Thom Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I could see them trying to introduce a younger team of GBs but still focusing on the original remaining actors. But it will be different. There have been too many years in between for it not to be, but that's not important. What is, is the feel of the movie. That buddy/buddy/buddy/buddy feeling, where you can tell they care for each other but rip on each other intelligently and in ways that showcase and progress their personal relationships. If they can do that again, then I don't cariof the main plot is overly complex or incredibly simple, just as long as it holds water.

The idiots in charge didn't understand the original material(or didn't care) and decided to make their own vision instead, and hoped the built in audience would be dumb enough to just show up. I agree with your take. There seems to be a lot of that unfortunately when it comes to adapting pop culture/comics/manga, you name it. In the case of Ghostbusters the reboot, they got so much wrong I don't know where to start. Not too excited about this upcoming sequel, but it cannot be much worse, IMO.

Thom Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 As long as they treat it right and honor the previous two movies, while making this new chapter compelling in its own right, then I'll be happy. Can't wait till Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one had the entire cast and it sucked... I'm looking forward to seeing the old gang again (or most of them at any rate). I don't remember if Rick Moranis was coming out of retirement for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TangledThorns Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 So instead of a all female cast we get all kids? Where is the comedy?? This looks too much like Stranger Things and will bomb just like the last reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I guess the tribute to Harold Ramis is his kid here? This trailer hasn't sold me on anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derex3592 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I'm cautiously optimistic. It IS the kid from Stranger Things actually, so that's kinda funny. I hope they are keeping the scenes with the OG stars under wraps for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

505thAirborne Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I was enjoying the trailer until the kids were driving Ecto-1 & saw that it was written by Gil Kenan... I'll wait for reviews before seeing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Afterlife....so is the original crew dead and they're coming back as ghosts? Were they the kid's parents or grandparents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Doesn't look like it has much comedy in it, maybe Paul Rudd will bring that to the table, he can be a pretty funny dude, but the tone of the trailer didn't scream comedy to me.

Dynaman Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 NYC was one of the things that made Ghostbusters - some dinky town in the middle of nowhere doesn't cut it. The odds of this being a rental instead of theater movie went way up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
