Fun fact: I had some guys from a high end security firm in my studio, and they told me about the time they were working a private dinner in Toronto. Around the table was Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Ivan Reitman, and a few other people. They were there for about 20 minutes before Bill Murray got up from the table and walked out. As he passed my security friend he muttered “Well that was a waste of time.” Turns out that was the meeting where the OG cast was being informed the studio was going in this reboot direction, and would be holding them all to the contracts they signed when they thought they were doing GB3. Whoopsie!

But on it's own, i think GB2 is a pretty good flick. GB'16 on the other hand: has some funny moments, but i felt was a pretty 'meh' movie overall. It felt like an SNL sketch that just went on far too long. From A+ to F, I'd grade as follows - original GB: A GB2: B- GB'16 C-

My problem with the whole "EVERYBODY CAN BE A GHOSTBUSTER!!" theming that this and even the new film seems to be doing is, yeah? No shit. The whole point of the first movie was these were some schlubs starting a business. The fan idea for decades of retiring the original cast and just moving them up the corporate ladder and franchising the company, always made the most sense from an in-universe stance. You dont need to do multiple intersecting paralel realities or treat the Ghostbuster title like its some super hero power that must be passed on to a new team. Extreme Ghostbusters and the 2009 game were the only pieces of media that seems to understand that concept of the franchise.

The reason why they were Ghostbusters in the first place is because they were geniuses on the level of Einstein that were capable of creating a thermo-nuclear device that can catch ghosts. So no, everyone cannot be a Ghostbuster.

What happens when those employees are required to do actual complex scientific experiments, and the original Ghostbusters are dead and gone?

@@Rubberbandfan1 I mean you could say that about any technology after the original creators are long dead. The entire premise of Extreme Ghostbusters was Egon training a new team to use the equipment and them figuring out how it operates through the series. Would only make sense that he would pass on the knowledge to others who could understand the science behind it down the line if the company grew. Its not like the automotive industry is hiring random people off the street and telling them "ok you design the engine", they get people with backgrounds to work on that kind of thing, but you still need workers doing the actual labor. I just dont see them being "heroes" in the traditional sense seeing as they specifically are shown operating as a business, even the 80s cartoon continued that idea.

@@Rubberbandfan1 By ‘anyone’ I think the point is it’s a trainable job. Not everyone who flies a starship in Star Trek could build a warp drive. But once the ‘machine’ was built you could hire and train (theoretically) anyone able to absorb the skills of the job or specific smaller jobs surrounding the main job and use the equipment effectively. I use to work in a factory that built race car batteries (they made other stuff, but that was my department). We handled pretty dangerous stuff but everyone handled a tiny part of the job. The engineers designed the systems and broke down the jobs into the individual jobs each person did. Some of the people doing those smaller individual jobs hadn’t gotten past high school diplomas. But they knew facts about some of the processes they were handling because they were trainable in that job.

The way it always feels very bright and like it is on a set makes me think of the Scooby Doo movies. Lots of bright lights and colours in the background that do pop, but make it all look artificial.

The villain is a much bigger threat than the last one in my opinion and it’s a lot scarier than I remember, I mean the decapitated heads in the subway comes to mind and the red room scene.

That's the biggest issue for me. I mean, it's cool they go the Real Ghostbusters route, but they never fully explain it.

I remember watching this movie and glancing at the clock, realising that I was nearly an hour in and hadn't laughed once. I think I may have cracked a smile at one point, but that was about it. This movie's biggest failing is that its a comedy that just isn't funny. Ghostbusters 2 was a pale imitation of the first, but it had far more humour in it than this. The big thing that was so funny about Ghostbusters is that it was a mix of slapstick and deadpan. It has simple humour that kids could laugh at and complex humour that only adults would understand. Ghostbusters 2 was less successful at this, but it still had it. The 2016 movie thought it was doing the same thing because it had an actor make a queef joke with a straight face. That just showed a complete lack of understanding of the comedy of the original and its repeated throughout the entire film. Its not crap because it stars four women. Its crap because its crap.

Louis wasn't actually stupid either, he's taken over by an entity who is unfamiliar with the world. That's where his comedy comes from and has written reasons for it. Ghostbusters 2016 was just poorly and lazily written all around. Almost none of the jokes had to do with what was going on. It was just all random. A classic example of this is Redlettermedia's explanation of Mcarthy yelling at the villian to come get his virginity out of the lost and found. The joke makes no sense because nobody put enough effort into thinking about it. Also I can see how progressive they're thinking is throwing out insults as narrow minded as that.

Spot on with the character analysis. Modern comedy is terrified to have a "straight man/woman" character who contrasts with the absurdity of a situation. Not everyone has to be a quippy snark, it gets exhausting. Some of the funniest characters ever (like Egon) are the ones that can sell a line that's not funny on paper, but when everyone in the cast is dropping winky-nudgy one liners that important aspect of comedy can't shine through.

I feel you there. I have a similar feeling to "Thor: Ragnarok". Sure, it's a "funny" movie by all accounts, but it's more funny by virtue of just throwing jokes and imagery to the wall and seeing what sticks, and for me, I'm more a fan of more discipline humor. I may not be always laughing, but I'd be laughing stronger than if I was thrown a bunch. It's why I thought Guardians 2 was funnier by comparison. It had it's clunkers here and there, but I got way more laughs than not because they had a touch more discipline to them.

It's not terrified, it's just too lazy. Writing that takes more effort than letting your actors continuously riff and hoping you can craft something comedically well-timed in the editing. A big part of the reason for this is management and production not valuing artists and craftspeople on the most foundational level of the creative side (writers) enough to pay them what's necessary to fund that kind of effort.

The big problem with this movie is that *everyone* is playing a cartoon, and they're all cranked up to 11 at all times. The first movie works because you have believable, down-to-earth people there reacting to the guys and all the weirdness around them.

And I don’t know if there’s really any that are completely awful to sit through (except for maybe Molly Shannon’s Superstar).

A huge amount of the film is basically just Paul Feig putting people in a room and going "Ok, now be funny!", letting them riff about random stuff for hours with no structure and then cobbling the best bits into scenes. It's why the characters feel so weird and disjointed, and veer wildly between being naturalistic yet slightly quirky (e.g. Wiig, McCarthy and Jones) and operating completely on complete cartoon logic (e.g. Hemsworth and McKinnon). It's an example of very poor implementation of improv.

Ali G did it with that movie, that was all improv and he took that into a movie and made it work. I think its largely just about having characters and stories that actually make some sort of sense and have a logically consistency in tone and characters. Ghostbusters 2016 does not and the jokes are duds giving zero things to keep my attention….

I maintain that the original Ghostbusters was a story about neurodivergents who become celebrated heroes, which is why ATC's Holtzmann is the only character who truly feels like a Ghostbuster. Her combination of odd and brilliant is spot on, and absolutely believable as the kind of person who plays the tech role. But who plays the Ray Stanz role, the ADHD book nerd with an encyclopedic knowledge of the occult? Who is the savvy con, the dealmaker, the Peter Venkman who can weasel, bluff, and charm their way through the logistics of starting a business? Who is the hardworking blue collar outsider who can understand and appreciate these oddballs without judgment and advocate for their worth? You're absolutely right. The other ATC characters just aren't as clearly defined, and the film ultimately suffers for it.

Further to your comments around the 8 minute mark about grimy New York vs feeling like everything was a set, this is actually one (of many) reasons I feel like the 2014 Ninja Turtles movie was such a dud. Ghostbusters and the TMNT films almost follow the same path. First movie was in a rough NYC and was a way better movie than anyone expected while being both serious and funny at the same time. The Sequel had it's bright spots, but was way more commercial/family friendly and really works best as a nostalgic viewing rather than a standalone film. And then the reboot movie comes and it's just too Hollywood. Everything feels super formulaic, comedy feels forced, and the whole thing just looks and feels to sanitary to be NYC.
