Wonder Woman 1984 should be coming as well I guess

Fingers crossed for anything Dune but my hopes for a teaser trailer are low as of now...

Nah. It looks like Stranger Things with ghosts
It can't be worse than that last one, though

Unexpectedly feels like Blade Runner 2049 and Doctor Sleep-like sequel. It's own thing. I'm all in!

I do like that it's trying to be its own thing, but I honestly see two things here and it's jarring: Cashing in on the Stranger Things and IT craze, and going so far away from rehashing all the classic iconic stuff like the 2016 movie did, to the point where this barely even looks like a Ghostbusters movie.

I don't like this sudden algorithm of "Hijinks with Goofy Kids + Shameless Nostalgia = Instant Win!"

Yea, I'm also not too interested in a watching a bunch of kids bustin' ghosts.

I think I know what you mean, but it also feels premature to compare this to BR2049 and Doctor Sleep.

Premature, yes. Just a feeling.

And let's not forget two things: Ghostbusters, among other classics, inspired Stranger Things and the original cast is in this. Reitman isn't showing all of his cards yet.

Heh trailer, should have been shot on film too, jarringly clean and texture free.
