A different tone, I think. Reboot feelings aside, it's pretty clear the marketing folks are trying to figure out the tone they want.

I'll start this off by saying that my opinion of the first trailer was that it looked ok. I thought it basically was around what I was expecting. The jokes weren't the best, and some of them (power of Patty) really soured with multiple viewings.

That said, this trailer makes the movie look REALLY fun. It's still a reboot, at least in my opinion, until I officially hear otherwise. That's really my only issue, as I just wanted them to continue the original story in some way (even tagging in alternate dimensions or something). But this looks like an enjoyable movie to me.

[Alphagaia]

That was worth spending some mb's to see a chopped up version. Rowan looks fantastic!

[JediChris1138]

So I'm a little confused now... the last movie trailer made it seem like we were going to take the Ghostbusters frame and remake it in a Zoolander type way, so we got a slapstick style film. This new trailer looks like they're trying to split the difference and have something between original Ghostbusters and slapstick remake.

Hopefully the tone of the film is consistent, the writing and comedy is smart, and the characters are relatable.

All feelings on reboots, gender politics, tonal and camera style shifts aside, if the job a trailer is to provide you with a straightforward taste of what kind of film you are going to get, I'm not sure this did the best job. I'm more confused than ever about what kind of film we're getting - but based on the feedback I've seen on this site, this seems to play a little more to the style of the originals whether to it's benefit or detriment! Fascinating to consider.

I caught that in my second viewing and cracked up. Demonic ghost coming by. Selfie!!!

I don't see any semblance to the originals at all. To me, it is entirely consistent with the first trailer. In fact, I think if this had been released as the first trailer, it would have received just as much negative feedback.

[Kingpin]

The odd cringe note or two, but otherwise I really dug that trailer.

[GhstbstrLMLIII]

I know I'm sour on the reboot idea so that may be clouding my judgment, but this trailer did nothing for me. I still think the ghosts look overly CGI, and I didn't find the jokes funny. Further, at this point, I have seen all of Patty Tolen that I care to. She's been shown as nothing more than an unfunny "mad black woman" stereotype.

So, what you are saying is you plan to stay home? Okay. That's cool.

Is it really suppose to resemble the original? The Fly 1986 is nothing like The Fly 1956. This trailer is receiving just as much hate as the first one and I think that's completely unfair because I think it's a much better trailer. But as they say Haters are going to hate no mater how childish or irrational that hate might get.

Not entirely. I've already got my tickets to see the original when it comes back to theaters in June.

Anyone tweet #ghostbusters and receive the free no-ghost logo emoji?

[Ecto_1X]

So is it now called Ghostbusters : Answer the call? I'm so confused.

[skankerzero]

Honestly, I don't really see any difference from the first trailer.
Perhaps there was less jokes and more creep factor. Most likely because there are more completed effects now than before.

I honestly thought this trailer may have shown too much off. We see Rowan and the actual possession of Kevin.

[Egon's Pompadour]

I failed to anticipate that "Rowan" would be comparable in size to Stay Puft. Of course! Why wouldn't he be? There's not an ounce of originality in this entire movie.

I've noticed several people in this forum using the word "irrational" incorrectly. There's an endless sea of insults out there at your disposal if you're itching to find one. I suggest becoming familiar with a dictionary.

[Tommi]

I love the new trailer, sooo much better than the first!

[Alphagaia]

I get people are angry and looking for a fight, but I'm finishing my vacation in Spain with a pina colada in hand, while sitting in a free WiFi zone and a brand new Ghostbuster trailer on repeat. I'm as happy as a clam.

[Sav C]

The first trailer was kind of dull, but this one looks much better! I think it helped that the original theme made an appearance, since the electric/modern version really isn't to my tastes.

[Zeke]

Irony is that at the 50 second mark a main character forces herself onto a crowd of people who aren't interested and when she falls flat on her back she criticizes them for being racist or sexist. I think that scene pretty much sums up this movie's entire PR cycle.

[JurorNo.2]

Much better than the first trailer. It's not going to replace the originals for me (duh) but it does seem like it could be fun.

[devilmanozzy]

I like the trailer most of the three of them. But...

Why did they have to use the "Erin is Slimed" scene again? Same goes for the Jones "I don't know if its..." scene. A cameo from one of the old actors from GB1/GB2 could have been a nice touch.

But the fast pace, more action intense trailer is the way to go. Comedy in new parts was a bit better as it doesn't slow down the pace of the trailer too much. Ghosts are selling it for me. Still on-board with seeing it twice.

[EddieSpenser]

They managed to show the entire film, including the last scene.

[GBfan77]

Right, because a 5' 5" Rowan would be way more intimidating. It's Ghostbusters, when have they not dealt with giant monsters?

No, I think irrational is very correct. Tell me, what is so rational about haters posting comments like "My Childhood is ruined!!" or "This trailer gave me Cancer!!" and I hope with all my heart that those people who say that crap will one day get bitch slapped by someone with Cancer.

Sure, I could resort to name calling. I know a few good ones. But unlike some of the haters (Or vast majority depending on your point of view) I'm trying very hard to be adult about the whole thing. It has not been easy when you've been accused of being paid off by Sony or being a Bot.

[GBfan77]

I disagree, something like that you want to save for the movie.

[Not404Error]

I really wanted to give this movie a chance. I've enjoyed Bridesmaids and Spy, so I was hoping it would end up like those -- initial impressions were very "meh," but the actual movies were pretty good.

I love Ghostbusters. Favorite movie of all time, no questions asked. Didn't care about the casting choices. All female? Whatever, who cares. Reboot? Ehhh... interest waning. Reboot with the same logo, same name, and "30 years later" shtick to attempt to appeal to '84 fans from the first trailer? Okay, I'm annoyed, but I'll look past it.

Now, this trailer comes out -- and, honestly? What the f***?! If it's a reboot, don't use the same plot devices the first two did. Don't use the same f****g firestation. Don't replicate both movies scene for f****g scene.

I'm done with this movie.

Movies like Ghostbusters use a certain formula. The sequel used that formula as did episodes of RGB and the video game. But I think you'd be done with it no matter WHAT they did. If they didn't use the fire station or similar plots, there would be people complaining about that too. It's impossible to please everyone.

Your post appeared to refer to mine, considering that you quoted it and offered no further context to your claim that 'Haters are going to hate no mater how childish or irrational that hate might get.' Nothing in my post was irrational. I've heard people use that word as an insult much like those whom call people or things "ignorant" in a nonsensical manner. Their ignorance of the word's proper usage is amusingly apparent.

I've been defending this movie since it was first posted.

If you're making it a reboot, make it a true reboot.

[Havoc0213]

It wasn't fantastic but it was better than the first trailer. Still, I wish they would strive to be different if it is supposed to be a reboot and disconnected from the originals. With the appearance of Slimer and the use of the firehouse, it feels like they are relying way too much on nostalgia to carry the movie.

[JurorNo.2]

At this point we're in the "Can't Win" phase. Either they're too much like the originals, or they're trying too hard to be different.
