I just read a great list on an article that had 25 sequels that totally ignored the entire plotline/aspects of crucial plotlines in the original, and that was one of them.

Good sequel, but getting past a massive plot hole in that they essentially saved the World in the original and then were discarded and written off by society in 2 is a tough one to get past. Once you do, great sequel and movie, but it's a hard one to get past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All New York saw was four guys blow up a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and there was an EPA agent who had a massive hardon for the Ghostbusters. Imagine today 4 men saved the world and one person said what they had done was harmed the environment and created the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in the first place. A movie is two hours long. Characters lives and the events surrounding their lives aren't limited to the two hours displayed on screen, and if you can't come up with reasons why society might turn on four people... I mean... Look at our current society. Can you really not think of any way society might turn on four people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll probably watch it again soon after reading all these posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do understand, especially under a modern microscope, why a big group of people would not like what the Ghostbusters did. I just don't get the skeptics and people calling them frauds. Like...you guys saw what happened, right? I do not believe in ghosts or spirits or anything, but if I saw all the **** that happened at the end of Ghostbusters, the last thing I'd do is call them frauds.

You are a person, you’re not people. A person can be convinced by evidence. People cannot. Edited August 19, 2022 by Outpost31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could SEE a select group of people doing that, but I think that would be a relative vocal minority, whereas you'd also have a ton of viral videos to show what they did in the first movie.

What percentage of people is that though? In Brazil, it's 7%. Throw in if those 7% got visual confirmation that it wasn't, some might backtrack, similar to those who would have seen the Ghostbusters save the world/NYC at least.

Fresh Prince Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I watched “the sixth man” for the first one in a long time. Who knew Marlon Wayne’s could have you teary eyed. For a basketball comedy it does have some very emotional moments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most unbelievable part of that movie is 5'11" super chucker Kadeem Hardison being talked about as a lottery pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Having a movie theater where tickets are $4, drinks are $3 and a medium popcorn is $2.75 keeps the dream of going to theaters alive for me and my kids. It’s only annoying getting there since it’s about an hour away from where I live now. I went and saw Dragon ball Super: Super Hero earlier. I wasn’t terribly excited because most of my interests from my childhood like DBZ and pokemon are pretty much dead to me now (can’t get interested). I legit thought the movie was great. It had a little intro where it quickly recapped dragon ball and DBZ for the newer crowd. It felt true to my memories of everything and had Goku and Vegeta in but didn’t feature them in the action. It focused on Piccolo and Gohan who have both been essentially useless since the cell saga and made them feel cool again. There wasn’t any annoying filler and they didn’t have an unstoppable/regenerating baddie. I was actually excited with the action sequences and the bad guys were uniquely bad for a different reason than usual. When gohan found his new transformation and defeated cell the whole theater applauded which I’ve never experienced before lol. 8.5/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
