Unlike a lot of the misogynist GB fans out there, I actually welcomed the idea of the gender swap. Although ideally there should be a GB team of different genders, the fmale Ghopstbusters angle was a good idea to keep things new and interesting if handled properly. i was however concerned when I heard that Paul Feig (of Bridsmaids and Spy fame) was wrting the screenplay, as I found neither of his movies particularly funny. Still, I hoped for the best. Sadly, the movie was a meandering catalogue of rehased ideas and failed attempts at humor. Aside from a few wxceptions most of the jokes fell very flat. The jokes were so flat and uninventive that they seemed to have been made up in the spot, mid-filming, as if they weren't written at all but lazily improvised. The actors were funny but the lines they were delivering just weren't tickle-inducing. Another mistake I feel they made was to ognore the previous existence of other team of ghostbusters and have cameos from the original GB cast playing other people. The movie should have worked, if only to shut down the ridiculous misogynist outcries of indignation, but sadly the movie ended up by being mediocre in all counts - the story was a meandering mess, the jokes were poor and flat and the special effects underwelming. A real missed opportunity.

Contrary to most people I actually enjoyed Man of Steel. While I objected to certain option the filmmakers took, I found it to be a thorughly enjoyable super hero movie. My positive reaction to "Man of Steel" gave me some hope for this oddly titled semi-sequel, despite the involvement of the likes of David S.Goyer and Zack Snyder. Sadly I found the movie to be a sprawiling, poorly scripted and paced mess that took itself too seriously - it's dudes in capes, not Nietzsche. The attempts at philosofy and depth were laughable, but nonetheless approached by the Director as if the script was intelligently written, which certainly was not. The action (of which there was very little until the dumb mess at the end) was poorly constructed, excessively CGI'd and very unexciting. A movie featuring such iconic characters of popular America culture should have been carefully and efficiently planned out. Such a massive gathering of iconic DC comics characters could have been, if handled right (as it has been before in comic books and animated movies and TV series),been something truly special. Instead we have this mess of a movie that does not deliver in any counts. Such a wasted opportunity. I regret deeply having awarded the people involved in this mess with the price of a theater ticket - they'll actually think they have done a good job and make a equally awful semi-sequel.I haven't been this disappointed with a movie in a long time.
