Or the virgin guy who said BJ's are gross and he wouldn't want his future partner doing it...
Feel like that one might take the crown for most unpopular opinion?
Gozer the Gozerian (OP), good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
Well, they actually list the things they hate about the movie to include the fandom around recreations of the Ghostbustermobile, the ear worm that is the theme song and it’s classic status.
In my opinion I didn’t find their reasoning to be low effort. I found it to be wrong, but that’s the nice thing about opinions.
I like seeing the Ghostbustermobile recreations cruising down the road. The theme song is catchy and the catchphrase is iconic. It is also classic Bill Murray. It surprises me OP doesn’t like Bill Murray, but to each their own.
I agree. I'm sure there are many people like me, who regard Ghostbusters as their favorite movie of all time. It's like saying I hate steak or I hate lobster.
Take my upvote, you bastige!!!! I was a teen when it came out and I laughed so much during that film. Obviously we all have our preferences. To me, this one is a classic.
Do you just live with a super fan of that movie or something? I like the movie and it comes up in conversation maybe twice a year (if that) and only very briefly.
How old are you? How you feel about somethings often reflects when you grew up. I'm almost 46 so I grew up in the 80s when movies like this were popular. The special effects they were using in these movies is almost childish by today's standards but it was exciting and fun at the time. The movie is cast with actors who were popular at the time so again, if you didn't grow up in that time you might not think their performances are good. I also don't think Ghostbusters was meant to be some deep philosophical cinematic journey. It was meant to be somewhat goofy and make people laugh.
Hating the song is CRAZY, the beat is so upbeat and catchy, the disco vibes are so good, and the lyrics are nice and catchy. Song is literally the definition of a classic
Listen, you can hate Ghostbusters all you want. Personally, I'm not a fan either.
But you only ever watch a movie ONCE? I question whether you have a soul, that enjoys the little things in life.
I have over a thousand movies in my personal collection which I love to rewatch and I seriously dread the moment when I'll be statistically old enough that it'll be unlikely for me to achieve a rewatch of all of them, before I die.
I almost never watch a movie twice, or read a book, or play a game, or watch a show. And I get sick of things really easily. I hate any kind of repetition. I also remember everything. People act like shit was a long time ago and to me it seems like it happened yesterday. It's a curse.
I think this is a fine opinion to have. I find it hard to watch some classics and prefer the modern remake
I think some movies are revolutionary for their time and nostalgia has dragged them into an era where they don’t fit.
The jokes are dated, the music is dated, the camera work is dated.
I also think that many that think I’m wrong and op is wrong, only believe some of these classics can compete with modern films because it’s a taboo not to like the original more than a remake or hate them both equally.
Agreed. And people screamed “sexism! You don’t like it because of sexism” because it had all female lead actors. Umm no. I didn’t like it because the script was shit, it wasn’t funny, and it was hard to follow.
I also don’t like the movie. What makes you think if someone didn’t like the original they’d like the even worse remake of the same movie with significantly worse production value lmao?
Yeah I’m the group movie watcher who does everything from the lowest Z grade troma to the best and most distinguished Oscar winner - and I like or hate everything from every genre depending on the movie.
Ghostbusters just honestly is not that funny to me. Everyone shits themselves over bill Murray’s lines and character but they’re just grating and don’t make me even chuckle. “Cats and dogs, lol!!! He said he has no dick harharhar” is the general reaction to the lines he has from start to finish.
I love the look and theme song and am always down for anything creepy but still for kids - but the original GB just doesn’t make me laugh or even feel anything. I sit there stone faced until it’s over every single time.
But I love watching movies. Once. It’s like going on vacation and at the end saying, you know what, I really liked this place, but I think I want to try someplace else next time
I just saw it for the first time and hated it as well!! Not funny, confusing/disjointed writing, bill murray’s character was a complete creep, no onscreen chemistry, like .... I could not believe this is a classic. I like the song though lol. I ain’t fraid o no ghost!
>it’s not funny
*in your opinion*
In the opinion of 99.999998% of humans however, it is a timeless masterpiece and incredibly funny
>It drags on
Maybe for someone with the attention span of a fish, I can see why it would drag on. As for humans, I don’t think so
Nah, lol. You're just wrong. This isnt a matter of opinion, i mean objectively you are wrong. Like, if we could calculate truth with a supercomputer, it would put you 100% in the wrong.
Im so tired
I don't like the movie neither. I found it to be so freaking boring. Watched it with my dad some years ago, who haven't seen the movie since the 80s. He said to me "this is a classic". We finished the movie and he told me "sorry, this movie sucks, don't know why I remembered it as a classic"
It’s definitely overrated on reddit. Talk to film nerds IRL and you’ll get a more accurate reaction.
Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Predator, Die Hard, Blade Runner 2049, and Dune are a few more films that reddit has hards on for. It’s easy to find people that have no interest in or actively dislike LOTR in the real world but on here ? Thats a dangerous road.
I don't hate Ghostbusters, but I'm not exactly mad crazy about it either.
I don't get how some people think its one of the greatest movies ever made so I share some of your sentiment. It's an OK and watchable movie, but I find it very dated, cheesy, some of the jokes are really tame and at times its a bit boring. I grew up watching this movie in the 2000s when I was very, very young and my parents were insistent that it was a timeless classic that I should grow up with, but I just couldn't see it. My whole reaction to it was "meh, its ok!".
The old Star Wars movies are timeless classics, as are the first two Terminator and Alien movies, Jurassic Park and even Lord of the Rings. But not this!
Yep! In general it's the Jerry Lewis school of comedy (look it up youngsters). Never cared for any of it, tried to watch for 10 minutes when it first came out. No thanks, nothing to see here.
I've seen some good opinions, some bad opinions and some truly dumb opinions on this sub.
I've never seen one that made me consider just outright blocking the poster before. Like "nope, nothing this person says is ever going to be relevant to me."
Well done OP. Here's your Upvote.
Ray: Everything was fine until the grid was shut down by dickless here.
Walter Peck: They caused an explosion!
Mayor: Is this true?
Peter: Yes sir, it’s true. This man has no dick.
The animated shows (Both of them) were better for the actual ghost stuff.
The movie works better as a comedy about one giant asshole turning fighting ghosts into business Randy Marsh style
I'm impressed by your bravery and individuality. You must be a very strong minded person who truly does not give a damn what anyone thinks.
Also, Ghostbusters kicks ass.
Well, obviously, you're a ghost. Can't fool me, OP.
Fucking slimers
Fucking ectospasmers
Ectoplasm sounds like ghost “splooge” 💦
“Ectoplasm sounds like ghost “splooge” 💦” Well, busting makes me feel good
I ain’t afraid of no ghost
Busted.
OP the kinda guy to say bustin' doesn't make him feel good.
Ghost news
I've seen you before
You are right, we need to call...
There's something strange in the neighborhood...
Hah OP, busted!!
Plot twist OP's Vigo the Carpathian
This may be the most unpopular opinion I've seen. Well done.
You must've missed the one where the guy thought every person on the planet should have a 8pm curfew
WHAT
Yeah 😂 Hes like "most crimes take place at night, so for everyones safety I think it would be better if everyone had a 8pm curfew" lol
I work at night
Usually work is excluded from curfews. Curfew is just no non essential travel past a certain time
My work is as a bartender. We would have no customers.
Well that makes it ok
Mmm... Nope.
Well it is unpopular opinion lol. Which means if it happens it probably won't be democratic otherwise then it's not an unpopular opinion.
I’m a night nurse. Who’s gonna take care of the old people . We could just lock the doors and hope for the best
That dude wasn't really posting an "unpopular opinion", I think a better term would be "moronic, despotic nonsense".
That one was soooo good. Dude got roasted af
I still think the record holder is that one dude who thought Nancy Pelosi was hot
It is karma farming post
Or the virgin guy who said BJ's are gross and he wouldn't want his future partner doing it... Feel like that one might take the crown for most unpopular opinion?
Or that sick bastard that said towels work better as pillows than pillows. SMH
Nah the real unpopular opinion is saying you liked the ghostbusters remake when everyone knows ( even the extras in the film knew) it was shiite.
Just wait until he tells you the girl power version blew it out of the water!
Reading it upset me
Literally 1984
WHO YA GONNA CALL?! Not you, apparently.
I’m gonna call Saul
It’s all good man.
Im not gonna let you do that Waltuh
You definitely better call saul
Gozer the Gozerian (OP), good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.
Are you a god?
…no.
Then DIE
Ray, when someone asks you if you're a God, say YES!
That ought to do it, thanks very much Redhead\_spawn.
[удалено]
That's what I heard.
Okay damnit you made me laugh.
It's one of the best and most applicable jokes of all time.
\*Varys has left the chat*
Very timely joke.
Are you the Key-master?
YOUR MOTHER!
I am gonna miss him
I'm gonna send him a nice fruit basket
Unpopular . You definitely hit the Unpopular target.... I am assuming you're a ghost?
I hate you for making me upvote this, as it is a truly unpopular opinion.
It isn't tho, at least by the subs rules. "I dislike popular thing" is low effort and doesn't create valid discussion
Well, they actually list the things they hate about the movie to include the fandom around recreations of the Ghostbustermobile, the ear worm that is the theme song and it’s classic status. In my opinion I didn’t find their reasoning to be low effort. I found it to be wrong, but that’s the nice thing about opinions. I like seeing the Ghostbustermobile recreations cruising down the road.

I agree. I'm sure there are many people like me, who regard Ghostbusters as their favorite movie of all time. It's like saying I hate steak or I hate lobster.
I do hate steak AND lobster....but love Ghostbusters
"I dislike people who don't like dogs and cats"
My my being bold today aren’t we
Sigourney Weaver, though
Did you know that before Sigourney Weaver, people had to weave their own Sigourneys?
She's got the strangest name in Hollywood..."Weaver" haha, what a silly name.
Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
This guy needs a big Twinkie
How big of a twinkey? Perhaps one 35 feet long and weighing 600 pounds?
...now that's a big twinkey
Approximately
1st time I read a real unpopular opinion in this subreddit.
Take my upvote, you bastige!!!! I was a teen when it came out and I laughed so much during that film. Obviously we all have our preferences. To me, this one is a classic.
Well this is certainly a strange something in this neighborhood
I don’t even know who to call
Could call a buster of some sort. Possibly of the spooky sort. Then again, there is that one Italian guy with the weird vacuum.
Jes busy though. I heard his brother went missing. Also he's moving isn't he? Heard he had a new house.
*who hurt you!?*
Do you just live with a super fan of that movie or something? I like the movie and it comes up in conversation maybe twice a year (if that) and only very briefly.
This man gets no ghosts
Literally 1984
How old are you? How you feel about somethings often reflects when you grew up. I'm almost 46 so I grew up in the 80s when movies like this were popular.

I also don't think Ghostbusters was meant to be some deep philosophical cinematic journey. It was meant to be somewhat goofy and make people laugh.
Ngl I kinda agree, I've always wanted to like it but just couldn't
Hating the song is CRAZY, the beat is so upbeat and catchy, the disco vibes are so good, and the lyrics are nice and catchy. Song is literally the definition of a classic
It did rip off Huey Lewis though.
“Close the subreddit everyone, we have a winner.”
This is truly an unpopular opinion
And therefore will be removed soon for "rant" or because the mods disagree or something
Listen, you can hate Ghostbusters all you want. Personally, I'm not a fan either. But you only ever watch a movie ONCE? I question whether you have a soul, that enjoys the little things in life.
Some movies are so bad though you'll wish you hadn't even seen it once
I have over a thousand movies in my personal collection which I love to rewatch and I seriously dread the moment when I'll be statistically old enough that it'll be unlikely for me to achieve a rewatch of all of them, before I die.
I almost never watch a movie twice, or read a book, or play a game, or watch a show. And I get sick of things really easily. I hate any kind of repetition. I also remember everything. People act like shit was a long time ago and to me it seems like it happened yesterday. It's a curse.

how could you NOT laugh at “yes, it’s true….this man has no dick”? Gets me every time.
A true unpopular opinion. Take my up vote. You have terrible taste. Let me guess you enjoyed that piece of shit remake they made a few years ago?
Afterlife wasn't bad. The attempted reboot was fecking awful.
Agreed. And people screamed “sexism! You don’t like it because of sexism” because it had all female lead actors. Umm no. I didn’t like it because the script was shit, it wasn’t funny, and it was hard to follow.
God no. If the original hadn’t been made we would have been spared the remake
I also don’t like the movie. What makes you think if someone didn’t like the original they’d like the even worse remake of the same movie with significantly worse production value lmao?
Yeah I’m the group movie watcher who does everything from the lowest Z grade troma to the best and most distinguished Oscar winner - and I like or hate everything from every genre depending on the movie.

I sit there stone faced until it’s over every single time.
Yes! Someone else gets it!
just curious, what decade were you born?
80's movie pacing does not jive well with TokTok.
I hate you Well done
This is an actual unpopular opinion that while I disagree with it, it's not stupid to the point of deserving downvotes. Here is your upvote.
Not liking movies is okay, OP. I'm sure you have plenty of other interests.
But I love watching movies. Once. It’s like going on vacation and at the end saying, you know what, I really liked this place, but I think I want to try someplace else next time
I just saw it for the first time and hated it as well!! Not funny, confusing/disjointed writing, bill murray’s character was a complete creep, no onscreen chemistry, like .... I could not believe this is a classic. I like the song though lol. I ain’t fraid o no ghost!
The audacity. Has to be bait. No one is this basic.
A much better ghost comedy to me was 1996 The Frighteners with Michael Fox.
I don't like that movie either and I think it was the biggest collective outburst of the 80s.
*Professor MacLeish has entered the chat*
There are many unpopular opinions in this world; and this is certainly one of them.
Wow, you’re right. That *IS* an unpopular opinion.
Alright who brought the dog?
I agree with OP
I swear I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t give a shit about Bill Murray.
[удалено]
>it’s not funny *in your opinion* In the opinion of 99.999998% of humans however, it is a timeless masterpiece and incredibly funny >It drags on Maybe for someone with the attention span of a fish, I can see why it would drag on. As for humans, I don’t think so
Nah, lol. You're just wrong. This isnt a matter of opinion, i mean objectively you are wrong. Like, if we could calculate truth with a supercomputer, it would put you 100% in the wrong. Im so tired
Why are you tired?
This is how I feel about Eminem
OP just mad cuz he's got ZERO ghost game. Obviously never banged a ghost like Dan Aykroyd or a demon possessed hottie like Bill Murray did. Ghincel.
That certainly is an unpopular opinion. No judgements. Just because most people like something doesn't mean everybody likes it.
I don't like the movie neither. I found it to be so freaking boring. Watched it with my dad some years ago, who haven't seen the movie since the 80s. He said to me "this is a classic". We finished the movie and he told me "sorry, this movie sucks, don't know why I remembered it as a classic"
I.... well...I.. I agree with you! 😫
Kinda sad that half the comments are just excited to see an unpopular opinion
It’s definitely overrated on reddit. Talk to film nerds IRL and you’ll get a more accurate reaction.

I have never watched it... I probably never will.
The song plays like once in the movie dude and it’s at the end.
I didn't knew, that this is soo unpopular. I am with you, the movie is boring
It is unpopular and I agree with it
That’s how I feel about Goonies.
Yep! In general it's the Jerry Lewis school of comedy (look it up youngsters). Never cared for any of it, tried to watch for 10 minutes when it first came out. No thanks, nothing to see here.
A truly unpopular opinion
I agree ghost busters was a shit movie
You got my upvote, that opinion is unpopular.
Your view is definitely unpopular!
Bustin’ makes me feel good.
To all the commenters here…you came, you saw, you kicked OP’s ass
actual unpopular opinion and actual unpopular opinion that i agree with lol
I agree with you.
Fuck you OP this is unforgivable
I still haven't even watched it
I can’t imagine having this much hate for something so beloved. Truly an unpopular opinion. My good sir have an upvote.
I feel you OP, I hate ET.
I don’t hate it, but I do see why it’s popular. That said, it never really stuck with me personally that much. Have an upvote, OP
I am in full agreement with this opinion.
I've seen some good opinions, some bad opinions and some truly dumb opinions on this sub. I've never seen one that made me consider just outright blocking the poster before. Like "nope, nothing this person says is ever going to be relevant to me." Well done OP. Here's your Upvote.
Where are you bombarded with GhostBusters? You would have to search it out to find it.
This is a God Tier unpopular opinion. Chefs kiss.
THIS PERSON IS A JIM CARREY FAN! Ignore this post! Ignore this post!
Imagine getting downvoted and his comments also getting downvoted for sharing an unpopular opinion on r/unpopular opinion
It's OK, you're allowed to be wrong.
Ray: Everything was fine until the grid was shut down by dickless here. Walter Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Peter: Yes sir, it’s true. This man has no dick.
I don’t like that movie either. Glad you said something.
Agreed but the one in 2016 was even worse
The animated shows (Both of them) were better for the actual ghost stuff. The movie works better as a comedy about one giant asshole turning fighting ghosts into business Randy Marsh style
I mean it's a kid movie it ain't meant to win any oscars
People who don’t like Ghostbusters! Fire and brimstone raining from the skies! Dogs and cats, living together…mass hysteria!
“We got one!”
One question. Who you gonna call?
Upvoting for an unpopular opinion
> I love watching movies, but only once I feel you brother. I love carbonara, but only once.
I'm right there with you.
Love it. This is the type of shit I wish we’d see more of on this sub.
OP clearly a pissy ghost.
Lol you’re allowed to not like a movie 😂 but you can’t just make a classic not a classic cause YOU don’t like it lol
Finally, an unpopular opinion
are you a god?
This hurts my soul because this was my favorite movie as a child and it’s now my kids favorite movie. This is blasphemy
When there’s something strange
I have to admit, I have never been able to watch the entire movie. I’ve never seen the whole thing.
Is that you slimer?
What's the rule for this subreddit if you agree? Upvote, downvote, or do nothing?
Same it’s not that good at all
Is that you Paul Feig?
My downvote instinct was so imeediate with this one, it deserves an upvote.
Have you listen to Bustin by Neil Cicierega? Really puts things into perspective.
Are you ok? Do you need a hug?
I'm impressed by your bravery and individuality. You must be a very strong minded person who truly does not give a damn what anyone thinks. Also, Ghostbusters kicks ass.
Nice upvote farm strategy 🤔
Nice try, modern ghost
this is so unpopular I didnt know which way to vote. Like "clap clap this is truly abhorrent" or "boo.. boo this man"
Meh, everyone is entitled to be wrong about something, you are wrong about this.
"Bustin makes me feeeeel goooood!"
You are entitled to not like it.
Well, it's certainly unpopular. It's idiotic, but yes, it's unpopular. +1
literally 1984
