Unnecessary reboots of beloved (at least among certain fairly large segments of the population) movies are almost always horrible decisions. Add on that they intentionally waved the middle finger to fans of the original and decided they could make the most money by making/marketing the film an anti-male feminist issue movie make this even worse (the finale is proof of both).

There was a way to reboot Ghostbusters with an all-female main cast and not have it be this bad, but it would've involved someone other than Paul Feig directing and a whole different main cast. Maybe someone like Tina Fey involved. Not sure exactly; I'm not a fan of comedies in general so I can't say for sure who would be ideal.

Empty and cynical pandering not really worth being upset about or cheering for, simple as that.

Was the original Ghostbusters cynically pandering to men?

The first was not based on an established property.
