Ghostbusters 2016 - Caravan Of Garbage

- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- They kept making Ghostbusters movies didn't they. Ghostbusters 2016 acted not as a sequel but in fact as a franchise reboot. Answer The Call as it's sometimes titled brings in an entirely new director and cast as it aimed to capture the magic of the original. Somethings something save New York from an impending supernatural threat. Also they happened to be female and some people did not like it. To put it lightly. Anyways this comment section should be fun thanks for watching!

Can't believe Ben is able to edit this in real time as you guys are talking. That's some great work.
I think he actually puts the video together ahead of the conversation as he has super natural powers
This all very well but I want more Ben generated content
@@Tymbus he has his own channel ykno
That seems like it would be too much strain on the editor's wrists.
Cmon 100 more people like this comment so we can summon the digital devil!

"30 years ago. Four scientists..."
Wait wait wait... _four_ scientists? I love Ernie Hudson as Winston Zeddmore but the dude was not a scientist, that was whole point of his character. He was the non-science voice of the quartet, to bring a more laymen grounded vision to the story.
it's like they haven't watched the original then just did a reboot.
He was supposed to be in the original cut. He had a science background while in the military.
Also, due to some various reasons, the original actor was Eddie Murphy, but he dropped out before filming.
Yeah the black guy literally just arrives and asks what the pay is
My problem with the whole "EVERYBODY CAN BE A GHOSTBUSTER!!" theming that this and even the new film seems to be doing is, yeah? No shit. The whole point of the first movie was these were some schlubs starting a business. The fan idea for decades of retiring the original cast and just moving them up the corporate ladder and franchising the company, always made the most sense from an in-universe stance. You dont need to do multiple intersecting paralel realities or treat the Ghostbuster title like its some super hero power that must be passed on to a new team. Extreme Ghostbusters and the 2009 game were the only pieces of media that seems to understand that concept of the franchise.
The reason why they were Ghostbusters in the first place is because they were geniuses on the level of Einstein that were capable of creating a thermo-nuclear device that can catch ghosts. So no, everyone cannot be a Ghostbuster. Not just any regular person would know that if you crossed the streams of the proton-packs it could potentially destroy the universe, or stop the gates of hell from opening.
@@Rubberbandfan1 They literally hire on a 4th member who has zero scientific background in the first movie. Hence why I said, the 3 founders would obviously move up the corporate ladder of the company, they started the business, they created the tech, now they can hire out new employees to go out and use it. Same way the video game and Extreme did it.
@@mr.vidjagamez9896 I get it, but it’s a stretch to say that “anybody could be a Ghostbuster”, when they are carrying a nuclear device on their back that is more powerful than the atomic bombs dropped on Japan. It takes away all of the things that made the original movies good if they are just going to start a Ghostbusting recruiting business in which they train average joes to use the equipment. What happens when those employees are required to do actual complex scientific experiments, and the original Ghostbusters are dead and gone? The movies were great because they only went in to business because they got kicked out of school, but they became heroes in the end, because they were the only ones who had the ability to stop hell on Earth.
@@Rubberbandfan1 I mean you could say that about any technology after the original creators are long dead. The entire premise of Extreme Ghostbusters was Egon training a new team to use the equipment and them figuring out how it operates through the series. Would only make sense that he would pass on the knowledge to others who could understand the science behind it down the line if the company grew. Its not like the automotive industry is hiring random people off the street and telling them "ok you design the engine", they get people with backgrounds to work on that kind of thing, but you still need workers doing the actual labor. I just dont see them being "heroes" in the traditional sense seeing as they specifically are shown operating as a business, even the 80s cartoon continued that idea.
Yeah, maybe not everyone could be a Ghostbuster, but its really the same thing as saying not everyone could make it as a police officer, a firefighter or being in the army.
@@Rubberbandfan1 By ‘anyone’ I think the point is it’s a trainable job. Not everyone who flies a starship in Star Trek could build a warp drive. But once the ‘machine’ was built you could hire and train (theoretically) anyone able to absorb the skills of the job or specific smaller jobs surrounding the main job and use the equipment effectively.
I use to work in a factory that built race car batteries (they made other stuff, but that was my department). We handled pretty dangerous stuff but everyone handled a tiny part of the job. The engineers designed the systems and broke down the jobs into the individual jobs each person did. Some of the people doing those smaller individual jobs hadn’t gotten past high school diplomas. But they knew facts about some of the processes they were handling because they were trainable in that job.
This felt more like the Scooby Doo movies than Ghostbusters.
I agree. The designs of all the ghosts are terrible. The first two such had awesome supernatural creature designs and effects.
That's exactly what I was about to comment! The colorful sets and effects, with the cartoonish ghosts, is EXACTLY like the Scooby Doo movies! It's as if the same crew worked on this.
That's a very good point. The comedy and the effects look more like the live action Scooby Doo movies.
how have they never done Scooby-Doo/Ghostbusters before?
i was pretty surprised that they both agreed that GB'16 was a better movie than GB2. i just can't get behind that. compared to the first ghostbusters(one of the greatest movies of all time), GB2 seems lackluster. But on it's own, i think GB2 is a pretty good flick. GB'16 on the other hand: has some funny moments, but i felt was a pretty 'meh' movie overall. It felt like an SNL sketch that just went on far too long. From A+ to F, I'd grade as follows - original GB: A GB2: B- GB'16 C-
I think my favourite part of this channel is how the editors get involved so often, it's deadass so funny seeing them just leave the random notes for the editors in and use it for more content
That guy is killing it every video. 👏 editing is top notch. I imagine his head space is a cartoon factory after working so hard on all these edits day in day out.

Fun fact: I had some guys from a high end security firm in my studio, and they told me about the time they were working a private dinner in Toronto. Around the table was Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Ivan Reitman, and a few other people. They were there for about 20 minutes before Bill Murray got up from the table and walked out. As he passed my security friend he muttered “Well that was a waste of time.” Turns out that was the meeting where the OG cast was being informed the studio was going in this reboot direction, and would be holding them all to the contracts they signed when they thought they were doing GB3. Whoopsie!
I'd reckon that Sony learned a hard lesson from 2016. Because "Afterlife" is practically everything that the TRUE GB3 should have been! We just got it four years too late.
Weirdly believable random comment haha
Thanks for that
Seems legit
I think this was better than the old ones.
@@jacob4920That is not a fact.
The way it always feels very bright and like it is on a set makes me think of the Scooby Doo movies. Lots of bright lights and colours in the background that do pop, but make it all look artificial.

I died from a broken heart when you said this was better than Ghostbusters 2. Now no one will feed my dog. Our blood on your hands
Ghostbusters II is a lot better than the 2016 reboot, and not for the comedy… it’s the horror elements. The villain is a much bigger threat than the last one in my opinion and it’s a lot scarier than I remember, I mean the decapitated heads in the subway comes to mind and the red room scene. It might be a little cartoonier due to the popularity of The Real Ghostbusters that was airing at the time but I still think it’s a dang good sequel in its own right.
There isn’t even one frame of this crap that’s better than Ghostbusters 2.

@@Rollinrollinrollin84 Saaame! Right next to the fur coat coming to life, Jesus Christ that was terrifying.
This movie throwing a few laughs in between a shit load of unfunny jokes does not a better film make.
The most offensive and unbelievable part of this movie, to me, is the fact that they live and work in New York City but order Papa Johns!?
You ordered product placement by watching the movie friend.
@@megyskermike Heh. True. I just meant there's much better pizza throughout NY.
Should have gone to the best New York pizza place. Sbarros.
Wasn’t there a thing in one of the ninja turtle movies where they got dominos and everyone from New York went “absolutely not” 😂
Such a shame, everyone knows that Joe’s Pizza has the best pizza in the city
Even this doesn't answer my biggest question: in the final battle are they KILLING the ghosts with their various weapons? They're not trapping them!
Maybe they just like invented lethal weapons in between scenes and just went “yeah this is easier actually”
That's the biggest issue for me. I mean, it's cool they go the Real Ghostbusters route, but they never fully explain it.
"I turned into a dog and these guys helped me" is, on its own, funnier than 2016 Ghostbusters

George Costanza?
Very fishy😂😂💯
Cant bloody blame him, am I right fellas?
I'm so glad nobody's ruined the Back to the Future franchise cos Zemeckis won't give them permission while he's alive, and I hope Zemeckis is secretly immortal 🤷🏾♂️
Me too. It makes me feel gross knowing they'll try it when he's gone.
It's worth noting this video doesn't mention that Bob Gale who co-wrote BTTF with Zemekis is likely the guy who stops any reboots. He's often seen as Mr Back to the Future. He basically retired after BTTF and just kinda lives a nice life on all the money from that. But he's the guy who allowed the Telltale Game and also allowed the recent Broadway musical. He's very careful and selective about all the BTTF media.
Well he’s got a time machine
The Telltale game and the IDW comics are very good.
Some people will say that the sequels already did a good job in ruining the franchise.
I remember watching this movie and glancing at the clock, realising that I was nearly an hour in and hadn't laughed once. I think I may have cracked a smile at one point, but that was about it. This movie's biggest failing is that its a comedy that just isn't funny. Ghostbusters 2 was a pale imitation of the first, but it had far more humour in it than this.
The big thing that was so funny about Ghostbusters is that it was a mix of slapstick and deadpan. It has simple humour that kids could laugh at and complex humour that only adults would understand. Ghostbusters 2 was less successful at this, but it still had it. The 2016 movie thought it was doing the same thing because it had an actor make a queef joke with a straight face. That just showed a complete lack of understanding of the comedy of the original and its repeated throughout the entire film.
Its not crap because it stars four women. Its crap because its crap.
Well said mate
Chris Hemsworth was hilarious in Thor: Ragnarok, but I could not stand him in this. Louis Tully was a fool but in an endearing "oh bless him" way, Chris Hemsworth's character is just so inhumanly stupid beyond any kind of relatability.
I agree and yet he was still probably the best thing in it!
I didnt really like Ragnarock because of the lack of Comedic timing. The characters are contemplating the total destruction of their existence between quips and puns.
It was a challenge for me to take the subject matter seriously when none of the characters seem to.
@@timothybayliss6680 I thought the comedic timing was great from everybody. Hemsworth's whole "and he stabbed me" bit was beautiful, for example. And I didn't mind the focus on humour, cos they'd done serious fantasy Thor before and it was pretty subpar and boring. And it's not like I took the destruction of Asgard as some serious, Lord of the Rings-style peril anyway. Was just enjoying Cate Blanchett hamming it up, Hulk fighting a mythic wolf and Hemsworth looking so much more engaged and at home in the role than ever before. I think if they'd tried to make another Thor film with a tone like The Dark World then Hemsworth would've lost passion and been long gone by now.
@@timothybayliss6680 you know what I liked ragnarok but I do think some of the comedy was a little baffling. Considering what was happening in the story it was surprising it turned out so lighthearted but I guess I can understand that approach cus they had tried to make Thor more serious with the first 2 films and both those films are kind of a bore
Louis wasn't actually stupid either, he's taken over by an entity who is unfamiliar with the world. That's where his comedy comes from and has written reasons for it. Ghostbusters 2016 was just poorly and lazily written all around. Almost none of the jokes had to do with what was going on. It was just all random. A classic example of this is Redlettermedia's explanation of Mcarthy yelling at the villian to come get his virginity out of the lost and found. The joke makes no sense because nobody put enough effort into thinking about it. Also I can see how progressive they're thinking is throwing out insults as narrow minded as that. I sarcastically say.
I feel like maybe Bill Murray was onto something and ghost busters never needed another movie
Yea but he also chose to do two Garfield movies so his judgment is certainly questionable
@@conormurphy4328 and those Garfield movies are better in every way than this fucking abomination
I think it was moreso Harold Ramis than Bill Murray. Both of them famously did not get along after making a few movies together.
Ramis passed away in 2014. Ghostbusters 2016 came out in... 2016.
Huh.
@@TheOTA101 That is a *very* low bar to clear - but yes.
@@VacuumJockey The bar is 6 feet in the dirt.
Ghostbusters 1984 is a sci-fi - fantasy - horror film with comedic moments. It was grounded and the characters seemed real. No one was trying to out ad-lib each other. That’s where Ghostbusters 2016 went wrong. They wanted a comedy first with tons of ad-libbing and then expect the audience to take the world seriously.
Terminator Dark Fate, Ocean's Eight, Charlie's Angels (2020), Ghostbusters 2016.... all sucked... hmmm..what could they all possibly have in common? 🤔😒🤷♀️
@@nathanknight6042 They made a Charlie's Angels movie starring women? Outrageous!
@@theomnitorium7476 , yeah, it wasn't the starring women part.
I don’t care that it was 4 women. There are great movies with female leads. It should have been a sequel… a passing of the torch movie. GB 84 is a perfect movie. It can’t be remade better. I wish more bad movies were remade.
@@2Dzz 100% truth in both your comments
For those wondering about the re-upload, James posted the reason on Twitter yesterday:
"Okay so I’ve made a decision to take down the vid because there’s a moment where it calls out a couple of UA-camrs specifically. That’s not really the kind of example I want to set. It’s 1am so I’m gonna do a slight tweak and re-upload it again tomorrow."
"It’s honestly not even a big moment and I can’t imagine anyone would care but again, just doesn’t sit right. Plus the only people I want to upset are those who like Elon Musk."

Agreed
I can only listen in the background when its an episode ive already seen many times lol
Hemsworth was annoying to me, and I had friends like “well they made the lady secretary dumb in the other movies!” And I was like yea but she was more “I don’t particularly care about my job or care to learn stuff I don’t gotta’”
And hemsworth, like, I recall at points he can’t figure out how to use a phone?
There’s a difference between “goofy dimwit” and “this dude forgets to breath”
Janine wasn't dumb. As you said she didn't care about the job. But she was far from stupid.
How was Jeanie dumb? She loves to read! Some people actually think she's too intellectual but she thinks it's a fabulous way to pass the time.
Hemsworth's character, on the other hand, covered his eyes to not hear.
No I know she wasn’t dumb, I was quoting
The point of his character was that he was a Himbo. It's no deeper than that.

Kylie forever! Extreme Ghostbusters was awesome.
Also, they hit all the spots. They had a cripple, and latino. So EGB did a few firsts
ghostbusters 2016 forgot them too
There was one single enjoyable moment of this movie. When Hemsworth revealed his glasses had no lenses. That was it
"Waiting out" Zemeckis is really funny and sad at the same time.
It's like PL Travers and Mary Poppins. Because she had strong opinions on how her books should be made and interpreted (a viewpoint also held by Anne Rice and Karen Traviss in recent memory) Disney simply waited until she died although they had ideas for a sequel immediately after the first movie.
The amount of work you put Ben through on this series alone guys

i listened to half on the video and don't know the difference, just the tax jokes i think
@@noedelroj6843 there’s also a change in the video for the 2 times James is complaining about people saying the movie was too SJW or whatever. The audio is the same but in yesterday’s video the image on screen was a guy who presumably was one of those people complaining back when this happened. Now it’s the meme of someone typing so furiously that their arms come off for the first time and a blurry scrolling UA-cam feed with the word triggered across the bottom of the screen for the second.
Spot on with the character analysis. Modern comedy is terrified to have a "straight man/woman" character who contrasts with the absurdity of a situation. Not everyone has to be a quippy snark, it gets exhausting. Some of the funniest characters ever (like Egon) are the ones that can sell a line that's not funny on paper, but when everyone in the cast is dropping winky-nudgy one liners that important aspect of comedy can't shine through.
I feel you there. I have a similar feeling to "Thor: Ragnarok". Sure, it's a "funny" movie by all accounts, but it's more funny by virtue of just throwing jokes and imagery to the wall and seeing what sticks, and for me, I'm more a fan of more discipline humor. I may not be always laughing, but I'd be laughing stronger than if I was thrown a bunch. It's why I thought Guardians 2 was funnier by comparison. It had it's clunkers here and there, but I got way more laughs than not because they had a touch more discipline to them.
It's not terrified, it's just too lazy. Writing that takes more effort than letting your actors continuously riff and hoping you can craft something comedically well-timed in the editing.
A big part of the reason for this is management and production not valuing artists and craftspeople on the most foundational level of the creative side (writers) enough to pay them what's necessary to fund that kind of effort.
@TerrenceNowicki exactly, lazy writing is the answer for so many of the issues with modern Hollywood movies.
The problem with the 2016 reboot was definitely the comedy, the fact that in the original was that it relied on situational humor the characters were played straight. In the reboot each character is trying to be a comedian. In the original secretary Janine was an intelligent woman while working as a secretary, Chris Hemsworth's male secretary is played entirely for laughs about how dumb he is.
The approach to it was just all wrong.
So I can understand the himbo Hemsworth secretary as a sort-of inversion of Janine.
He’s a dumb guy (who’s objectified for being hot by his superiors) who literally does not have the mental capacity to perform any other job (and probably this one)
I like how they keep saying its ok. Almost as if they are trying to convince themselves that it is.
It might just be me but the ghosts in this film just feel like they should be in that second Scooby Doo film. I'm not sure if it's the bright colours or the CG itself but something about them just really reminds me of Monsters Unleashed.
I was just thinking about how none of the "spirits" or whatever look much like what I think of as "ghosts."
He plays every shitty James bond game but almost ignores the Ghostbusters game.
Yeah that was weird. I was sure they were gonna play the game in either this review or the last one.
Based on his comments, I guess they're just both bigger fans of James Bond than of Ghostbusters? I was just expecting a brief gameplay segment of the Ghostbusters 2009 game after all those shitty Matrix and James Bond games lol
Also no mention the fact the game IS in fact canon and just brushing off as another shitty video game adaptation (which it is definitely not) while giving praise to shittier games.
Yeah, they went in-depth with a rushed half assed james bond game while the ghostbusters game had a good storyline & gameplay. SMH
I love that game, but he is right about the bland playable character. Not having actual character creation was a huge missed opportunity - imagine, you could recreate yourself (yes, even if you are a WOMAN!) and be a real part of the Ghostbusters!
@@HisNameWasCrazy in the PS2 version of the game you can choose to be a man or woman
The movie isn't the worst thing in history, but the best part of all this for me was that "I'm an adult virgin" vine

@@fearofowl5973 it didn't come out of this movie though
I feel like, if this Ghostbusters film had been released one scene at a time, as a Saturday Night Live production, it would have been considered a great fun ongoing skit series.
But as a film it's too much all the time
True, that's a good point. There's funny parts, but like you said it's constant so it's too much
It astounds me how this video still gets angry comments
Lizzy Caplan being one of the possible cast members for this one is pretty hilarous since Inside Job briefly has the character she plays, Reagan, in a Ghostbusters-esque outfit in one episode fully about the 80's.
That's not pretty hilarious, it's barely worth mentioning
You guys pretty much hit all the points I have about this film. 1) the structure is bogged down by all the improv. 2) nothing matters. 3) New York City was always the invisible 5th character in the films, and the New York in this film may as well be Toronto or Vancouver.
Is it the worst? No, it's fine. But it just doesn't capture anything that's special about Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters is more than just comics standing around trying to make each other laugh for 2 hours, and I like all these comics.
The comments section are gonna be the spookiest time (and I'm not just talking about bloody tax time)
"The game is not good"
Proceeds to talk about how good the game is
More like they proceed to talk about how the cutscenes are good, while maintaining that the GAME part of the game is not that great.
No way is this shit funnier than “Ghostbusters II”
You are wrong.
comedy is of course subjective, but fat lady falls on her ass is pretty much the extend this movies jokes go to.
Man, I hated Ghostbusters 2.
Ghostbusters 2 is wonderful and I have no idea why so many dislike it. This film wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good, and in no way is it funnier than GBII. The Vigo stuff alone is funnier than anything in 'Answer The Call' which, by the way, is its actual official title - it's in the credits. Feig explained that the studio wanted this sub-title, he didn't, so this was the compromise.
I believe it's because it's like the cartoon and a lot of us saw the cartoon then Ghostbusters 2, to a kid ghostbusters 2 is awesome.
GB2 is better than GB1 and by far better than GB2016 But I agree with most of the critisism in this review. I think it could have been really good but failed to replicate the chemistry of the original lineup.
People are way too harsh on GB2. I agree that 2016 GB isn't a trashfire but it's still not very good, certainly not better than GB2. The first act alone is better- Dana's apartment, the drilling and especially the courtroom scene. "but one time I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you."
Saw the original one, but glad to see it got re-uploaded.
Why did it get re-uploaded?

This is genuinely the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say “Wow, I sure enjoyed Chris Hemsworth in GB2016”
I heard some shills say it, but I think it was more like: he's the only good thing in the movie. And really that was the effort he put into it and not the results.
Because the trope of the dumb man sex object is bad, and the one joke with his glasses was funny and that's about it.
I've heard it a lot and I have no respect for those people. I like Chris but his character can't be taken seriously with the degree of stupidity. He's the biggest contributer as to why this movie was so bad, because all the characters came off more unrealistic and cartoony than the actual Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
@@AmazingKevinWClark As one of "those people" I can assure you that I have absolutely no need for respect from someone who totally missed the fact that the _very last thing_ you were expected to do was to take his character "seriously." While the rest were stumbling over each other trying to be funny, Hemsworth just went for it, and appeared to be genuinely having fun being the utter idiot.
@@viddork When I said his character can't be taken seriously it wasn't in reference to his comedy but rather to the contributing value of his character to the story/writing. I do have a standard expectation when it comes to working with an already established franchise especially popular ones. If you don't try to match the effort that previously existed then I'm not going to be pleased. I don't find entertainment in characters acting absurdly unrealistic, it breaks the storytelling and it's unrelatable. I have the same problem when "professionals" write invulnerable characters. It's not good writing practices and I do expect a minimum effort from the industry. When they don't bother to meet that minimum amount then I don't think they did a proper job.
@@AmazingKevinWClark if you lose respect for someone for liking a goddamn movie character, I think the real issue here is yourself

For me, this falls in the category of “funny SNL character actors in movies that are too much about dicking around for what feels like hours”.
And I don’t know if there’s really any that are completely awful to sit through (except for maybe Molly Shannon’s Superstar). And this one is completely fine, with the main notable aspect that it feels completely reworked in post-production to turn it into a more conventional summer blockbuster. Which is funny since the original doesn’t feel much like a blockbuster.
SNL isn't funny.
...okay?
A huge amount of the film is basically just Paul Feig putting people in a room and going "Ok, now be funny!", letting them riff about random stuff for hours with no structure and then cobbling the best bits into scenes. It's why the characters feel so weird and disjointed, and veer wildly between being naturalistic yet slightly quirky (e.g. Wiig, McCarthy and Jones) and operating completely on complete cartoon logic (e.g. Hemsworth and McKinnon). It's an example of very poor implementation of improv.
@@videogamenostalgia Some people like this utter crap and some people hate it.
Yeah for me I can stand them riffing through a movie like that….
I’m not American and don’t watch SNL so maybe its my humour isn’t as simple as that to enjoy it. I can see it appealing to say a Family Guy viewer.
There are definitely plenty of examples of taking tv shows or tv style performances and making a funny movie.
Ali G did it with that movie, that was all improv and he took that into a movie and made it work. I think its largely just about having characters and stories that actually make some sort of sense and have a logically consistency in tone and characters.
Ghostbusters 2016 does not and the jokes are duds giving zero things to keep my attention….
The disrespect for Ghostbusters 2 has hit a new low.
Yeah. GB2 is way better than this trash fire. GB2 isn't a great movie, but it's enjoyable.
Seriously. And I hate to say it but…I kinda don’t believe them? I don’t know. I feel like they were going out of there way to say they didn’t like this movie. Mason clearly hates it. Said nothing positive about it. Nothing. And then he’s like “it’s fine. It’s better than Ghostbusters 2”. What!?! I watched that review. And I don’t think that’s true. But whatever. Very odd review. It’s like they were afraid to say they didn’t like it.
@@MrGittz or or maybe, hear me out, this might sound crazy, its just his opinion and he legitimately likes this over Ghostbusters 2?
@@laurensahanna5826 Maybe? I dunno. But I found the two reviews at odds with each other. Mason says nothing positive about GB16. Says multiple positives about GB2(with also negative)…I’m just going off how they reviewed the two films. Mason literally shits all over this movie and then says “it’s fine”. Does it sound like he thinks it’s fine? Lol. I’m not so sure.
I was actually hurt by that...the audacity
I like the original backstory of Slimer better-being the ghost of John Belushi.
I'm surprised they didn't talk about James Rolfe's controversy when he said he refused to see it.
That tax joke never gets old 😂😂
14:36 so I guess this means we aren’t getting a caravan of Garbage on Extreme ghostbusters.
Surely this wasn’t uploaded yesterday and immediately taken down but then re uploaded today
Yes, apparently the comments were insane, and anti female or something. I had it opened in a tab so I seen the original. But sheesh, someone should have screenshot some of those and reported them. They tried to disable the comments and just re-uploaded it today. There is a thread if it's still there from yesterday morning where people were getting into the possible reason why. Cancel woke culture and politics flooded the comments which never once even came up in the video. Not even with their famous catch phrase "I don't want to get political" But I guess defending women to some people nowadays is saying that you want to take away everything that is theirs?
@@kuijiblob2539 I think they did actually call out people who were saying “Ghostbusters has gone FULL w0ke with this film!”
It wasn’t anything super vicious or mean, but humans as a whole are very defensive these days.
@@kuijiblob2539 I mean how else to explain the movie being god-awful and all of them being women for no reason. Also the movie was super racist with the black female character being loud annoying and violent( her character was nothing more than a living stereotype)
@@ALDO_GOODENS this movie being woke it's the only explanation for why every male character in the movie was ether an idiot an asshole, or just evil. Just like the last Wonder Woman movie
@@mariobadia4553 so you're saying that if the cast were all men in the script was kept the same it would be better? Also the actress that you're referring to was harassed exclusively by people like you. So don't bring up racism because most of the racism that she suffered for being in this movie came from your type
This could've been a continuation, with the three old school Ghostbusters training the women after seeing their video, and Chris Hemsworth's character could be the snarky Bill Murray type to help with the comedy.
It's not much but it's something.
I remember that a version of this was gonna be in a world where the OG busters essentially franchised the business and a new all-female group in a different city was starting up. That would have been better, but I think the biggest issue this movie had is the over reliance on improv that doesn't land or connect to much of the story most of the time.
@@genghisg honestly, it's sad that this movie is going to be held as Ana example for Hollywood political pandering. Does the movie deserve it? Yes and no. Sony and the actors and directors certainly didn't help, but the movie itself barley had anything as bad as what's Hollywood is producing nowadays.
Or... how about females come up with their own damn original ideas instead of feeding off of men..Terminator Dark Fate, Ocean's Eight, Charlie's Angels (2020), Ghostbusters 2016.... all sucked... hmmm..what could they all possibly have in common? 🤔😒🤷♀️
@@nathanknight6042 I’m dead sure Charlie’s Angels was always female centric
@@zahrahali8631 it is for the Angel's themselves, duh, but I'm noted specifically the 2020 movie, because there even "Charlie" just had to be gender swapped from a man to a wahman. All male characters were written as dumb or overly misogynistic. It was just a Feminazi wet dream...
Love how you two would love to laugh at eachothers jokes all day , but your on the clock 😂
"If you are joking I do not appreciate it and if you are serious I don't like it" 😂😂 9:42
Watched the old one but gotta give the boys another view ;)
And another like.
That's the spirit
That’s odd. This still isn’t a review of Dune
James and Maso have reviewed Dune on their podcast. There are time codes in the description to skip straight to the Dune review:
ua-cam.com/video/mN1aDGy3eWI/v-deo.html
I think you'll find it's pronounced "Dune".
The original Ghostbusters knew when jokes ended instead of being beaten to death until it became unfunny lol.
The original Ghostbusters had a good script and funny actors.
It's a bad movie but it has nothing to do with the cast being female
This movie is almost acceptable for a one-time viewing and is quickly forgotten. The best thing is Aykroyd's cameo and the Egon girl (Kate McKinnon), or at least that's how I remember it.
No it's not better than Ghostbusters 2
I was shocked to see Lewis make a cameo here but was not unhappy about it
That WAS Lewis with the fake moustache?
Just came down to make sure I wasnt imaging things thats totally lewis lmao
I honestly love the gameplay in the video game. I find it thrilling and and the feel of using the proton pack is mesmerizing
Man, honestly, I'm struggling to bother beating the level with the 'fat opera lady' ghosts outside the theatre, which is only level 3 or 4, on the Switch. Smash Bros online is just so much more entertaining 😁
@@angadhrach sorry for the late reply. Use the boson darts introduced a few moments earlier in that level, it wears them out quickly. Also always be on the move while shooting. If you have any trouble with the flying gargoyles just remember you can slam them into surfaces with the capture stream
Facts.
Ben's editing is superb. The whole contract thing.
The big problem with this movie is that *everyone* is playing a cartoon, and they're all cranked up to 11 at all times. The first movie works because you have believable, down-to-earth people there reacting to the guys and all the weirdness around them.
Forever salty that Sony owns both GB and MIB and never thought
Hmmm
Why not us cross those two franchises over
Nah that's silly. And we were so close with their 90s cartoons too
They were... but it was going to be MIB and Jump Street I'm fairly certain, but nothing materialised it seems. I remember hearing and seeing articles about it (2014/15 era).
@@19thunderchild I remember and very much try to forget cause I dont like the idea lol
But a movie about dead aliens just sounds upsetting :(
Hope someday we get MIB reboot/sequel with old Will Smith taking on the K role and finding a new J
How the hell do you not like the Ghostbusters game? it's fucking awesome.
Well they liked Answer The Call better than Ghostbusters 2, so there is no accounting for taste. I think they just like slapstick more then deadpan humor
@@CollinL I made my comment before finishing the video but once I heard they didn't like Ghostbusters 2 more the 2016 film my heart sank just a little bit honestly.
I love Kate McKinnon, Chris Hemsworth, the ghost effects and the ghost busting sequences were great. Everything else was just "ok."
Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth really carry this movie for me.
McKinnon isn''t funny at all, she just makes the same stupid "funny" face throughout the whole movie
Fun fact: The overwhelmingly negative response to this movie's trailer, and the overwhelmingly negative response to that overwhelmingly negative response is part of what led youtube to try taking away the dislike button and to where it now stands where you can't see the number of dislikes.
So could we have an edit of this movie that stops the ‘comedy skits’ early? Or would that only leave like 30 min left?
You should watch the outtakes of McCarthy screaming different things at the camera for an hour.
I am assuming it wasnt her fault, the lines in the script were probably just "be funny".
@@timothybayliss6680 I swear that I saw an interview with Feig where he said that's exactly what he did. He's got four funny women, the script is just an outline or a setup, he turned the camera on and "let the magic happen" or some sh*t.
@@jdraven0890 at least when there’s a writers strike there’s an excuse for this kind of crap.
When I watched yesterday there was no comments, I'm assuming something went wrong, only thing that came up for me is that this film is not better than Ghostbusters 2, it has it's moments but I'm willing to bet most people would rather watch that then this remake
A notable amount of those people adverse to giving this a go would only do so because they're triggered by the cast's gender though, so that doesn't exactly give your point a lot of merit.
He turned them off yesterday, apparently the hatred is still around
@@PileOfStones The only proof of that was the very vocal minority on the trailers and the nonsense on Twitter. The trailer was bad because of the jokes they decided to put into it did not fit the tone of any ghostbusters material previously. It was marketed like a generic dumb comedy and it didn't look like it had the charm or heart of the original. That was only further compounded by the amount of marketing and product tie ins like twinkies and papa John's. It was a rushed cash grab and heartless remake and used "feminism" to try and push back against the overblown and vocal minority of "hate". I think it makes the women look really bad, like why was Leslie Jones' character not a scientist? Because they are copying Winston. Why did they only trap one ghost and let it loose when they were arguing Bill Murray? Why are they allowed to kill Bill Murray with zero repercussions? There are better smaller movies that deserve to be seen and celebrate women, don't support Sony's fake garbage commercial.
@@deveshsood6087 They were set off with the upload so it was more preemptive
@@JudgementNutter bro there are worse big budget comedy movies that fail the Bechdel test that people don't criticise as much as this mediocre mess. I haven't seen this so I'm hardly someone who cares about defending the quality of the story but casual bigotry of any kind shouldn't be tolerated.
Ben earned me clicking the Like button on this one. I dunno what you're paying him, but it's not enough.
I'd say that quality-wise this is on a par with movies like RIPD and MIB International, none of these are good, but the level of hate this gets is out of all proportion, it's not very funny, but it's not a war-crime.
I honestly prefer this movie over Ghostbusters II just because words cannot describe how much I despise the baby subplot in that movie. This movie doesn’t have that, so I’ll take it over Ghostbusters II in a heartbeat. I know this is probably a really blasphemous thing to say, but I don’t regret saying it.
You hit the nail on the head for my issues with this movie but also with a lot of modern comedy in general. Theres so much zany wise cracking quirky weirdos spitting their lines. But that doesnt work without a 'straightman' or foil to balance things out. Without letting the setup dictate the comedic beats, without writing character with real human personalities, and most annoying of all for me the way OTHER PEOPLE in a scene react to something off the wall a character says? What you guys said at 8:30 being the perfect example. Why is this such a common trope in modern comedies? Ive noticed this so much lately and its weird and I hate it.
This movie is a lot, but it's not ok. I usually agree with you, not this time though. The first 2 were good because they were NOT comedies, but thrillers with funny characters/moments. 2016 is straight up slapstick. And not the good kind.
I found Kate McKinnon's smug, self-congratulatory shtick especially painful.
17:42 Great Detective Work Ben!
Devil's advocate but I feel like the majority of the vitriol for this wasn't so much because they were women, but because Sony tried really really hard to establish the narrative that if you disliked this movie for any reason, you were sexist. And a lot of people bought into that kinda outrage marketing, like seeing a Ghostbusters movie was some kind of political statement. People weren't just allowed to dislike it or not be interested in it without being labeled this or that, and that elevated a standard corporate cash-grab that would otherwise be forgotten a week after release into something that's still gives an entire generation Vietnam nightmares whenever it's brought up in conversation.
Yeah but channels such as Geeks and Gamers were criticizing this film right when the cast list was announced
Gender wouldn't have been an issue if they didn't go with 4 women just for the sake of going with 4 women. Also, SJW nonsense didn't come up until the director and the cast started accusing people who didn't like the trailer as sexists and basement dwelling trolls instead of accepting that their movie looked like trash.
Is anything different from the old video
They re-recorded the audio from a script of the first video so nothing is different, but this time they werent wearing shirts while recording.
@@cg1906 ok thanks
They removed that guy Jeremy from Geeks and Gamers. Which in the first version I caught immediately thinking, "uh oh, that won't go over well".
Yeah they had a nice burn against the manbaby channel G+G from the irrelevant "fandom menace" crowd lol such losers 🤣
@@claudegrenier3180 Indeed! If someone made him aware of it, that dude will be all over it, screaming bloody murder on his channel.
This is Sony's MO
They made bad Smurfs movies followed it up with a more faithful one
Made bad Spider-Man movies followed it up with an MCU one
Made bad Ghostbusters, followed it up with a faithful one
They make intentionally controversial movies to drum up interest, THEN they give fans what they want to drum up even more interest
So when’s the next MIB movie.
@@shyguygaming5397 Probably depends on if Tommy Lee and Will Smith Actually want to come back
Omg they’re doing this trash on purpose?!
I believe Answer the Call was the tagline, not a subtitle, at least here in the states. I think it was just muddy design on the poster/blu-ray and dvd cover.
them saying it's "just okay and whatever" is actually worse than calling it bad. At least bad illicits an emotion and memory of seeing it.
Yes. Sony realized they couldn't get us to care about their soulless cash grab reboot, so they cynically leaned into and overstated the hate, and tried to make it some war of the sexes BS.
And GB 2016 is bad, it's just not so completely awful that it has any chance of becoming an ironic cult classic.
It's not fine. I've never commented on my opinion of this movie, even in private. So, I'm not invested in bashing it online or anywhere. But this was just an awful viewing experience. Couple funny moments, but the rest felt like a bad improv game at a family reunion. Just bad. I felt like I was the one on the screen not being funny. That's how great the vicarious embarrassment was. Paul is fine. This movie is like watching video of your coworkers rapping about un-jamming the copy machine.
Ben is evolving, and I'm here for it
I like to think that’s how all Channing Tatum emails sound.
I remember liking this movie initially, then really not liking it the second time, then being okay with it the third time (with kids).
It's a strange experience vs Afterlife (which looks to have a lot less comedy). which is like a reactionary thing to this one. Just reinforces the perfect blend that original GB had.
What, “Afterlife” doesn’t have much comedy? But isn’t comedy also a part of “Ghostbusters”?
Have you seen Afterlife already? The trailers look like there will be at least some humor with things like the Mini-Pufts and anything Paul Rudd does. I know some people have gotten advanced screenings but the rest of us have to wait a bit longer before we will know how we feel about it.
How do you know afterlife is comedy free? It hasn't come out yet.
@@HOTD108_ Just based on the trailers.
Was I wrong or was I wrong?
This is the only video about this movie I've ever clicked on. I trust these two fine fellows to tell me things about movies.
My problem was media outlets telling me I was sexist and misogynistic for not liking the movie.
I enjoyed the Ghostbusters video game overall. It was just frustrating to revive your teammates all the time.
