1. GHOSTBUSTERS, whether good or bad, doesn’t need to be a referendum on female-driven comedies so long as we keep making them anyway.
2. it gives me no pleasure to report that GHOSTBUSTERS is a lazy, uninspired rehash of pre-existing iconography. at a certain point in the movie, the ghostbusters are attacked by their own logo — i sure know how they feel. ironically (in light of the misogyny directed its way), the gender-swap is the only thing this movie has going for it.
3. per Daniel Fienberg: "Nobody’ll buy this, but: If you pre-judge something for a year based on nothing, even if it *does* suck, it doesn’t mean you were 'right.'"
4. Kate McKinnon is indeed delightful, even…
i rented this on amazon & paid the extra dollar for HD so i could see kate mckinnon lick the gun as clearly as possible
71/100
Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, and Chris Hemsworth. Ghostbusters: Answer the Call has one hell of a cast up its sleeve, and this reboot/nostalgia hybrid succeeds because of the joke-after-joke-after-joke chemistry molded through Paul Feig's streak of modern, witty comedies. He has a knack for taking a room full of varied characters and supplying humor in sharp, frequent bursts. It's a film of improvisation, goofy personalities, spooky thrills, and a gigantic save the city climax. Robert Yeoman's cinematography in particular is brightly fluid and colorful, capturing the otherworldly beauty of portals, silly ghostbusting contraptions, and the various haunted locals with a degree of grace and style. It feels - and looks - like a fun horror…
KATE MCKINNON!!!!!!!!!!!! LESLIE JONES!!!!!!!!!!! THE #SYMBOLISM OF SHOOTING THE GHOST IN THE DICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It feels... empty? There is a disconnect here, something wrong with this film that resides, I think at this time, in the characters. In the dialogue, which is as far from human as possible while still being recognizable words. In the pacing, which gives no time for motivation and development to breath, no time for the world to come alive. Something is introduced, then it is whisked away, making it seem less like settings and myth-building, and more like excuses. The foreshadowing is lacking, perhaps, in the things that will turn out to matter. It doesn't come with surprises; it just makes the film feel abbreviated (despite an engorged runtime).
Perhaps it's the manner of the humor. I don't think…
Is it good?
Really sad to say this, but no, it isn't.
But... But Rotten Tomatoes...
Rotten Tomatoes is broken.
But some are saying it's just as good as the original...
Yeah, I'm not even a huge fan of the original, but even I'd say that's blasphemy. You'd have to be ashamed of yourself if you think 2016 Ghostbusters is just as good or better than 1984 Ghostbusters. I'd love to read a detailed analysis on how one could come to that conclusion, because I couldn't think of a single thing that this movie does better. You can't say it's funnier. You can't say the story's any better. You definitely can't say the characters are…
Crazy how this is one of the best movies ever made. Ghostbusters (1984)? Shook. Every Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, and David Fincher film? Shook. Citizen Kane? Shook. The film industry in general? Shook.
Paul Feig is evidently good at getting talented performers to stand around in a room improv-ing one-liners, but he has always been terrible at making actual movies out of that. This is another one that looks like crap and has no pace to speak of. It makes the already extremely loose original seem like a tightly structured clockwork narrative by comparison. Audience ate it up though, so what do I know?
3 funny women (and Kate McKinnon) with zero chemistry and nothing to work with. Also those effects were Scooby Doo levels of shit.
i still have so much fun watching this.
also the score during the final fight scene. my god.
Blockbuster, ça c'est sûr ! Blockbuster américain qui massacre l'original et utilise la nostalgie des gens pour faire de l'argent.
Just keep talking, eventually we’ll say something funny.
Just keep talking, there’s enough talent in the room so one of us must be able to think of a great joke.
Just keep talking, one of the 200 ad-libs we just did might actually be useable in post.
Just keep talking, we can’t have any silence or the audience might realise we only wrote scene outlines but didn’t script any actual jokes before getting onto the set.
Just keep talking, even if means referencing & recycling lines from better movies without any clever spin or worthwhile reason for saying it.
Just keep talking, maybe it’s time for Leslie to start screaming because loud equals funny.
Just keep talking just keep talking just keep…
Imagine you only have three hours left to live so you tell someone to put on ghostbusters for you.then it turns out to be the 2016 one instead of the actually good one
I think I would come back from the dead just to kill myself again
Watched the Extended Edition today and good fucking god it is worse than the original.
