Ghostbusters 2016 just wasn’t a good movie, let’s move on.

I’ll be honest, Viggo the Carpathian has grown on me over the years. Plus controlling the Statue of Liberty with an NES fight pad and the fancy Ecto 2 was like main-lining dopamine to my kid brain.

Kate McKinnon duel-wielding the pistol laser whip things was pretty cool, but it was also completely out of place in this particular movie. As was that whole action sequence which felt like it was mandated because “tentpole genre film = CGI heavy action climax.” I wouldn’t be surprised if that whole sequence was…

Not to mention the 2016 one very much “drowned itself in the nostalgia of old Ghostbusters movies”, no “instead of”, far more than anything I’ve seen about this new one.

But while Finn Wolfhard’s confused face and Paul Rudd, Nostalgic Ghostbuster Nerd weren’t necessarily enough to spark the public’s imagination for a “real” Ghostbusters movie, i.e. one that drowned itself in the nostalgia of old Ghostbusters movies, instead of just letting four immensely funny comedians bust the…

I was gonna post something similar in response to the article’s weird jab of “Jason Reitman’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the film that dared to ask: Hey, remember Egon?”

I don’t think Fatman made them write it into the article, guy

You nailed my thoughts on 2016 perfectly. It’s a solid funny movie for most of its runtime (doesn’t hurt that, while I adore the OG movie, I don’t see it as the untouchable sacred cow that a lot of fans do), then it peters out in a pretty unimpressive SFX extravaganza, and the jokes stop landing as well.

how does this make him a bad person? (Presumably “him”.) He asked a very legit question without making any comments in a sexist or disrespectful way. He literally asked a question, of someone to answer, which could prove him wrong if you bothered to answer, with the point being that he does not feel it’s a good movie…

• Of course Walker signed up for the Marines after Sept. 11, and of course the show treats that like it’s an admirable thing. Of course.

It’s weirdly comforting to know that, come what may, the AV Club will try to stir up the long-burned out embers of the Ghostbusters (2016) controversy whenever they have the opportunity.

Yeah, I’m not sure how he didn’t get to care about any of the characters after 10(12) hours with them. It’s certainly not Jackson’s fault.

I love all the endings, and it always felt to me like I just got to have multiple catharses instead of only one. Each ending is great and necessary. And even so, I always find it funny in a complementary way that it keeps happening over and over.

I have to respectfully disagree and say I think Return of the King absolutely is a masterpiece. It hits every beat, it works every moment, it earns everything the previous films set out to do. It has equal parts grandeur moderated with devastation and poignancy and heartbreak. Somewhere between Pippin’s song…

The endings – I get the jokes that are made. But I’d be interested to know what people should be cut. They last for about 20 minutes which, even to a 3 hour 20 minute film, isn’t a huge chunk and especially not for a 9 hour plus story. But I can at least see that the way they’re edited makes them seem like they’re…

it’s ‘not good’ that they have a critical opinion of a film?

The AV Club will apparently continue to talk up the 2016 Ghostbusters movie long after it has been consigned to the $5 bin of mediocrity by the rest of the world. And it comes off really defensive here.

Daria’s definitely the biggest ratio of how integral its soundtrack is vs. how impossible it would be to clear. The show is perfectly fine with filler tracks, but the regular use of contemporary hits as background and bumper music was such a key part of the show’s flavor. The show’s definitely of its time, but the…

No no no, Eric Trump is Odo:
