FloatingFatMan Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 The thing about great movie franchises, is that they're great because they knew when to stop flogging the horse... Sure it looks good, but after this one, PLEASE let that horse retire... macoman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Montage Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Looking forward to this. As for franchises: Ghostbusters: perfect (9/10) Ghostbusters 2: disposable fun (6/10) Ghostbusters (female): horrendous (2/10) Ghostbusters Afterlife: decent enough (7/10) IMO margrave and +Raphaël G. 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed Afterlife, because nostalgia, but I was missing some magic, good music (the music was quite bland) and a moment like in Ghostbusters 1 when the containment unit was blown and the ghosts escaped. The whole scene and music was pure magic (which was also the title of the song playing 😝). +primortal, margrave and Dick Montage 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Hollywood would realise that you just can't re-create the same magic you had with the original release of something. It's not doable. Even sequels made close to the original's release are mostly unsuccessful. Stop it. We want something NEW, not reboots. +primortal 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sava700 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Looks good. Afterlife was great but it took too long to release covid or no covid. MI 2nd part in 2025...really?

They need to sprinkle these movies out because it will come to the point in the in a couple years were there will be nothing to release for a while.

That was such a f¥$king agenda-driven pile of trash. I am not being bigoted about it, but the way that Sony span the bad reviews into “well you just can’t stand strong female leads” was ridiculous. It had no “strong female leads”, was more racially insensitive than the original and just wasn’t funny! margrave and FloatingFatMan 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it isn’t part of that overall story is it? They deliberately chose to use the franchise without the ongoing storyline so that should write them out of any collected box set. I hate to say it because I know how it makes me look, but it was one of the worst films I’ve seen. margrave 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loooove movies with female leads, even non-strong (or how should we call this. What's the meaning of that strong term anyway) female leads. That movie was just bad.

It just rings so similar to my ears. "Magic" was legitimately perfect for the scene in the movie. Skip to about the 2:10 mark if you want the part that was used for the movie.

The sad truth is that sequels and reboots are the easy things to make because of their past success. The studios are a business, they follow the money. It's easier to push and market a sequel or reboot to a IP that's generally well known than to try and push something new that might cost as much to make and flop way hard. If you were the studio you'd be doing the same exact thing they're doing now, you'd follow the path to easy money. Lots of new stuff comes out but only a fraction of it has big enough success to get people talking. margrave, Dick Montage and Brandon H 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
