Not terrible. Just OK.

I remembered something like that but when apparently it was a comment that came out more than a year before the movie came out, and it was in regards to a book he was writing about.

Scroll to the bottom where it says "Update".

Ironically the people who are keeping this movie at the forefront of the public (DVDTalk) consciousness are the same people who want it to disappear forever.

I liked Jurassic World and Kingsman is one of my favorite action movies in recent years.

DaveyJoe

It was/is a controversial release. It makes sense we'd be discussing it longer than the average movie.

Jurassic World was one of the biggest pieces of shit I've ever seen. If the people who made it are 1/10 the assholes that the characters are then I can confidently say that movie was made by complete assholes.

You've been ranting at me and my cast for months with misogyny and insults. So go fuck yourself. Goodnight. #enough https://t.co/r3XNfWP68c

This was a Josh Trank level PR nightmare for the movie which is why he suddenly was scrambling to differentiate misogynists from fans with genuine concerns in every subsequent interview. But the lesson is to ignore vitriol, act professional, and don't tell the fanbase of a series to go fuck themselves.

Then you get stuff like this:

And the bizarre parading of the original stars to reassure fans how funny the new cast is and how great the new movie will be. It was all very forced, manipulative and insulting to fans who had been spurned until Sony realized the mess they were in.

Its been just over a year since this movie and it already feels like its forgotten. Like it never happened.

RichC2

Yeah, imo the thing with it is it isn't particularly bad or terrible, it's mostly just forgettable.

It was like a lateral move from Ghostbusters 2, it's just extremely different.

fumanstan

Well the thread only got bumped because someone saw the movie recently, it's not like debating whether the movie was mediocre vs terrible is any new discussion. Anyway, it was just a throwaway comment on my part and not intended to be taken seriously.

Not to get in to this again with you as with the Superhero movie threads, but since you cited the recent Game of Thrones thread weren't you the one telling me and others to stop complaining?

DaveyJoe

Not exactly, I've had my fair share of complaints about season 7 of GoT, but I am trying to balance them out with what I've liked about them. I mentioned that I lowered my bar back in season six when I started to notice the writing slip, but I think complaints about deus ex machina and sloppy pacing for season 7 are valid. Superhero threads I've mostly stayed out of because I just can't keep up with Marvel's frequent releases.

Troy Stiffler

Truth be told, I didn't watch this yet.

I was never crazy about the original Ghostbusters either. I sat and watched the original one time, and the sequel a couple times. Really liked the original, but never revisited. And then I've seen clips here and there on TV for nearly 30 years (I was born in 1983).

My observation is that people hold Ghostbusters near and dear. And it was painful to see a so-so followup film. Like trying to put the two new Die Hard films in with the first three. Or Lethal Weapon 4. It can leave you feeling helpless. It happens with sequels.

I'll always look forward to whatever Feig has coming out next.

The thread that keep on giving!!

OldBoy

Yeah, why the hell are we still talking about this movie? It happened, it's done, it was mediocre to some, there will be no more, with this cast, at least, let's move on...

E Unit

Let's make it easier on all of us and merge this thread with the Lord of the Flies remake.

Not OK. Just terrible.

New DVDTalk rule: no discussion of a film 12 months after it's release.
