Bustin’ Makes Us Feel Good: Our Final Thoughts Going Into Ghostbusters

Tommy Tracy’s Take:

The new Ghostbusters is quite possibly the most intriguing and controversial summer blockbusters to ever grace the movie going public. Whether you’re a huge Ghostbusters fan (aren’t we all), don’t care about it at all or are somewhere in the middle, you’ve undoubtedly heard about this new remake and most likely have a thought on it.

1271033 - THE WALK

Personally, I think there are three sides to this tale. The first are the minority of sexist males who just don’t want to see women succeed. These people are wrong. The second are the people who think everyone who doesn’t think it looks good are sexist pigs. These people are also wrong. The third group, and I think this is the majority here, are those who think it either looks good or bad just based on the trailer but nonetheless are intrigued by the thought of a new Ghostbusters flick.

And that last group is what I fall into. I personally don’t think Melissa McCarthy is all that funny, but am a big fan of the other three ladies. And like other people, I wasn’t too impressed by the first trailer. Yet, a trailer can only show us so much. Remember how awesome the Prometheus trailer was? Yeah, look how that turned out.

My expectations aren’t that high based on that trailer, but in the long run, I want this movie to succeed because if it sucks, we have one good Ghostbusters film and two bad ones. Not only that, but as a fan of the film, why wouldn’t you want it to be good?  If it isn’t good, you still have the original to love and cherish. It won’t degrade the first film because that first film is iconic and loved by all. No one thinks it’s going to live up to the original and I don’t think the four ladies and Paul Feig are trying to make the original.

Take that for what it’s worth, but if you’re a Ghostbusters fan, you should want it to be good. If it sucks, it sucks but we should hope for the best. And if you’re hating it because it has an all-female cast, well, I can’t help you.

Who ya gonna call?

  1. I was not a fan of the first two trailers, but I have to say the trailers that have played on TV for the past month or two have really changed my mind about this movie. Checking it out on Saturday, hoping it’s going to be awesome.
