Movie review, Super Expendables, the remake is very weak

Memories are lovely. The name of this movie reminds me of the funny classic "Ghostbusters" series produced in 1984 and 1989. That's right, the 2016 Melissa version of "Ghostbusters" introduced today is nothing short of nothing. Remake of the movie. As for the flavor of the remake, let's take a closer look.

Since it is a remake, it will naturally attract the attention of many old fans, which is normal; naturally, many viewers will compare the previous work, which is very objective; naturally, there will be mixed opinions from all sides. , This is very aggrieved. No matter what, if there is controversy, there is something to watch.

Next, I will stand in two different perspectives to analyze this comedy

from the perspective of old fans of "Ghostbusters"

. 1. Copy the new version of "Ghostbusters" and the
new film almost completely copy the original plot. , There is no new bright spot (drawing the scoop), and the old glory is lost (the scary and action scenes are missing)

2. The
main characters of the beautiful female character troupe are all feminine (compared to the previous version, a reversal) ),Interesting. Of course, this approach will make a lot of "feminist heads up" sound in the minds of many "male chauvinists." Ha ha. Why bother? So picky? Frankly speaking, these female characters in the film have their own personalities (humorous, serious, spoof, rude, all) and excellent wit. Especially the funny queen Melissa McCarthy, good job.

3. I have a high-value, low-IQ male character
. I feel that the director has a problem with the film and the character. Let Hammer play a handsome and low-powered character (not talking about acting). Some are overkill. It's even more "over". The jokes caused by this deliberately "dumb" seem very cheap.

4. The single point of laughter
The biggest flaw in the new work that is different from the original one is the distribution of "laughing points". As a funny movie, this is a serious mistake. Throughout this film, many jokes were done independently by Melissa McCarthy and black actor Leslie Jones. It was very monotonous. Others were out of the state (maybe required by the script) and acted, and a little disappointed.

5. The embarrassing CG special effects
"Five cents" special effects once again blinded my brother's "24k gold" dog eyes. After investing so much money, I got this picture quality. Investors must be stupid and have a lot of money.

Having said so much, old fans expressed "dissatisfaction" with this remake. Director brother, Lao Tzu will destroy you on behalf of the moon.


From the perspective of watching the "Ghostbusters" series for the first time (Xiaobai's perspective), review this comedy movie again to see if there is anything interesting to dig into.

Actor
Melissa McCarthy (played as Abby), the first American comedy actress, from "The Hangover 3" to "Female Spy." Her movie is almost full of hilarious effects.

Leslie Jones (playing as Patty) is not acceptable. Her role positioning is questionable. I feel more brutal, aggressive, foul language constantly, she's there to make us feel at seeing violent comedy

plot area
see the story of the audience, please pass. This kind of popcorn-style movie unique to Hollywood, you will forget it once you have watched it. The most exciting part of the film is "Brother Hammer Dancing" (there are two parts, one in the movie, and another after the ending subtitles come out), that ecstasy, that tenderness

, the
CG image quality of the background has been unable to complain. , And the level of CG in Japan is not at the same level, "garbage special effects" can only become "alternative jokes", haha.

The Chinese style that can be seen everywhere in the film makes me vaguely wonder whether it is another Chinese boss with a lot of money and brains who has invested in this film.

Written at the end, the 2016 version of "Ghostbusters", the most remake of the film, obviously has many flaws, and the content, plot, and funny are incomparable with the original. But if you look at it as an independent new product, it is a qualified and authentic Hollywood popcorn-style movie. When you watch it, you laugh and laugh. After you watch it, you don't remember anything. Very good, to kill time, a must-have companion after a meal.

Recommended crowd: All

    A reboot of the 1984 version, but in a female version.

    It's okay as a ghostbuster movie, but it's worse as a Ghostbusters series. There are a lot of illogical things in the film, which are worth watching but not worth applauding. I've actually been wondering what would happen if Ghostbusters were in The Conjuring, The Grudge, or something like that
