One day we'll get original films again you can watch for the yanno... entertainment value, without looking for a hidden agenda/message.
And for god's sake just Stop. With the reboots/remakes/ripoffs.

Wow.
I take it you have no problem with "normal" action films, which have been squarely aimed for the 18-35 white male audience for decades?
There are plenty of original films out there, and the indie scene is getting bigger (Just look at the success of Sundance) so that's a non answer as well. Hollywood is Hollywood and always plays to the LCD, which is perfectly fine. Not every film needs to be Citizen Kane.
Anyway, this film is basically saying that Ghostbusters would've been fun if it had an all female leading cast. Which, so long as it is well made, is very true. The only agenda here is in your head I'm afraid. A good film is a good film and this film needs to be judged on its merits.
We've seen decent reboots, and bad ones, just like with original screenplays, again, it's best to judge on a case by case basis rather than writing off entire swathes of content based on the premise only.
