I could be forgetting a few, but Dredd might be the only action film I even liked in the last ten years.Films such as Dredd, BR: 2049, Drive for example definitely appear in my top movie list.

Fury Road?...
Hollywood really is milking the Stranger Things format. Even Stranger Things fans disliked season 3.*Watches trailer* Sees the black fade to white "Next Summer". Okay yeah... this trailer was copy paste The Force Awakens shot for shot. Like I was half expecting with the music to have Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd come in at the end with, "Ray, we're home..." < Least that would have been comedy gold to give some light to this trailer.
There's so much going for this movie it DOESN'T FEEL Ghostbusters in the trailer at all. No upbeat, no humor, Ghostbusters was in fact a Comedy Sci-fi 80's hit. THIS is too much Mike from Stranger Things, being Stranger Things with Abrams Super 8 and Paul Rudd being his Ant-Man dumbfounded "what's this do!?" push a button self.
And again... hey let's go find the mysterious cave with ghosts and make kids center field. $5 says original cast come in last minute with some cheesy one line of, "You kids need some help?". This movie direction is bad because again, we're not focusing on the love for old characters we're being thrown completely new ones AGAIN.
It is so hard for the original cast just to be retiring there thinking s*** is fine and then original cast think something is up with the town, THEN throw the kids in there to help the original cast. WHY on earth do the Original Cast NEED to be supporting actors... because that's what they'll be...
I was thinking that as I watched it. Nearly thirty years since GBII and we're watching the Ecto 1 drive through a wheat field.Hollywood really is milking the Stranger Things format. Even Stranger Things fans disliked season 3.
I'm sure there's a way they could have made this work again without kids or links to the original and have it set in New York.

To be honest I'd be content for them to start over (hate to use the word reboot). As much as the actors made the original, for me I think it's the 4 core characters too. Being a fan of the cartoon too it needs Egon, Ray, Peter and Winston.I was thinking that as I watched it. Nearly thirty years since GBII and we're watching the Ecto 1 drive through a wheat field.
If it's not in NYC, no one cares. They were going to do GBII in Scotland but changed it.
I feel like it's too late to salvage the brand. GBII isn't the monstrosity people make it out to be and this already looks like it divorced itself from it.To be honest I'd be content for them to start over (hate to use the word reboot).

And NEW YORK CITY!!!
With a Cartoon they could get away a lot and make Ghostbusters Timeless as many shows.Sad that there's never been a reboot of the cartoon. I think that's a good indicator of how the brand sits in the market. Look at TMNT, they reboot the cartoon every few years - each generation of children get turtles and they buy the toys.
There was talk a few years back of a new show about Ghostbusters teams around the World. I'm guessing they scrapped all plans they had after the 2016 crap fest!With a Cartoon they could get away a lot and make Ghostbusters Timeless as many shows.
They really took the Muffbusters bomb to heart by driving this one off a cliff Thelma & Louise style.There was talk a few years back of a new show about Ghostbusters teams around the World. I'm guessing they scrapped all plans they had after the 2016 crap fest!
Cry me a river and throw yourself in it. Useless fuck.
