I'm exactly the same way. It appears to better than I had feared, but not good enough to see in the theater. Netflix seems like the perfect compromise for me.
[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread

I saw it today, and I actually totally agree with that reviewer. If you swap the old and the new movies, at least.
New Ghostbusters wasn't -bad-, it was just... eh. It's another comedy in that same style of improv comedy where you have a cast of funny people ad-libbing funny lines, with a plot that's really only there to give them a reason to ad-lib more lines. That reviewer mentions SNL sketches, and in thinking of that, that actually is exactly how Ghostbusters 2016 feels... a long SNL sketch.
It's not terrible. It's not that great either. If a friend hadn't paid for my ticket, I would have happily waited to watch it on tv or Netflix. I feel like they could have called this Ghostbusters Movie and no one would have been able to tell the difference.
I have a feeling if it hadn't been for the warring extremes online, this would've come and gone and been forgotten like numerous other remakes/reboots. That could still happen depending on whether or not it does well.
Sony wants to turn this into an expanded universe project because they're desperate to have one. With Ghostbusters it could kinda work though; different teams in different locations. Imagine a Ghostbusters team in a Ringu/Ju-On type of scenario.

Yeah, Hasbro has had multiple meetings about squishing Transformers and the rest into a big EU, too. Everyone wants a piece of the Marvel pie.
Except Hasbro has arguably been doing it for years, with various Transformers/G.I. Joe books. A movie for that would be simple to make as well and they know it's a winning combination already. I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't happened yet.
I mean, they already focus too much on human characters in Transformers. Might as well make the humans people will recognize.
Basically. I'd much rather we have Joes than... whoever they have now.

Not in these movies. Elsewhere, I'd agree.
Hey, I saw that movie. At a drive-in. In Detroit. Double-featured with Hustle & Flow.
Still haven't seen the original yet, though.

Those are the actors, AshburnerX is talking about characters.
maybe i can't recall the character names in transformers because everything was so daggum loud!
don't forget generic.
"Metalface! Transform into Shredcrumple before Laserdrum hits you with his Astrochomper!"

The funny thing is, those all sound like names of obscure Transformers characters that could possibly exist.
He's thin in the IDW comics if that helps any.Why is Dirk Gently thin in the upcoming movie? He's overweight in the books.
... well fuck. I guess I'm watching a lot of Nickelodeon between now and Thanksgiving.
Guy Ritchie certainly has a style. Kind of amped it to the nth degree here, though...
I believe it's actually a new TV series on BBC America.Why is Dirk Gently thin in the upcoming movie? He's overweight in the books.
I didn't find a trailer, but I did find the ComicCon Panel:
Btw, do we have the original picture before @Cheesy1 got a hold of it?
Yeah, I'm definitely all-in for that movie, Ritchie's style is great and there's a lot of solid acting talent in there, too.
The Roose is back on the loose!
And we have the only DC/WB movie I plan on seeing.
A solid cast, taking place in the same universe as Godzilla 2014. Kong has never been this big. They seem to be ditching the gorilla shape for something more like the original movie. I'm nervous this will feel like 70s Kong, but I'm on board anyway.
I recall hearing that they intend to do just that sometime in the future.
Not just think--it's been announced!
We'll get Kong: Skull Island in 2017, then Godzilla 2 in 2018, and Godzilla vs Kong (new title) in 2020.What's funny to me is that when Toho sets on doing Godzilla movies, they bang 'em out one a year. So it's possible that by the time Godzilla vs Kong is out, we'll have five new Japanese Godzilla movies, if Shin Godzilla (also new title!) meets expectations in Japan. Doesn't matter who sees it here; they don't give a damn and it'll only be out for like two days in few theaters.
And then in phase three we'll get "Jet Jaguar: Civil War."
We already have Pacific Rim.
New trailer for Shin Godzilla (I really wish they were releasing it as Godzilla Resurgence in America like they are everywhere else in the world; we're not special, we didn't need to keep half the Japanese version's title):
So happy to see this much suit work and animatronics. 5 days until Japan's release, so probably 6 days until I watch it with English subtitles through ... means ... and then I look forward to seeing it in theaters whenever Funimation gets around to that.
The music makes me wonder if Big Fire is behind this...
