Ghostbusters the reboot (2015)

[Kete]

If it is bad, the thing that sucks most is that people will blame the cast.

Apparently word has leaked that the recent test screenings they've done have been met with abhorrent reviews. Sony is panicking and the movie basically botches everything.

I know the trailer doesn't look funny, and there are a LOT of posts saying the same thing.  Honestly, I never thought the original was hilarious...ranging from "meh" to "heh heh" on most of the jokes, but I was interested in the new one because...nostalgia.  I "liked" the original Vacation and grew to love it after watching it so many times, but the new one was god-awful.  My spidey sense is warning me to stay away, but then again...the first two "Suicide Squad" trailers looked terrible, but the third looks great.

Hmm, OK. Well googling turns up nothing. Is the forum on a fedora appreciation website?

Is anyone else puzzled by the "look" of the Ghostbusters trailer? Not the dialogue, or the effects, or the costumes, or the cast; the way the shots are presented. All of the lighting is ample and flat, focused in tight on the center of the screen. The blocking of the actors are usually in a straight line, left to right, with everyone able to turn and focus/pivot to and from whoever is speaking at the moment(This does come up in a few iconic scenes in the original, sure.) These types of visual choices tell us, the audience, that this movie is a comedy, that there is not much at stake. It will all pan out.

In contrast, the original Ghostbusters is often dark, with sparse/indirect lighting from overhead lamps or lampposts, or a flickering light emitting from off camera over the cast. The camera quickly whips from left to right, as if struggling to keep up with the Ecto-1 as it speeds off screen, always giving us some excitement and a good transition between scenes. The ghosts are treated as a genuine threat. Sure, the Ghostbusters are sort of joking about the peril they're in, but it is a heavy sort of joking, ripe with a dark, dry sarcasm. The Ghostbusters seem to just barely scrape by, keeping you rooting for them. Always the underdogs. This movie is shot like... a movie. A dramatic movie with a budget, with a director's clear vision. Like a "real movie". You know?

This trailer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3ugHP-yZXw

They are only in a left to right line a few times, and almost all of those shots are really darkly lit (the one exception is when they are outside on the street)

Meanwhile, here's the trailer for the original Ghostbusters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vntAEVjPBzQ

Almost always left to right shots until the last part of the trailer.

i hit the darn lock button sorry about that,now regarding the link i posted i ask  on the other forum i was on
where they got the info from and i posted it here without looking at it more closely again a thousand apologies.

[Edward J Grug III]

No worries. MRAs have been trying desperately to hit back at all of these movies that dare to have women in them. It's unfortunate that when one of them doesn't do well, they are going to claim success.

This is so creepy weird.  Did you think they considered "white, heterosexual, douche" in their target audience listing or is it just implied.
