Ghostbusters!

[Kyrl]

I will when I can bootleg it.  That doesn't make my response to "The problem is comparing it to the original" less valid.  If you don't want people comparing it to the original, don't make a reboot. 

[Blurr]

Look I'm gonna say to each their own as I always do but I don't think its fair to judge a movie just by nostalgia for the originals or the fact that it IS a reboot. I'm not the only one who likes it. A TON of people do. All I ask is that when you DO finally see it, be willing to at least give it somewhat of a chance.

That's what we did with a reboot of my little pony. And look where we are now? (Not saying Ghostbusters will produce the same thing just making an example)

[Kyrl]

I'm not judging on nostalgia.  I'm judging on another soulless reboot produced to print money because the studio is too scared to produce anything original.  I'll give it the same chance I gave Terminator Genysis, which turned out to be equivalent to bad fanfiction.  I won't give it my money though.

[Blurr]

allrighty then

Also, comparing it to MLP is a poor man's argument.  MLP has had 4 iterations (5 if you ask certain people) and each one has been completely different from the one before.  G3.5 is largely despised by even the people who grew up with G1.  G1 ponies is so far removed from G4 that the only thing they share is the same names and the fact they have talking horses.

Alright. I'm getting hell from multiple ends for liking the movie and I'm too tired to keep arguing. Sleep tight kyrl. Pathans well resume tomorrow

[Silverwing]

I'm fine with people liking it.  That's great.   I'm just going to stick with my original plan, and not watch it.

Here's the thing Blurr. You can enjoy the movie, there's no problem with that. Just don't go trying to tell people a shitty movie is good. I can enjoy cinematic masterpieces like Birdemic, but I'm not gonna tell people it's actually a good movie.

[Blurr]

Is it really fair to call a movie shirt when you haven't even seen it though?

[Blurr]

And I'm not trying to tell people they're wrong flat out or it's a good movie. I'm just trying to encourage people to have a little bit more of an open mind for it, despite what it is. Whether seen in theaters or through the. Et.

Guys, guys.  Everyone has their own opinions.  Some people like Napoleon Dynamite and call it a classic, others don't get the humor or don't like it.

Same with this.  Just let the poor guy enjoy his film and lets not get on him about it. He is simply stating, that if someone has an open mind, and want's to see something, go check it out.  It's not being compared to the original in his mind.  Just view it as it's own separate entity.

Sort of like Teen Titans Go.  If it was it's own entity and not compared to the original Teen Titans, would it be that bad?  (yeah.. kinda)  The thing is, both those shows appeal to different audiences, just as this new movie may do here. 

[Death Blossom]

Hence why I said, it's okay for him to enjoy it. I don't really care if he likes/loves it. As it's not skin off my back.
As for open mindedness, I'm pretty open when it comes to movies, but I draw my limit. Trailers are supposed to sell you to an idea. I having not seen the original can't even compare the new one to the old one, and even then I'm like "Mmm, yeaaaaah no."

But to each his own. Just don't try to tell me it's good when it ain't haha. If it's the "so bad it's good" variety, then hell to the yeah I'll go watch it just to make fun of it. Because that's fun.

Sharknado.  Possibly the great piece of art in our time.

Truly the best Hollywood has ever produced XP

I did end up seeing the movie with my girlfriend.  She wanted to see it for some reason.  We went to a morning showing to save mucho money.
