Putting Opinions To Bed After Watching All Three ‘Ghostbusters’ Films

In recent years, there’s still a lot of talk about the “Ghostbusters” franchise, may it be about the anticipation of the long-awaited third installment, or the controversy still plaguing the 2016 reboot. The reboot has caused such a flare-up of toxic masculinity/femininity that it’s one of those films no one really wants to talk about or get into. Well, I don’t really have an opinion on the reboot because…I’ve never seen it, so I wanted to change that. I decided to do a “Ghostbusters” marathon and watch all three films in a row and give an honest opinion on them. WARNING: Potential Spoilers Ahead To keep it fair, I watched the theatrical versions of all three. I can’t really say a whole lot about the first (original) film Ghostbusters because out of the three it was the best. The problems seem to start with Ghostbusters 2. The problem right away in the 1989 sequel is there seems to be a

Who You Gonna Call? The Ghostbusters In 2019!

Fans had mixed emotions when it came to 2016’s female driven Ghostbusters. Many thought that franchise would end, but they were wrong. Ivan Reitman, the director of the original film and its sequel, made an appearance at a panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. He revealed that he is very optimistic that a new sequel will possibly arrive around the original’s 35th anniversary in 2019. Well, the studio is working on some really nice things. First of all, I can’t believe the movie is still playing and being watched so assiduously… and I can’t believe I’m so old. Yeah, I think there’s going to be a lot of fun, a lot of special things. We’re going to try to tie one of our films close to that date.” It was also mentioned during the panel that the film will be live-action. He also talked about the animated series that is in the works. I think we have wonderful plans,

More Films For The Ghostbusters Franchise Are On The Way

After last year’s female-driven reboot of Ghostbusters failed to cover costs at the box office and left fans unhappy, we thought it would be awhile before we saw another sequel for the franchise. It turns out, we were only half right. In a recent interview with io9, Ivan Reitman, who directed the original and still co-owns Ghost Corps, acknowledged the 2016 reboot’s failures, but left with fans with hope. Not only will we be getting a 2019 or 2020 animated film, there are more live-action instalments on the way. We certainly would’ve loved to have a larger hit,” Reitman said. “But considering the last film was almost 30 years ago, it really did extremely well. I think the film cost too much, frankly, and that’s the real issue. I personally had other points of view in terms of where the film should go and it was kind of a continuous conversation with Paul [Feig] about that. But Paul was the

Ghostbusters Ain’t Afraid Of No Ghost Or Of Making Another Movie

This year’s ‘Ghostbusters’ reboot was far from a fan favorite. After the film opened in theaters to a lukewarm welcome, director Paul Feig stated that he wasn’t interested in a sequel. But according to producer Ivan Reitman, who produced the 1984 original, the franchise is far from over. A podacest by Mr. Wavvy featuring Reitman has revealed that other ‘Ghostbusters’ films are in the works. There’s going to be many other Ghostbusters movies, they’re just in development right now.” There is no word yet if the rumored animated movie will be next, if the next film will be a sequel featuring the all-female cast of if the next film will feature an all-male cast. A few months ago it had been reported that Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum would headline a new movie. One thing is for sure, ‘Ghostbusters’ ain’t afraid of no ghost, or another film. ‘Ghostbusters’ (2016) starred Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Chris
