re: Plinkett Reviews: Ghostbuster Female Reboot; Review Up Now!

The prequels were bad movie but FA did nothing for the universe as a whole.

The point of it was basically a reboot and to give us characters we could connect to. I believe they succeeded in that. Ghostbusters failed in every single way possible.

I would've taken a new KOTOR over it.

I'd be shocked if KOTOR isn't made into a movie in the next 10 if not 5 years. It's a simple a sure fire slam dunk, especially from the disaster it seems we're going to be getting from Han Solo.

They had a whole extended universe to pull from. It was unoriginal on purpose

Well, yeah. Do you not remember the prequels? I have absolutely no doubt that Abrams watched the Plinkett reviews extensively to make sure he could pass his tests. He pulled it off. What Abrams needed to do more than anything else is create new and enticing characters with the original as its foundation and bring in old characters. I'd say TFA was a complete success. I wouldn't have changed almost any of that even in retrospect. It's exactly what it needed to be.
