What I wrote at another place:
Watch it more as an Amblin matiné with kids driving the film, like Super-8 or Transformers (2007) and less like a Ghostbusters-sequel wanting Bill Murray-esque sarcasm.
It doesn't really feel like it is part of the same universe. No more gritty and grainy New York and instead shots of the golden hour and corn fields. With it telling a story through an Amblin lens, but hooking into the Ghostbusters. Almost feel, to reference Hellraiser, like the spec scripts Dimension bought up and then shoved Pinhead into making them Hellraiser movies. But at the same time, look at movies like Dumb and Dumber 2 and Anchorman 2 trying to just give you "more of the same" (like Ghostbusters 2). That could have been more of a mistake decades later. Hard to not respect Jason Reitman for taking it in another direction in that context. But it could have easily been it's own story with no links to Ghostbusters also.
Regarding Murray and Aykroyd and Hudsons involvement:they have glorified cameos and doesn't feel all that organically included. They could have been used a bit more instead of being used just to have the audience go:
The best part of the film is some scenes with Paul Rudd and McKenna Grace. Should have given them more scenes together. AND the midcredit scene.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Sounds good. I like that it's not "more of the same" like Dumb and Dumber 2, etc.2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

I'm not really a comic book/super hero movie fan in general (Iron Man is the exception for me), but even then I sensed that was just a little something missing from this film... was it.... a good sense of humour? They tried with that, but I'm not sure it worked very well. Anyway, it was fine, for a super hero movie, not great. I never really can get into them, so I dunno. Plus, we went to the 19+ VIP theatre, so were drunk, lol. Some cool things to look at for sure.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0 -
I finally got around to seeing this after watching the spin off Netflix show. Probably the wrong way round to do it, but you can really appreciate Favreau’s skills and training in the kitchen when you watch the movie.“Do not postpone happiness”
