Wow..., I've been wanting to talk about Ghost Busters too and my thoughts on it. I'm going to agree with both of you on this. I really liked the movie, but the director and sony were very rude to the fans and started doing some really shady things to erase all the criticisms on Youtube.

Has anyone here seen the new Ghostbusters? Chalk this up as nother "don't listened to the embittered fans." Based on the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic and write-ups in the in New York Times and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, I went into the theater expecting a phoned-in rehash of the original with way too much blue humor as an attempt to modernize the reboot (a la last year's Vacation remake), but it was surprisingly well-done.The characters had legitimate chemistry on their own, and the movie didn't just feel like a female Ghostbusters rehash. The new leads stood on their own. And what's more the special effects weren't overwrought either. The CGI was impressive while also being (until the end, that is) low-key, as if this were what the producers in 1984 would have wanted if they'd had modern CGI, intermixed with enough practical effects that it all felt pretty classic, pretty '80s-esque. And the comedy felt like classic comedy too. It's biggest problems were plot/pacing issues, and while I can't say it's altogether better than the original, I can say it's not a bad or disappointing remake, and it's not a brain-dead comedy (I mean the plot is even dumber than the original, but not by much IMO). Don't listen to the fanboys online talking (again) about "ruined childhoods" (I swear, they have been about this movie too) or particularly the sexist fanboys who hate the notion of women ghostbusters.Like I said, it's not a gender-bending rehash, I think the leads stand on their own, i.e. they didn't just write female leads to make some political point, they characters are funny and interesting even without paying homage to the original. Think more like the cast of Bridesmaids but as scientists and paranormal investigators who catch ghosts in New York City.

This is something I agree and disagree at the same time.

My agreement is that the movie isn't bad. Many of the hyperbolic fanbase thinks that.

I liked it and it's funny moments. I felt like the cast wasn't very funny and that saddens me because those women are amazing comedians and are freaking Funny as hell.. Just not in this movie..But the movie never pleased me much because of its meta theme and direction. I really am looking at Paul feig for this reason. I lost a lot of respect for him because of all of what he did.

But that the movie surrounds itself with so much hypocrisy by the director, and Sony, calling out anyone who dislikes this movie is sexist. What about all those female reviewers that disliked the movie? Many of the GBuster fan girls also hated the new movie and did many reviewed on YT about it(go check them out). There will always be hyperbolic fanboys against the movie(PT) but this was a different case because Sony and Paul said the fans are all "*******s" for not liking it. It was after the backlash of the movie, that people started now getting ticked at Sony and Paul(not to mention the marketing wasn't the best on Sony's part).

Some reviewers like James Rofl was attacked online for saying he wouldn't see the movie, not because of the women but the directing and how they are presenting it. Only the men were attacked online who shared their opinion on the movie, but by just being critical of the movie, not those sexist fanboys. The funny thing is, the women weren't at all mentioned, and they did a sh$& ton of reviews already, if not more then the fanboys did at that time.

Okay movie but the director was too disrespectful on purpose and the film suffered for that.

I know I just put a rant on top of a rant but this has been on my mind for a long time, especially when I was run down by people on the Internet for not liking the movie as them, calling me sexist and racist(even when I told them I was Afro American)

Sorry for taking The spotlight Huttse

You're good. And I was actually thinking a few months ago that this movie would probably be bad, and not because of the female cast, so I do think you can have a problem with this movie other than sexist apprehension. It was much better than I was afraid, as I had fairly low expectations from months back, though. And you're right, I don't think the leads are at their funniest here. Kristen Wiig is pretty fun, but it's not her best. It's not quite Bridesmaids or SNL tier. Kate McKinnon is fantastic though. I'll also clarify I don't find it as funny overall as the original. Funny in its own unique way, but not as funny absolutely. I don't think I made that clear enough. It still had pacing and writing/directing issues the original didn't have either. But it definitely exceeded my expectation. I guess I set a pretty low bar, but it was a hit!

Yeah. I didn't hate the Movie at all. It's not a BAD movie(though there was this one "f$&@ men" moment that Paul threw in). It was well made with the CGI and the acting wasn't too bad either. A lot of my Disdian was towards Paul and Sony.

Kate is a hot mess lol. your right, she was funny in a not so Funny way. I loved her and Thor The Geekus.

I love how Sony made sure the girls were totally conspicuously carrying around a Sony 4K camcorder for about half the movie.

As long as Chip and Dale and Phineas and Ferb don't show up in Rogue One, I'll survive though.

I'm not seeing Ghostbusters, I've seen enough half hearted modern updates I'd like to forget.

I have to force myself to watch the originals so I'm definitely not in the fan category.

The film/marketing went out of its way to insult would be film goers (if it had looked good I would have gone). No way am I going at all now.

Nothing about sexism, they made a bad film with a bad premise.

This one hopefully will just fade out of existence.

Out of curiosity anyone remember 2014 Robocop?
Same problem, it was just boring and dull.

I heard there was more depth to it. However, is it still fast paced?

Hey thread!

I hope no one minds if I give one last little "plug" for Evening Star's interview round in my "International Interview" thread (just in case someone who might be interested didn't see our posts about this a few days ago). She has posted some beautiful pictures and interesting info about her home country of Croatia...if you're interested, her round begins here (it should link right to her post when you click on this below):

#64

Her round will wrap up by about Wednesday. I'll post another announcement when we get to El Jedi Colombiano's round a bit later on...
