Someone had to do it, right?

This week’s episode of Honest Trailers takes on this year’s all-female Ghostbusters reboot – a film that somehow managed to outrage people who hate reboots of classic films, internet trolls and 90s nostalgia fanboys in just the first trailer alone.
Suit up for a fine yet forgettable comedy, which some people treated like the coming of the apocalypse, ultimately prove that girls can make middle-of-the-road studio mandated franchise reboots just like the boys.
The trailer starts out with a message warning viewers that, “The following video contains scenes from the 2016 film Ghostbusters.” and busting on Sony Studios.
This is followed by examples of people hating on the trailer and even a cameo from Donald Trump screaming, “And now they’re remaking Ghostbusters with all women? What’s going on!”
We even get to see a side by side comparison with the movie Pixels, which looks very similar to the third act in Ghostbusters. There’s something strange…about that.
Don’t forget that there are a total of three jokes about soup and four different dance numbers, while every character tries hard to play the role of comedic relief at the exact same time.
Hemsworth though, you can’t even try to say one bad thing about his character, Kevin. They’re lucky they didn’t go into Slimer territory either. He is, after all, the 5th and most important Ghostbuster.
In all seriousness, the film had a loss of over 70 million, so it’s safe to say that we won’t be seeing a sequel ever, even though some of us really enjoyed the movie. You can get the special edition Blu-Ray in stores now.
