I am not planning on seeing the new Ghostbusters reboot. It just doesn’t look funny to me, and I am a woman, so it has nothing to do with an all-female cast. The trailers just don’t grab me and the music isn’t something luring me there either. Many of the same reasons James Harrington’s blog post speaks about are some of my reasons.

The Husband is planning on seeing the movie because he is a big fan of Melissa McCarthy and he feels the movie trailers are indeed funny. I have no problem with this. I want him to see the movies he wants to see. This one I’m not seeing with him.
Remakes are always a toss-up for people who remember and liked the original. “Screen Junkies” had a good joke about this: why see the remade “Ghostbusters,” which critics say threatens to make the franchise unfunny and kill it, when you can see “Ghostbusters 2,” which was already unfunny and killed the franchise!

It’s not a bad movie, but it is not that good either. There are some parts that are funny and some of the graphics are good. I think they could have done a better job.
