What's scary is to think that someone could have tried to remake The Blues Brothers with women instead.

Thank God they only defiled Ghostbusters.

Personally glad it flopped, now we won't have to suffer through a back to the future reboot.

I was supriced that John Travoltas movie "Battlefield Earth" was a flop back in time.

Completely unrelated to the gender thing, it's quite possibly the most UNfunny movie I've ever seen.

Movie looked bad from the first trailer I saw. I didn't waste my money on it.

Reboots don't always flop but a majority do because big egos get the better of people.

Hurr, durr, the movie did not fail because of the casting (the featured gimmick and only real premise of the movie) it failed cuz it was bad.

Of course a movie with an all female lead cast could be good, if the all female casting was coincidental or necessary. Thing is: it wasn't. No affirmative action film is ever going to be as good as a film that bends to artistic constraints first instead.

The movie failed because it was nothing more than an attempt to join the feedback loop of one of the creepier "social activist" "movements" of our day to generate what the illuminati at the top of Sony felt were guaranteed profits. In a sense attempting to use DARPA brainwashing for their movie's marketing campaign.

Point sustained.

So you think it would have been better with one or two female ghostbusters? Don't you think it's sexist though by its nature to suggest having an all female cast is a probelm? It shouldn't. We should be blind to gender when judging a movie.

They remade a full male cast with a full female cast in an era of social justice and gender issues at the forefront of many political issues. It is absolutely not sexist to point out that they politicized a movie reboot.

This. The movie and its subsequent marketing and promotion was politicized by Sony Pictures.

Unfortunately SJWs couldn't carry the whole thing on their backs, and now everyone is left disappointed. The consumer, the creator, and the investor.

can't imagine having such an intense vendetta against a silly movie
