10. It’s Better Than 90% of ’80s Movie Reboots

It's a fine movie, you guys. It's not the best movie ever, it's not better or as good as the original, but it's pretty fun in its own right. If you don't personally enjoy it, fine, cool. But if you H-A-T-E it and won't shut up about it? Then you might be a major jerk.

Because you know how I KNOW your hatred of this movie is based on sexism and not "a hatred of remakes" as most of you claim?

Because you didn't whine this much about Robocop (2014). Or The Thing (2011). Or Red Dawn (2012). No, you picked the one with women in it to make a stink over. Which is twice as shameful, because out of all those movies I just listed, NONE of them are even half as good as this movie is.

Ghostbusters (2016) is a faithful, tone-accurate movie that, while not as good as the original, is a fun thing in its own right. It is not a complete stripmining that removed the complexity and quality of a previously fantastic movie like Robocop (2014) was. It isn't a B-Movie remake lacking any talent or professionalism like The Thing (2011) was. It isn't a completely ill-advised remake of  a movie that should have remained in the past like Red Dawn (2012) was, either.

No, this is an actual quality reboot. So maybe don't throw feces at the one good one we've gotten so far, huh?
