The Mayor compared them to Eat,Play,Love because it was a movie/book that featured a few women who stood up for themselves and fought back against the patriarchal male system by going on adventures and girl power.
Damn Vito! I’ve been waiting for one of these critique vids. It’s been awhile. I love these! We need at least 1 a month. These are your bread and butter baby!
I couldn't bring myself to even pirate 2016 to watch the trainwreck. I'm old and remember when the OG movies came out. I was never the biggest fan but I could definitely quote more than a few lines.
Great video Vito, as always. I can tell you’ve been spending more time on your videos because the production of this one is great. Not that your other ones were not, but this is better quality. Even your voice sounds better. Keep up the good work sir.
32:38 I would possibly agree....if the movie didn't also include Chris Hemsworth's character being portrayed as painfully stupid, and having all the women in the show stare, gawk and leer at him, something that not only didn't happen in the Original Movie with Jeanie or even Dana when she was in that orange robe thing, but would've been vilified as Sexist if it was done in reverse. Even if you don't call that Woke it is still a clear double standard.
@@LDrosophila That was basically flirting back in the 80s. Also Dana was smart enough to know when Peter was being creepy and Peter knew when to back off. The girls in 2016 are more balatant about it and taking advantage of the fact Chris's character is an idiot. Thus they are far more scummy.
@CitizenJohnnyRico He doesn't make videos about movies until their official release on DVD, because he uses fragments from movies when he is making a review. But, just like any content creator, he uses "Frozen Empire Week" to get the most views.
I agree with the fact that Hollywood really needs to try to be more creative. However, good reboots happen, and this is just an example of rushed products and people who weren't passionate about the original.
I’m thinking if they want to do a Ghostbusters 6 aka a sequel to the Frozen Empire, they should just make it like a finale to the series if they wanted to do a another attempt at a Reboot. Ghostbusters 2016 isn’t that bad I mean there’s a couple things I liked about it. I found Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones to be more funny and likeable compared to Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy. I did like the idea of using the the ghost from the ghostbusters logo and the animated scene with the ghost, but problem, Rowan was neither interesting, relatable, funny, or anything really, just a cool concept but with no depth. I also think the writing is awful though, it makes the movie more choppy with its scenes, fast pace, and less interesting, character development isn’t that good as well, accept for Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon because I actually found them to be funny. Honestly it’s either they do a Reboot with an entire different story, set in a different universe, and better writing & directing. Or just do an entirely new IP franchise that’s a Horror/Comedy about Catching Ghost.
I found Ghostbusters Frozen empire as a great film and way better than the 2016 one. Anything is better than the 2016 Ghostbusters and its forced comedic humor.
Youre utterly clueless. 84 is a standalone classic. 89 is a remake beat by beat. Afterlife is a GB themed film…a totally different kind of film for the franchise. Frozen empire is the gb sequel we wanted in 89 but didnt. Theres no recapturing 84 but also, i dont expect fucking shawshank when sitting down for frozen empire. Movies great and falls in line with GB. Get over it you stiffs.
"The children who grew up with the original movies now miserable adults. Desperate for anything to distract them from our current political hell scape." That was so on the nose I felt it personally.😂
to this day this is the only movie I've ever walked out of early and since it was past the 45 minute mark I couldn't get a refund and I think that was my joker moment
Brilliant job on this one Vito, did not expect something this in depth. Great analysis. Yeah, they should never have been given this movie to mess up :(
The problem isn't the fact that it's an all-female cast, the problem is that the all-female cast lacks the signature dry wit and actually funny jokes of the original Ghostbusters movie.
I think you could have mentioned the insane creativity of Dan Akroyd. He truly brought some insane ideas into the old movie. He made many of the occult lines actually uncanny insane and therefor interesting.
And even in the more comical Ghostbusters running away from the library ghost with the whimsical music, the ghost itself is still scary! It’s making a funny face or doing something absurd, it’s a frightening image. And that helps ground it. Ghostbusters 2016 could have committed to a joke a second, multiple jokes going on at the same time like a Naked Gun movie, but that takes a sharper script without relying on 90% improv.
You're very astute on the Naked Gun comparison. I can see Kristen Wiig trying to be a comically-serious Leslie Nielsen character, but she doesn't commit to it.
I missed these long form videos by Vito. No “GOTCHA” segment but it’s nice to get one finally after Vito finally felt like doing some work after sitting on his ass bitching about his perceived biggest problems in the universe or writing his invincible fan fic book. Hope to get more like this in the future.
Gnarly video. Dig the Evangelion-style title card; great credits. Those Patreon tiers, tho.... Vito, do you scour the grimdark, looking for heresy to purge?!
One of the problems, of the many problems, is that the lore has no rules. In the original there's a specific way the technology works and how ghosts work, at least vaguely. This movie didn't make any attempt to explain how ghosts work and what the gadgets do, and there's no consistency. Sometimes they can catch them, sometimes they can punch them, there's no rules to stick to and it takes me completely out of caring for the movie.
This is awesome. Any video that takes a high-pressure, sand-blasting sh*t on the 2016 Ghostbusters goes directly to spank bank. NEVER FORGET what they tried to do to comedy. NEVER AGAIN.
@@MrRayRockstarHe was using hyperboyle cliche. The truth is, Ghostbusters was the worst comedy of 2016 and you don't need to be a manchild to know it was crap and make fun of it.
@@MrRayRockstar No, not really. There's still articles being written defending it to this day. And not in the resigned it lost but here's a new perspective way. The venom is still fresh and if one side can do it, the other can. We tried to move on, we're not allowed to.
Excellent video! Your editing is amazing, it must take you forever! You touched on this but I think the main thing wrong with the movie is the main thing wrong with everything right now. People can’t tell women “no, that’s dumb”.
I admit that I kind of liked the wig scene, but I thought it was maybe a callback to a Real Ghostbusters episode in season 4 called 'Flip side', but I doubt they were that clever
Truth be told I did have a fair bit of appreciation for Afterlife. I wouldn't say it meets the quality of the original two movies, but it felt like the people working on the movie had genuine passion for the franchise. I like how it took its time establishing the new cast and it being the child and grandchildren of Egon coming to terms on his demise and growing into the next generation didn't feel cheap. The one thing that did feel cheap was going back to Gozar and the Dogs for the finale, even if it was for a reunion with Ray, Venkman, and Winston (and Ray as CGI, though at least they didn't go so far as to make him speak). I still need to give Frozen Empire a shot, cause from what Afterlife provided it feels like they can develop a decent successor of characters, but we'll have to wait and see. The audience reception was quite good, I mean 85% while the critics went to 45% means there's yet another divide. Currently Afterlife is sitting at 94% with the audience to a 63% with Critics, so there is a consistent decline in reception which could be the nostalgia wearing off or the movie was a genuine downgrade.
Thanks for watching! If you like my comedy, please check out my upcoming graphic novel at Superkiller.org

I hope your project succeeds!
This video was an excellent extended review of GB2016. I enjoyed it!
Yeah, i like your comedy about gina carano. Make a video about How pretending to know about law DESTROYED youtube channel.
Are you okay Vito? You been missing, just checking in.
Dinners on me tonight Vito. You earned it.
hey I really appreciate that!
"Four of the funniest women in the world."
What a depressing statement.
13:28 This shot contains my favorite theater kid.
"Watching a bunch of adult theatre kids" - cut to video of Dick at UCB. Well done sir.
You gotta make more vids Vito, I would still love a final post-mortem on the SW hotel
Video essays are your calling man. Don't waste your gift. Give us more :)
Damn Vito! I’ve been waiting for one of these critique vids. It’s been awhile. I love these! We need at least 1 a month. These are your bread and butter baby!
With the numbers this is pulling we ain't seeing more of these any time soon.
I couldn't bring myself to even pirate 2016 to watch the trainwreck. I'm old and remember when the OG movies came out. I was never the biggest fan but I could definitely quote more than a few lines.
Yes, sir, it's true. This man has no d%&k.
Even the review is too much attention to that crap
I'm so glad Vito is back making , "A Complete Cinematic Failure" vidoes!
Great video Vito, as always.

Meh Venkman was a creep with Dana just like they are creepy with Chris' character
@@LDrosophila That was basically flirting back in the 80s. Also Dana was smart enough to know when Peter was being creepy and Peter knew when to back off.

Thanks for all the great videos over the years, Vito.
I do what I can
incredibly well written outro. i usually set videos to 1.5x speed but this was worth sitting through.
Do you know what the song featured in the outro is?
Wtf?! I thought this would be about Frozen Empire but it's about an 8 year old movie?! wtf Vito? Late like always. Where's your comic?

gdi its been SO LONG since u did a video like this. im excited
Long form video critiques like this are really your strength. Each one of yours I've watched is A+.
YES! I've been waiting for this one. Thanks for your amazing art and commentary Big Time Vito. Don't unalive yourself!

absolutely killer vid, vito
I thought Paul Feig was a gag stock image. He dresses like a cartoon villain on purpose?
41:12 Damn, Vito. I wasn't ready for this level of truth on a long weekend. As always, a masterful breakdown
Great Vid Vito. Just another IP being dragged through the mud.
Keep up the good work bud.
Any chance of a quick vid on that Acolyte trailer 😅
I found Ghostbusters Frozen empire as a great film and way better than the 2016 one. Anything is better than the 2016 Ghostbusters and its forced comedic humor.
Hard to believe that this movie is nearly a decade old at this point. Also hard to believe that cinema has not progressed even an inch in this decade.
I think this breakdown of Answer The Call might rival the video by Red Letter Media.
Excellent job Vito!
Good one Vito! I think you are great. Keep it up. Cheers mate!
Always love your videos! Love seeing more and more of your content. Don't need streaming services when I got Vito. Thank you!
How timely!
Ghostbusters was just SNL vehicle. Just did well enough because two incredible Cartoons that came after.
No, the first one was insanely good. It didn't need a cartoon, I was there for it.
Frozen Empire doesn't work for me, I didn't like a plot but like the soundtrack
Youre utterly clueless. 84 is a standalone classic. 89 is a remake beat by beat. Afterlife is a GB themed film…a totally different kind of film for the franchise. Frozen empire is the gb sequel we wanted in 89 but didnt. Theres no recapturing 84 but also, i dont expect fucking shawshank when sitting down for frozen empire.

the comedy in this movie is on par with yours.
to this day this is the only movie I've ever walked out of early and since it was past the 45 minute mark I couldn't get a refund and I think that was my joker moment
Hey, this wasn't even that bad! 8 years late, but still a good job, Vito!
Great video bro!
Man I know this video won't go well but I love it so much. I wish these did better so as to incentivize you to do more of them.
Ah Vito, you lovely man, you never subvert my expectations
Brilliant job on this one Vito, did not expect something this in depth. Great analysis. Yeah, they should never have been given this movie to mess up :(
Oh my god Vito, I thought you were never going to make videos like this again.
17:20 thats Adman Sandler's MO but at least he has funny movies in his past to fall back on
The problem isn't the fact that it's an all-female cast, the problem is that the all-female cast lacks the signature dry wit and actually funny jokes of the original Ghostbusters movie.
True. Also doesn’t help that Paul Feig is a hack. Give it to anyone else and have a different cast, might’ve been ok
Great work, Vito! The desktop gag had me laughing so hard
Audio dip from 15:21 to 16:35
I have a Japanese Laser disc of blade runner. I got Sean Young to sign it
Vito my guy, this the best breakdown you’ve done yet. Pls make more content like this.
Will you make videos on Afterlife and Frozen Empire?
FINALLY new Vito! What a glorious time to be alive.
I think you could have mentioned the insane creativity of Dan Akroyd. He truly brought some insane ideas into the old movie. He made many of the occult lines actually uncanny insane and therefor interesting.
Doesn't he have some quirky beliefs about ghosts and aliens?
That evangelion wallpaper made me laugh.
Vito what’s the birds name again?
Very timely video Vito
And even in the more comical Ghostbusters running away from the library ghost with the whimsical music, the ghost itself is still scary!

This super killer thing sounds like a rip off of deadpool 3…
I can’t stress this enough I enjoyed all the ghostbusters this one too
Paused the podcast to watch this. I love your long form stuff and I am sorry to hear you do not plan on making more.
I missed these long form videos by Vito. No “GOTCHA” segment but it’s nice to get one finally after Vito finally felt like doing some work after sitting on his ass bitching about his perceived biggest problems in the universe or writing his invincible fan fic book.

Hey are you going to put out that comic book?
It sucks that youtube isn't getting you that cash in hand, this was really good and i wish we could get more vito videos 👍
What’s that ending instrumental?! It sounds really good!
The fact that I watched Ski Patrol, from 1990, and found that Paul Feig was in it - answered a lot of questions for me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 . . .
Gnarly video. Dig the Evangelion-style title card; great credits. Those Patreon tiers, tho.... Vito, do you scour the grimdark, looking for heresy to purge?!
Amazing video, man. Keep going :)
Awesome, I absolutely admire your style, humor, and inteligence
So I have to pay for the comic book, AND for the shipping?!?!
Where's the review of the DVD you recently received
Yo Vito my man, it's your boy Sony. When can you start?
Lol Vitos such a funny youtuber 😂 can never get an upload right the first time haha
great video! I love your beer buddy metapher, there is a lot of thruth in it. same with your fazit! :-)
Nice man, glad to see a new video
Glad I decided to watch, you should make more video essays
Audio is working now, thank you!
What was the issue before?
@@JadDragon there was no audio at all the first few mins after the vid went up
@@bootsthecat6718 I had audio the entire way when I watched the first vid. Weird.

34:52 based wallpaper, sir 💪🫡 Kawoshin forever baby
28:20 Vito i couldnt agree with you more. Ive been saying this for years now about hollywood. Its lost all its subtlety
you can't rewrite perfection - unless you're Spielberg re-doing West Side Story
Ghostbusters 2016 is like a Mel Brooks parody film, they've got the parody now they just need the comedy.
After years of messing up any chance to do GB3 when Harold was alive and healthy Bill picks this to come back to the franchise with??
Love these videos
Ghostbusters 2016 isn't a comedy, it's a tragedy

Vito comes back with his video essays finally🎉🎉
Did you bring the confused kid to hunt ghosts? Let's gooooooooooo
Vito! Let's gooooooo! Love your stuff
Excellent video! Your editing is amazing, it must take you forever! You touched on this but I think the main thing wrong with the movie is the main thing wrong with everything right now. People can’t tell women “no, that’s dumb”.
What year is it?
The only nostalgia I feel watching this video is from when you did the Star Wars sequel trilogy reviews. Man these reviews are funny keep it up!
this video essay format is an aging comedy franchise
Yo Vito, you're amazing, awesome video, love your takes
Fitting you used a scene of Robocop antagonist Dick Jones. As they're trying an origin story on him. Essentially, Robocop, but without Robocop.
I admit that I kind of liked the wig scene, but I thought it was maybe a callback to a Real Ghostbusters episode in season 4 called 'Flip side', but I doubt they were that clever
