First off this was a vast improvement over the answer the call film however! At least that one was original despite being hindered by cringeworthy Thor!
This latest addition does have some nice elements, but, this is a nostalgia movie and nothing more. Rehashed villain, fan service overload - the stay pufts are not needed and it didn't make sense them being there as they were conjured by Ray not a regular ghost!!
But anyway, the few things that bothered me.
Why gozer again, why not Vigo seeking revenge or trying to get a grown up Oscar, a child we know about!
When did Spengler have Carrie Coon ???
Also a lack of ghosts! Although once again we see the cab driver ! Not needed apart to please the fans , the one eyed creature that I had a toy of was a nice touch from the real ghostbusters cartoon.
But why did her dress change ? Why did it not change then when another gay keeper was taken ?
Rays statement of the firehouse now being a Starbucks! Blatantly not at the end.
The original cast being only cameos!
Phoebe was great, good actress for sure. The rest of the cast, no!
The end credits state , based on the 1984 film, this is not what happens on a sequel so is this another spin off? Not canon?
Was it needed? In my opinion, no Was it good? Again no Will I watch again ? No
Sadly fan service ruined this film, I didn't need it , didn't fall for the hype,
So many ways the ghostbusters could continue, will this be a bridge movie to a new franchise? Maybe! Could we see Spengler kids, podcast and lucky being in a new film? That could be a vast improvement on this borefest!
Leave the 80s alone, it's done, it was great. Stop rehashing rebooting remakes and sequels. Hollywood is too scared to take a chance and do something new. And it shows!
