The fate of the remake of the movie seems to be bad

This is a remake of the movie "Ghostbusters" many years ago. Unfortunately, this old movie older than me can only find paid resources, so after watching this 16-year "Superman", You can only watch the first 5/6 minutes of an old movie divided into three parts for free. Since it is a remake, with the storyline of "Super Expendables" and some shots from the old movie, it is also possible to guess the content of the old movie roughly. The theme of the movie is horror, but the style is funny. The fusion of the two produces a good comic tension effect. There are eggs at the end, leaving space for the lower part of the film. "Ghost Expendables" will also shoot three movies, but this is still determined by market performance, but now this era is already the world of blockbuster special effects movies, comedy ghost movies don't seem to be popular, maybe the times are over.

Unlike the protagonists in "Ghostbusters" who are all men, this movie replaces all the protagonists with women. Some people may say that this is a feminist ideology at work, but personally think that such a determination is a bit too stereotyped, like When the protagonists in "Ghostbusters" are all men, it doesn't mean that it reflects a patriarchal thought, but just about which character's setting is more in line with the desired effect. A little speculation about what the director meant, since it is a remake, then there must be a certain degree of innovation. Since no major changes have been made to the storyline, so we have to start with the gender of the characters, everything is just that simple That's it. From the actual effect, the four female ghost hunters with Abby as the leader, due to their different personalities and different temperament, actions and language, have reached an established level.

Abby’s actor is the fat Melissa McCarthy, who also had comedic charm in "Female Spy" before. Just like action movies, he needs strong actors, and drama movies need them. It’s an actor with a daily body figure, and it’s most suitable for a fat man to participate in the comedy category. However, Melissa McCarthy’s performance in the two movies gave me a sense of indifference, maybe Similar to the role, there is not enough room to play, but the script is good or the acting skills are limited. The discovery of the characters seems to be only at a shallow level. The other starring actors have never seen related movies, but from the performance point of view, it is still Tend to be quite satisfactory.

The content of the film is not outstanding, it is roughly the type that knows the end after reading the beginning, but the core of comedy movies is the comedy effect, and the script and other weaknesses are not within the scope of demanding. However, in the last two hours, there were a few periods of sleepiness, and the content was not compact and procrastinated. This is also a criticism of this movie. It directly reduces the comedy effect that is not outstanding. It is estimated to be very It’s hard to make a continuation again. It seems that whether it is in China or the more famous Hollywood, they can’t escape the same fate. Remakes are always harder than shooting new works, so they are destined to spend no more. It’s hard to get better results if you’re thinking about it, so you have to shoot carefully.

    I thought it was a fried rice work, but the overall look is not bad, except that Xiaoguo is a little worse, the action scenes, especially the supernatural melee at the end, are quite enjoyable. Most of the female generals are from SNL, and the performances are a bit fading. The exaggeration is more natural than the newcomer Mike Kinnon, who has mixed a few movies, and Brother Hammer played the silly white sweet surprise, and there are also guest appearances by Murray and the Alien Queen.

    Although the story itself is nothing to watch, it is worth mentioning that in addition to the professors, even the blonde in the front desk has also been converted into a character who needs to be rescued, just like all tool girls (such as Bond girls): sex symbols, sex Stupid, useless, captured by the villain, rescued, and a big reunion appeared inexplicably at the end of the play. The motorcycle in the plot is probably a sex-turned high-heeled shoe (?)... This is what I think is the biggest highlight of the film. Special thanks to Brother Hammer for his contribution to film history here.
