The newest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe the film introduces the master of the mystic arts as portrayed by actor Benedict Cumberbatch.

"Ghostbusters" the updated version of the popular 1980's film received was probably the most polarizing trailer to come out this year. Many fans of the original movie reacted negatively to the initial announcement of this movie reboot, which seem to dash all hopes of a long desired sequel. The release of the trailer did nothing to win over fans who were already dead set against the movie's existence. I'm going to keep an open mind and give this movie a chance. Here's a look at the international trailer which reveals more of the movie than the domestic trailer.
