Ghostbusters (2016), the film that was in the centre of the culture war. Many people were saying that it was 'feminist, woke propaganda' and arguing 'go woke, go broke,' and the counterbalance being that anyone who criticised it was sexist. No, it was just a bad idea and a bad film.
Ghostbusters (2016) was directed and co-written by Paul Feig who I see as a bad director who has no restraint and his style of comedy is based on cringe, humiliation, and people being arseholes to each other. The saving grace for Ghostbusters (2016) was the 12A/PG-13 rating which meant it couldn't be as lewd as his previous films.
Ghostbusters (2016) failed as a comedy since I didn't laugh, chuckle or smile. It was painful on that front, especially when it's compared to the original two films that had sharp jokes and well-rounded characters. The female Ghostbusters were just broad caricatures.
There was some potential. I did like it when the new gadgets were tested and used, there were some decent designs for the ghosts and strong special effects, especially after some of the rubbish some blockbusters 2023 offered. When the Ghostbusters were actually fighting ghosts on the streets of New York it was pretty fun.
Sadly, this was a film that shouldn't exist.
