Goal post shift. People "pre viewing" a film don't "warn" producers, writers, and actors that a film will suck balls. Certainly the "warnings" started well before the film was finished. I wonder why....
Lorca: Fans Will Have To Adjust

Because people seem to have a hard time dealing with the fact McCarthy and McKinnon are every bit as talented as Aykroyd, Ramis, and Murray.
I saw it at the theater (nuGhostbusters), and thought it was pretty entertaining. Isn't that the whole point of going?
No... They're really not...
McCarthy is mediocre at best and McKinnon isn't even a blip on the comedy meter.
And that the script wasn't loaded with a sexist character like Peter Venkman who hits on women all of the time, isn't really a serious scientist compared to Stanz and Spengler, and who makes comments about an older woman having a period when she's obviously too old to have one. It just had three competent scientists and one other person who happens to have hidden talents, as shown much later. But most of the male fans wanted yet another 'passing of the torch' fest loaded with the same jokes and with (IMHO) a new set of 'Busters with three guys and one token female just like this spinoff.
I suspect in years when the show celebrates 50 and Rolling Stone re-does its ranking of all the cast members, she breaks the top five. I also think that Fey will have moved up to #2 by then.
Yeah. I never liked Chase. Other than the meltdown in CV, I can't think of anything he's done that I thought was funny. And he's kind of an asshole.
This is 2017 were entertainment exists to be dissected.
Actually Wiig is better than McCarthy and McKinnon and if I were to list both cast in terms of talent she would be second behind Murray. It's hard to really beat Bill Murray when it comes to a comedy list. Aykroyd. and McCarthy are overrated though they can be funny at times. McKinnon can be a big star IMO and just needs the right movie to prove it. Ramis is just okay as a actor but he was perfect as the character he played in the Ghostbuster movie.
To me though the talent isn't the issue. Just because you have a talented cast doesn't mean your movie is always going to be good. Sometimes movies just don't work. The cast of "Anchorman" is awesome as well and yet the sequel was kind of lacking. If they do a sequel I hope they shake things up and try something new such as a new setting for starters. Why not send them LA to fight ghost. You could even try and do something that the first movie didn't even try and that is to make some of the ghost, kind of scary.

Well he is good in the "Vacation' movies and "Caddyshack." I saw those "Fletch" movies though and didn't find them to be funny. Not sure why they were so popular. I haven't seen "Community" as of yet so I don't know if he was good on that show or not. I have also heard he is a asshole but to me that is not important. I'm sure plenty of our beloved stars might be assholes. It's something I can look pass.

Harold Ramis' genius was in his directing and writing, not his acting. His acting was "meh".
As for McKinnon and McCarthy -- judging by SNL, I'd say that McKinon has always been one of the more solid performers, like Ackroyd. was.
And (again just judging from SNL) McCarthy's performances have been some of the best things on SNL in many years. Besides the Sean Spicer stuff, there have been some very memorable sketches during her multiple hosting stints; sketches that immediately come to mind would be "Ranch Dressing Taste Tester" sketch, the "Abusive Basketball Coach Sketch, and the Game Show Sketch with the the pies to the face, and many other sketches, some of which rank up near the funniest stuff SNL has done the past 40+ years.

Certain people wanted to derail the movie, as I've said, and (sadly) they succeeded.
The Fletch movies - especially the first - are hilarious. You shut your dirty whore mouths before I order a steak sandwich, a steak sandwich and a steak sandwich and put them on your bill.
Well, he has a better idea of whether it's good or not than you, since he's, you know, seen it.
And he wasn't saying you have no right to complain, He actually said the opposite of that. He said he was looking forward to your complaints.
