The original was great for so many reasons, cast and chemistry being a huge part. Witty one liners rather than the potty humour that passes for comedy these days. And it does need to be as good or better, your messing with a classic, haha. They are counting on fans of the original spending hard earned money and it would be an insult to take that money and damage the legacy.
I just think that they are trying to ride coattails too much these days. Substituting CGI for story. In your face comedy instead of thoughtful humour.
What do you think, will it be awesome? Crap? Or just no opinion til you see it.
Or are you just trying to pick a fight today?

All good points, much of which I agree with. Remakes/riding of coatials. CGI vs real sets and story. Dumbed-down comedy. Not much originality from Hollywood these days. All of it is true. Doesn't mean that some don't shake those things.
I really like Ghostbusters, but wasn't born when it came out so maybe it doesn't hold the same holy status with me. Most of my early Ghostbusters exposure was the cartoon. Even if this is straight up terrible, it won't stop me from laughing at the original. If it's somehow better, it still won't change my opinion of the original.
I carry no opinion until I see it. I don't see how it could be any other way. How can you hate, or even have an opinion on, something that doesn't even exist yet? Even two ugly people could have a handsome kid.
