Don't waste your time watching the whole actual movie, not even to be fair in critiquing it! Instead, just watch five minutes of each scene, and be annoyed enough to skip to the next scene.
when a director describes the movie hes making as "an existing property we can make our own". You can feel the love and passion he has for the thing hes working on.

This is the 2nd reviewer I follow that did not like/hated this movie. The other one was Angry Joe. Most of them walk the line down the middle staying very neutral -- making sure to give full credit and love to the actors and director and all of their prior work then conveniently skimming or skipping over any of the problems of this reboot. I've only seen a few that outright praised this film.

I don't want to accuse them of attaching their identity politics to the success of this movie, but Ghostbusters is trash man -- CBS sitcom, simpleton trash. The only time I laughed was when the schlubby, nonathletic Ghostbusters started punching and dodging around like action heroes. That tonal shift made me fucking *howl*.

I come back at least twice a year for both this, and Plinkett's review. As we get closer and closer to Afterlife- which actually looks good, some of the ideas they're discussing here are getting me even more amped for the long awaited, true *sequel.* Proper homage is being paid and I couldn't be happier.
epicus 1088 I'm sure they didn't. That's why you see that 'For Harold Ramis' message near the very end of the credits. As if they realized they forgot that people associate Harold Ramis with Ghostbusters and had to put in something for him out of obligation.
In JJ's defense, his vision got a massive Ryan Johnson-shaped wedge stuck in the middle of it, which he attempted to fix with duct tape and string, so we'll never actually know what it was meant to be.
Zambicus JJ didn’t have a vision Ryan Johnson had to deal with JJ’s magic box bullshit He looked in to see where it was going and if JJ actually had a vision Ryan would have expanded instead of diminished Ryan just showed JJ’s plans for what they were.
"By its very nature 90% of all improvisation is garbage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just makes a mess. Sometimes it does both." John Rhys-Davies, in the LotR DVDs.
I've been to a lot of improv, and the reason it's enjoyable is that you *know* it's improv, and that's it's hard, so when it comes together for a few moments you really enjoy and respect it. But you *can't* substitute it for writing.
Tiamat The Great vast majority of people who have appeared on curb are comedians, hilarious ones at that, and the ones who aren’t like Cheryl we’re supposed to be straight characters anyway. It’s a formula that worked so well specifically for that show. You can’t just copy and paste that concept into other genres with different people and expect the same results.
Check out the midnight's edge channel for a comprehensive analysis of how this ghostbusters went down from the Sony emails. They also pushed Ivan right off a cliff to make this.
The whole starting a business thing is even worse than Rich points out. In the original it is all about entrepreneurship. They build a business. Take private paying customers. Winston comes in to ask for a job, and will do what needs doing to earn his pay. Ray takes on great personal financial risk. It's all about self sufficiency and commerce. Contrast with the new. They are a group of bs flinging college professors. When they lose the teat of the university paycheck they ??? Until they end up as "women and minority" contractors being paid from the city tax base. Even the Patty character is a government employee. No sense of self sufficiency. No entrepreneurism. No personal risk. And as you say, they never catch a ghost. No incentive to do so.
They just didn't reuse the 'starting a business' plot and focused on investigating the devices. It's a different element driving the plot than the original. I thought everyone wanted it to NOT rely on following the old plot exactly.
Why does the director take pride in not having scripted dialogue? It's like your child bragging to his parents that he's gonna wing the science exam tomorrow.
Sometimes not having scripted lines helps if handled right. Rick and Morty doesn't have a lot of script writing. They have a general outline of how an episode is going to go and tell the voice actors where they want to go. When the voice actors come up with something the writers can work with the voice actors to make the delivery hilarious. There is some script writing for the very heavy scenes but it's mostly ad-libbed and organic. Unfortunately Paul fieg isn't smart enough to pull that off.
Because if you ace the exam while saying you're winging it, you get credit for being a genius. No one's impressed by a good grade after 20 hours of studying. If you deliver a blockbuster after claiming it's all improv, your actors and director get credit for being geniuses, instead of the _writers_ getting the credit. Of course, the flipside is if you fail your exam or your movie... then you're shown up as just being dumb.
Not really. It's more like bragging your child is winging the science exam and got a 90. He believes his actors were that funny on their own, making it a great movie
Looking back, I think this movie is the perfect analogy of what the entertainment industry as a whole has devolved into. Companies can absolve themselves of any criticism by putting in gay/female/poc themes/characters/anything and using them as a shield by calling their consumers bigots if they don't submit
There's two halves to the modern entertainment industry. One is the forced identity politics shit. The other is the utter lack of creativity and willingness to take risks. The former is used as a cudgel against audiences when they react negatively to the latter.
If at least these guys would dare to moke themselves a little bit! Like for example: how better plot would it be that GB were a big corporation which busts ghost mechanically, automaticallt, which has forgotten all the blue collar values from its origins, and then follows the struggle to go back to basis, to remind why science matters but friendship matter the most... ifk, something like tha. Way more interesting, which is not a lot to say.
Force awakens by itself was good enough for a setup. Last Jedi could have addressed its issues and, like, be anything other than it came to be and it could have been solid. Rian Johnson just burned all the bridges that were perfectly fine. Problem was the bridges were made of wood and Rian was let near it with matches and a can of gasoline.
@@nextlifeonearth I will forever hate TFA because when orange Yoda says "good question for another time" I called it in 2015 I fucking called it I said they are never ganna answer that question and here we are in 2020 and not even the comics can say were it came from I think they just dropped it it's to hard for them to write.....fucken hack frauds
@@EdwardEstacado Rian burnt that bridge. He side tracked the entire sequel trilogy. He could have answered it, but didn't. He didn't research the original trilogy, the animated series or even the prequels. I doubt he even watched the force awakens more than one time. I don't blame TFA for its plot holes, since it was meant as a setup for a trilogy. Questions like these is what a trilogy uses to keep it engaging. Problem is, they have to actually answer those questions they raised.
@@nextlifeonearth Riun may have burnt the bridge, but TFA is super boring to watch because all of it is setup and all the pay off is promised in the next movie. Riun definitely could have ran with some (not even all) the ideas and made a much better movie. But TFA was fan pandering nonsense with a lot of "we'll explain it in the sequels". So even if Last jedi was great, TFA is still a boring mess that was banking on it's sequels to make sense of this shit.
The original Ghostbusters movie was a blue collar film with blue collar dialogue and values. Isolated college professors are forced out of the educational system to find real work. They are litterally forced to become exterminators/dog catchers. Half the film is them getting comfortable in labor jobs. Dealing with customers, lugging heavy equipment around, using tools... That's also sorely missing from the new reboot.
I'll attack collage professors all I want to, they are indirectly responsible for shit like this movie by brainwashing kids into becoming retarded social justice warriors and communists.
I don't understand how a movie designed to sell toys to children and promoting anti-Communist political positions could even be considered an influence in "becoming Communist". Social Justice Warriors, yeah, but that's pretty much the opposite of Communism.
@Just Be Yourself so you don't understand how real life works? That's a shame. It's fine to not like the movie, but if your response is "If you like this movie you are a SJW sexist libtard." You're revealing more about yourself than anything and you're probably a shitty person to begin with. Like you Just Be Yourself. You are a shitty person.
rather have an honest shitty person than a witty passive aggressive snake that tries to give a lecture about life. Don't you think ? It means fuck you.
It's like he's decided to inhabit the comedy relief interior designer/wedding planner role from a particularly hacky Hallmark movie in his actual life.
"The female equivalent to an Adam Sandler movie" was so spot on. Imagine if a studio redid a classic like Groundhog day with Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider then cried foul when the fans became upset. Basically Ghostbusters 2016.
This review should be showing in theaters everywhere, then I could spend $12 on going to see it instead of the new Ghostbusters and be more entertained. If you run it twice, that's about an hour and a half.
In Summary: Paul Feig- a passionate feminist and spiteful little man who's spent the past several months burning every possible bridge he could find between audiences and the movie- gets handed the Ghostbusters reboot. In this movie a failed academic, an obese woman, a lesbian, and a black woman wage war against an intangible evil society tells them doesn't exist. In the end, they defeat the villain- a virgin nerd who wants to destroy them because people beat him up in high school- by castrating him after he literally transforms into the Ghostbusters logo. You can't make this shit up. I'm so amazed somebody didn't stop this from happening.
Vhs Vcr If "asshole OP" is supposed to refer to me, I fail to see how those "insults" are anything but factually correct statements about the characters. If I'm insulting anybody, it's that spineless, spiteful hack Feig. I actually quite like the actresses as individuals, particularly McCarthy.
Pay attention to when he's talking about Chris' improve. He rolls his eyes several times and then Air quotes "hilarious" Then there's that fucking interview where he outright says men aren't funny. Men can't compete with women while making himself look like the biggest fucking tool in the shed. I don't give a damn about the actresses. They have their fans, I don't find them funny at all, so to each their own but Paul Fuck is a hack and a beta bitch.
Secret Name he WROTE AND DIRECTED the movie. He’s just not very funny and neither is that woman who co wrote it. Idk why they wouldn’t just ask wig to help cowrite it instead of only act bc she’s an award winning comedy writer. Comedies only work if the script is funny. Even with the best improv comedy guys, they depend on a funny script with space for improv either written in the script or included in post production if it is actually funnier with the improv. This movie let the actors improv and then they included it even if it wasn’t funny bc they thought that they needed more jokes (they thought they could at least have a good quantity of jokes since they couldn’t improve the quality of the jokes)
@@BeavisSaves I feel like the whole section of reality where Ghostbusters reboot was shot was an alternate dimension that accidentally crossed over into our own, and Paul Feig is a Wes Anderson villain in that dimension, whose character's purpose is to be a sleezy Hollywood film-ruiner. Notice how in 2019 all traces of GB reboot have disappeared? It's because it was an Altered World Event, like in CONTROL. The FBC came in and quarantined the OoP that caused the rift, so now no one remembers or cares.
Watching this again, after Jennifer Lawrence's Variety madness, it makes me wonder how many times we're going to have to have the "female action star" discussion.
I always enjoy their back and forths, especially when it's clearly random as the HeLmsworth bit - 26:57. And you can just look at Jay and see that he has no idea what Mike's about to say. Sometimes I think Jay is Mike's biggest fan.
The reason why Bill Murray was in this movie was because he was forced to do it. Paul Feig threatened to take "legal action" against Murray because he refused to be a part of it multiple times. In case you didn't like Paul Feig enough.
They might have found a way to try and pull his ownership of the Ghostbusters franchise. After Harold Ramis died, Bill Murray was the only holdout against future Ghostbusters movies. In a 2012 Esquire interview, Aykroyd said that Murray may have "abrogated his ownership rights" when he declined to star in an earlier Ghostbusters 3. While this didn't go anywhere, Sony might have threatened to take him to court to actually get this issue legally resolved.
Tom Spiegel that makes some sense. Feige was a regular character in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and in one episode there was a guest appearance by Frank Coniff from mst3k. They must know each other.
"jj abrams and the crew behind making that movie (force awakens) knew not to fuck with the fans and call them assholes and dickheads" watching this now, after everything that has happened to StarWars, I actually laughed out loud.
To be fair, back then we thought they had a plan. Boy were we fooled. That and 7 did capture the feel and look of the Original Trilogy and swash buckling adventure. Too bad it was a rehashed and unoriginal adventure that falters upon multiple rewatches.
@@hashvendetta7226 thats not what i said at all. I said we all thought they had planned out the trilogy from the start. Its safe to assume most of us did. I didnt say we all loved them. I never said that. I know a lot of people didnt like them from the start. but even then most people i talked to back when 7 came out regardless of opinion thought they had somewhat of a plan in mind, but they didnt. nothing about how "we all viewed it".
the added laughtracks were INFINITELY more funny than the movie content itself. Also hearing the suit talk up the movie, about how *hilarious* it is, like for example "i knew he could be funny but i didnt know he could be HILARIOUS" was up with most inane, transparent corporate bullshit speak I've ever seen.
The funniest part about that line is that Hemsworth is pretty funny in the Thor movies when he's given a script, but in this movie hes just cringeworthy

I keep coming back to this review every so many months. I think its reaching the point I can quote the review moreso than the original Ghostbusters movie.
Red letter media and Angryjoeshow are the only shows on RUclips I have seen that HAVE THE BALLS to call this movie for what it is. Its GARBAGE, FUCKING GARBAGE.
***** People get paid off all the time to give films good reviews, though. Doesn't mean everyone who liked it was paid to say that. I didn't particularly like it but I'm also aware some people did.
The original trio Ghostbusters were essentially The embodiment of the three basic Scientific investigators when it comes to the unknown. 1.) Ray = the true believer. 2.) Egon = The partial believer 3.) Venkmam = The skeptic
Their closing statement of how 4 months after this movie's release, the term "Ghostbusters" will only refer to the 1984 original is true enough. I clicked this thinking it was going to be about that. Nice work, fellas!
He's releasing a sketch review of it tomorrow. I cant wait to see all the "menimist" jokes and "MRA" references about the people who don't like the movie. By the way, Doug, Menimist isn't a real word. It's a joke someone made up.
A lot of people talk about how Ghostbusters (2016) was intended from the get-go to be a female empowerment movie. While that's not far-fetched, another RUclipsr, Comic Book Girl 19, brings up an interesting point that the feminist spin to the movie was really an attempt from Sony to cover up the fact that they really just made a shitty movie. They released the trailer, saw the negative backlash, saw some feminist retaliation against the backlash, and then realized they could fuel the flames to cover up their horrible mistake of a film. Her bottom line is that the Sony executives (and big TV/movie executives in general) are just lazy fucks that don't want to put effort into making an original, creative movie with substance, so they milk old franchises and make sequels and reboots and spin them in whatever way boosts ticket sales or views.
Sam Vimes "Except there's behind the scenes evidence of Feig and other members of the creative team pushing for an all female cast for years before the movie went into production." Huh. I was not aware of that. I did say (or at the very least imply) that I was open to both the planned and lazy possibilities. Either way, it doesn't really matter. A crappy movie was made and it generated a giant non-controversy for profit (which I don't know how good or bad the movie did in the box office, but I would assume it flopped).
Oh my god. If I contracted a terminal illness and the Make a Wish people came to my bedside to ask what I'd like, it would be to spend an evening with those 3 guys drinking Dan Aykroyd vodka.
I just realized the reason why everyone seems to like Chris Hemsworth's character the most. It's because he stayed in character the entire fucking movie. He was the only person out of all of them to do what he was paid to do, fucking act.
It's really not nostalgia. If you don't watch that movie today and laugh and smile and enjoy yourself then there is something wrong with you. Everything, from the casting, the characterisation, the jokes, the story beats, the music, the supporting characters, the prop design (proton packs, Slimer etc), the effects. It even has a few moments that are genuinely scary. All topped off with a gloriously crazy ending. It's a definitive 80's movie and one of the best comedies of all time. I don't know what more you want out of it. In what way could it be better?
@@kevtb874 Agreed. Ghostbusters holds up amazing well. If it comes on TV and you watch 5 minutes, you want to keep watching. The characters, the dialog, the plot, the humor, the visuals. It all still works.
"here's an existing property, now we can make it our own" that's always a bad sign for any sort of remake, adaptation, or anything like that, unless the original was bad.
I don't like the movie but your comment makes no sense to me. Why make an adaptation/remake of something if you're not going to make it your own? Seems like that would make the endeavor pointless. David Cronenberg made "The Fly" his own, as did John Carpenter when he made the "The Thing" remake. The worst remakes lazily follow the original plot to a T and throw in lazy pandering references.
Pocketses McFlurry I think that should be something that improves on a faulty movie, Ghostbusters is pretty much perfect, those other two remakes are improving those movies.
But if you're going to remake something that's pretty much perfect (which is a stupid idea anyway) I'd rather see someone's unique take on the basic concept than a studio-friendly inferior recreation of what I've already seen. Might as well try something different so it can at least attempt justifying it's own existence.

"By its very nature 90% of all improvisation is garbage. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just makes a mess. Sometimes it does both." John Rhys-Davies, in the LotR DVDs.
Jardel Elias I believe always sunny is more than 60% improv.
I've been to a lot of improv, and the reason it's enjoyable is that you *know* it's improv, and that's it's hard, so when it comes together for a few moments you really enjoy and respect it. But you *can't* substitute it for writing.

Rich: “Die Hard” [briefly insert picture of David Carradine]
100x Funnier than anything in Ghostbusters(2016)
The whole starting a business thing is even worse than Rich points out. In the original it is all about entrepreneurship. They build a business. Take private paying customers. Winston comes in to ask for a job, and will do what needs doing to earn his pay. Ray takes on great personal financial risk. It's all about self sufficiency and commerce.
Contrast with the new. They are a group of bs flinging college professors. When they lose the teat of the university paycheck they ??? Until they end up as "women and minority" contractors being paid from the city tax base. Even the Patty character is a government employee. No sense of self sufficiency. No entrepreneurism. No personal risk. And as you say, they never catch a ghost. No incentive to do so.
I was actually thinking the entire movie was a "Live action Obama 'julia" ad" but yeah it could be a Bernie commercial as well.
They just didn't reuse the 'starting a business' plot and focused on investigating the devices. It's a different element driving the plot than the original. I thought everyone wanted it to NOT rely on following the old plot exactly.
Make Ghostbusters great again!
Except the new plot doesn't require them actually *fucking be Ghostbusters* at all, from the sound of it.
Why do guys like this talking about the old vs new ghostbusters sound like Tea Party members?...........

“Die Hard”
David Carradine pops up.
Everytime they show a scene from 1984 Ghostbusters, all I want to do is go back and watch it. So amazing that film.
Why does the director take pride in not having scripted dialogue? It's like your child bragging to his parents that he's gonna wing the science exam tomorrow.
Is he bragging because he really knows his shit or because he is just too lazy to study?
Sometimes not having scripted lines helps if handled right. Rick and Morty doesn't have a lot of script writing. They have a general outline of how an episode is going to go and tell the voice actors where they want to go. When the voice actors come up with something the writers can work with the voice actors to make the delivery hilarious. There is some script writing for the very heavy scenes but it's mostly ad-libbed and organic. Unfortunately Paul fieg isn't smart enough to pull that off.
Because if you ace the exam while saying you're winging it, you get credit for being a genius. No one's impressed by a good grade after 20 hours of studying.
If you deliver a blockbuster after claiming it's all improv, your actors and director get credit for being geniuses, instead of the _writers_ getting the credit.
Of course, the flipside is if you fail your exam or your movie... then you're shown up as just being dumb.
Not really. It's more like bragging your child is winging the science exam and got a 90. He believes his actors were that funny on their own, making it a great movie

Looking back, I think this movie is the perfect analogy of what the entertainment industry as a whole has devolved into. Companies can absolve themselves of any criticism by putting in gay/female/poc themes/characters/anything and using them as a shield by calling their consumers bigots if they don't submit
There's two halves to the modern entertainment industry. One is the forced identity politics shit. The other is the utter lack of creativity and willingness to take risks. The former is used as a cudgel against audiences when they react negatively to the latter.
If at least these guys would dare to moke themselves a little bit! Like for example: how better plot would it be that GB were a big corporation which busts ghost mechanically, automaticallt, which has forgotten all the blue collar values from its origins, and then follows the struggle to go back to basis, to remind why science matters but friendship matter the most... ifk, something like tha. Way more interesting, which is not a lot to say.

Force awakens by itself was good enough for a setup. Last Jedi could have addressed its issues and, like, be anything other than it came to be and it could have been solid.

@@EdwardEstacado Rian burnt that bridge. He side tracked the entire sequel trilogy. He could have answered it, but didn't.
He didn't research the original trilogy, the animated series or even the prequels. I doubt he even watched the force awakens more than one time.
I don't blame TFA for its plot holes, since it was meant as a setup for a trilogy. Questions like these is what a trilogy uses to keep it engaging.
Problem is, they have to actually answer those questions they raised.
@@nextlifeonearth Riun may have burnt the bridge, but TFA is super boring to watch because all of it is setup and all the pay off is promised in the next movie. Riun definitely could have ran with some (not even all) the ideas and made a much better movie. But TFA was fan pandering nonsense with a lot of "we'll explain it in the sequels". So even if Last jedi was great, TFA is still a boring mess that was banking on it's sequels to make sense of this shit.
They aren’t completely wrong. Star Wars got it right by keeping it in the same universe.
The original Ghostbusters movie was a blue collar film with blue collar dialogue and values. Isolated college professors are forced out of the educational system to find real work. They are litterally forced to become exterminators/dog catchers. Half the film is them getting comfortable in labor jobs. Dealing with customers, lugging heavy equipment around, using tools... That's also sorely missing from the new reboot.
Brilliant observation. This movie is the unholy hybrid of Liberal Arts Academia and Blind Corporate Ambition.
I'll attack collage professors all I want to, they are indirectly responsible for shit like this movie by brainwashing kids into becoming retarded social justice warriors and communists.
I don't understand how a movie designed to sell toys to children and promoting anti-Communist political positions could even be considered an influence in "becoming Communist".
Social Justice Warriors, yeah, but that's pretty much the opposite of Communism.
@Just Be Yourself so you don't understand how real life works? That's a shame. It's fine to not like the movie, but if your response is "If you like this movie you are a SJW sexist libtard."

In Summary:
Paul Feig- a passionate feminist and spiteful little man who's spent the past several months burning every possible bridge he could find between audiences and the movie- gets handed the Ghostbusters reboot. In this movie a failed academic, an obese woman, a lesbian, and a black woman wage war against an intangible evil society tells them doesn't exist. In the end, they defeat the villain- a virgin nerd who wants to destroy them because people beat him up in high school- by castrating him after he literally transforms into the Ghostbusters logo.
You can't make this shit up. I'm so amazed somebody didn't stop this from happening.
Remember that time Paul Feig wore a skirt on Sabrina The Teenage Witch?
Best of the Worst and MST3K prove that the film industry has been filled with shit for some time, they're just getting a bigger budget nowadays.
+Thomas Danforth can we get a reboot of Manos the Hands of Fate?
Vhs Vcr If "asshole OP" is supposed to refer to me, I fail to see how those "insults" are anything but factually correct statements about the characters. If I'm insulting anybody, it's that spineless, spiteful hack Feig. I actually quite like the actresses as individuals, particularly McCarthy.
Pay attention to when he's talking about Chris' improve. He rolls his eyes several times and then Air quotes "hilarious"
Then there's that fucking interview where he outright says men aren't funny. Men can't compete with women while making himself look like the biggest fucking tool in the shed. I don't give a damn about the actresses. They have their fans, I don't find them funny at all, so to each their own but Paul Fuck is a hack and a beta bitch.
Paul Feig dresses like he's in a Wes Anderson film.
If that only gave him a tenth of wes anderson's talent...
Secret Name he WROTE AND DIRECTED the movie. He’s just not very funny and neither is that woman who co wrote it. Idk why they wouldn’t just ask wig to help cowrite it instead of only act bc she’s an award winning comedy writer. Comedies only work if the script is funny. Even with the best improv comedy guys, they depend on a funny script with space for improv either written in the script or included in post production if it is actually funnier with the improv. This movie let the actors improv and then they included it even if it wasn’t funny bc they thought that they needed more jokes (they thought they could at least have a good quantity of jokes since they couldn’t improve the quality of the jokes)
Your name is Seth.
@@BeavisSaves I feel like the whole section of reality where Ghostbusters reboot was shot was an alternate dimension that accidentally crossed over into our own, and Paul Feig is a Wes Anderson villain in that dimension, whose character's purpose is to be a sleezy Hollywood film-ruiner. Notice how in 2019 all traces of GB reboot have disappeared? It's because it was an Altered World Event, like in CONTROL. The FBC came in and quarantined the OoP that caused the rift, so now no one remembers or cares.

The reason why Bill Murray was in this movie was because he was forced to do it. Paul Feig threatened to take "legal action" against Murray because he refused to be a part of it multiple times. In case you didn't like Paul Feig enough.
Wikileaks, dude. From the Sony hack. Also, it was Amy Pascal, not Paul Feig.
Electrolysis sad to think the guy who did the office was such a tard
It's not. Look up the Sony leaks.
I know it's true, but on what exactly would he sue Murry for?
They might have found a way to try and pull his ownership of the Ghostbusters franchise. After Harold Ramis died, Bill Murray was the only holdout against future Ghostbusters movies. In a 2012 Esquire interview, Aykroyd said that Murray may have "abrogated his ownership rights" when he declined to star in an earlier Ghostbusters 3. While this didn't go anywhere, Sony might have threatened to take him to court to actually get this issue legally resolved.

A lot of people talk about how Ghostbusters (2016) was intended from the get-go to be a female empowerment movie. While that's not far-fetched, another RUclipsr, Comic Book Girl 19, brings up an interesting point that the feminist spin to the movie was really an attempt from Sony to cover up the fact that they really just made a shitty movie. They released the trailer, saw the negative backlash, saw some feminist retaliation against the backlash, and then realized they could fuel the flames to cover up their horrible mistake of a film.
Her bottom line is that the Sony executives (and big TV/movie executives in general) are just lazy fucks that don't want to put effort into making an original, creative movie with substance, so they milk old franchises and make sequels and reboots and spin them in whatever way boosts ticket sales or views.
Yeah Midnight's Edge did a whole series on how it was hijacked from Ivan Reitman by Paul Feig and Amy Pascal.
Sam Vimes
"Except there's behind the scenes evidence of Feig and other members of the creative team pushing for an all female cast for years before the movie went into production."
Huh. I was not aware of that. I did say (or at the very least imply) that I was open to both the planned and lazy possibilities.
Either way, it doesn't really matter. A crappy movie was made and it generated a giant non-controversy for profit (which I don't know how good or bad the movie did in the box office, but I would assume it flopped).
ian wulf The positive reviews didn't even save it from its abysmal box office.
Sam Vimes It's cool dude. I just found your extra info interesting.
MrAlcazar Heh. Good.
I just looked up the numbers. The budget was around $144 million and it's only earned around $46 million so far. Not even half.
The controversy behind this movie was infinity funner then the movie itself. Always a great sign for a comedy.
Oh my god. If I contracted a terminal illness and the Make a Wish people came to my bedside to ask what I'd like, it would be to spend an evening with those 3 guys drinking Dan Aykroyd vodka.
I just realized the reason why everyone seems to like Chris Hemsworth's character the most. It's because he stayed in character the entire fucking movie. He was the only person out of all of them to do what he was paid to do, fucking act.
William Shelton Hayakawa studied at the University of Chicago, I think he probably spoke pretty good English.
This film highlights how damn good the original film was.
The original was never that good to begin with actually. 80s nostalgia/rose colored glasses.

Everything, from the casting, the characterisation, the jokes, the story beats, the music, the supporting characters, the prop design (proton packs, Slimer etc), the effects. It even has a few moments that are genuinely scary. All topped off with a gloriously crazy ending.

Agreed. Ghostbusters holds up amazing well. If it comes on TV and you watch 5 minutes, you want to keep watching.
The characters, the dialog, the plot, the humor, the visuals. It all still works.
RUclips asked me if the algorithm had correctly recommended this video and why. I checked every box, including life changing. Because Richard Evans.
The only reason Ghostbusters (2016) was made was so this review could exist.
"here's an existing property, now we can make it our own" that's always a bad sign for any sort of remake, adaptation, or anything like that, unless the original was bad.
I don't like the movie but your comment makes no sense to me. Why make an adaptation/remake of something if you're not going to make it your own? Seems like that would make the endeavor pointless. David Cronenberg made "The Fly" his own, as did John Carpenter when he made the "The Thing" remake. The worst remakes lazily follow the original plot to a T and throw in lazy pandering references.
Pocketses McFlurry I think that should be something that improves on a faulty movie, Ghostbusters is pretty much perfect, those other two remakes are improving those movies.
But if you're going to remake something that's pretty much perfect (which is a stupid idea anyway) I'd rather see someone's unique take on the basic concept than a studio-friendly inferior recreation of what I've already seen. Might as well try something different so it can at least attempt justifying it's own existence.
The Ghostbusters remake should've been directed by Sam Raimi.
