Spoiler: Old news

From IMDB
The Los Angeles Times talked to Dan Aykroyd about Ghostbusters 3 that is in development at Columbia Pictures. Here are several excerpts:

Aykroyd said Sigourney Weaver is on board now, as are the original squad of ectoplasmic specialists -- Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson.

"We could be in production by winter."

Aykroyd said he wishes Ivan Reitman would return to direct the third film in the series but that he's "too busy as a mega-producer" to take it on; his second choice is Ramis, who, of course, co-wrote the first two "Ghostbusters" films with Aykroyd and has numerous directing credits, most notably "Groundhog Day" and "Analyze This."

The details of story are still in play, but Aykroyd said he's hoping for a five-member "new generation" team with several female members. "I'd like it to be a passing-of-the-torch movie. Let's revisit the old characters briefly and happily and have them there as family but let's pass it on to a new generation."

Totally agree, Shocking ticket prices (I don't mind paying a premium when going to an IMAX), My local SHOWCASE charges extra for XL seats which to be honest not much better than their standard but in a lot of their screens are putting in more of the XL seats in so you end up paying for them unless you want to sit up close to the screen it cost me £36 to watch Suicide Squad in 3D at a Matinee showing and you need a flipping loan to get snacks...my gosh they are expensive , they have cheap nights for Insider members on a Sun evening and Monday and Tuesday and are packed...It doesn't take a brain surgeon to know that the prices are way to expensive on other days!!! Then they wonder why piracy is on the rise???

I never even considered what the prices were for 3D and IMAX, but £36 is insane! It makes £20+ for a new steelbook release seem cheap lol. Thankfully I can't stand 3D, so 2D is obviously my preferred choice... I've never experienced IMAX at the cinema before though, and I doubt I ever will at those prices.

Trust me IMAX is worth every penny. We have to travel to either Milton Keynes or if we make a day of it to the BFI IMAX in London, it's just unreal. Only problem is it then spoils you as any normal cinema just doesn't cut it anymore.

I think the closest IMAX cinema to me is in Nottingham, and I find it hard enough to get to my local cinema, so the chance of me going to Notts is pretty slim unfortunately. I'd love to experience it at some point though... maybe I'll ask Santa if he can treat to me an IMAX screening for Episode VIII next year.

Finally got to watch this at the weekend and it isn't that bad. I quite liked it, had a few funny moments mainly with Chris Hemsworth but much better than expected. I think the trailers to this really let it down as I don't think many people myself included were sold by them. Personally nothing will ever compare or come close to the original.

This was pretty much exactly what I imagined... a modern (and unnecessary) "update" of a classic. It wasn't awful, but overall it didn't really work for me... I found the humour to be very forced and cringeworthy. I didn't even enjoy McKinnon's character as much as I'd expected. And McCarthy was just her usual annoying/unfunny self, so no surprises there. The only times I laughed were when Hemsworth was on screen... dude was actually really funny! I think it's main target audience (kids) will love it, but I'll stick to the original.

I also saw it a couple of weeks ago. The story follows the original movie very closely in terms of plot, story line and homage but sorely lacks two major things.
1. There is no real known villain in the movie other than Rowan North.
2. The cast are just not that believable at playing their respective roles. I could believe Egon was a scientist. I could believe Venkman was a washout and a ladies man. Unfortunately i didn't get anything from the new cast.

The story could have been a little more scary with the awkward balance of humor similar to what the original offered. This one seems to be a little sillier and less on the scare factor. Even the overuse of CGI made it less believable.

There was little to drive the plot and you have instances where the characters end up in the mayors office under no plausible reason. "Saving the day" had no city residents cheering for our heroes and it just felt awkward.

Even the music was lackluster compared to the magical score from the original by genius Bernstein.

It is a huge pity that they did not carefully make this movie to appeal to a wider audience. And of course that a lot of the parodies could have been avoided because it ultimately injured this movies reputation.

Was it all that bad? No, In fact it was an okay watch. But IMO it could have been MUUUUUUCCCH better.

I thought it was utter trash. I watched all 3 versions and none were any better than the rest. was hoping the extended edition at made it better, but it didn't. I really don't know how they got Hemsworth to play that role, it was kind of pointless.
