The original car was a rust bucket. They rebuilt it and MADE it “sexy.”

Exterminator start-up companies aren’t allowed to have shitty looking cars?

Why does this movie NEED a sexy Ecto-1? So it can be more like the original? Is that what you’d want to see in a reboot? The exact same thing? If it was the exact same car, they’d be “ruining the legacy.” We’d instead be asking “Why didn’t they do something DIFFERENT?” If you’ve already made up your mind that the movie has no chance, then you’ll always be upset.

And as far as the motorcycle is concerned, we’d be far from the first people to do that.

And the T-Rex was already in the videogame.

But who cares who’s “first” with any of this?

I for one want this movie to be as different as possible. Heck, my biggest problem is that the logo is the exact same as the original. A slightly modified logo would really set the whole thing apart. I want new characters and new adventures. Not a pandering half-assed “update.” So far, I’m thinking the movie will be “meh” at worst, and “fun” at best. But so what? As long as they’re doing something different, I think it deserves a chance. That’s all. Just a chance to do what it wants. The quality (or lack there of) will come through in the final product. There will be plenty to discuss then.

The roof light is still terrible, but in this photo from the IMDB page I kind of definitely don’t hate this:

That’s a perfectly fine Bebop and Rocksteady. Aside from Rocksteady not looking like Aaron Haaland, that’s pretty close to their first appearance in the 88′ series.

The Nick series has a much more radical approach to them than what I’m seeing here.

That. Is too legit to quit.

Honestly love the new look of the group, as a whole.

Oh, we’re getting a reboot for a reason.

>Fans have been clamoring for one since 1992 and Dan Aykroyd has been trying to make it happen.
>Sony didn’t see any value in it.
>Harold Ramis dies. Outpouring of love from fans all over the world.
>Sony sees dollar signs.
>”Let’s make a Ghostbusters movie!”
>”But you can’t without Harold Ramis.”
>”Hmm… Let’s reboot a Ghostbusters movie!”
>”…is that what people were asking f–”
>”NEVER LET AN OPPORTUNITY GO TO WASTE!”

This is the biggest Nostalgia grab money grubbing reboot I’ve ever seen/ heard of.

Anything that can be technically called a “remake” would by definition be a bigger nostalgia grab/money grub than a “reboot” I think. When you just straight up remake a thing, you are saying “I have nothing to add to this property, but I would like to make money off of it.” At least a reboot has pretensions of new content or ideas. Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes and Tim Burton’s Willy Wonka come to mind as being remakes. That Vince Vaughn Psycho that was a shot for shot remake. That’s just poor.
