    A German trailer shows....

    Check it out at the 8-9 second mark.
    Blink and you'll miss it.

    The only movie I might go see in theaters is Spider-Man: No Way Home.

    I wouldn't put it past them to roll the dice like that, worst case scenario the Feig movie generates a New Coke sort of backlash that drives the CHUDs to more sure Afterlife is a hit out of pure spite.

    I thought it was a bit dull unfortunately. Not terrible but it didn’t seem to get what made the original movie so funny.

    The original Ghostbusters were not trying to be heroes. They were just trying to make some money and stumbled into a world ending scenario they didn’t know how to stop. The movie was entirely self deprecating and cynical. I think the 2016 movie tried to do this but the jokes were horribly unfunny.

    This new one felt lifeless. They brought back the same villain for some reason. There was a fun scene with the Ecto-1 chasing a ghost around town while kids blew up everything with equipment they shouldn’t have been handling but the rest was just Nostalgia: The Movie.

    The characters were way less annoying here than in the 2016 movie but they also weren’t very interesting. I didn’t care about any of them. The girl was the most interesting character but she didn’t have a character arc. She just started out as a braniac and figured out everything that was going on while the other characters tagged along.

    The little girl did a good job with what they gave her to work with. She gave a good performance but the rest of the cast didn’t have much else to do in the film. I saw the film yesterday and already forgot the names of the characters.

    I see folks online saying the movie was a tearjerker and was very emotional for them. To me that completely misses the point of what Ghostbusters was about. The whole concept is just supposed to be an extended joke. It’s not an emotional drama.

    It’s weird. The 2016 movie was a bad comedy. This one wasn’t even trying to be a comedy. It was aimed at 40-50 year olds who played with the Ghostbusters toys when they were young. Look, the car! Look, proton packs! Look, the Terror Dogs!

    Yes I was one of those kids. But at some point you get tired of rehashing the 80s over and over again. It’s more watchable and less cringe than the 2016 movie but overall kind of meh.

    I have zero interest in ever watching the 2016 movie again. This one I might watch again at some point but there isn’t much new here… you could just slap in your DVDs of the original 80s movies and get your fix that way.

    McKenna Grace (the genius girl), I'm familiar with as Faith Newman on The Young and the Restless. Making shit scripts shine is something she has plenty of experience with and everyone in that fandom a been cheering her on. She's gonna have a career that will outshine this clunker movie to be sure :yes:

    Weird, the critics loved GB:ATC, and the audiences didn't, this one, the audiences are loving it, and the critics are "meh".
    Go figure.
