Loki Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 This looks great to me. I'm an unashamed Scorsese fan and this cast list is amazing. It's like a Hogan v Austin dream match - it might not be the greatest but you'll see all the great spots in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members FLips Posted October 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 I thought that accent at the start was a joke. Shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted October 2, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2019 Guy Ritchie has earned some respect back by making Aladdin the best of the constant barrage of Disney Remakes by a country mile. Hugh Grant was superb in Paddington 2. For those two reasons, trailer be damned, I’m in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most stunning thing about that trailer is that Charlie Hunnam's accent isn't the worst one in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I dunno, Grant could at least be entertaining with his, a bit like Daniel Craig in Knives Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted December 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahZFCF--uRY Ghostbusters Afterlife is here. If you like Stranger Things and gritty reboots of old popular things, like that Power Rangers movie, this will be right up your street. I think it looks awful, but hope it's just another shit trailer for a film which turns out good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted December 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2019 Been chatting about it on Twitter - it hits the nostalgia notes, but doesn't feel thematically like a Ghostbusters movie. I really hope they're not going down the "gritty" route, because it's a franchise that absolutely doesn't need it, so I'm hoping that it's just a case of the trailer not being representative of the film as a whole. I really don't like the slow, lingering shots of things like the car, the ghost capture box, or the suits. It reminds me of R2D2 being revealed in The Force Awakens, and BB-8 looking up at him dramatically as if it's a significant moment for the tiny robot, not for the audience. Or the kids finding the old Jurassic Park jeeps in Jurassic World, and it lovingly panning across the old movie logo as a minor key version of the theme plays. It's lazy nostalgia porn, elevating something of meaning to the audience - not the characters - to the position of an in-universe fetish item, even if it doesn't make sense in continuity. And that's especially egregious for Ghostbusters, because kind of the point of Ghostbusters is that they're just workaday nobodies and that even when they are successful and save the world, give it a minute and nobody remembers or cares. The idea of anyone in the Ghostbusters universe looking longingly and nostalgically over a bit of Ghostbusters kit feels completely at odds with the series to date.

Paid Members chokeout Posted December 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) Playing devils advocate the lingering shots are the best way to pad out a teaser trailer; identifiable images which don't go too far into the plot and are instantly recognisable to fans, I'd much rather than than every plot beat thrown out in the first trailer. I'd be shocked if the next trailer isn't full on plot reveals finishing in the big cameo reveals.

From what's been said and is hinted at in the trailers that's exactly what the plot of the film is. Apart from a few super fans they are just forgotten and meaningless to the majority of people Edited December 9, 2019 by chokeout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many wistful nostalgia shots. As I said, I will be there opening night, and I have faith the final movie will be good, but this trailer just did nothing for me except show that the kid from stranger things has no range as an actor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
