The ending is such a rushed mess. The whole "ice age" lasted for like 5 minutes only set in the firehouse. Even the OG had a big scale. All the released ghosts were never addressed. Frick it
>hes unleashing an army of ghosts
Not a single scene of this, just a wide shot of NYC with ghosts flying around and the end battle is in the garage of the fire house
EPIC
yeah what happened to all those ghosts at the end? Did they just get sucked back into the firehouse underground contraption? What happened to Slimer? Did Finn finally bust it? I have so many questions
>the end battle is in the garage of the fire house
They did a photoshoot of the old timers in the garage armed with proton packs. I thought it looked absurd. And suspected since they built the set, they'll be spending a lot of time there.
Interestingly they share some of the same problems. Bloated cast, too many characters doing side quests and they’re all separated for the most runtime.
If you go to Dan Aykrod's IMDB. He has twelve writing credits since the turn of the millennium. All of them are Ghostbusters related. He's credited are all: 'based on characters created by' or 'based on the 1984 film "Ghostbusters" written by'. Either in these sequels, the video games or fanfic films. His IMDB literally lists Ghostbuster fan films. It's sad. For a man who had so much juice in Hollywood in the '80s and '90s. Writing and starring in movies.
Nothing but Trouble probably killed his career. Not just because it was a flop and the studios got mad at him, but he probably suffered a lot. He moved on to vodka and house of blues so I think he hasn't really tried writing much
He claimed he literally had to borrow from his kid's college fund to pay to set up his vodka business. He might have made more money off his vodka then he did ghostbusters
its good vodka too, good for him. he should write books i think, landis had to trim blues brother's original script, and ramis had to do the same with ghostbusters first draft, nothing but trouble was a glimpse into his outlandish mind and i want to know more
Wasn't his first draft like hundreds of pages and included parenthetical things like the technical specifications of proton packs and paranormal myths? I'm sure I heard that somewhere.
yeah pretty much. this is what reitman said >It was set in the future...and it took place on a number of different planets or dimensional planes. And it was all action. There was very little character work in it. The Ghostbusters were catching ghosts on the very first page — and doing it on every single page after that — without respite, just one sort of supernatural phenomenon after another. By the 10th page, I was exhausted. By the 40th or 50th page — however many there were — I was counting the budget in hundreds of millions of dollars >Aykroyd's central premise revolved around an opening to another dimension that flooded the world with hordes of ghosts, and in reaction, multiple teams of "ghost smashers," both heroic and nefarious, went into business to combat the threat. Despite the inclusion of familiar elements, however, the differences between Aykroyd's original vision and the final film were stark. What would become one of cinema's most iconic vehicles, the Ectomobile was painted black and could "dematerialize," while the character that evolved into Slimer was dubbed "onion-head." And instead of incarcerating their trapped ghosts in a New York City fire station, the smashers held their paranormal prisoners in a New Jersey gas station that would ultimately explode and create a giant sinkhole. Despite being in the script, the villainous Gozer took on a variety of appearances, including that of an old man donning a suit and a large-scale, monstrous figure. And instead of a climactic battle atop a towering building, the script ended with its heroes transported to another dimension.

>Ernie in his "think of the children" scene was dumb.
his scene with ray was the best tho.
Felt like a meta way to tell Aykroyd to stop caring about ghosts so much
Agree, I'm a huge Aykroyd fan and I was impressed by his acting here. He's been phoning it in for decades, including Afterlife tbh, but he was actually good here. The thought that it might be because many of Ray's lines are things he has probably said irl crossed my mind.
I hope I can give the man a grandkid so he can tell him ghost stories
One thing I dont get is why they keep the Cadillac. I know it's an iconic movie vehicle and you need it for posters and all that, but if Winston is a millionaire that can build a whole lab, he can buy a new subaru station wagon or something, a faster, more reliable vehicle
The last 3 busters movies opened at 45-46 million and end up making 200 million overall,there's a hard ceiling in this IP.
But the toys sell a frick ton so they keep making it
Watchable but sadly ruined by modern crap i have to say kinda enjoy it but the girl is absolutely disgusting and ruins everything if they put the focus in the main story about the king ghost and the frozen age could be great but sadly ends being a zoomer bullshit
Why the frick do they insist on making this shit a multi movie franchise? The first Ghostbusters was fine but good Christ did we really need like a half dozen movies after that?
Haven’t watched it. But I assume it just another generic Hollywood slop
I liked then Phoebe turned into a ghost and scissor fricked the other girl ghost
I like it. It's a solid 4/10 but I wish there was more Finn in it. It deserves to bomb with the false advertisement
What's the false advertisement?
Half of the ads were focused on Finn's character even though he's in it for like 2 or 3 scenes. I reckon even Podcast had more presence than him
The only people who still care about Ghostbusters are millennials soys and Finn Wolfhard fans so it was marketed heavily toward them
I like the poster but the film is trash
The ending is such a rushed mess. The whole "ice age" lasted for like 5 minutes only set in the firehouse. Even the OG had a big scale. All the released ghosts were never addressed. Frick it

I think they all got loose, so this could easily lead into a new series of movies or a show about recapturing all the free ghosts.
>the end battle is in the garage of the fire house

this new ghostbuster shit is like strangers things v2
Interestingly they share some of the same problems. Bloated cast, too many characters doing side quests and they’re all separated for the most runtime.
So Pajeet just straight up being a magic user? They just use magic to fight ghosts now?
He is poo Kyo Kusanagi.
finn israelitehard and the paki gay are good enough reasons not to watch this piece of shit.
If upsidedownbyler says it's good then it must be good
Didn't see it. Don't want to see it.
It's a fun couple hours, but there's no reason why something like this should exist

Every Ghostbusters related toy sold he gets a check. He must be a billionaire by now
Owning a heap of Ghostbusters toys was an '80s kids thing. I hope he saved the cash, because I doubt they're selling like they used to
He claimed he literally had to borrow from his kid's college fund to pay to set up his vodka business. He might have made more money off his vodka then he did ghostbusters

Sounds like some Scientology shit
I think NA box office was decent, but holy frick 16M worldwide is terrible.
Probably no China release because they do afraid of ghosts
the childrape scene was a bit too extreme for my taste
i think logan kim is so much hotter more handsome now
At least Finn Wolfhard looks insanely good in the film

Bill Murray looks really old like shit. Should had not been there.
Ernie in his "think of the children" scene was dumb.
>Ernie in his "think of the children" scene was dumb.
his scene with ray was the best tho.

It’s weird. I thought the whole point is that Winston is now the leader of Ghostbusters? Then the next scene who told everyone to stop ghost busting
He was tellin ray that they're getting too old to get hurt doing the job,but Ray is too wreckless.Scene worked for me.
Hey why did Rudd tell Mckenna(an underaged girl) that he's circuncised?
?si=cox-425U60Qfm5m8
4:42
He was hoping Kenna would in return tell him if he's circumsized too and how long his feminine penis is.
>t. Stinky cheese dick
>Finn doesn’t know when circumcision is done
The interviewer is so punchable holyshit
I liked Ray taking Phoebe and Podcast to the library in his Harley. I'd watch a tv show of grandpa Ray and the kids.
Ray is the best thing in this,mostly because Dan believes everything he's saying so he's outacting everyone
Agree, I'm a huge Aykroyd fan and I was impressed by his acting here. He's been phoning it in for decades, including Afterlife tbh, but he was actually good here. The thought that it might be because many of Ray's lines are things he has probably said irl crossed my mind.

They just moved the car from Oklahoma to New York in the last film. Technically the car belongs to Trevor now since he fixed it up in the last film
>uses subaru for a week
>blows headgasket
keep the caddie
where are her breasts?
ur tellin me this shit makes enough money to warrant yet another movie?
The last 3 busters movies opened at 45-46 million and end up making 200 million overall,there's a hard ceiling in this IP.
But the toys sell a frick ton so they keep making it
Watchable but sadly ruined by modern crap i have to say kinda enjoy it but the girl is absolutely disgusting and ruins everything if they put the focus in the main story about the king ghost and the frozen age could be great but sadly ends being a zoomer bullshit

There is no creativity left.
