Has anyone noticed a reoccurring theme in all the positive Top Critic reviews for this movie so far?
Alison Willmore - BuzzFeed "Remaking this beloved film with women as leads is an act revolutionary enough to attract the ire of legions of Ghostbros insisting that the very concept will warp time and space to retroactively ruin their childhoods."
Liz Braun - Toronto Sun "The idea that an all-female ghost busting team might be a problem is rubbish; the idea that Leslie Jones’ casting is racist because she’s not a scientist is rubbish; the notion that remaking the movie could only be bad is rubbish. What is true, haters, is that girls really do have sharp teeth all up in there. Sorry."
Barry Hertz - Globe and Mail "Why so many (mostly male) fans of the original series decided to take up arms against this reboot in the first place is a mystery. Well, maybe not so much a mystery as just a dispiriting reminder that misogyny is alive and well on the Internet, where it can metastasize to gross extremes with zero justification."
Manohla Dargis - New York Times "It’s hard to know if the movie started off being as meta as it now plays, but when these Ghostbusters are labeled frauds — or crack jokes about ugly online comments or take on a fan boy from hell — it sure feels as if Mr. Feig and his team are blowing gleeful raspberries at the project’s early sexist attackers."
Robert Abele - The Wrap "Ignore the haters – the new gender-reversed superteam, headed by Melissa McCarthy, turn this nostalgia-heavy update into a diverting summer comedy."
Looks like a fun summer blockbuster. Go cry to your world of warcraft guild

shame based marketing and virtue signaling mob mentality

1) Have rights to beloved franchise. 2) Remake it, not with new ideas, but with an ALL FEMALE!!! cast. 3) Internet misogynists can't resist the bait. 4) Film gets gobs of free publicity and is critic-proofed. 5) Film goes on to make more money than Titanic, but not Avatar. 6) More ALL FEMALE!!! reboots ensue.
I'd like to congratulate you all for being fucking retarded. Go celebrate with capeshit.

This movie was already fucked the moment it was banned in China. There is no way the box office return will be anything short of a disappointment.
Jace Allen
Maybe if we make 50 more threads here and on Reddit about how much we hate this movie they'll stop using so-called "haters" to promote it!
Henry Scott
>more money than Titanic >without the chinese market I don't really think this is possible.
Josiah Carter
>s-stop pointing out the bias in reviews! >this only helps them... uh, somehow
Fieg, get the fuck out of here.
Zachary Ramirez
Holy shit, China is literally going to be our savior from the SJWs
Nolan Peterson
why was it banned in china?
Gavin Jackson
Shit what? Explain user I didn't her anything about that
Oliver Flores
animal cruelty whacking make up and clothing on a gorilla
Easton Martinez
They have a no-ghost rule in their media. It's part of a censorship ban they have on anything that promotes superstition or cults.
Charles King
Why is everyone so damn shocked that this reviewed well? This is exactly the type of movie that reviews well in this day and age, regardless of the gender of the cast. The idiot general public love lazy generic low brow humor.
Ryan Brooks
But it's not reviewing well. All the positive reviews drone on about not as good as the original, underwhelming ending, etc. The one positive thing they have in common is what OP said - they're great for shaming and virtue signaling.
Jordan Cooper
kekked
thanks. dumb gooks
Jaxson Nelson
They're just bringing the bantz after we made a huge issue out of it.
Andrew Foster
i just dont understand people who are closely attached to this franchise. im like, 'ghostbuster' ok, whatever. nobody seemed to like the sequel anyway and that had all the original people in it. the first movie was good but it wasnt THAT good. there might be some decent laughs in the lady ghostbuster film, in fact, im sure of it.
Jason Gonzalez
>bantz >WAAAAAAAH THIS IS ALL MENS FAULT THEY ARE SUCH BIGOTS JUST GO SEE THE DARN MOVIE
Grayson Rivera
Did you read any of it? It's bantz. White nerds are one of the few minorities left you can roast openly on media.
Nicholas Sullivan
>people like movie >review it positively >bias
Fuck off, retard.
Robert Ross
Damn rt is a fucking parody these days. Thank I stopped watching new movies years ago, because everyone's pushing some retarded agenda.
Michael Butler
you have a very low standard of banter m8
must be an amerifat thing
Austin Sanchez
I'm not saying it's good bantz, but they're roasting le angry misogynist nerds partly because we wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.
You don't start a war then whine when the other guys show up.

>a war
lmao a little self important aren't we?
People didn't like the movie, now they are boogeymaning and desperate as fuck
Their shit-tier """""banter""""" is more sad than anything else
If this was a war they would be the aussies and we would be the emus
Carter Torres
fukken based china
Luis Morales
If you don't think there's a gender war going on then don't call me the fucking cuck.
Evan Mitchell
>a gender war >over a movie
kek who let this MRA faggot in here? women reviewed it almost as poorly as men did (3.9 to 5.1)
its just a shit movie
Oliver Gomez
ETHICS IN FILM CRITICISM/JOURNALISM
Josiah Green
>he thinks there's no gender war Enjoy paying child support for your wife's son that you're not the father of, but you took "fatherly responsibility" for, while paying out over 100% of your income in alimony because the judge feels you can earn more than you do.
Elijah Kelly
Pretty hard to ignore such a massive elephant in the room. I have literally never been a part of a discussion about this movie wherein the gender reversal was not the primary focus. How can you possibly expect critics to ignore that facet in their reviews? It would be like writing a paper about the Holocaust and not mentioning jews.
Jace Butler
>he believes in the holohoax
Samuel Smith
> it sure feels as if Mr. Feig and his team are blowing gleeful raspberries at the project’s early sexist attackers.
hmmm this is interesting to say i wonder if they changed bits of the film just to say fuck you to all the fan boys of the originals
Ian Wilson
>he still hasn't figured out that this shit is tailor-made to piss easily-baited "dudebros" off
And honestly the way you fucking idiots conduct yourselves, you're never GOING to figure it out. You might be on "other side" of all the feminist faggotry, but you're still playing their game.
>ZOMG GUISE CAN YOU BUHLEEV WHUT DEY SAYIN BOUT US???
Yeah you're a fucking tool even if they weren't there to bait you.

You guys are just plain wrong. You are the patriarchy. You're just jelly and shieeeet :^)
why are so many """""men""""" in america whiny pissbabies these days?
if this film was released in the 50s it would have been a giant hit, just because men were far manlier
Ryder Evans
wtf i hate baby men now
Jace Stewart
>feminists start going full retard >movie isnt even out yet >movie proceeds to bomb >they cant backtrack lolll
Adrian Lopez
mmmm boys
Adrian Martinez
That must be why this thread is almost 2 hours old and it's literally fucking nothing at all, just the same 3 clickbait interns trying to "start a conversation" and failing uphill
Andrew Reed
SJWs are stretching so fucking far here.
Jesus Christ this is embarrassing.
Jace Wright
Odds are if it was released in the 50's it would be banned for satanic imagery, and people would complain about having a whites mixed with niggers.
Jonathan Adams
Is that why it's taken so long for Marvel to make a damn Dr. Strange kino?
Brandon Butler
>people make a bad movie >they personally attack people who don't like the look of it, in a very obnoxious way >I will be pleased when their financial venture fails
At what point am I "falling into their trap"? I bet you're the type of person who thinks the main aim of ISIS is to make the world more 'islamophobic'.
>Heads up, men’s-rights idiots. The film that is set to retrospectively (sic) ruin all your childhoods has finally arrived. Can the all-female Ghostbusters do more damage to the franchise’s reputation (never that high in Clarke Towers, anyway) than that wrought by the unnecessary appalling Ghostbusters 2? Maybe, this incarnation will be a feminist classic to compare with that Chilean film about the lady shepherd.
Just another "Us vs Them" moment in the culture wars; it's fucking sad.
