 Welcome to Car Side Reviews. I'm Adam. I'm Derek. He's been on before if you've seen this, you know We just what? What was that counting them up? Probably look like I was looking my fingers that was actually more than I laughed in the Ghostbusters movie We just we just got done seeing Ghostbusters 2016 answer the call Where do you begin on this, you know you want to go with I mean I do the cast first What I was going to just say I guess was going in I had very low expectations and they limboed right underneath that bar Yeah, the the first I'd say 15 20 minutes. I'm thinking you know what this isn't too shabby Yeah, I mean there's a little pop here. It wasn't as dark and I but I still I was trying to get behind it Maybe they have some good jokes. Maybe they'll get me laughing But no it just it just falls apart and as the film progresses. It just gets dumber and dumber jokes Are terrible like the original film had sharp snappy witty comedy. None of that's here. It's it's poop You say like farting jokes and just things were like 10 year olds. What did you think of the cast? Uh, well, I didn't mind Kristen Wiig or Melissa McCarthy. The the problem was the writing The storyline was terrible. The jokes were not good at all I don't know the blonde chick is Kate McKinnon, I think it's a McKinnon I guess I haven't watched SNL in about 10 years. I guess she's in it Her and Leslie Jones. Hopefully she's funnier in that than she is now. She's probably the worst character in the show I read reviews about her early before I saw the movie and they said she runs away with the the film and Yeah, she does run away with the film into some other movie that I wasn't watching into Looney Tunesville Because every scene she's in is cartoonish Like it wasn't even tied to any of the scenes. It was just random like vomit of Not not even jokes just sounds or quirky faces, etc Yeah, there's a few serious moments and even in those serious moments She's sitting there giving like these just dumb ass faces weird looks like cock eyes, etc I don't understand like she's just trying to make her mark. I guess on the movie because this is her first big film Sure scene stealer. Leslie Jones, uh Nothing to write home about She in the trailers seemed like the stereotypical black woman. Uh, she doesn't know nothing about no science and oh Hell no and there is plenty of that in here. Thankfully it's um It's not as pronounced as it was in the trailers. She just comes off as kind of forgettable you know I don't know. Yeah, and Chris Hemsworth Uh Kind of forgettable as well just a couple funny jokes, but he just he took it Maybe one or two steps too far every scene he was in once again, that's it's the writing like you said I think Hemsworth was funny, but they made his dumb character dumb to the point of absurd What did you think of the action and effects in this? Poor I mean I was kind of scooby-doo Yeah, I mean like the green glowing the red glowing. Yeah, I don't know. I just The whole time I kept thinking fantastic for like sucked into a vortex. It just towards the end Um, I I know like I was also thinking a little bit night nightmare before Christmas with that balloon show that rolled through But in a bad way like not a good Yeah, the action they had all these different guns and gadgets and things and the gadgets were kind of cool But they'd like show it once and then they destroy it or they just wouldn't use it in the right way And how are they getting funding for all this stuff? I understand it's a silly concept to begin with but at least in the original They were poor and they made money by busting ghosts and this one they bust Did they get one ghost? They caught one ghost and let them go. They didn't get paid for it as far as I know No, they actually got scolded for it. Yeah, right. So where's this income because we know none of them are working right now They're all a bunch of deadbeat scientists. It's a small gripe But all these little plot holes kind of add up to the bigger picture Which is the script is just poor and it really I just don't understand and I ranted about this I don't get why this movie exists other than other than to make money and push some female empowerment agenda, which Okay, bridesmaids worked. It was an original script make more original movies and stop trying to piggyback off successful ones I I guess I'll grade it now then before we say anything further But for me this uh one out of ten one being the worst ten being the best Ah a three I'll give it a three out of ten I would go a little higher if there wasn't an original ghostbusters, but because this is reliant on the original So much and it can't be its own film at all. It's a three Um when I was I don't know maybe five or six years old I had a ghostbuster shirt and on the front of it. He was given the peace sign Two that's what I'm giving it That was one of the poorer movies I've seen in the theater in a long time. Um Yeah, I just I couldn't find very few qualities to enjoy about it Like you said the intro kind of got me a little bit geared for it a little geeked But as it progressed it got worse and worse the ending was terrible the special effects were terrible The writing was terrible the jokes were terrible I I really find few qualities to get excited for in the movie I mean a couple times they had the ghostbuster theme music kick in I got a little I don't nostalgic jazzed up But that was because of I don't know roller skating around the skate in place and watching the old ghostbusters wasn't because this I mean you make me second guess my three even now You know I gave fan four stick a three as well So I was kind of basing it around that sure sure maybe even fan four stick was given too high of a gradient So I'll stay with the three because I think I've seen movies that are far worse than this This is a disaster and this hollywood trend of reboots needs to stop People say reboots have been around forever. Yeah, I know but they don't come out every week Like it seems like they do now And uh, let's just end it. I don't want to see another stunt cast with back to the future Or gremlins or any of this shit leave it in the past make something new Do we have anything else to say about this? I don't think so. Yeah, I was just kind of speechless afterward. I was like Four of us. Yeah, and we even had a female with us And she she just gapped mouth was like, what what did I just watch? At first I thought she liked it. Yeah, she was laughing a lot, but she laughs a lot at anything. Yes, she does. Yeah I'm just upset now. I'm just upset I'm gonna go watch ghostbusters 2 because it ghostbusters 2 is far better than this Suicide squad in a couple weeks. I don't know what else is coming out, but suicide squad looks good I mean, just I guess get your optimistic hat on It's been a tough couple weeks. Yeah, it's been brutal with independence day. Independence day was a huge kick to the dick Pets what the secret life? Did you see that one? I did that was disappointing I was waiting for that for a long time with a family BFG was disappointing and I love Spielberg and disney movies typically And I like the book. There's a little bit of summer left for you Just don't even know I don't know I'm gonna play some pokemon go. Let's get things happy again in this world Oh
