10 minutes in and he's totally right about Sony Pictures being a giant train wreck. I just looked up their list of movies for the past few years and they're 95% trash.

So far, he is blaming Feig and Sony on this.

Rightfully so.

He is hammering on Sony's product placement in this.
This is like ramming two trashcans into each other repeatedly to see which one bursts open first.

I mean, you posted in it.
Nah, 2 gave me some laughs, the remake just made me think they got all the wrong people to work on the remake. Great example of what I hate about these type of "comedies" that have been coming out this past decade.
I tried for about 59 seconds, but I think that I am too old to get the appeal of these sorts of videos. I will probably follow along this thread for the Cliffs Notes version instead of forcing myself through an hour of that voice.
EDIT: To clarify, I am not saying that the video isn't worth watching. I just don't get/like the weird voice stuff on youtube. I am interested to see what people think of the content, even if I will probably stick to lurking.
If a text transcript shows up at some point, I'll read that.

disagree
i could never really get into em, some of RLM feels like just talking about a film on the way back from it - which i enjoy with friends, but that's about it
ill give them that they're at least entertaining sometimes, as opposed to say, TGWTG or whatever it was stuff

(the Jaws mayor joke was good, or at least Andy Garcia's part of it)
That seems about right. Sony is terrible and Feig was an absolutely terrible choice to match w/ the IP.

He makes a good point of the amount of callbacks that it makes to the first movie and how it ruins the movie.

The slobbering anticipation for this "takedown" is a sad extension of the original, mysogynist cynicism that accompanied the initial casting announcement.

Embarrassing post. How about watching it and then posting about it?
I just started but this doesn't seem to be like their Scientist Man video and more like their Ghostbusters "re-view".
That's fine, personally I remember enjoying the sequel whenever they played it on TV. It does have it's flaws though, but not enough for me to not like it, unlike the remake being kinda bad from beginning to end.
15 minutes and it hasn't happened so far.....but, there's lots of video left.
Nope 2 is a 10x superior movie to the 2016 version.
bullshit
considering you have to actually watch the review to post in here I doubt it as the review is fine
all that hullabaloo in the other thread was for nothing, it seems
it's bad, but more boring bad than funny bad.

almost halfway through and so far there's none of that. honestly, I think there's plenty about this movie to trash without even bringing that spurious "argument" to the table
Jack and Jill. They went over this in their two parter of it on Half in the Bag.
Nah, RLM isn't without criticism. Reactions to the anticipation of them covering a movie that they constantly downplayed the sexism surrounding it is to be expected. But sure. "hullabaloo".
10x0=?

I liked the movie, but I agree with everything they've said so far.
Did you watch it at 2x speed?

I'm 17 mins in and he is focused on Sony, products placements, Paul Feig, and the references to other movies.

yeah a few cameos were fun but it really felt like a crutch at times, that's true

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I re-watched this last night. I honestly think the movie would be like a million times better if a) you cut about 40% of the jokes, even some of the good ones like the Jaws mayor joke, and b) the movie didn't have the colour palette of a live-action cartoon.
edit: c) and you got rid of the cameos.

Keep in mind:

Sony Pictures Classics is the remaining decent part. But thats mostly just distribution.
Spy was a surprisingly good movie. Statham was especially great. Really disappointing that Ghostbusters 2016 was such a misfire from Feig.
