Ghostbusters is one of the better comedies of this decade. Tragic most of the core franchise fanbase made up their minds what they thought of it long before ever seeing it or giving it any kind of chance. 

Eh...it's good, very watchable, but not much sticks out in my mind nearly a year later. Should watch it again now that I think about it.

[WrathOfHan]

I can name a bunch of comedies from 2016 that were better than Ghostbusters:

 

Deadpool

The Edge of Seventeen

Hail, Caesar!

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

The Lobster

Mike and Dave (#HotTake)

The Nice Guys

Popstar

Swiss Army Man

20th Century Women

Is it wrong that I actually liked Ghostbusters 2017 but I found Chris hemsworth to be the best part?

If anything it helped Taika Waititi become more confident in Chris Hemsworth's comedic chops for Thor: Ragnarok

Oh i meant wrong as if because its a female led project and i ended up thinking the guy was the best part lol

Ghostbusters was never worth the  hate nor is it worth defending.  It's the very definition of a 2 1/2 star movie

Agreed. Also love the new name.

Very pleased with the Coco number. It seems to be following Moana closely.

But 4 movies over 800 m and 6 movies over 600 m is kind of incredible.

 

What other genres can boast those kinds of numbers?

 

Over 3 billion from a single genre is unprecedented, not including Avatar's freak of nature global take.

Animation last year came pretty close. (2 movies over $1B, 3 over $800M and 5 over $600M)

I know that's your opinion and I respect it, but anyway

Not saying it's comedic gold (although pretty much all of Hemsworth's and most of McKinnon's stuff is), but it was enjoyable and this decade has a pretty weak offering of comedies.

Pretty much this. I finally caught it on cable, and it has some laughs,but also a lot of jokes that just do not work.

iIt will be remembered for the controversies...(in which both sides made fools of themselves) rather then the film itself. It was just another mediocre comedy.

It will be pretty much forgotten, while the 1984 original will still be a beloved comedy classic.

True. Only comedies I was willing to see in the theater were Ted and Ted 2. Not counting superhero movies like Deadpool, GotG and Thor.

People who say this has been a weak decade for comedy haven't seen many comedies this decade. In addition to the ones mentioned earlier, this year has had (excluding funny book movies):

 

The Big Sick

Get Out (or is it? Lil Rel's stuff was funnier than anything in Ghostbusters anyways)

Happy Death Day

Lady Bird (haven't seen yet but that 100% can't lie)

Logan Lucky

Three Billboards

I agree with your general sentiment but calling HDD, Get Out, and Three Billboards comedies is kind of a stretch

[Boxofficerules]

Mods having to tell people that you can’t bully movies is one of my favorite posts here for awhile.

[The Futurist]

Ridley Scott has turned out to be one of the most interesting comic directors in the latter years of his career, I mean :

 

Prometheus

The Counselor

The Martian (won plenty of funny wards)

Alien Covenant

 

All hilarious movies I can put everytime I am feeling down.
