Throughout all this Ghostbusters remake hullabaloo, where was the hate train for the remakes of Robocop and Total Recall?
I felt like I was the only one that was truly livid that two classic Verhoeven movies were being tainted with boorishly CGI driven imitators, and still haven't seen either out of protest.
Yet, people were okay with Total Recall (despite the charisma vacuum that is Colin Farrell) and people even LIKED the new Robocop despite it lacking any good satire (A parody of Fox News and Bill O'Reilly? Oh my god this has never been done before!) and a fun but at the same time, plausibly gritty looking future (ED-209's in Iraq lmao)
So truly, why does the new Ghostbusters get the hate? Why the backlash against reboots now?
I assume because those two movies didn't try to orchestrate backlash against people calling them bad by associating with obnoxious political groups.

There were hate trains for both
nobody gave a shit about the total recall reboot there were alot of people unhappy with robocop when it was announced
Ghostbusters was just a bigger franchise so the reboot is getting bigger hate
Logan Hall
The trailers were competent enough. And when people, myself included, said they looked like shit we weren't called sexist bigots. Shit snowballed from there with (((Ghostbusters)))

Robocop actually wasn't all that bad. Nowhere remotely as good as the original obviously, but it was at least competent.
Total Recall was pathetic.

You weren't here when they came out.
You're a newfaggot, and probably a redditor.
That's the answer.
Christopher Johnson

Christ even Judge Dredd got shit in the beginning for being a reboot
