The firstGhostbusterstrailer released in March is themost hated trailerof all-time on Youtube. And there are plenty of fan videos explaining why that is. Most claim it’s not a case of misogyny, and has nothing to do with the all-female cast. Most call the movie cheap, unfunny and a misguided nod to nostalgia that is crushing whatever goodwill audiences have left for the original. Many call the 1984Ghostbustersa classic. And those who hold it in the highest regards feeldirector Paul Feigand his cast are tromping all over it. Does this latest trailer help matters? Probably not.
While chock-full of new footage, the jokes are on the same level as the original trailer, and there are a lot of tired one-liners that are sure to rankle fans. And the most decisive factor will be the big reveal of Rowan, the main villain in the movie. He obviously takes the place of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from the original movie. He comes stomping through New York, crumbling buildings as the Apocalypse is let loose. We have a feeling that true blue Ghostbusters fans are going to take one look at this thing unleashed onTwitterand cry foul.
