Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1
I like Mccarthy. Think Heat is one of the funniest film over. Right behind stuff like Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Frankenstein Jr. Mckinnon I thought was the weakest link, but I thought they all did fine. It was the lame ass script that killed this film. I like empowered women, I have a daughter, I think it's important to see characters like that in film and literature. But this was just sad. Thing is, you don't empower anyone, but belittling someone else. If you write characters like that, then they just become obnoxious. And that was the new Ghostbusters. I think the female cast was a fun idea, great and funny actors. But the script... for the love of sweet jesus christ... it was horrible. And wrong. It was bad.
But I do think the cast saved as much of the film as they could. It's not a good film, but it ain't bad either. It ended up being one of those you forget. "Did I see that, oh yeah, now I remember, no, it wasn't good." Legend of Tarzan - now, that's a turd of a movie. Easily the worst I have seen this year (I avoid the obvious crap like ID4 2 asf.)
They could have done so much with the Ghostbusters franchise, and ended up doing so little. The worst actors in the movie (and my heart bleeds as I write this) was Bill Murray. He came with NOTHING. He gave NOTHING. Maybe he had an off day, maybe he couldn't be bothered, I don't know. If they ever remake Zombieland, the line should be: "Any regrets?" "No, well, maybe Garfield... no, strike that, the new Ghostbusters, yeah, I regret that."
