A wrong example of a nostalgic reboot.

I really endured watching this film. As a fan of SNL, I always feel a strong sense of contradiction when watching SNL cast films. tortured.

This film is really a perfect example of a nostalgic reboot work. It can be said that if any reboot work in the future is to be made well, everything can be reversed from this film. Rather, it guides modern audiences to review the classic works of their predecessors. This film thought that it would be great to invite the old cast to make a cameo, but it turned out to be completely wrong. The film's handling of Bill's cameo is not as good as Zombieland, and even killed Bill, and he didn't let him die. Ghosts continue to appear, and the treatment is not as good as the villain. A movie like Ghostbusters is not like a superhero movie, and it can be completely restarted. After all, everyone is watching the plot and creativity, not to mention the influence of the original characters. It's okay to reboot, you can also discard the original story, but now it's 2016, the whole idea of ​​the film is still the same as it was decades ago, and the cartoonish ghost depiction is also old, after all, we have read it all over the place. There are all kinds of special effects and ghost stories. The cartoon ghost in the original movie was due to the limited special effects technology at that time, and it was also a popular ghost portrayal at that time, but the original version also used a lot of physical models, such as beasts and skeletons, while this film 100% of the ghosts are cartoon illusory CG, there are no physical models or monsters that look like real objects, at least an image borrowed from the "Conjuring" series in recent years. The setting of opening the ghost door in the original version is very suspenseful, and the opening of the ghost door in this film, if nothing else, a concierge can actually make such a large equipment underground in the hotel where he works, this concierge must have come in by relationship, Not to mention the setting of nuclear weapons, there is a private nuclear device hidden in New York City, is this a mockery of the unfavorable supervision of the NSA?

In fact, after saying so much, it is the fault of the screenwriter and director. The actors are still doing well. My favorite Kate and the strong sister in the new SNL cast have appeared. Kate's character is the most distinctive, but she Putting everything with the seasoned Wiig sister and Melissa, her performance will appear stiff, not as good as the tall and strong Leslie. image, but her performance in this film feels a little worse. Sister Qiang's female secretary is basically a cameo, but her acting is also very natural. This film actually has GOT's Lannister and Garcia, the Jaws is very funny. The character and the plot setting of Brother Hammer are indeed satirical about sexism, but in this film he used DC Superman's stalks. Hahahaha, and this film also mentioned Batman~ The screenwriter seems to be a DC fan, rush this And the large amount of Chinese characters in the film is enough to give this film Samsung enough.

I myself hope that after this film was made into the original story, the government tried to cover up what happened and planned to militarize the ghosts. Several old cast members also kept their names incognito. As a result, the protagonists of the film, such as Leslie, did not want to discover the secrets of his uncle back then. Then rely on her to contact other characters and re-form the team. They are designed as Iron Man's palm beams based on the original bulky equipment, and the ghosts of celebrities such as MJ and David Bowie will appear in the film, and they will be possessed, Just to show the imitation ability of SNL, and Robin Williams will appear as an angel to help them, and then their equipment will be detained naturally at the end, and then they will play the final Boss with their old equipment, and finally they can collectively think of a weak Boss, For example, Justin Bieber, the villain still used the idea of ​​​​Brother Hammer, because of sexism, "only men's ideas are valued".
