This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The movie opens this weekend, March 22, 2024.

So far I'm seeing mixed reviews. They do say that the movie is funny, which is good because the trailers haven't had a lot of jokes in them. They also like the villain.

I'm not sure if I will get out to see it, seeing movies has become more of a hike now that my local theater closed.

I’m going to try and get out to see it tomorrow night.

Looking forward to some new proton pack action to drool over.

I liked it quite a bit.

Was supposed to be reminiscent of an episode of The Real Ghostbusters and I think they succeeded. Does take a fair amount of time until the new bad guy appears. Lot of buildup to him appearing.

Not perfect, but I liked it. It does expand on the tech a bit, and would be very easy to move in a “franchise” direction after this movie.

There's also this in the second movie.

I saw it. I found it to be rather dull and generally disappointing, but the others that went with me both liked it.

Seems to be getting alot of mixed reactions with reviews leaning to a bit dull. But not unwatchable like 2016.
