Yeah, it's one of those "just do the obvious thing" ideas that would actually work rather than feel tired.

I'm impressed that - based on reviews I've read - he managed to make a movie worse than the 2016 one.

That’s because the 2016 isn’t actually a bad film. It’s more like it’s just there trying to be carried by two really good performances.

It's such a mordant, funny idea. Blue collar comedy thru the prism of high concept hijinks.

My take on it would be just a regular sequel to the original movies, and what would naturally happen after a couple decades. Crews of ghostbusting crews working in NYC in what is now seen as a very common profession, ghosts being akin to rats and other vermin. And one group trying to make a name for themselves (maybe some of them just trying to get thru the day, like Ernie in the earlier movies). Then something super weird and super big interrupts them to catastrophic and funny results.

It's not that hard! For a SA poo poo post!

Speaking as someone with 8 Uncharted platinum trophies, that movie looks like absolute dogshit. Also, weirdly cheap looking and artificial in both the props, sets, and visual effects.

I really liked the 2016 Ghostbusters, have watched it more than once. It should have been made with a quarter of the budget, but I had a good time with it. I know I'm in a minority here though, just feel compelled to mention it now and then to let people know GB2016 likers do exist.

uncharted looks fun, but tom holland just isn't a very good nathan drake. I think this movie is probably going to end up ok but still disappoint by way of expectation setting in the wrong direction.

That's the thing with this, slap a different title on it and suddenly it looks a lot more appealing. As a thing that's trying to bring in the Uncharted fans, it makes no sense.

I could deal with Tom Holland, it's certainly a strange choice but maybe there's an interesting take there, but hard pass on Wahlberg. Just so sick of his face

It's also not a good sign they seem to be going with a bunch of story from Uncharted 4, which was the worst of the games.

And if you haven't played them that game starts in media res with a flash forward, then a long extended flashback, then a long slow opening containing another flashback with a fake death, then another long flashback... and then you get to start playing the game. It's a loving mess. Sure, use that as the basis for your movie.

It's like Emilia Clarke playing Sarah Connor in that awful Terminator film that got thankfully retconned out of canon.

They're not trying to bring in Uncharted fans, they already have your money. They're trying to bring in everybody else who has no idea what Uncharted is but have seen the Spider-Man and Avengers movies.

I'm not an Uncharted fan. Never played one of the games. I am a Holland Spider-Man fan. This trailer did absolutely nothing for me.

Colonel Whitey posted:

Because they want to bring in the Uncharted fans? Movie studios base movies on existing properties because they think that gives them a built-in audience, for example fans of the Uncharted games would be more likely to check out the Uncharted movie than they would "Tom Holland starring in the Hot Treasure Hunter".

Wahlberg's hair.
Don't give a poo poo that Sully in the game had grey hair, its Wahlberg having a darker black than Holland's.
It's the subconscious 'that doesn't look right' that make you think somethings wrong but you just can't place it.
Banderas' hair looks fine, it looks natural.
Wahlberg looks like he just shoe polished it moments before.
Trying that Tom Cruise forever young effect and failing.

The only thing I know from uncharted is that Sully has white hair and Whalberg does not have white hair in the trailer so I am confused. Also I love Tom Holland but he looks like he is 12
