That's on the filmmakers for calling it friggin'
Ghostbusters. They set that standard themselves.
It's ridiculous that it's always movies that were perfectly fine the first time around that get remade and rebooted.
Robocop.
Ben-Hur.
Psycho, for crying out loud! Who do these people think they're kidding, like they're going to improve on DeMille or Hitchcock? Except they obviously don't even try; it's just a cash grab built on branding and name recognition, and it's downright insulting. What I don't understand is why people keep supporting this crap when they
know that, for example, the "
Poltergeist" in the theater in 2015 won't hold a candle to the
Poltergeist they love from 1982. If you like the original movie so much, nothing's stopping you from just watching it again instead of paying more to see a worse version. And if you want to see something big in the theater, you could give your time and money to a movie that actually deserves them.
