"Ghostbusters" 2016 Movie Theme Song Slammed; Most "Disliked" Too?

Ghostbusters (2016) The TRUTH About the Controversy

Controversy seems stuck to Ghostbusters 2016 as the reboots new theme song also received its fair share of criticism.

Fall Out Boy remade the original theme song with a guest rap by Missy Elliot, News.com.au reported. Yet would it stand up to the version released by Ray Parker Jr with the original Ghostbusters movies, the publication pondered. Sadly, it might have missed the mark, as the publication described early reviews of the remake as savage. Polygon compared it to the infamous Vanilla Ice song Go Ninja, Go Ninja, Go! for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.

Dirk Libbey of Cinemablend wrote that it barely qualifies as music. Headmitted to his earlier anticipation aboutFall Out Boys role in the reboots new theme. Libbey surmised the band was the ideal choice to do it given the silly reputation of the original theme song but his anticipation ceased whenhe heard the remake.

What is this amelodic nightmare fuel? The song keeps repeatedly telling me that its not afraid, but now Im scared. In fact, that single phrase is a perfect example of the problem. Its trying way too hard, Libbey wrote.

The classic line used in the original version is I aint afraid of no ghosts. Its a line spoken by an overly cocky Ghostbuster who is confident in their abilities, whether or not they really should be. m not afraid, says something different. Its somebody trying to convince themselves that theyre not afraid, and theyre obviously lying to themselves, Libbey added.However, varied reactions among YouTubers could raise hope for the reboot. To date, the verdict is far better than the reception of the movies trailers. Thus, could this indicate peoples willingness to give the movie a chance?

Consequence of Sound published the official soundtrack listing for Ghostbusters 2016and fans would be happy to know that Parkers version is included. Asterisk-marked songs do not appear in the film, the publication noted.
