Yeah their whole schtick was 'it’s ghostbusters in spaaace but women !

it brought absolutely nothing new to the table and expected to be lauded for a gimmick.  And I don’t mean that casting an all female cast was a gimmick, but  they cast an all-female cast and *treated it like a gimmick.

They literally built their marketing around it, like we were strange beasts in a zoo, come see the females in their movie! marvel at them! marvel!!! It called itself revolutionary and simply peddled the same tale that honestly got old as hell in the 1990′s of “women are treated like shit and then have to fight for every inch of respect before bringing down straw misogyny”.      I don’t need that shit in my movies. I fucking live that shit IRL.   

The special effects were crap and the plotline was paper thin. It dove headfirst into comedy over any soupcon of substance. It was a half-baked and poorly executed movie trying to feed off the nostalgia of a legacy franchise with a bit of stirred up contention.   It was Ghostbusters II with the genders swapped.

  It had a decent cast, and some middling talent behind it, coulda been a fun B-movie surprise (like Spy or Zoolander) and they just went for the lowest effort imaginable to grab a quick buck and fucked it in the arse, then blamed misoggyknees when people called it for the turd it was.
