Ghostbusters (2016) Dykebusters attack.
SCROLL ALL THE WAY DOWN IF YOU WANT TO SEE MY VERDICT AND SKIP ALL THIS READING.
oh gods..i donât want to do this...i REALLY donât want to do this..the fact that this has been one of the most highly panned movies of the year, before it was released is bad enough, but i can see that all those suspicions were completely RIGHT from the get go. i went into this movie with an open mind, i tried to accept it, i really REALLY tried to, but right when the main plot picked up, it all went straight down into slimers own toilet, hot, steamy, fresh, and absolutely horrid, even thinking about it now is just giving my stomach the ache of the runs.Â
now where to begin, first off, the main cast, and like an hourly bell chime at a church i can already hear the tumblrites, femicrazys and white knights circling above me chattering âsexist, misogynist, you hate the women castâ . this has been there go-to defense for the movie, and it is just absurd, the gender bent concept had potential, it honestly did, if it was done right, it could have avoided all the major problems all remakes go through, instead they decided to go the laziest copy paste routine i have ever seen. the main character is a carrer woman like in almost every other comedy, she gets roped in, she looses her job and all hell breaks loose for her, her nerdy friend pulls her in against her will, when she clearly doesnât want to be involved, and then this is when the movie takes the said slowly decencenting dive into slimers old toilet, we get our first jokes, the âwomanâ ghost at the beginning, vomiting all over our main lady, and its supposed to be a....funny scene..and after that, it follows up with a queef joke...and this pretty much sets the audience for this movie. its not a ghostbusters movie, this is a chick comedy, plain and simple, the comedy is all slapstick, is all grossout, and its all in your face, no hold bars, no subtlety whatsoever, witch would be ok for a over the top movie, but this is not that, its FUCKING, GHOSTBUSTERS!!!Â
but this is not my main issue with the movie, no, not the women cast, not the piss-poor writing, not the annoying black women, its the fact that they tried to have a actual human villein cause all the destruction. you.heard.right. not some unknown otherworldly force, not some otherworldly demon, not some force beyond our control, but a human whoâs motivation is âi was bullied and mistreatedâ and im not shortening this, that is his motivation, theres no clear meaning, no actual backstory, its just, he was bullied alot and he is evil. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!? ghostbusters had that fear factor in it cause, we didnât know what the hell was going on at first, we didnât know about the gatekeeper and the keymaster untill they discovered it with us, this...we know what is happening, we know who is behind this, so the mystery falls flat on its ass like stay pufft after an all night drinking binge, witch is what i assume most people did after watching this movie, i know i did.
i would go on, but i would have to write about 10 paragraphs to get everything i find wrong about this movie, final word, is that this movie is a insult to ghostbusters, its an insult to the fans, and its a awfull remake in general.
the verdict for ghostbusters 2016 is a 2/10 it is a awfull movie, its a horrendus remake, and it never should have been made in the first place.Â
