It was fun and entertaining. Not as fun as the first Ghostbusters movie but I enjoyed it!
The battle of Time Square was great and the cameo were cool.
Too bad there was such a bad buzz.

I like the new 2016-movie much more than the first ones (1984, 1989). It's a great team, wonderful, lovable characters and a great story. I think, it's because of Peter Venkman I prefer the new one so much. I'm not a great fan of Bill Murray at all, although I like him very much as voice of Garfield, but I can't stand the movie-Peter in any way. He's an absolute No-Go for me. That's no good basis to enjoy a movie. My personal order of favorite is: 3rd movie, 2nd movie, 1st movie By the way: Have you noticed the little homage to our boys in the new movie?  |

The new movie is absolutely disgusting, big treason to Ghostbusters original, a business machine only for money, $ony and Paul Fig make a nasty political movie to promote feminism et anti-male extremism, with many humiliations and other things.
The uniforms is TOTALY inapropriate. I see two time this movie (one time in english and another in French) and my idea is clear, I definitely hate this movie.
BTW, a big dicatorship machine opened in Facebook and tweeter by many "fans" against the "haters" consider us like a terrorists... so, I't very sad and totaly and deeply stupid.

I don't know why there should be any reason, someone should not be allowed to speak one's mind. We are all adult people. It's natural that everyone has his/her own point of view, no need to judge about it. So you're very welcome to me, kaison, even though I have an other opinion about the new movie. <(°°<)

I will let you know. |

(OFF TOPIC: I'm not sure how, but I appear to be automatically logged in...)
ON TOPIC: I saw it on opening day, and have rented the DVD from the library at least twice since then. Strangely, it seems to improve a little more after a couple of times.
Speaking as a lifelong fan of both franchises, I say that it's really not that bad on its own merits. It's perhaps overlong in places and needs some immediate explanations in others (for example, the "nuclear reactor" on top of ECTO-1 needed to be established earlier), but on the whole the story is more thought-out and given a better timeframe than the original. (Seriously: The span of time from the guys going into business, to Dana finding the terror dog in her fridge, to the first bust could be anywhere from a few months to a few days, and there needed to be a few more signifiers.)
Also, GB-16 isn't a carbon-copy of the original. The beats are familiar, but there are many, many divergences. I liked that the quartet actually came alive as characters right from the beginning, as opposed to "Bill Murray character," "Dan Aykroyd author-insert," "emotionless mad scientist," and "third-act everyman." (That being said, I can't really blame GB-84 for its shortcomings, given that it had to be completed within less than one year.)
I'll continue on with why it got the reception it did later on.

It's natural that everyone has his/her own point of view, no need to judge about it. So you're very welcome to me, kaison, even though I have an other opinion about the new movie. <(°°<) Okay...Let's get one thing straight. Things like Facebook and Twitter are quasi-public platforms for speaking one's mind. You have to sign up for them, but they're by and large open to the public. This has its upsides and downsides, as you will see. Here's what happened: - Not only did lifelong fans heap negativity on the reboot; so did people with brand-new accounts, set up solely for the purpose of poking the hornet's nest.
- The diehard fans, who were so emotionally-invested in their beloved franchise, not only heaped criticism upon the reboot itself, but also got personal about the cast and crew. Some even wished harm upon those involved.
- Ghostbusters fan-pages quickly became a mess of drunken rants, mudslinging, and hurling abuse at each other.
- The ones involved refused to follow group rules and found themselves kicked out of their groups.
In short: You don't like the reboot? Fine. You have legitimate criticisms about aspects of it? Go right ahead. You think it's the worst thing ever to have graced the silver screen? No problem. You think it's worth the trouble of venting about online in a drunken rage, with plenty of expletives and abuse to go round? That's not okay. You think anyone who doesn't like it is inherently defective or should kill themselves? That's not okay. You post about hoping for some kind of an accident to happen on-set to cast or crew? That's certainly not okay.You comment on wanting to run over Paul Feig and the cast in your replica '84 ECTO-1? THAT'S REALLY NOT OKAY. You publicly plan on causing a furore at the world premiere and actively try to gin up support from various other groups? Yeah...We're probably going to have to have a friendly chat in private. ============================================================================================================================== There's dislike, there's hatred, and then there's that. The Facebook GB groups got seriously ugly, almost like Fib Face had gotten into a bunch of them and started sowing discord (or, if you prefer, a river of negative mood slime flowed through them). I wish I had screenshots of some of that, but at the time I was trying to stay the hell away from all that. After you read hundreds and hundreds of posts like that, it starts to affect your thinking. |

By the way: Have you noticed the little homage to our boys in the new movie? Yes! Is it the fact that Rowan is basically Airhead from the episode "Mummy Dearest" (i.e. a sentient bundle of cloth grown to giant size)? |

Something else I was thinking about the other day.
One of the biggest complaints about it is that it doesn't follow "the canon," and that it should have been in a new franchise.
I can KIND OF agree with that to an extent. However, to take that approach would have signaled that GB-16 was being made *for the fans*, not for the average cinemagoer.
I need time to gather my own thoughts on this, but...Your two cents, anyone?
