Ghostbusters 3 in the Works

RLM kind of liked it. Not exactly the best endorsment.

Just saw it.

Other than his rightful bashing of the 2016 film, I'm going to pretty much disagree with everything @Zor Prime posted (including his assessment of the original characters' motivations -- except for Zeddemore, who really was just looking for a paycheck).

I tend to agree more with @Diacanu's review.

The movie took a while to get going and it's not perfect by any stretch, but it was a lot of fun and definitely the Ghostbusters film we've deserved since the 1984 original.

Red Letter Media can suck a giant dick.

Does anyone take those idiots seriously?

Don't be a dick about things you don't like.

Exactly. Tell that to the Red Letter Media assholes.

I don't know if audiences hated ACT as much as the autistic screeching of a very small very vocal minority drowned out the rest of the conversation surrounding the film.

Sony also fanned the flames by calling people who didn’t like the movie a misogynist. Dicky did this as well.

For the most part that was an entirely accurate description of the films detractors, especially the ones that started attacking it while it was only at the casting announcement stage. Though technically the dudes that wouldn't stop calling Leslie Jones an ape were racists as well as misogynists.

Ivan Reitman is in the movie as...

Saw it. Loved it. Hit all the right buttons for me.

Jason Reitman and his writing partner have signed a deal with Sony to make more films.
And fans have asked him on social media why there wasn't more Ghostbusters 2 stuff, and what happened to the Ecto1-A from GB2, and he said "those questions have answers, perhaps in another film".
So...we're getting Afterlife 2, and it'll probably be a GB2 sequel.

My theory?
Afterlife 2, Vigo.
Afterlife 3, remake crossover.

Do you enjoy working in the laundry?

I absolutely loved it. Had a blast, laughed, got caught up in the excitement, love all the characters, new and old, made me feel like a kid again.

Oh boy, @Diacanu 's gonna lose it.

I skimmed, and the critic was all whiny with "this movie is such a mess!! Waahh!! " so I clicked away.
Standard issue contrarian hipster.
Bored now.

Own the flick, seen it 2 more times.
Read the whole thing.
Stand by my assessment.

Fair enough. I still think there are some fundamental flaws to the film which the article covers fairly well (I wanna call the phenomenon "Picard syndrome "), but other people enjoying things doesn't cause me any harm personally. I'm glad it worked for you.

Finally saw this and I enjoyed it. I agree with @Zor Prime that it didn't feel like it was trying to be a comedy as much, but I feel like it still captured the spirit of the original Ghostbusters. And I still enjoyed it.

I didn't hate the 2016 Ghostbusters, but that just felt more like another Kristin Wiig/Melissa McCarthy movie that happened to be Ghostbuster themed. Kate McKinnon was the best part of that movie.

I enjoy their stuff. I don't always agree with their reviews (and even the main two guys sometimes disagree between themselves), but I appreciate their viewpoints and enjoy their humor.

So, I finally saw it. While watching it I really found myself wanting it to be a well funded series rather than a movie. I liked the characters, and I wanted a more expanded revelation. I did enjoy the movie, but I wanted longer to have fun with it.

It did not need to be a comedy to be a decent movie. However, it did have you rooting for them. I just end up looking at all the elements and it really could have been expanded into a season or two for this arc and really brought a fun new face onto an old classic. That is where they really dropped the ball. limiting this to a movie was not a good choice seeing what they did do with it.

Saw it, liked it. A substantial improvement over ATC. The nostalgia notes were mostly right on.

Honest trailer.

So when I watched Afterlife, and I saw

I had the thought "Gee, that actress kinda reminds me of Olivia Wilde."



Yeah. Can't slip anything past me.

Finally watched it. It wasn't bad, but it's the same exact plot from the first one. The kids weren't bad. Paul Rudd's character was stupid though. He knew about the Ghostbusters and decides to open the trap thus kicking off the whole thing. Other complaints that were in that now famous article Ray didn't believe Egon, really? The kids being able to carry the proton packs, I thought they were supposed to be really heavy? Overall, I'm glad I didn't see this in theaters. I stand by my statement that they should just let this franchise die and stop chasing ghosts.
