Ghostbusters 2016 Is out. I watched it tonight. How did I feel about it?
Its alright, medicore, harmless. average. To be honest I gave this a chance seeing how it was design. I knew it wasnt going to be well going in. but you know what? Its not bad, its not the worst thing ever. its not Norm of the North terrible. but its not good enough. there are moments that were good and not so good. some jokes that were just Why go there and some going to far and should just kinda stop. but the potential is good honestly, If the script and direction wasnt like this. I like some of the ideas with the different proton weapons and Think the cast of women were good just needed more personality as characters to work better just like most team base groups. they all felt the same except for Patty, though she was a typical black stereotype and should have had some more stuff to then just what to expect. the Villian is very forgettable and completely unrealistic in so many ways but I get its a comedy so most things arent. I would say if you feel its terrible before seeing it then nothing I can say. I felt it was fine just average and could have been so much better. Get a different writer and Ivan Reitman To direct or something for the 2nd one and we may have something better. and a final note, Its a reboot remake whatever which is fine. but Please Dont Push buttons by having semi references to the idea of the old movie in some way and having the old cast cameos here. thats all. Its average and thats all I can say.

im not saying this new one is better then the old. but its honestly not terrible reallly. just it could have been so much better. but the marketing was terrible, the fact if your critize it in any way your labeled a "sexist" and just the crap Paul Fieg was doing the entire time in interviews. Its a fun ride imo it and it works. just it could have been a LOT worst in some ways and it could have been written way better in the script.
