However a number of negative comments are focusing on the fact that the film has four female leads, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, causing the comment section to become a debate over wether or not it’s ‘misogynist’ to dislike the film.
The Ghostbusters reboot has been the subject of controversy ever since it was first announced 2014 and director Paul Feig has taken a barrage of criticism on social media. In March he told Buzzfeed: “If it’s pure misogyny [on Twitter], it’s a non-starter to me. I go, ‘You’re somebody I don’t even want to deal with.’”
