>Cheesy special effects. >A forgettable villain. >A terrible script.
The Leslie Jones character wasn't even intended to be played by Leslie Jones. She actually brought the racism to the role herself...

it's Richard Roeper you imbecile

I really wish somebody would post a fake siskel and ebert review as ghosts calling it shit, but it's a little too on the nose.
James Evans
Somehow I really doubt that. McCarthy's character was mean to be the awkward fat one from the beginning while Jones was the stereotypical black woman.

It's interesting to see how some shitty cashin hollywood remake is being infused with tumblr identity politics and anyone who doesn't like it is a redneck shitlord or something.
This is coming from leftists who normally complain about CORPORATIONS.

Doesn't Roeper know that the truth is a thought crime now? He needs to be taken to the reeducation center and given sensitivity training.

I was just thinking the same thing. On one hand the critics are sucking it's dick so he is going to hate it, on the other hand massive amounts of people think it's shit so he might say it's great. I can't wait to see what it will be.
He better say that he loves it. It will make all the other critics question themselves.

>It feels a little like this "Ghostbusters" was a cultural test that we (not the movie) have already failed. Feig's film may be a feminist milestone: a big ol' popcorn movie taken over by women (something that should have happened long ago and engendered far less vitriol). But it's also simply a breezy good time, one that just happens to culminate with four very funny ladies shooting a monster in the balls.
>"Ghostbusters," a Columbia Pictures release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "supernatural action and some crude humor." Running time: 116 minutes. Three stars out of four.

Yeah obviously the movie is only getting good reviews because they are being paid for by feminists or part of the feminist agenda. It can't be that the person actually enjoyed the movie.
Yeah is this how far we have fallen? I has hoping this stupidity would die when the reviews started coming out.
Josiah Baker
Oh so this guys from Britbongistan and is a femininist mangina ? Shocked.

They literally don't allow movies with ghosts in them over there. TY based Chinese superstition.

Ian Brooks
That argument would hold weight if the positive reviews didn't specifically mention misogyny, etc being taken to task by these ladies.
If the reviews just said "fun movie, good comedy, great effects, decent plot" or fucking anything relating to Ghostbusters as a film rather than a part of a social movement, then I'd buy that this is something people can enjoy. But it seems all the positive reviews are agenda pushing.
Jaxson Jenkins
The Chinese perceive this movie as being disrespectful to the dead? They don't even know about the bust of Harold Ramis in the opening scene. Oh the irony.
Christopher Diaz
People are probably just tired of how low the bar has been set for RT reviewers. When Buzzfeed bloggers and Stuckmann can get their foot in the door, it starts to lose its credibility.
You look at movies like London Has Fallen, and every other review was "The perfect film for Trumps America." Every review now has to have some sort of slant to it, whether its political, social, whatever is in at that moment.
Few review films objectively anymore, it's gotta be framed through some sort lens that distorts everything. I could care less about whether Ghostbusters is "certified fresh" or not. My issue was that if you read a handful of those reviews, it was clear they were written weeks in advance as a social statement first, then added a few sentences here and there to prove they actually saw it.
Connor Wilson
No. They just don't like women
Charles Stewart
They hate black people, women, and ghosts.
Cameron Foster
They don't allow anything with ghosts because they "promote cults and superstition"
It has nothing to do with respect
Jeremiah Richardson
I believe it's agenda pushing for NO money. Reviewers are acting without integrity by NOT informing their readershipin a nonbiased manner, basicly their job, you know, like they're supposed to do, because they think the SJW agenda is more important. The same goes for most of the mainstream media. They do it for free.
Joseph Walker
nigga looks like a burnt out Toby Jones
Bentley Phillips
holy shit
Hudson Davis
It's definitely not all paid off, though some reviews like "The movie of the summer!" or "The idea popcorn family flick!" seem pretty suspicious in the "Critics" section. Most reviewers probably went into the movie already knowing they would give it good reviews, either out of righteous indignation or compliant groupthink.
Carson Campbell
>he changed his website because "Badass Digest" was too triggering
Liam Robinson
This. Sony didn't have to pay off critics to shill, their marketing tactic of shaming into compliance/"us vs. them" got the momentum it needed to guarantee a good RT score.
Josiah Harris

That's because that's how they MAKE the films.
They come with an agenda attached already, be it "stronk womyn", "diversity", "tolerance", or whatever, the Jews in Hollywood are concerned as much about the agenda they're pushing as they are about anything else.
Hunter Morgan
The only spook to be found in this movie was Leslie Jones.
Robert Perry
Really? What's the story there? Is "triggering" literally just a new version of MPAA rating now?
Nicholas Green
>because they think the SJW agenda is more important.
This.
Isaac Thompson
Is there anything about Faraci that isn't sad at this point?
Nathaniel Martin
The notion that critics of the film were sexists was created by the supporters of the film who were either too delusional or invested in the movie to see it for what it was. So to them the narrative of all detractors being sexist seemed believable.

>People on twitter/facebook trying to discredit Richard fucking Roeper over this review.
Christian Diaz
Pretty much. To a lot of these people, the fact that "lots of little girls will be dressing as Ghostbusters this Halloween" is more important than viewing the flick through a critical lens.
Mason Wood
This is the most blatant one I've seen yet.
Not surprised in the slightest. They knew before they even posted the article that there would be scores of people wanting to call them on their bullshit.
Landon Hall
This right here. They're wearing their biases on their sleeve, and not even trying to hide it.
Julian Fisher
Devin Faraci is legitimately retarded. He confirmed on twitter that he thinks you are automatically sexist if you don't like the movie, and he doesn't think that logic is "crazy"
Nicholas Brown
Sony further fueled that by deleting critical comments from the first trailer while leaving sexist ones...

>Old straight white male hates the new Ghostbuster remake What else is new? Meanwhile the movie is getting a better rating every hour, it's almost at 80% now and you know it's going to reach that mark soon. Furious man-babies will keep pretending that that's not that good a score somehow, but you can't argue against numbers, and you can't argue against the fact that feminism won. Face it, it's 2016 now and if you don't like the Ghostbusters remake, you're on the wrong side of history.

its also why the positive reviews are more concerned with discussing the dreaded "hater trolls" than actually discussing the film itself.
So far the negative reviews have been the only ones I've read with any substantial information about the film. Where as the positive ones just hit a checklist of vaguely defined praise n buzzwords.
Also its come to my attention that "film maker" turned professional shill and apologist for heartless nostalgia retreads Kevin Smith has seen the film and said its great.
For me at least that's all I need to know that this will be garbage.
