Opening shot. Pretty sure im watching night at the museum 3

Destor 02-20-2017 10:26 PM

Tywim Lannister up in this

Destor 02-20-2017 10:28 PM

By the book 1st act structure. Though lazy not a criticism.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:29 PM

McCarthy is not funny, entertaining or captivating. Not singling out this performance per se.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:31 PM

14 min in. A fart joke.

Brilliant...

Destor 02-20-2017 10:31 PM

Cast has no chemistry

Destor 02-20-2017 10:33 PM

16 min in a shit joke.

Low brow humor. Yay.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:35 PM

Despite being a reboot the character are being established with the pretense we know who their male counterparts are...that or theyre not being established at all. Probably both.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:36 PM

Random slapstick. Completely out of place. Film was written by a testing group being feed scenes out of context. Only explination.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:39 PM

This movie absolutely demands that youve seen the originals and makes no effort to create protagonists or the world they live in. It has an assumption of familiarity. It is presented as a sequel. Confusing choice.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:42 PM

McKinnon has charisma

Destor 02-20-2017 10:42 PM

I would watch her as lead/comic relief

road doggy dogg 02-20-2017 10:43 PM

As I mentioned in the other thread, Kate McKinnon is by far the best part of this movie.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:44 PM

Gilrs rule. Women are funny. Get over it.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:46 PM

The material is bad but McKinnon sells it.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:50 PM

Shameless shilling for ad dollars. Worse than superman and Marlborough

Destor 02-20-2017 10:51 PM

"Ya know an aquarium is just a submarine for fish."

I laughed

Destor 02-20-2017 10:54 PM

If you had never heard of ghostbusters this movie would be really bad. The only thing keeping the plot going is the originals.

Destor 02-20-2017 10:57 PM

Jones is incapable of doing anyting outside of her shtick

Destor 02-20-2017 11:02 PM

Shout out to wig. Playing the straight man is tough. She grounds the exposition. Structurally her character is the only that allows a plot to exist in this film.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-20-2017 11:02 PM

Did you find some Ecto Cooler before?

Destor 02-20-2017 11:03 PM

Maybe she will have a joke before the credits roll

Is that beer?

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-20-2017 11:04 PM

No, it's a children's beverage made in the 1980s and 1990s. Came back for this year. It's a HiC Juice cocktail of orange juice and tangerine juice.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:05 PM

Lol that sounds awful

Destor 02-20-2017 11:07 PM

This movie has taken place in like...48 hours. None of this makes sense of you stop and think about it, COULD REALLY USE A MONTAGE

When a director casts primarily male leads then nobody bats an eye.
When a director casts primarily female actors then he's a gimmick.

Yeah good point.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:11 PM

The dragon ghosts cgi budget looks like its from the live action scoobie doo movies

Girls rule. Women are funny. Get over it.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:14 PM

That ozzy cameo was topical 15 years ago

Destor 02-20-2017 11:17 PM

McKinnon with an egonesque pseudo science speech. Bout time someone pretended to be smart in this.

Destor 02-20-2017 11:20 PM

Its Mr.Trick from Buffy, still working for mayors i see.

Are you taking the piss?
I was defending Paul Feig there. Melissa McCarthy is fantastic.

Were you agreeing with me when you posted that quote?
It reads as admonishment.

Taking the piss haha

Destor 02-20-2017 11:29 PM

Film is much better at hitting the drama tones than it is as being a comedy

Seanny One Ball 02-20-2017 11:29 PM

Rascal

Destor 02-20-2017 11:31 PM

I do like the score. Playing with theme is obviously a must and they do it well. Nostalgia to the max when they do.
