  1. Okay, I saw the film today. No spoilers, but I really liked it. I feared it would just 'The Force Awakens' the story of the first, and while I can sort of see it, the way it's set up takes it out of that territory for me. There is one part I'm in two minds over. Without spoiling, I'll just say you'll know it when you see it.

     

    The thing I like most is that this film doesn't sequel-bait. They resolve the main conflict, it's done, there's nothing to set up more. Even the mid-credits scene is just a funny little thing. It sets nothing up.

     

    I will say that it definitely contradicts the video game. So you can either take the Ghostbusters game as the conclusion, or Afterlife as the conclusion. Personally, I'm good with both.

  2. The title of the track "Nice Try, Kevin" does indeed have a story purpose. In that scene, Buzz is called back to the house the new kid is in to deal with a 'forgotten child', and he refuses. That's because, in petty revenge for being left behind twice, Kevin prank-calls the Police every year with that call, knowing they'll get Buzz to look into it. Kevin also became a home security expert, it's his home security system the new kid's house uses. "Nice try, Kevin. Nice try, troutsniffer".

     

    About the only thing I would say has any value in this film, I must say.

  3. Personally, I don't really care :lol: It's just fun to poke fun at what he said :P

     

    What would be even funnier is if he genuinely believed it and found out the same time we saw the film :lol:. After all, he's not been in any of the leaked BTS shots with them so far (the shot above is a post-production shot). "Darn, Tom's a big blabbermouth, so we'd better not actually film him with those two, otherwise it'll be out in the press tomorrow. Don't tell him about them either."

     

    What's weird though is these leaks are really well-timed. The unfinished trailer leaked the same day the actual trailer did. The video of Andrew Garfield leaked the same day he publicly said he wasn't in it. Those photos above leaked at about the same time the Total Film article was published.

  4. Tom Holland talks to Total Film: "It's three generations coming together"

     

    Quote

    "Everyone puts their trousers on in the same way in the morning," he says. "It was interesting having those guys come in because they have a certain ownership over Spider-Man in their own way, and..." He pauses. Our Spidey-senses start tingling. "I’m talking about Alfred and Jamie and those guys. To see Alfred come in, and have to adapt and change to the way that the films are made, but also change director, and also [the fact that] I’m now Spider-Man. It was really interesting to see these actors adapt and change what they were doing to fit the modern era."

     

     

    Was that a slip of the tongue? Holland clarifies: "People don’t believe me when I say that [Maguire and Garfield] are not coming back. But people are going to have to believe me at some point." He laughs. "It means a lot to me. The first time you see Doc and the rest of the characters that come back, it’s so exciting – and it’s such a huge moment in cinematic history. It’s three generations coming together."

     

    Tom, mate... after this movie, nobody is ever going to believe a word you say again ROTFLMAO

  5. Listening to it, and... it's not awful. A few Williams quotes here and there. Definitely not a patch on Williams' first two scores though. I suppose 'compentent, not unlistenable' would be the way I would describe it.

     

    Even 'Setting The Trap' makes an appearance but it's played with a rather poor-sounding drum kit rather than the more powerful one used in Williams' scores.

     

    I have to say, 'Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy' sounds more like it would have been at home in Scrooged though.

  6. I actually think it doesn't look bad. It's just... confusing as to where this is supposed to be set. You got the Raimi Spider-Man on a wall mural, the Raimi Daily Bugle logo (with the MCU dailybugle.net URL beneath it), the TASM Oscorp logo, Vulture from the MCU, and references and allusions to Venom, which take place in an entirely different universe.
