Trailer Review 015 Ghostbusters' Second Trailer
Ghostbusters [071516]
Chance of Success = 65%
Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) and Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy) are a pair of unheralded authors who write a book positing that ghosts are real. A few years later, Gilbert lands a prestigious teaching position at Columbia University, but her book resurfaces and she is laughed out of academia. When ghosts invade Manhattan, Gilbert reunites with Yates, teaming up with a nuclear engineer, Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), and a subway worker, Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones), to save the world from a mysterious evil and powerful demon known as Rowan (Neil Casey).
(Director Paul Feig [Spy], Budget $154 Millions -> Box Office $? Millions, Duration ?, Rating PG-13(?), Genre - Action, Comedy, Ghostbusters Universe, Sci-Fi, Supernatural)
"An improvement from the debut trailer with clearer storyline being laid out with more emphasis on the ghosts themselves and how the new members are going to handle them."

~ A risky yet inevitable attempt to reboot this beloved and revered cult classic, under the guidance of the established comedy director and without the inclusion of the original characters but instead would be replaced by a solid cast -/+ Die hard fans have been constantly frowned upon this particular idea that it is treated as a disrespectful act against the original movies and the negative feedback have been clouding over this production but handled rather graciously by the director
+/- The marketing campaign has been consistently trickling out ahead of his upcoming release but there are valid reasons to be worried because of its apparent pandering to people's nostalgic feels instead of introducing something new and fresh from the new cast and the reboot itself
-
> A much clearer trailer of the overall storyline with less focus on humour and more on the effects of the roaming ghosts compared to the first, with a well balance tone portrayed throughout which consist of thriller, humour and action comedy that is accompanied by the colourful visuals and full on ghost invasion that is more in line with the predecessor while applying a new coat of paint on the premise which is still being fought hard by the loyal following of the originals although a tease of another crowd favourite could have an effect on them, good or otherwise
