Fan-Edit Of The GHOSTBUSTERS Trailer Is A Big Improvement

The trailer for Paul Feig's Ghostbusters reboot received a decidedly mixed response when it debuted, but this fan-cut version removes a lot of the tired gags and tightens up the editing.

It's true that many people hated the Ghostbusters trailer before they even watched it (misogynists, mainly), but all of that nonsense aside, it just wasn't a very good first teaser for the film. It ran too long, paused the action for too many extended shots, and, worst of all, just wasn't very funny.

Now obviously humor is subjective and a lot of people enjoyed the antics of our new spook-hunters - but even most of the apologists have to admit that puking ghosts, archaic Exorcist "power of Christ compels you" gags and Leslie Jones' sidekick shtick came across very tired.

Well, YouTuber Bevan Bell's got you covered!



Had that been the actual teaser, I'd be genuinely excited for the new Ghostbusters movie. That said, a lot of Feig's movies have had woeful trailers and turned out to be very funny in context, so let's not write this off just yet.

I mean...not really. They pretty much just made a tv spot.

That actually was better. Rarely is it better but this time it actually was.

I think Feig would have won more people over with that. All that silly shit that was taken out might work fine in the movie, but it's too much for a first trailer.

Is a fan going to have to re-edit the movie to make it watchable?

@Bodwulf - I liked your comment man heh heh heh . . . But honestly this movie doesn't look all that sh*tty to me. Just doesn't seem like it is bringing anything new to the table other than better special effects and women. But it does't look that sh*tty . . . . . . .Right?

@Deschain99 - No it does look shitty. for a comedy the jokes fall preety flat. But Spy was garbage and bridesmaids was .....female hangover.

My favourite bit is how at least two of the edits (one of them major) are made to hew closer to the original Ghostbusters, when one of the most common complaints is how much this movie is 'copying' the originals.

It's like this, Ghostbusters was great ONLY because of Ramis, Aykroyd, Murray, Moranis and to a lesser degree Hudson because he was hardly in it. It wasn't because of ghosts or a f cking song! Without Ramis, Aykroyd, Murray there is no Ghostbusters.

You can't try to make the same movie with some mildly to no talent people and have a great movie. The cast of this reboot are really low rate actors that most people don't find entertaining.
