Unable to find the argument.Col. Detritch said:I have no Idea why he would make such a statement about Indy! Directed by Steven Speilburg and Produced/ Created by George Lucas! two of the biggest names in Hollywood.
tambourineman said:Ramis was responsible for Caddyshack 2 and Analyse That. I dont think he should call anyone elses sequel a disaster!
Mickiana said:He's right. Something is lost when CG is used, especially when it's too much. This has been talked to death already on this forum, but I think some 'spirit' is lost in the movie making process when it comes to CG. If they wanted to they could make another movie on par with Raiders, but it seems they don't want to.

James said:Back in 1989, Ackroyd and Ramis actually spent a lot of time talking about how careful they were in approaching GB2. They repeatedly stressed that they didn't want to make an inferior sequel, and basically trotted out the same "law of diminishing returns" argument.
I'm looking forward to GB3, but I'll be very surprised if it doesn't generate a backlash. Much like Indy, fanboys will always have that nagging "What if it had happened in the 90's?" question looming in their minds. The fact that they're going with a "younger Ghostbusters/passing the torch" storyline will likely be an issue as well.
Darth Vile said:It's largely carried by the fun premise, great soundtrack and Bill Murray's always watchable performance.
Darth Vile said:I'd be amazed if GB3 doesn't center on the passing of the torch to Venkman Jnr (the rumored Jack Black role).
