I realize that most self-professed esteemed critics on YouTube have already torn this trailer to ribbons, hopefully the cooler minds of this forum will take a much less sensationalized perspective in that few of us are jockeying for a diamond play button.
I was a huge fan of the original film, but I like to believe that I'm wise enough to not expect a movie that's released this year to capture my heart as well as a movie I saw when I was four.
The biggest complaint I've seen is that the trailer for the new movie depicts it as being just a silly combination of overly goofy characters and gratuitous CGI, also that the trailer didn't emphasize the grittiness that helped the characters in the original become so endearing. I personally think that this complaint is bullshit, and to help explain why I'll re-watch the original trailer.

From what I saw in that original trailer, they were trying to sell us goofy characters and strategic cut-aways during scenes involving ghosts, also that trailer didn't emphasize that the Ghostbusters are anything more than just a bunch of obnoxious nerds. So if we're comparing the trailers to each other, they're about the same. I think it's unfair to take an entire movie from 1984 and a trailer from 2016 and do an apples to apples comparison.
I'll give the people complaining that those who directed the trailer should have probably considered making it appeal to the most prominent examples of why superfans loved the original Ghostbusters. Even then; people make movies either to make money or to throw out there as Oscar bait. These days excessive CGI and corny wise cracks apparently make money, though in referencing the original trailer I think it would be unfair to assume that the new Ghostbusters' movie is just going to be a mess of one-liners and obvious CGI.
I'll be seeing this in the theater because even if the movie is bad I'll probably just have fun pitching wise-cracks to complete strangers, but I have to hope that it's a great movie because the trailer really didn't make it clear that it would be.
I'm a huge fan of Kate McKinnon's work, so admittedly she's the main reason for why Sony will be getting my money. I'm very glad that she's apparently playing the Peter Venkmen of the team, I think that she has the most acting range out of any of her co-stars. Kristen Wiig is crazy talented, but she's basically a female Ryan Reynolds with her a hundred words a second delivery style. Lord knows Leslie Jones is just there to give some diversity to the cast, not that I don't appreciate her style but the trailer made it apparent that her stereotypical mannerisms will trump her character's actual contributions to the plot. Melissa McCarthy... yeah, I don't much care for her.
I expect that on its own this movie will be an above average action-comedy that empowers young women to want to pursue STEM careers and take pride in their potential. For now -- based solely on the trailer -- the consensus seems to be that, because it didn't honor the major takeaways from the original Ghostbusters, this movie will be terrible.
Oh yeah; the pathetic abominations that rally around that #gamergate bullshit are disgusted to the point where they'll likely be burning crosses in front of theaters that play the new Ghostbusters movie, because vaginas.
