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.

"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.
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.
Neil M i just think he doesn't care. These people, the Rian Johnsons and so forth, do a job that pays them millions anyway so why care? They shit on everything
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.
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.
"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.
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.
@@Jobother The chinese government hasn't even been communist for decades...calling yourself a communist doesn't make you one. Especially when you have, you know, a state, a stock market, class division etc etc...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This is why I love RLM: while everyone else was afraid to get called sexist and misogynistic these guys were expressing their opinions on Ghostbusters (and indeed on a bunch of these controversial blockbusters, especially Rogue One), and whether or not you like those films it's nice to see someone saying what they believe as opposed to what everyone else is saying. Keep saying what you guys really believe, Mike, Jay, and Rich Evans.
All the Hollywood bullying. I think hollywood didn't care because everyone paid money to go see it after that point and couldn't care less what they said if they paid. James Rolf on the other hand was labled sexist/racist/misogynist/rapist/basementdweller/2017electioncycle JUST for saying he wasn't going to go see it. He didn't even tell people not to go watch it, he just said he had no interest in it and yet he was the only one who got tore apart from it by small-media-outlets and celebrities for the TAMEST and most straight-forward comment he has ever done in his life.
They don't like TFA anymore, they retconned their opinion on that. But they still shit on Rogue One even though it's a much better film. Jay even says in their Rogue One review that Daisy Ridley shows more charisma than Felicity Jones haha, fuck off. Possibly the most wrong he's ever been about anything.
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.
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.
@@noless Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, Ozzy Osborne, Charles Dance, Andy Garcia and Chris Hemsworth. With that at least half of the budget is gone.
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.
Oh, I fucked up that guy's last name. But you can't really give me shame. I didn't know who the hell Feig really was, I'll give the reasons. It's because, I never cared for his movies, They all sound worse than having fleas. I know that he did all he could, to rape me in my damn childhood. I don't care if he did mean well, I just want him to go to hell.
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.
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.
Annihilation is a mess, awesome visuals and some good ideas. But mediocre execution, dumb scrip pretending being smart for having a few good moments and some confusing shit.
It had the same problem as how to train your dragon. They shouldn't have named it after a book if it is only going to have one similar theme and the entire plot and characters and setting changed.
It's 8 hours to 2018 when i am writing this and the top results when i type "ghostbusters" on google are the wiki followed by the 1984 movie , also the right side bar is all about the details of the old movie. Thank you internet!
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.
Just watched this movie for the first time and something that stuck out to me was the lighting. There's so much neon blues reds and greens in the background that when they do take out those proton packs and start shooting it's not exciting because your eyes are already saturated with all the cartoony ghosts and lights in the background. They shot the climax of the movie in fucking times square, one of the brightest most flashy places on earth. If they wanted to make the proton packs special, go someplace dark and shoot the scene. Compared to the original with practical effects, makeup and miniatures this movie is dogshit.
One thing I love about the original, I'm 21 and enjoy 80's movies mind you, is that the Proton Packs were adamantly heavy. Hell, the movie commentary director mentioned that Harold Ramis complained the least about how heavy they were. So basically, it made sense in the story because it was incredible technology. But 2016 made them lightweight and made the busters themselves into badass warriors doing flips n' shit. I liked the original because it was a DISADVANTAGE against a fucking God.
It's amazing to me how this is an issue whilst Denis Villeneuve has pretty much mastered the concept of "yeah, my lead is female, but it doesn't matter". Sicario and Arrival had female leads but did it matter? No. It was well written, masterfully edited drama that just happened to be female led and no-one noticed because it was incredible writing. Women can so easily be leads in action films, just as long as it's well controlled. Emily Blunt is one of the finest most versatile actors working today. From pot smoking cleaner to ROYALTY to assassin. Women can do it. It's just a case of producers being willing to accept this fact.
Films having female leads isn't a big deal. Or at least it wasn't until the appearance of various modern anti-feminist movements, the existence of which this film's principals awkwardly attempted to leverage for marketing purposes.
Your point is valid, except for the small fact that both these Villeneuve movies were original creations that had the time to test themselves. Paul Feig just took an established property and retconned it.
The reason why neither film mentioned had to push identify politics is because they're both quality work that sell themselves. Also, identify politics weren't as big a marketing gimmick prior to 2016.
Two years later to the day, and it's exactly as Jay predicted: "Ghostbusters" continues to refer to the original film, while "Ghostbusters 2016" refers to a horrendously unfunny remake that totally bombed at the box office. When people mention the reboot, they immediately think, "bad movie."
"The most politically dividing film of the year [long pause] a fucking Ghostbusters remake [longer pause] guuess that's where we're at." How is it that two obviously drunk VCR repairmen just beat every joke in Ghostbusters 2016 at comedic timing, and I've only listened to them for 190 seconds?
I never saw new Ghostbusters, but I watched this review like, 5 times (5 x 45 mins). Plus Plinkett review, like, 5 times (5 x 58 mins). And every time, after those reviews, I watch original Ghostbusters.

Smooth vodka is a meme. 90% of the time it's a mixer and then you are covering it with other flavours and the rest is either to get shitfaced or because you like the taste, and you don't care about taste when you want to get drunk. To enjoy the taste your name has to be Борис.
The scene in Red Tails of the guy taking what should be a bunch of 30mm cannon shells in the chest as if somebody was throwing confetti at him will never leave me. I seldom witness such hilarious idiocy. Even from Lucas.
Mac Brown That fucking scene was so laughable just by the fucking stupidity of him taking that many shells into the chest. It’s like a child directed it. Also the Germans (of course) are a bunch of comic villains who hate blacks so much (guess George doesn’t know that blacks served in the Waffen-SS).
"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.
Red letter media and Angryjoeshow are the only shows on TH-cam 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.
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.
+azraelswrd I really wanted to like this movie. Nobody believed that I did because I hated all the marketing and how everybody -- from Feig to Sony -- conducted themselves. But walking out of the theater -- after spending two hours watching my girlfriend bury her face in her hands, angry and frustrated at the trash she was witnessing -- I had the exact same reaction that Jay had: "That was Pixels Part 2." But all of my friends are saying they liked it and I cannot grasp why. 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*. When McCarthy started throwing punches and Wiig started doing dive-rolls like 90s Steven Seagal... Jesus Christ. Fucking comedy gold. But I suppose it's just my undying hatred of the opposite sex. I guess the blogs were right!
Thanks from adding that part about not feeling bad about not liking it. I wanted to see it, but it just didn't look good. The end where mike said he didn't like it because it had women in it, cracked me up. :p
Well, we've got Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which is essentially the third movie. Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. :)
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.

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.
"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.
You have to get the political agenda thing in there too, not only the cheap uncreative cash grab.

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."

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.
Seth Porter his suits have more artistic depth than his entire career...
This is why I love RLM: while everyone else was afraid to get called sexist and misogynistic these guys were expressing their opinions on Ghostbusters (and indeed on a bunch of these controversial blockbusters, especially Rogue One), and whether or not you like those films it's nice to see someone saying what they believe as opposed to what everyone else is saying.
Keep saying what you guys really believe, Mike, Jay, and Rich Evans.
Ian Hammock Angry Joe and TJ Kirk didn't hold back either,but RLM were most articulate about it.
All the Hollywood bullying. I think hollywood didn't care because everyone paid money to go see it after that point and couldn't care less what they said if they paid.
James Rolf on the other hand was labled sexist/racist/misogynist/rapist/basementdweller/2017electioncycle JUST for saying he wasn't going to go see it. He didn't even tell people not to go watch it, he just said he had no interest in it and yet he was the only one who got tore apart from it by small-media-outlets and celebrities for the TAMEST and most straight-forward comment he has ever done in his life.
Rogue One was controversial? did i miss something?
They don't like TFA anymore, they retconned their opinion on that. But they still shit on Rogue One even though it's a much better film. Jay even says in their Rogue One review that Daisy Ridley shows more charisma than Felicity Jones haha, fuck off. Possibly the most wrong he's ever been about anything.

@@r.daneel.90 No one had an idea. It was everyone’s fault, especially Disneys
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?

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.

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.
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?

@@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.

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.
Just watched this movie for the first time and something that stuck out to me was the lighting. There's so much neon blues reds and greens in the background that when they do take out those proton packs and start shooting it's not exciting because your eyes are already saturated with all the cartoony ghosts and lights in the background. They shot the climax of the movie in fucking times square, one of the brightest most flashy places on earth. If they wanted to make the proton packs special, go someplace dark and shoot the scene. Compared to the original with practical effects, makeup and miniatures this movie is dogshit.
Not to mention their proton packs look they were bought from Etsy and the ecto one looked like someone just dropped a telephone pole on it.
Great observation, something that I couldn't quite put my thumb on. Even more reason to never see it
It's the simple thing in the original, the contrast of the mundane and the fantastical,
One thing I love about the original, I'm 21 and enjoy 80's movies mind you, is that the Proton Packs were adamantly heavy. Hell, the movie commentary director mentioned that Harold Ramis complained the least about how heavy they were. So basically, it made sense in the story because it was incredible technology. But 2016 made them lightweight and made the busters themselves into badass warriors doing flips n' shit. I liked the original because it was a DISADVANTAGE against a fucking God.
Mike’s the most accurate way to watch this movie. Completely hammered.
"the point is... we can have the female equivalent of an Adam Sandler movie." oh god it all makes sense now.

Best comment
sorry i dont get the reference can somebody explain me ?
It's amazing to me how this is an issue whilst Denis Villeneuve has pretty much mastered the concept of "yeah, my lead is female, but it doesn't matter". Sicario and Arrival had female leads but did it matter? No. It was well written, masterfully edited drama that just happened to be female led and no-one noticed because it was incredible writing. Women can so easily be leads in action films, just as long as it's well controlled. Emily Blunt is one of the finest most versatile actors working today. From pot smoking cleaner to ROYALTY to assassin. Women can do it. It's just a case of producers being willing to accept this fact.
Films having female leads isn't a big deal. Or at least it wasn't until the appearance of various modern anti-feminist movements, the existence of which this film's principals awkwardly attempted to leverage for marketing purposes.
Just gotta agree that Emily Blunt is great.
Your point is valid, except for the small fact that both these Villeneuve movies were original creations that had the time to test themselves. Paul Feig just took an established property and retconned it.
The reason why neither film mentioned had to push identify politics is because they're both quality work that sell themselves. Also, identify politics weren't as big a marketing gimmick prior to 2016.
But if you don't virtue signal about having a BIPOC female lead, your movie is a piece of shit.
Two years later to the day, and it's exactly as Jay predicted:
"Ghostbusters" continues to refer to the original film, while "Ghostbusters 2016" refers to a horrendously unfunny remake that totally bombed at the box office.
When people mention the reboot, they immediately think, "bad movie."
They even changed the title to the new one, now it's called "Ghostbusters - Answer the call"
7 years later and it's still true.
Melissa McCarthy has gone from being pretty funny in a hand full of movies to STILL only being funny in a hand full of movies,10 years later.

The scene in Red Tails of the guy taking what should be a bunch of 30mm cannon shells in the chest as if somebody was throwing confetti at him will never leave me. I seldom witness such hilarious idiocy. Even from Lucas.
Mac Brown That fucking scene was so laughable just by the fucking stupidity of him taking that many shells into the chest. It’s like a child directed it. Also the Germans (of course) are a bunch of comic villains who hate blacks so much (guess George doesn’t know that blacks served in the Waffen-SS).
Red Tails could have been awesome.
But that movie sucked ass as well.
"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.
“Die Hard”
David Carradine pops up.
Red letter media and Angryjoeshow are the only shows on TH-cam I have seen that HAVE THE BALLS to call this movie for what it is.
Its GARBAGE, FUCKING GARBAGE.
Or maybe some people just thought it was okay?
OddMike No, its a government conspiracy.
Ángel Melendez I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not because there are people actually calling it a conspiracy
***** 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.
There are others. Like Comic Book Girl 19. She HATED this movie.
Oh thank Christ. I thought I was taking fucking crazy pills how many people I've seen say they liked this garbage.
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.
+azraelswrd Chris cuckman did an ok review of it. He called it for what it was, straight up mediocre.
+azraelswrd I really wanted to like this movie. Nobody believed that I did because I hated all the marketing and how everybody -- from Feig to Sony -- conducted themselves. But walking out of the theater -- after spending two hours watching my girlfriend bury her face in her hands, angry and frustrated at the trash she was witnessing -- I had the exact same reaction that Jay had: "That was Pixels Part 2."
But all of my friends are saying they liked it and I cannot grasp why. 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*. When McCarthy started throwing punches and Wiig started doing dive-rolls like 90s Steven Seagal... Jesus Christ. Fucking comedy gold.
But I suppose it's just my undying hatred of the opposite sex. I guess the blogs were right!
+nintendoluigi Exactly! SJW's beat people down with their relentless attacks.
I really thought it was less than mediocre. SO many of the "jokes" fell flat. And it was kinda boring.
These Star Wars comparisons ring differently after watching The Last Jedi
Yes agree
Watching the Last Jedi and Ghostbusters 2016 reviews are like therapy
Indeed
The Last Jedi at least got a handful of salvageable things going on. This thing, on the other hand, seems to have no redeeming qualities.
@@Mick_92 There was indeed a lot of good in TLJ and it sucks people fail to admit/ realize it.
Papa John got fired because he called a ghost the n-word.

Necronomiconian? 🤔
Ghostbusters was the most dissapointing thing since my son
don't you mean your wife's son
lol
But it's hard to be disappointed when your expectations are right next to dinosaur bones.
...mom?
but unlike my son who hung himself in a jail cell, this movie will never go away....
Thanks from adding that part about not feeling bad about not liking it. I wanted to see it, but it just didn't look good. The end where mike said he didn't like it because it had women in it, cracked me up. :p
The image of the original Ghostbusters doing ninja flips and bouncing around like action stars in my head is funnier than anything in this movie.
"Your communist government thinks the movie is witchcraft" will never fail to make me lose my shit
If you look at the shitty dan akroyd vodkA, you can see they've all had a couple shots by then lol
He wasnt even shitfaced at that point either.
Neil Breen should have directed this movie.
pippo luiz all movies
The original idea for Winston, was that he was fresh out of the Navy, and needed a job.
Yep.
Well, we've got Ghostbusters: The Video Game, which is essentially the third movie. Starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis. :)
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.
She invented women in film
