracy".

IMDB wasn't as rabid as I was expecting (God their forum/message board format is atrocious), but I did see plenty of "Critics are scared of SJW feminazis so they give higher reviews". That gave me a good chuckle.
I can just imagine a Warriors-like group of feminists with molotov cocktails and bats standing outside film critics windows.

If we're being fair though isn't that what Hollywood does? The entire point is to bank on whatever you can.
And if he doesn't want to see a bad Ghostbusters, as much as I love it, he should have quit before he saw GB2.
Ghostbusters is not a sacred cow, and I say that as someone who has lived and breathed the franchise since 1986, when I saw the first one. The sense of entitlement the fans of this franchise have is mind-boggling. At this point it seems like the hardcore fans are more enamored with being fans of the series than they are with the movies themselves.

Yes, I spoiler tagged the links. Is that rabid enough, Agent Zebra?

should have been rated R. Also should have been a new story instead of what seems to be more of a remake.
BronsonLee

...why?!

Yeah, the previous R-rated Ghostbusters have been great.
That's pretty much how it's seen so far. Obviously, ymmv, but it's good enough that a lot of people liked it at least.

to be different and McCarthy is most enjoyable to me when she is swearing.
R rated Ghostbusters would be awesome.

in a perfect world this film turns a healthy profit and we get an R-rated spin-off or even sequel
Welp, no wonder these fucking losers will stay losing in life.
That first link.........
"Is that a lasssser?? ......... Yeeeeesssss." *in slo-mo
This is aimed at a large youth demographic though, not really a Deadpool situation.
Are these numbers usually far off or are they usually closer? I never pay attention to the top critics one tbh.
QuantumZebra

Typically the "Top Critics" are about 5-20% less than the "All Critics" reviews.
Artsy-fartsy films/Oscar-bait are usually the reverse (Top critics like them more than All critics)

I don't know I feel good R rated comedies can really hold their own financially. specially with the performers involved in this film.
have not seen the film yet but who knows. After Spy I will never hate on McCarthy again.

I might gamble on this. Maybe Wiig and McKinnon can carry the movie?

Busting no longer makes him feel good. Sad.
It would certainly work. I just don't think anyone involved with the production would be interested though. The property has reach and based on everything that has happened regarding the reboot, they are not looking to chop potential legs off.

Dude like I said he flat out says his problem with the movie isn't that it's bad it's that it's called Ghostbusters...
Implication being he might have seen it to trash it if it was called something else.
But since he has to say Ghostbusters 1984. Shit he even bitches because he this movie made 32 years after the original and 27 years after the sequel doesn't make seeing the first one a prerequisite for seeing this one, that a new generation who maybe haven't seen the original aren't required to do so before seeing this one.
He literally just cares that it's called Ghosbusters because of a lot of ridiculous things that have nothing to do with the movie being good, bad or ugly.
Coat his video all you want but the trailer being bad was not what that video was about.
Anyway I'm moving on as we aren't going to agree on this and I don't want to start another Rolfecalypse.

Yep, that's the amount of fuckery I was expecting from IMDB. Never engage with the denizens of the IMDB message boards.
Jesus Christ....
Also that Users Review score are hilarious, clearly a huge man baby with issues.

I love how the IMDB boards UI is horrifically terrible and hasn't been updated in like ten years. Even IMDB is like "We don't want to go in there"
Alex_Mexico

So; 74% on RT so far. Not great but not bad at all. That's 24% more than Ghostbusters 2.
Im definitely watching this movie.

It's honestly hard to tell which is worse, but I think IMDB moderates its message boards once every blue moon.
