I'm not so sure I'm that excited about it, but I'll probably watch once it's on nowtv or Hulu!

Same @gindygoo I'm interested but not excited. Will likely wait for it to hit one of the streaming services.

Watching movies has changed a lot since the days of cinema or wait 2/3yrs for it to maybe be shown on terrestrial tv.

It has to be something quite special for me to visit a cinema these days, it's just so easy to stream and usually not that long from the release.

Is anyone here going to see the new ghostbusters then?

Oh just noticed it's a Sony/Colombia film.
In which case, because it's terrible, I'll no doubt get it free through Xperia lounge...

Was kinda interested before but after seeing that trailer, no thanks, don't mess with the original

Anyone else think the start of the trailer was a bit "let's rip off jurassic world's trailers slow piano"

I rarely like remakes. When you have seen the original I tend to watch them looking for faults

Jurassic world wasn't to bad, so this might be ok.

I dislike remakes. Who thinks 'wow, that was a good movie, let's do it again' ? Just leave us with memories of the originals, my grandkids still watch and enjoy them and this movie is going to be a big letdown imo.

I think a lot of films are fine if they are ongoing in a franchise. For instance todays James Bond films with Daniel Craig are vastly superior to those made with Roger Moore. The special effects are stunning now. Compare them with earlier films...

Agree, don't mess with the originals ... @Cleoriff imho Roger Moore was the worst James Bond, I'd rather have the Big Fry man George Lazenby who starred opposite Diana Rigg, if memory serves right ... but of course luv luv Daniel Craig as 007

Well after seeing the last Bond film I think I prefer the older Bonds in terms of plot.Yes even the cheesy Roger Moore who could at least deliver the comedy moment. Felt a bit cheated by Spectre as the second half was basically a copy of the last one or two and up till that point, the plot was building nicely.

However, I'll wait till Ghostbusters TNG (The Next Generation) appears on NowTv. Too much trailer giving away the entire movie plot to make it worth going to see. Suppose if you've never seen the originals then you'll probably like it.

Which is basically my feeling on all remakes: fine on their own but I've seen the original and the remake hasn't brought anything new.

I'm not a fan of direct remakes but reboots where they use the original idea but make significant changes can be good.

Bond wise I quite like Daniel Craig in the role. Still need to see Spectre though.
