Weak.

;)

On another note, this film is getting atrocious reviews as well as some moderate ones.  One of the biggest complaints other then the horrible CGI is the cast and acting.  Been hearing a lot saying the film is uninspired.

Okay I just recently got out of seeing it me all I can say is......the haters are ducking idiots. Seriously. It may not be the original ghost busters but you know what? It's harmless. It exists. That's it. It was a nice movie. It really doesn't deserve as much hate as its been getting

At times though I kind of question your taste bro.

I mean, horrible CGI is a valid complaint. But the thing is, a movie is supposed to make a mark. It's supposed to do something. Not just "exist". If it just "exists" it's kind of failed.

And if the acting and casting is bad, that can ruin a movie just like great acting and casting can make a movie. I do agree that perhaps the movie is getting too much hate from nostalgia hacks, but if critics are also saying its a bit of a flunk then.... Yeah.

I question lots.  ;) 


A friend of mine who I consider to have good taste for the most part saw it last night.  Said it wasn't good.  They said it seemed very, blah.  Like he got bored with it and just stayed because his girlfriend kept watching.  Both thought it was pretty meh.

>"It's Harmless, it exists"
See, that's the problem.  It shouldn't exist and it isn't harmless.  If this movie does well that means studios will continue to ignore original ideas for quick money grab reboots, some of which are almost carbon copies of their original sources with some cast changes, shittier dialog, and worse acting.   This is the kind of shit that keeps getting Transformers movies made.

Ugh, fricking Transformers movies. Asides from perhaps better effects (questionable), do the reboots have any reason to exist?

If people just go see movies that exist... then they will keep producing garbage or this that are just... there.  No one wants bland, but if people keep going to see them, studios will keep producing bland.  They will know the public is going to dish out money with their least amount of effort put into a film.

I didn't mean it quite like that. Pretty much the best way I can describe this movie is how Rob Walker says it in the video I linked above. "It's not as bad as it looks. There are moments where it does but that's not the whole frickin movie."

There are things done differently with this film that I openly welcomed and some that were kinda....meh. The receptionist character, yeah I get what they were going for but the humor just didn't do it for me.

But the climax. Oh my god the climax was so much frickin better than the original movie to me.

When you spend $170million on something other than feeding and clothing other people, it better be more than 'its not as bad as it looks.'

The problem is people keep comparing it to the original and of course that's gonna bring up some biased opinions. The original Ghostbusters, although a classic, wasn't a perfect a movie. It too had its flaws just like this one does. Both of them I think hold up equally but because of the original, the new one is gonna be bashed on.

The original was the only of its kind.  The actors had chemistry because they were friends IRL (at the time, no need to get into Ramis and Murray hating each other after Groundhog Day) and worked together on SNL and other projects like "Caddie Shack".  Ramis was a brilliant writer and Aykroyd was a great editor.  The new one has nothing of the sort and serves only to say "hey remember that stuff some dead guy invented?  hey here it is all over again with some remixed music and shitty CGI"
It's not a problem to compare it to the original and be disappointed.   Without the original there is no Ghostbusters.   The second you use the word "reboot" you are setting yourself up to say "we're making the old one BUT BETTER" and it isn't.  They easily could have made it take place in Chicago and be about a group of women who want to set up their own Ghostbusting Franchise and have it comfortably in the universe the original created.  Remember, its a business even in the original, so its not out of the question that Ray or Venkman would wanna cash in on the success and train other ghostbusters in other cities.  But, they didn't do that, so here we are.
