Ghostbusters Trailer Breakdown: 25 Things You Need To See

8. A Word On The Jokes

As this is a Trailer Breakdown I want to mainly be highlighting important plot points and making otherwise semi-important observations, but at this point I really need to pass proper comment on the humour of this trailer. It's not great - neither fitting Ghostbusters nor working in its own way - and will be one of the big points of contention leading up to release. After all, what's here is the best stuff that they chose to lead with. Seriously. I mean, take this bit; Erin walking through the backstage of some theatre...
...only to be shocked by a dressed up Holtzmann, who in response asks "The hat's too much, right? Is it the wig or the hat?" Not that strong, guys.
