But I hope there's a tie-in to the recent reboot as well, which I enjoyed more than Ghostbutsers II.
Very unlikely. That film almost certainly took place in a different continuity.As a fan, I feel served. But I hope there's a tie-in to the recent reboot as well, which I enjoyed more than Ghostbutsers II.
I know a lot of people didn't like the Paul Fieg Ghostbusters reboot, but it least it was a comedy that took an original approach to the core ideas.
Original as in, so terrible it made you want to scratch out your own eyeballs. Calling it a comedy is debatable, since that would require writing jokes.
I'm relieved this is as far away removed from Fieg's abysmal attempt at a reboot. It was an abomination that does not deserve the Ghostbusters name. Plus, allow me to express by hatred for any movie stealing the exact title as an iconic movie, and wearing its skin to fool people into watching it.
I really, really, really wanted to like the Ghostbusters reboot, especially given how awful a lot of the most vocal haters were.This leans way too hard on Ghostbusters I for me. Demon dogs, Stay-Puft marshmallows, etc., and the hyper-reverent tone (pretty sure the original was a comedy created by a team of folks coked-up to their eyeballs) all feel like big red flags.

The hyperbolic criticism of this movie from certain quarters of Ghostbusters fandom is something to see.Original as in, so terrible it made you want to scratch out your own eyeballs. Calling it a comedy is debatable, since that would require writing jokes.
You know, this is a movie. An idle entertainment.
At least we now know what kind of perspective you keep on that, to know if/how to engage with you on the topic.

I look forward to you discovering the past 20 years of movie comedies, all of which are largely improvised, many of which I guarantee you enjoyed.No, the criticism is entirely deserved. They made a reboot about an iconic comedy, named it the exact same, but did not bother to write jokes for it. They just had their actors improvize for an hour, kept the camera rolling, and then slapped it together. It is an insult.
Very much including the first Ghostbusters film.I look forward to you discovering the past 20 years of movie comedies, all of which are largely improvised, many of which I guarantee you enjoyed.
There are certainly gross corners of the Internet -- including spaces that are nominally just about Ghostbuster fandom -- where this opinion is common. Several major Facebook groups have had to ban users for the over-the-top sexist attacks -- and death threats -- made over this movie.Fieg's Ghostbusters reboot it hated for a reason. I'm not alone in this opinion.
How do you think that happened? Do you think that Paul Fieg broke into a studio lot, stole a bunch of IP and ran out, giggling, in the middle of the night? The movie was produced by Ivan Reitman.the fact that it bares the Ghostbusters name without shame, makes it extra insulting.
Every Jurassic Park sequel -- including 2 and 3 -- are just as terrible as Jurassic World.Thats like making a terrible reboot of Jurassic Park, and calling it Jurassic Park. At least Jurassic World had the decency to change the name.
