Great parts don't make a great movie
I can't get over how good Ghostbusters 2 was. It was one of the rare sequals that surpassed its original. Like Terminator 2. Or Indiana Jones 3.
Ghostbusters had chemistry between the cast, a great story that flowed nicely towards a big finale. It was a pretty awesome movie.
For like 20 years, nothing happened. Then, they revived/rehashed the franchise. I am still waiting for a movie that really works. They all have great individual parts, but they don't make a great movie.
Mckenna's role is cool, if almost a little too stoic. Paul Rudd's character is somewhere between a lead and a sidekick and it doesn't quite work.
Dan Aykroyd is adorable in this movie. He brings the most joy to the screen.
The villain is completely underdevelopped and underused.
And then it's just too repetitive. The mayor is making their lives difficult (again!) for no good reason.
What I need is a Beverly Hills Cop Axel F moment. Now THAT movie re-created the old magic! Still waiting, Ghostbusters writers...
