Ghostbusters 3: 10 Suggestions to Make It Not Suck

By Stuart W. Bedford /

1. Simply Don€™t Make It

Here€™s one sure fire way to make absolutely damn sure that Ghostbusters III doesn€™t suck: simply agree with Bill Murray that it€™s probably unnecessary and throw the script in the bin. Do we really need what we€™re being offered here? Can it be any good? Is it ill-conceived from the start? These aren€™t questions I€™m qualified to answer until I€™ve actually seen the film but nevertheless, they€™re the things that are playing on my mind. And I know I€™m not the only one. I€™m really not sure that now is the right time to make a third Ghostbusters outing and in all honesty I€™m not sure there ever will be. Maybe in the late 90€™s. Maybe even at a push, the early noughties. But now, over twenty years later? If ever a window had closed on anything, it€™s on the Ghostbusters franchise. As you can probably glean, I€™m a sceptic. I do adore the original Ghostbusters series and maybe I am too precious about its possible fate should a third movie begin production. But with that said, it might be great, hell it might be the greatest reboot/sequel ever made. I€™m just€ not quite convinced. For peace of mind, I€™d sooner the whole project were scrapped, at least until such time that Bill Murray decides to grace us with Venkman€™s presence once more (hey, he did it for the Ghostbusters video game so maybe the time will be right once again). Don€™t forget, people are choosing to make this movie. It€™s not being forced on them; they€™re not having their arms twisted. It€™s a choice. I€™m just not 100% sold that it€™s the correct one. Are you? So there are ten potential ways to make the third Ghostbusters outing not suck. Disagree with anything? Do let us know!
