 Well Ghostbusters is finally here and unfortunately, this was one of the most hated trailers in YouTube history I mean this movie was just absolutely crapped on before the movie came out But what did I think about it when I'm brandy Keith Avery and this is just my opinion? Ghostbusters is such a famous franchise I remember this franchise when I was a little boy Ghostbusters 1 Ghostbusters 2 and I love the Animated cartoon that they had on TV. I mean when I found out the Sony was gonna make a Ghostbusters movie I was happy but at the same time I was a little sad and a little scared because I knew the Sony pictures was gonna be behind it and So for me that studio is just fell off the Richter are completely all the way They are completely stale to me and really just don't have any creativity Left in their pipeline and when the first trailer first came out I watched it I went in with an open mind and I liked it I liked it a lot as soon as I saw that first trailer and they hit you with that old-school theme Ghostbusters song I was on board. I was excited. I remember myself Passing the trailer and sharing it online and social media to all my friends like hey Y'all look they coming out with a Ghostbusters movie We knew it was coming all female. It looks pretty good And it felt like I was the only person in the world that felt that way Everybody was crapping on it every at first everybody was everyone was upset because it was all female cast Which I'm not gonna lie. I will be honest with you. I did want this cast to be our male Just because that's what I'm used to but that's just when the newest first came out But when I first saw the trailer, I didn't mind. I was just kind of thinking to myself. Okay Hey, these are four strong women and they're about to go kick some ghosts ass. I love the cast I love Leshy Jones. She's funding me. I love Melissa McCarthy and I also love Kristen Wiig But there's other character by the name of Kate McKinnon and I'm not too familiar with her work at all I could have looked it up, but I didn't I don't remember seeing her in any other films before But she's in this movie too But like I said, I was looking forward to it look good But the entire world would just three to a billion thumbs down just saying it looks like crap every negative thing You can possibly think of people are saying about this movie and it really sucked because it hasn't even come out yet It was at the time this movie is directed by Paul Figue. I mean if you know Paul Figue He did a lot of TV back in the day late 90s early 2000s But he really hit a home run with bridesmaids that movie was hilarious to me It is one of the funniest comedies of all time in my opinion I put it right up there neck and neck with the hangover I mean like I people called bridesmaids the female version of the hangover I don't necessarily have to put that same label on it myself But it is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen I was crying laughing and so that is the same director That is behind Ghostbusters Now Paul Figue also did the heat with Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock and also they're coming out with the heat too And he also did spy another film starring Melissa McCarthy So you can kind of tell that they have an interest in relationship here in Hollywood Behind and in front of the camera because the director is also a sometimes actor too and it's surprising that so much people Will want to shit on this film. I mean it's just Ghostbusters here I mean, that's a great property. That's a great franchise And then you have a great director over here, which is Paul Figue But then you have also a great cast itself for that new girl Kate, which I'm not too familiar with myself I mean what could go on? Why are people so upset? It's starting to make I'm starting to feel that people are just happy when they're hating on something I mean, I don't know. I just don't get it I try not to look at internet trolls in the comment sections too much because they can't get you riled up But I really just wasn't understanding why no one else was on board with this movie. But anyway, I went in with an open mind The early reviewers came out late last week and those are positive. I didn't look at any of them I didn't even look at rotten tomatoes. I was just looking to see I know I was just wanted to see if the move was good For myself, I didn't want to look at any more trailers TV spots anything like that So I'm watching the movie and things are starting out great And then they trying to hit you with that old school Ghostbusters theme song and you're in the mood You're vibing you're bobbing your head and tap your feet and you're leaning forward because you're engaged And as I'm watching the movie, I mean, I'm enjoying every moment of it And the first thing that stood out to me was I really felt like I was in the world that they were trying to make me Believe was real and I also really liked the way all the characters Interacted in the beginning the way they introduced each other that work very well It felt very realistic if I you know if I like I say a movie is good to me If I could put myself in those people's shoes and we're thinking the same, you know I don't want to see a character on screen Not doing what they're supposed to be doing or saying what they're supposed to be saying based off the search situation They're in and they nailed that to a tee and with every film The first thing that is very important that you have to do is set the tone You have to also set the rules of the universe that we're in and I thought the film did a great job there But then we started meeting the cast We first start first start meeting Kristen Wiig and the stuff we start meeting Melissa McCarthy And what we first are seeing and I'm calling these characters by their real name and the reason why is I'll go ahead and say this now is and This is possibly one of the one or two gripes that I have about the overall film is I did not feel that the cast Was actual characters I felt that they were just playing themselves or the same characters that they played themselves in all other movies But that's not a knock because I like when they play themselves in other movies or that same typical role and that worked here You may have changed it slightly a little bit with their hair and makeup in the costumes that they were wearing But I did feel that these were not actually characters that these were actually the real actors just in Costumes calling each other fake names. That's not a knock like I said it worked But that's why I'm using the real names. But when you go to Kristen Wiig, I liked her. She was funny She was genuine. She felt like a real person. She had a nice backstory. It's we're watching this movie in present day And you they set up very briefly Some scenes that devbed into her past just to let you know where she came from and the way that she had a previous relationship with Melissa McCarthy's character was priceless and then we meet that character Melissa McCarthy, she was probably my favorite character in this whole film because She truly did not give a damn and she just really wanted to embrace who she was She had a strong passion about something and it didn't matter what it was She was passionate about it She was the type of person that was gonna wake up Five in the morning and go to bed at 4 a.m. In the morning and only have an hour of sleep Just to give 100% to whatever she believed in and she did not care about anybody else or what anyone else thought about her Or what her beliefs were she was just doing her own thing and I loved everything about her as far as that's concerned Now the new character Kate McKinnon, which her name was Jillian Holtzman in the movie Like I said, I've never seen her before in anything, but I liked her a lot too She was on the same level as Melissa McCarthy just embracing who she really was not caring about anything She was the techie in this group when they needed new devices when they needed new hardware and technology She was one of the characters that was in the laboratory During all the tinkering with all the tools to give the team their gear So she did have a purpose in this film and if I did mention Kristen Wiig's purpose of the film You know, she was one that she was another form of brains and Melissa McCarthy She was the engineer type as well Now the last character that comes into the fall was Leslie Jones and initially I'm not gonna lie when I first I sit in the trailers for this I kind of thought that her wall was stereotypical. She's pulling up into her So I'm like, hey, we got a car. It's a cat lack You know screaming and whatnot and you know that that can be considered a stereotype in the African-American community But I still wanted to go in with the In and try to give her a character chance in even though initially she was coming off very stereotypical Like just a dumb person is loud and screams all the time And that's what a lot of people are commenting about in the comments section with the initial trailers When she's like that quiet get come out of my friend goes and slapping and the quietest comparison slapping She's just was screaming her lies and some people were complaining about that and that was one concern that I had going in But I'm glad to say that they did give her character something to do other than scream and be a loud black lady I did like her contributions in the film The next thing I loved about the movie was just a story and how everything flowed It didn't waste any time like I said the very beginning of this film They had to set the tone and they said a great job of putting the tone together I mean we get some people and then they just start throwing they have a ghost out there. Okay, wait What's going on people are running scared? That's what they're supposed to do and the ghost buses they're in they're in there And I like the way that they were infused in there immediately I mean it didn't waste any time if I was in those same character shoes I would have been doing the exact same thing and that just gives me that just pulls me into the story That's already on screen and that makes me a bit more attached to the characters that are part of the story as well So I was loving that every word of dialogue felt real every sentence every paragraph Everybody language gesture Mannerism was real and I could relate to it I would have been doing the exact same things that all these characters was doing there was never a time But I was like, okay, why did you do that? Why didn't you do this? Who told you to go over there and what are you doing? No, it was nothing like that I mean, I actually felt like a ghostbuster in the way because I was like, okay We need if this is the problem right here Here's the solution and in two seconds later someone would be saying that is that line in the movie I'm like, yeah, okay. We're on board. We got some smart Characters here, but then when the team comes together I was just loving it because I mean just see this just think about it Okay, think about it. If there was some people going around talking about there's some ghosts Running around in the town and that you actually heard a real story about some freaking ghostbusters You would think they were crazy Especially if they was not embarrassed about it They embraced it and they just went into the building running with their proton packs ready to bust some ghost's ass You I mean, that's what you would think but what makes the character so great is that's exactly how the movie was Set up and they didn't care what anyone thought they didn't care how they were portrayed in the media I mean they care, but at the same time even if they were made fun of and ridiculed they were still gonna do their own thing And I'm like, yeah, yeah, that's how you supposed to live life You're not supposed to give an F what nobody thinks and do what makes you happy Do what you are passionate about and that's what all the ghostbusters was doing in this movie And it just made me love it even more and more and more and even another great thing about this movie is this funny I mean, it's hilarious Funny funny from the very beginning until the very end I mean you have jokes where you know they're trying to be jokes and then you have just natural jokes Where no one is laughing just someone can be doing something odd over here and just saying someone special expression like You know what is going on and what makes it funny is this with all the characters You have different versions of weird like this like person a can be weird and person b can be weird But their weirdness is so vast that they both are looking each other like okay This person's a weirdo and this person's weirdo and I'm the audience back here just looking at hey both you guys are weirdos And when those characters are playing off each other, it's just so funny Hey, I mean you have no choice but to laugh I mean even if a joke wasn't funny It was still funny because the way they were trying to make the joke And it's like you knew that they knew the joke wasn't funny, but you were laughing because they tried it anyway I mean it was just so many different forms of laughter and comedy and I really appreciated all of it Now for a while there I was just talking about the stuff that I like I'll just take a pause and talk about some of the stuff that I didn't like and some of the things that I didn't Like is when the ghosts were prominent and running around town Running amuck towards the end of the film At times as far as the stakes was concerned if the ghosts were actual threat, you didn't really know that was not really consistent I mean as you see in the trailer sometimes these ghosts are taking or possessing people and Making them do whatever they want So one of the questions that I had and this is a gripe is if you see ghostbusters are killing your fellow ghost members Why don't you just go and possess one of the ghostbusters and make them run over here into a wall and make them run over here Or make them destroy their gun. I mean that was a complaint of mine But overall I was still I mean the movie is so much fun that even though you're watching it And you think that towards the end you really don't care you wish they could have fixed it But you're still okay. Hey, I had a haul so much fun all the way up to this point The action is still great and there are some stakes But it is still a bit inconsistent and also another grab that I had is the Kate McKinnon character Jillian Holtzman She was one of the engineers that was making all the text all the technology and Upgrading their gear with their proton packs and all that good stuff But it seems like she was just pulling new devices out her left pocket left and right left and right I mean every other scene she has hey I got some new toys here and why they're cool and I like the way they work in the movie I was saying I must okay. When did you have time to make this? I mean this type of thing takes time? I mean you're making proton packs and and grenades to the destroyed ghosts and containment Devices in this and that and and proton gloves and stuff I mean there's no way you can make this in 24 hours, especially if you didn't have any money I mean early in the movie y'all was saying that you didn't have any money to buy a car You had to get Leslie Jones Character to get you let her uncle let you guys borrow it But then all of a sudden you got all the money in the world to make all these different devices I did kind of think of that in the movie But like I said, that's just a small great, but the action is fun Some people make is complaining about the CGI ghosts. That's that wasn't a problem for me I mean this was supposed to be a fun not take it too seriously Remake of an old classic now a lot of people may be holding on to other nostalgic value and all that good stuff But for me it may not hit every mark there But I was still proud and I was still having fun and when the action came in at the end It was fun even though the stakes were a little inconsistent here and there There was this one little scene to where it was just one-on-one with one of the ghost buses and ghosts They slowed the music. They slowed the frames down Turn the music up. She whipped out her guns and she just went to town on those ghosts To where the whole audience was applauding after that routine and you know, I was like, yeah That was pretty badass. It was a little silly over the top and not necessary But it was still fun and I loved it Another great thing this movie did was all the cameos that they had to have in the film from the past films And as you know, unfortunately, one of the ghost buses is not here with us anymore. He passed from the silence But for the cameos that they did have in the movie, I loved all of them I mean every time somebody was coming on screen and you didn't know where they were coming from I was clapping everybody was happy and they were all throughout the film because overall I went into this film with mediocre to low expectations and I came out loving this film It was a lot of fun. It was a blast I really don't I really will find it hard to believe if anybody can walk out of this movie So that they didn't like it they may walk out saying that they didn't love it But I really really did like it This is actually something that I will go see in the theater a second time Maybe with a different state of mind not by myself But if I had a friend or if I was going out on a date or something and that person Hasn't seen the family, you know, hey, you know, we can we can go see it was real good This is something that I will be buying on Blu-ray to add into the collection. I really did enjoy the film I'm not being a hater. It was a great film. I really did enjoy it. Everybody that was shitting on this movie in the comments section I think you owe the cast and the director apology and the studio for giving them such a hard time and complaining For no reason when you're judging a bookbars cover, but now the great time guys the fun time It's time to rate this thing if I were to rate Ghostbusters out of a one out of ten I'm gonna give it an eight point five out of ten. Yes in eight point five out of ten But guys, that's just my opinion just because I like it doesn't mean that you will like it in vice versa So have you seen Ghostbusters? Do you want to see it?
