Paranormal researcher Abby Yates and physicist Erin Gilbert are trying to prove that ghosts exist in modern society. 5.2 Non-Review (From James Rolfe), Reviews, Rant and Top 10s. GHOST BUSTER MOVIE SERIESGhostbusters is widely considered to be one of the worst reboots of all time, forcing Columbia Pictures to cancel any sequels for the rebooted Ghostbusters series and eventually opting to continue with the original Ghostbusters series instead with Afterlife, which was released on Novemto generally positive reviews by audiences and fans alike. The film grossed $229 million worldwide against its $144 million budget, but because of its combined production, marketing and other costs, it became a box office bomb, with losses of over $70 million. Despite this however, it was panned by fans and audiences alike, criticizing its political agenda and its SJW content. The film premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on July 9, 2016, and was released in the United States on July 15, 2016, by Columbia Pictures.Īt the time of its release, it received mixed to positive reviews from critics. It was produced by Village Roadshow Pictures, Ghost Corps, Pascal Pictures, Feigco Entertainment, and The Montecito Picture Company. Directed by Paul Feig and written by Katie Dippold and Feig, the film stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones as parapsychologists who start a ghost-catching business in New York City. Do critics really believe that the 2016 film was better than this? Funnier? More true to the Ghostbusters? I have a hard time believing that.Ghostbusters (later marketed as Ghostbusters: Answer the Call) is a 2016 American supernatural action comedy film and reboot (or remake) of the Ghostbusters franchise and the 1984 classic film of the same name, as well as the third film, overall, in the franchise. This is not a divide along deep cultural lines-but rather a culture war issue because the media makes it one. So clearly this is not about women in the movies. This could have been called Ghostbusters: The Rise Of Phoebe and it would have been a more accurate film. Groober and the original Ghostbusters are all secondary. The second most important story in this film is her mother’s relationship to Egon. Phoebe is the lead character, pure and simple. A lot was made of this divide on Twitter, with various culture warriors throwing their two cents into the ring.īut here’s the thing: Afterlife is also a female-led Ghostbusters picture. Fans, on the other hand, just didn’t like the movie. Fans didn’t like the all-female-led Ghostbusters and defenders of the film believed this was due to baked in misogyny. So what gives? I really do think it’s partly the culture wars to blame. Meanwhile, the 2016 reboot was mostly reviled by audiences, who gave it a 49% compared to critics’ 74%-a much more solid “fresh” than this film.
