RanMouri82 Millions of movies are made for male audience’s fantasy or aims to make them feel good about themselves. You should go watch those and let ladies have their moments cuz there ain’t much female targeted films.
@@cindydarchin9295 cause it’s not like older movies had positive female action leads. I’ll take Ripley, Sarah Conner, Selene, Princess Leia, anyone from the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, and the bride over captain Marvel any day
@@cindydarchin9295 its as if you have never heard of alien franchise. It's like you can have actually good female lead while not dragging other cast down inorder to make her look better.
That's really not an argument. The ORIGINAL Ghostbusters started out of nothing and no one asked for it. Because nobody knew they wanted it until it existed. Generally, what people want is not something to waste time talking about because nobody knows what they want until they've got it, and then they want the hell out of it. Or in the case of this movie, *don't* want the hell out of it. >.>
" The Tits are back." I had to replay this multiple times. It was hilarious. Unlike Ghostbusters 2016. I was stoned when I watched it, and I didn't find it funny. Fart jokes can be funny, but you have to do it right. (Like the classic leather chair.) For "The Dumb Hunk" Trope, their stupidity needs to match their bulk.
The thing I hated the most in this movie was when they had Bill Murray as a cameo(and he was dressed in a lady's hat, but I digress), but one of the ghost busters releases the only ghost they managed to catch to show him, and then the ghost throws him out the window, making him plummet to his death. Then Lesile Jones' character, looks down upon his dead body and says "Guess he wasn't REALLY ghostbuster material." Like lady, shut the hell up, did you manage to be funny and not sexist in this movie? You know, like the ORIGINAL ghost busters? No. You had to prop yourself up with stereotypes and tearing men down just to get a slight giggle from one child in the audience.
The whole GB2016 thing, the movie and the promotional stuff, was like someone walked up to you, burped in your face and then got offended when you didn't like it. It was one of the most tone deaf things I've ever seen.
I cannot wait until the day that i get to tell someone, "it's like you walked up to me, burped in my face, then got offended when i didn't like it." Thank you in advance! 😂😃😄😅
It’s funny cause you blame the writers when these actresses ad libed most of their lines. Especially Leslie Jones. I feel her stereotypical portrayal of the Angry Black Female with every troupe and catch phrase lifted from every Chris Tucker movie set the race back 20 years. It was beyond hard to watch.
"Quick, change the channel!" * Looks over in questioning manner* My gosh, I have laughed more from that alone more than the newer Ghostbusters movie. That's just sad.
Which is why it sucked dick. The scenes were not done like: "and here comes the well prepared joke of the scene" They were like: "this scene is boring, ladies could you throw a joke or two in there?" or "we need a joke in this scene, ladies we gonna film like 6-8 hours of you improvising so we could choose one 30 seconds long moment as the joke of the scene". Not to mention that the main cast had no defined characters. You have black woman stereotype as the most defined character from the main cast. Then you have funny/crazy, funny/fat and funny/awkward. While in the original, just lets take Egon as an example. He wasn't funny because he was supposed to be funny. He was funny because he was serious and scientific without breaaking this persona too much.
I'm so happy I found you on RU-vid a week ago. It's cool to hear the opinions of a real down to earth women. It's refreshing to listen to a woman that's not afraid to tell it like it is. Thank you for being that voice I so desperately needed to have in my life. Keep kicking ass and being yourself 👍🇺🇸
I was one of only nine people who were watching the new Ghostbusters when it screened in my town One was a little girl She was the only one who laughed at the jokes in the movie And even she stopped laughing Halfway through the first act
It's a generic summer blockbuster that drops its IQ and maturity level as soon as a male character interacts with the main characters. If it was like the very opening I'm sure it would've gotten a lot of less flak if they had treated these characters like characters than a big 'F You' to any movie goer who has more intelligence than a Q-tip covered in ear gunk.
My darling I've loved every video you've posted especially your response to the 36 questions from women to men but sweetheart please invest in a swaggin sound recording system. Pretty please because your content is top quality
I now found the reason I've been feeling violated, thank you, I realized that I received a "shit in the face" when I watched this film as a Ghostbusters fan. That was my first, "Shit in the face". Thank you, I can forgive and live in peace, for I shall rise above the shit.
Lmfao ''No, theres no *guy* behind me with cheeto dust all over his fingers with a gun to my head...'' hahahahaha sheeeeeiit.....*ahem*....will you marry me?
The crotch shot was the worst in the movie. That's like...beating a woman ghost by ripping off her breasts. It just stopped what fractional subtly the sexist message had and made it a public thing. Imagine beating a black ghost with a whip and watermelons. Or an Asian ghost with math and a driver's test. This is just...damn.
I hear what your saying...but... you have to be careful. Your right to say that a joke might be found to be offensive...but...if we're going to live in a world where jokes exist we as a people should be emotionally sturdy enough to hear crude and harsh things in the proper setting such as at a comedy club or during a movie. Just because you laugh at a race related joke that does not make you a racist. Just because you laugh at a gender based joke that does not make you a sexest. We as Americans have got to start standing up for freedom of speech again. And realize that the speech that needs the most protection is the speech that is offensive. You seem like a nice person and I'm not mad at you or anything like that. I just thought that I would share this stuff with you 😁 don't feel the need to respond if you don't want to. Have a good day 🤗
Franchises are mostly paint by numbers and the studio just needs a body in the director chair. You have no real creative control. That’s why the majority of respected directors stay away from those kinds of movies and do their own thing. It’s a miracle the Nolan Batman movies turned out so well, because you KNOW the studio wanted to put their hands all over that shit.
@@hothotheat3000 That's true. People are lauding the Russo brothers for Captain America and the Avengers, but they weren't the captains. Kevin Feige was. If Winter Soldier wasn't as fantastic as it was, they would've been thrown out the same way Jon Favreau was after Iron Man 2 (yet for some reason they kept him as Happy Hogan?)
@@JoelKellenProductions and then proceeded to replace him with Shane Black and make an awfully unfunny, poorly written, punch in the face film who then also was hired to do "the predator" which was leagues worse. Gotta admit I think there is some double-blame there from those whom hired and making two really awful films in the franchises.
Yup...so nice to see a real review from a female who wasn't paid off or bullied by Sony to lie. The reviewers that are saying "meh, it's average". No, it's not. Angry Joe, Mr. Repzion, and JLongbone got it perfectly right. It was un-funny, cringey, Jokes were written for people who rode the short bus to school, and Paul Feig should have never been let anywhere near this franchise. Like you said, I feel bad for the actresses as the material given to them is somewhere around the Disney Channel live sitcom level. Well done on the review +JLongbone!
You made me laugh way more than the movie did to be frank. Your reactions to the dumb things that happened in the movie were hilarious. And the ending statement was brilliant.
Paul Feig is officially a notoriously shitty director! Any director who allows his/her cast to constantly go off script and hijack the movie with endless, flat adlibbing and mind-numbing improvisation that goes absolutely nowhere and barely holds the story together is a shitty director. The director's job is to DIRECT the actors and production. Not sit back and let the actors waste hours and hours of time hamming it up and trying to one-up each other with cringy improv.
*uses his best Butt-head impression* "I love you" I think the only thing i remember going "oh heyyyy!" was when i seen slimer.. but then close to the end when they show a Slimer female.. i was like "ohhhhh... why?"
My girfriend went to watch it with my cousin and they left during the movie. They said it was so bad, they couldn't focus on the story, just on how bad everything was. They felt so much fremdscham for the actresses that they had to leave.
Hilarious review! Thank you for being honest and bless for labeling it as sexist, because it totally is. The amount of women I've seen calling idiotic "gotchas" on people (who they all assume to be men) saying that it's sexist af that all the male characters are terrible is some 3rd grade level bullshit "Well they did it to us first! Now they know how it feels, lulz", and killing the villain by shooting him/it/whatever in the crotch? Petty and idiotic honestly. Anyway thanks for the laughs and the awesome review!
Your Heath Ledger Joker avatar reminded me how awesome he was in that role. He fucking KILLED it. Even better than Nicholson's portrayal which is no easy feat. Then again Jack always plays Jack, but it worked in Batman.
I judged the new team on their ability to catch Ghosts. On that alone they failed miserably. Also they deserve many sins for making proton packs destroy the ghosts. That makes zero sense.
And didn't they have ghost traps? Like the laser beam ghost bear trap? They couldn't even follow the rules within this universe that the movie itself established.
Finally someone else who has an issue with KILLING THE FUCKING UNDEAD! I mean how can someone fuck up the Idea that "If I try to kill the dead I will lose" philosophy?
I’ve said this before, but I kinda hope that they’d keep GB2016 ”canon” by having it appear as an in-universe movie in the upcoming Ghostbusters 3. Because it’s quite certain that if the Ghostbusters existed in the real world, the would have merch and movies about them! GB2016 would be an in-universe parody of them. ;D
Thank you! I was worried I was the only female who hated this movie. To me it's a misogynistic pile of puke. Especially the way Erin was written. And I'm sick and tired of people trying to claim there's no fat jokes when Abby's obsession with soup is obviously a long running fat joke. "Haha, she's fat, so shes obsessed with food. So funny!" Patty was the only good character and Leslie Jones deserves to be a lead in a much better movie.
This movies biggest problem was Paul Feig. He wrote and directed it, casted it and Sony let him do whatever he wanted and he delivered this shit nugget for 144 million dollars. ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. How!? Hell, Paul Feig is even to blame for all the flat improvised lines and jokes that made it into the movie. I'm sure he crapped his pants laughing at the dumb "Mike Hat" joke, or Melissa McCarthy's rants about flying babies and wonton soup, but that stuff was painful to watch on screen.
Real women recognized that they should only pay attention to the real men in their lives just like they should only pay attention to the true and real honest women in their lives as Role Models as well there's always going to be fakes on both sides
The ladies were MORE than capable of making this a blockbuster hit... but it was written shitty and preachy. And EASILY the worst point of all... ...it wasn't a sequel. Even though the trailer tricked people to think so for a moment. What a stab wound THAT was to us fans.
You have great reviews. Every movie review I see trashing Ghostbusters seems to be a great review. Wish they could have saved that quality for the film.
Sony Pictures manipulated the public with a virtue signalling marketing campaign. The movie studios like controversy sometimes, like with the new Ghostbusters movie, it mean they can promote their movie to a group, or social movement. They deleted non-sexist, well thought out opinions. On the other hand, wildly sexist, racist, and illiterate remarks were being left untouched. This can only mean they wanted these controversial remarks to be see as the majority. By stirring this pot, Sony made it a huge media frenzy, and everyone on both sides of the controversy have fallen for it. How do I know this, because watched while they did it to my posts and and others. This can only mean they wanted these controversial remarks. Now everyone has to see the movie because they are a social justice warrior, curious what the fuss is about, or to prove they are not a misogynist. In other words….Sony Pictures created a gender conflicted to help sell this movie, and we all fell for it. I saw the new Ghostbusters. It’s not the worst movie ever made, nor even the worst movie this year. This was worthy of a Redbox rental (not my first choice either) and not a trip to the movies...I would give it a 2 ½ maybe 3 star rating out of 5. The "reboot" part of the new Ghostbusters movie is the problem, not the female cast. There are a few cherished classics like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, etc, that I feel should not mess with. Now if this was a new Ghostbusters movie, and these ladies (who I like by the way) were opening up their own franchise years later, maybe in a different city, I would like with that. I hate how people are spinning it so if you don't like the movie, then you are sexist or a hurt fanboy. I love the kick butt female "Rey" character from the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" movie...because she is a new kick butt female character. But I would have been upset if the say made Luke, a Lisa in a Star Wars reboot. Please make some new female characters and new female heroes, not recycled male roles. There are many awesome female actresses, some of which are in this movie, who deserve new roles they can make their own. Giving them old male roles puts them in a box, that's nearly impossible to break free of.
Kudos to you for not buying into the bullshit and not being afraid to call it like you see it. When people call it "progressive" for being women in an action movie there are already a number of problems. First things first, Ghostbusters was never supposed to be an action movie. Second in what way is this progressive? How is this progressive in any way since movies like Terminator 2 and Aliens came out? Both sequels to movies where the main character who happens to be a woman afraid for her life through the entire first movie but in the sequel she is now a badass who has survived the threat and is stronger for it. I don't particularly like the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil movies but these also prominently feature strong women who are intelligent and capable both in mind and body. There is also the Matrix series which prominently feature strong women. I liked Ultraviolet and it was a great movie featuring a strong female. I love the Underworld movies and Kate Beckinsale is a supreme badass in those movies. So what is so progressive about this movie? Maybe that it featured no strong male characters. Wait how is that progressive? How is some one strong if there is no one to compare them to? And even without any strong or even competent men in this movie these 4 women are still overshadowed by 4 men. Yes they are still inferior to the original Ghostbusters and yet they aren't even supposed to exist in this movie. The theme song for this movie should have been "Anything you can do I can do better" because that is what they are trying to say. What was their recipe for success take Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo, the Haunted Mansion and a bunch of bad SNL jokes, throw them in a blender and wait til it looks like shit? Deja vu can be good or it can be bad. When you get this feeling of "I've seen this before" and you get this warm and fuzzy feeling that is good. The scene doesn't have to be plagarized to give this feeling just feel familiar and done in a way that makes you glad you remembered that scene. When you see something and say "I saw this before but it didn't look as bad as this"then the scene is not paying tribute to the material but mocking and degrading it. That warm and fuzzy feeling goes and becames an overwhelming sense of rage and the need to express this in some way. As you pointed out people that are good at doing 1 thing aren't always suited to do everything. Like you said this was made by the wrong people trying to make the wrong movie. All they did was prove that they got it all wrong. Had this been done as a "scary movie" styled spoof I'm sure it would have done really well. Instead it tried to take itself too seriously and then stopped trying to be serious in any way at all. Some reviews have said that what it tries to do that isn't copied from the original it does well and had it just tried to do its own thing it could have been good. Instead it keeps trying to appeal to the fans and include them in this new artistic vision that is nothing like the movie they loved and feels like a blatant rip off and not even a good one at that. Anyway as I said before Kudos to you for not buying into the bullshit.
