2. Thanks for proving my point that any critisism would be seen as sexist when at no time did I critique the movie's potential based on the gender of it's cast.

1. Why does it have to be better than the original to be good? Or even OK?
2. What's your reasoning for considering it bad? It hasn't even begun filming. There are really no grounds for any type of criticism at all at this point. Not a single person knows anything about the movie outside of it has 4 females instead of males and that they will be busting ghosts. If you watch it and you hate it, fine. But there are lots of people who are automatically hating this and there are only two possible reasons. A) Irrational hate because it has Ghostbusters in the title. B) It's Ghostbusters without dudes.
Do you not like the other work of the actresses? Have you never seen a movie featuring an actor you didn't generally like and end up thinking it to be good? I know I have.
Think they could have cast better ones? On the surface, there are probably some better choices, even if they kept it as 4 women. Still not a reason to call it a pile of poo before production even begins.
Have you read the script?
A lot of people seem to have more information that others if they're not purely basing hate on A and/or B.
