I don't hate the actresses, I just think it's stupid to remake a movie that was by most accounts (box office) awesome. Remaking it in my view is basically saying, we can do this better than the original, and I'm not alone in that thought. I haven't seen it yet, I probably will, but not in the theaters. I just can't get excited about it because in my view, it's un-necessary.
...and it DOES smell like "hey, lets make Ghostbusters with women, just because they "deserve" it. There's no point in remaking it. It should have been like a continuation, a part three where these girls take over the mantle from the original Ghostbusters IMO. I would have been able to live with that.
Seems like it's only doing OK at the box office. I doubt it has staying power though. At the end of the day, it looks like it'll be a disappointment.

I don't think remaking something old is typically viewed as having a "we can do it better" attitude. More an homage to the original and giving the story new life while trying to do it justice.
"We can do it better" is typically remaking a recent shitty movie. Like every Hulk movie.
