9. It Isn’t a Re-MAKE, It’s a Re-BOOT (And Yes, That Does Matter)
This movie isn’t trying to be a one-to-one remake of Ghostbusters (1984). It’s intended to be the first in a brand new series of Ghostbusters movies using the central conceit of scientists catching ghosts to launch an entirely new series of fun genre-comedies.
Hell, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is more of a remake than Ghostbusters (2016) is, and we all agree that one is pretty darn good, right? What’s that? A lot of GB16’s most, um, aggressive critics also hate TFA because “grumble mumble ‘mary sue‘ mumble burp�
Well, I guess if you’re one of those people, you can just stop reading this right now, because there is no way anything I say will pierce the veil of ignorance you have built around yourself.
A reboot is a much better move than a remake, primarily because it isn’t ENTIRELY trying to capture the magic that made the original film so great. It’s just trying to be a new, cool thing. So let it be that.
