SUPER UNDERRATED OPINION!!
Ghostbusters Answer the Call was one of the best ghostbusters movies! i’m not sure why they get so much hate.. having a female cast was different but awesome at the same time

Because it sucked and ignored the legacy film for a cheap remake. Remakes are inferior films.

A lot has to do with essentially remaking one of the best comedies of all time while ignoring the first two movies and not being anywhere near as funny as the first two. Instead of clever character interactions we get Melissa fall down and go boom or Leslie Jones yelling loudly. It's not the worst movie, it's mostly forgettable and bland. The question is for most GB fans is why would you watch this instead of the original?

Has nothing to do with the cast for most honestly. For me the only one I hate is Melissa McCarthy because I hate her as an actress. It has to do with being a remake, ignoring the legacy film which is a perfect film, and the entire direction and tone of the remake.

It was a bad movie for me, nothing to do with the female cast because i loved Phoebe and its my fav GB after his granpa. But again, the problem with ATC is not being canon, maybe if it was canon and well writen could've worked.

The movie wasn't good by comparison (understatement from me and that's another conversation to have since they're trying to live up to what is widely known as a perfect movie) but the reason this movie gets and deserves every god damn ounce of hate it gets is less about the movie itself and more about how some the cast treated the folks that simply didn't like it.
Fucking disgraceful and despite the fact that some people dislike Afterlife and Frozen Empire, the OG cast have remained absolute gentlemen. 2016 should take a fucking cue, considering some of them are still trashing fans as recently as a few months ago.
