Watched the newest Ghostbusters, which was surprisingly not godawful, as the trailers made it look to be. It's still very different, and nowhere near as good as the original, but it is kinda funny at times. It's better than many other remakes and reboots (Total Recall, Conan, Jurassic World) but that's not really saying much. One thing I will knock it for is that the humor is very much of the wacky and largely improvised variety that is fairly common today, compared to the much more dry and sarcastic tone of the original. That's not necessarily bad, as long as it's funny, but some of the humor here just is not and is obnoxious at times and it goes on way too long. So it's not bad, not very good, but not a raging dumpster fire like the internet made it out to be.
6/10
Also saw Suicide Squad which was just a goddamn, complete mess of a movie with no idea of what it wanted to be. Grim and dark or more light-hearted? Serious or silly? How about all of the above? It tries for so many different things that it just ends up being a big wad of nothing. Lots of characters that don't do much of anything, a dumb plot, an absolutely godawful villain, really bland action, and a terrible Joker who is in the movie for... I don't even know why he's in this movie. He doesn't even do much other than show up occasionally to be shitty and then disappear for long stretches of time. There are a few bright-ish spots. Deadshot and Diablo are fairly interesting, the bar scene is fairly decent, and Harley's absolutely ridiculous outfit is... enjoyable. It's funny, sometimes, but most of the jokes clash with the oppressive atmosphere of the movie or just fall flat, mostly due to the shit writing.
3 to 4/10
