Yea I have a whole stack of goodies for opening day movies. All I got for the GB opener was some lazy postcards that you take a selfie of for a chance to win reward points. Kind of lame. At least Jurassic world gave you a t-shirt.
I don't know man, this movie kind of beat me down. I wasn't going to see it but I figured it could probably be good. I was wrong, so very wrong. More wrong than Elizabeth Shaw could have ever been. The trailers showed the funny parts and my biggest problem with the movie was that it was mean. There were so many jerks and being an idiot isn't that funny. Someone getting fired isn't nice and no, the same joke over and over isn't funny either. The cameos were atrocious. Dan Aykroyd wouldn't drive to Chinatown... f**k me at that point. What the hell was I thinking that this movie could have been ok. The biggest problem is that I've seen enough movies to have seen the jokes many times over that it was an outright snore-fest.

After the credits start it cuts to weavers cameo and she just looks plain old. When I thought about her trying to reprise her bad ass aliens self... it just died for me right there. That's all I mean.
You know, what made Ghostbusters great was that the original movie played it serious. This movie plays out fully aware that it is a comedy... it knows that it is one big joke and gives you exactly that.
I didn't mind Jones but the movie treats her like shit for being the non-scientist. McCarthy is written as a jerk. The Wiig girl is cute but seems to only be there to ooggle over Hemsworth. And mckinnon is an ass but at least she has one long winded speech at the end that addresses that. Oh and I did mention that this movie's populated by assholes right? From the unfunny university presidents to the unfunny cameos of the former ghostbusters to the unfunny mayor/mayoral_assistant/fbi_guys/hemsworth_the_worthless™... the unfunny main bad guy. Maybe I'm just an old foggy but this movie sucked.
The editing also sucked hard, the movie doesn't make much sense and I just heard the original cut was over 4 hours long... and you know what, it f**king feels like it. BvS has nothing on this. I gotta be honest, I feel bad for the ladies, I feel bad for Hemsworth. None of them deserved this. Yea, even if they got paid for doing it.
Oh and one last thing: Bill Murry has no dick. Nor does the f**king ghost logo. Oh god I felt pain for Jones character when that punk drew the anti-ghost logo on the subway wall. WHY!
