Are you going to buy a theatre ticket irrespective of quality of the film?
Will your decision depend on the trailer, reviews or word of mouth?
If the reboot gets poor or average reviews will you still go and see it?
Are you so against the reboot that you'll ignore it even if it gets good reviews?
What will be your decision process in deciding whether to buy a theatre ticket?
Personally speaking my decision will depend on various things. First will be a handful of trusted reviewers that I've been following for a number of years, second will be the trailer and third will be the general fan reaction and reaction from the general public on forums, Youtube videos etc.
If the general consensus is that the film is good to great, I'll watch it. Otherwise I'm going to give it a miss even though I'm a massive livelong fan and extremely curious about it.
Over the last few years I've become more wary about sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots and I've also become increasingly conscious that when you buy a ticket to a poorly made film, you're not only funding it but you're encouraging the studio to produce a sequel to it which is almost bound to be as bad.
I know you're a huge fan of Ghostbusters and I know that like me you've been waiting years for another film but I would encourage you to make a well informed judgement before you buy that ticket. If it turns out to be disappointing you've not only wasted your time and money but more importantly you'll be funding the studio that made it and giving them reason to make another.
There are far too many examples of films that made much more money than they ever deserved and because of it they got sequels that were just as bad and even worse. I think we all agree that that's the last thing we want to happen to our beloved franchise.
I really want this reboot to be good, heck I want it to be amazing. But I'm not going to buy a ticket, a t shirt or a dvd just because I'm a fan or just because I'm a collector. This is due to the reasons I've given.
