I liked China O'Brian, but don't see your point 🤔

He probably thinks your in your early 20s or younger and once you get a bit older you are going to realize how terrible this Ghostbusters reebot really is.  Im pretty sure that is his point.

And when i was a kid i liked American Ninja movies with Michael Dudikoff. Shitty trash at its best.

 

Well the first American Ninja movie was actually halfway decent but I get your point.

I liked it for the most part, and I grew up watching Ghostbusters I and II all the time as a kid. I don't think it's a classic or anything, and I will ALWAYS prefer the original movies.

I just wish it wasn't so drawn out. It FELT like a really long SNL sketch. Every scene was just full of joke after joke. There was a lot they could have edited out. And the ending was just ridiculous... Though I admit a giant Stay Puft marshmallow man is also pretty ridiculous XD



I'm not gonna watch it. I'm a huge fan of the old films. From what I know of this new film, they took a shit all over what made the older films great.



Well that's your opinion Paul Feig and you're entitled to it.

But holy hell was it hot trash, it was like a bad fan movie made by someone that wasn't actually a fan at all.

@fei-hung that's my problem with the originals, in can't remember a single moment when they were funny, and as a comedy, that I'd poor. They were entertaining, but not funny

That was the genius of it. The dialogue was entertaining and real as supposed to forced slapstick. It's the kind of dialogue that you tend to naturally have with friends etc. 

 

The original Ghostbusters was about a group of friends who had distinctive personalities that people can relate to. The nerdy friend who grafts, the lucky. Popular shit who waltzes through life etc. 

 

Naturally, there are different forms of comedy: slapstick, intelligent comedy, sexual comedy, political comedy etc. The original and reboot are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. 

 

The fact remains that Sony didn't deliver what people wanted and as a result it flopped. Yes, they will be fans of the new one but the largest target audience was left out and as a result they lost out big. 

 



You have the right for a wrong opinion =p ... but perhaps you have less nostalgia for the first and this is why you think like this.

It was a piece of shit movie contrived and invented to capitalize on the social justice fad. Glad it bombed... glad it's dead.

I'm yet to see any SJW oriented movie, game or comic really sell well... SJW bark a lot but doesn't buy when they get what they asked for and will blame the general market for being narrowminded and not buying it

I'm just gonna say it too!

I didn't even bother to watch it. I'm that uninterested.

First 2 were funny for their time though.
