Some dude on YouTube has recut the trailer to address things like too much plot reveal, unnecessary shot length etc.
I liked the first trailer but have to admit this recut version feels more like what a trailer should be. Not just for Ghostbusters but generally. There does seem to be a trend in modern trailers to give too much away.

Apparently if you don't like this trailer it's because you're sexist.......

Those were some of the top hits when I googled "Ghostbusters trailer reaction".
Gotta love lazy journalism about lazy filmmaking.

Ahhhh! Although nobody farts, falls over, makes jokes about poo and bums as Melissa or another woman would be doing it in a film as Ghostbusters 2016.

It doesn't hold true for everyone but, if you've been following the development of this film, it's hard to ignore the amount of sexist derision being aimed at it. It is there.
There are, of course, people who have entirely valid non-sexist reasons for their dislike of it but it isn't as black and white as saying "everyone who doesn't want this movie is sexist" so yes, that is definitely lazy journalism.

Grit and scariness?
The original is set in the grimy New York of Taxi Driver and the proper film photography has a graininess. This is just digital and dayglo.

There has been a hell of a lot of sexism about it, but I would say some of that has been lazy criticism. Some people pick on the most obvious thing when throwing an insult (shut up you fat plonker etc.) so I think some of it has just been 'these women are ruining it', 'stupid women' etc. When its been some fans frustrations that its not got the same/similar cast as the original
I don't dislike it because they are women, or because I am a ghostbusters fan (which I'm not really) - I just think it looks awful. But then if we all loved it then it would be a pretty boring world wouldn't it?

This one throws a few more cheesy lines in there.
The walking into door/not being able to open door joke really didn't go down well with me.
As well as the crowd surfing bit.
Definitely prefer the original.
The best trailer of the lot is the fan made cut one imo.
Has anyone seen this yet?
Is it as bad as the trailers look?

Don't wait for me!
Is everyone over the fact that it's all women yet? Good.
