00:00So what do you think? It is...

00:01Well, he's ugly.

00:03Well yes, not like Quasimodo, but still...

00:05He's not very attractive. Was his father ugly?

00:08In the 1990s, Dan Erkroyd attempted to write what could be the third film in the franchise,

00:15but he never manages to truly convince.

00:18In particular the cast, notably Bill Murray,

00:20who proclaims, through sheer effort, that he hates sequels in general,

00:22but he won't hesitate to come and collect a nice check in the three S.O.S Phantom films that will follow.

00:27Yes.

00:28In 1999, he managed to produce a story in which the character of Weckman left the Ghostbusters

00:34to spend time with Sigourney Weiser's character, Dana Barrett,

00:38and would be replaced by a new recruit played by Ben Stiller.

00:42There was talk of a portal to an alternate dimension and other such delights.

00:45But this time it's the studios that aren't interested.

00:48And that's a shame, because I would have been curious to see that.

00:50Then in 2009, when the video game was released, it reunited the original cast,

00:54It follows the second installment and sells over a million copies.

00:57This naturally prompts Columbia to consider a sequel.

01:00But in 2014, Harold Rémis passed away, and this sad event brought an end to the S.O.S. Phantom 3 project.

01:05It is replaced by a reboot with a new, all-female cast.

01:09directed by Paul Feig, a specialist in comedies,

01:12and featuring actresses from SNL, a legendary show across the Atlantic,

01:15where the greatest American comedians honed their skills,

01:17including the original cast of the first S.O.S. Phantom.

01:20Everything seems to be falling into place.

01:32But when the trailer comes out, it's a bloodbath.

01:34The internet is going wild and tearing the film apart even before its release.

01:37Particularly because of the production's choice to feature a female cast.

01:40First of all, it's not very relevant to judge a film before having seen it.

01:43and to base their judgment solely on the trailer,

01:45But above all, it's downright stupid to go around insulting actresses on their social media.

01:48The only criticism that can be heard at this time is the choice to revive this franchise.

01:53Because yes, the film is bad, and the casting is partly to blame.

01:55But that has nothing to do with the fact that it's an all-female cast.

01:58And it's especially everything else that's wrong, starting with the story.

02:01Watch closely, ready!

02:03There you go. What do you think?

02:07And that's the real problem with this film in the first place.

02:10It's not funny, even though it's supposed to be a comedy.

02:13Now you're going to tell me that humor is rather subjective.

02:15But in this particular case, it's through the way the dialogue is structured and the staging is done.

02:18that the film does not work in its comedic aspect.

02:21Take this scene with the mayor, for example.

02:23Which is supposed to be a comedic scene, but completely misses the point.

02:26because the chemistry between the characters doesn't work, and the dialogues prevent this chemistry.

02:31That's when you realize that writing a comedy requires a certain amount of thought and real talent.

02:35But it's also here that we realize the importance of casting in a poorly written scene.

02:38Bill Murray was able to improvise a gesture or a word during an average scene.

02:42It provided an extra dimension when the dialogues weren't up to par.

02:45But the cast here, whose talent I do not deny in any way, completely missed the point.

02:50And it's not necessarily all their fault.

02:51Because their characters are clumsily written and as stereotypical as possible,

02:56all this with the aim of accentuating the gags.

02:57Humor is a matter of feeling, a matter of sensation.

03:00It's a tit-for-tat exchange.

03:01That's why improvisation sometimes allows for the best comedic scenes.

03:04But in this particular case, the cast does not have that talent.

03:06The problem is that we're no longer dealing with natural and naturally funny characters like in the first two films.

03:11but to caricatures of characters.

03:13The comic book on duty, the scientist on duty, the crazy woman on duty.

03:17These are caricatures, and it doesn't work.

03:19Because it was precisely the cynicism of the characters in the middle of a fantastical world that gave the first film its lifeblood.

03:24Everyone is overdoing it, and as a result it sounds fake.

03:27Then I think this reboot would have benefited from having a real headliner.

03:31Emma Stone, for example, was approached, but refused, sensing something was amiss.

03:35And another real problem is the French dubbing.

03:37An easy problem to fix by putting it in the original language, admittedly.

03:39But still, the French dub really doesn't help.

03:41Like, Claudia Taqbo, she's a disaster.

03:44Well, if having swag is a crime, then I admit I'm a killer.

03:48That kind of thing can ruin a film.

03:50Paradoxically, this is Medondo's last feature film.

03:52The legendary voice of Eddie Murphy, who passed away three years after the film's release.

03:56Apart from that, the story doesn't work because it doesn't know where it's going.

03:59I gave up after an hour because I was exhausted.

04:01It's just noisy, visually difficult to stomach, and above all, not interesting.

04:05Unlike the original, which left out the scientific explanations that nobody cares about in order to focus on humor.

04:11While this one focuses on all aspects of the universe.

04:13The logo, the name, the car, the equipment test.

04:17And as a result, he takes far too long to get to the heart of the story.

04:20It's as counterproductive as can be.

04:21But this is a problem due to fanservice which forces us to dwell on every element of the known universe even though we don't care about it.

04:26We have a carbon copy of the first film, but with the humor that's no longer there.

04:30Uninteresting characters and epileptic art direction.

04:33The ending of which drives the final nail into a production that should never have gone in this direction.

04:38To see that it doesn't exist at all.

04:39Not to mention the original cast who come to collect a nice check with cameos that are at best useless, at worst embarrassing.

04:44And it takes real skill to successfully screw up a character played by Bill Murray.

04:48Yes.

04:48A pretty $150 million waste that fails to convince until the very last shot.

04:55The only relevant thing is when it talks about YouTube comments.

04:57And stop reading this nonsense, you shouldn't pay attention to what these sick people write in the middle of the night on the internet.

05:02Upon its release, the film was a huge critical and financial failure.

05:06Because although it breaks its production costs with $229 million in worldwide revenue,

05:11This remains a disappointing result for the studio, which had planned to make a trilogy.

05:13The entire cast had, in fact, signed a contract for three films.

05:16and the post-credits scene hinted at the return of the original antagonist.

05:20What is Zool?

05:21An admission of total failure and the impossibility for this franchise to break free from its model.

05:26However, the SOS Phantom franchise wasn't going to stop there.

05:29In 2019, a new film was officially announced.

05:32It will be a direct sequel to the first film and will be directed by Jason Reitman.

05:36Yvan's son, director of the first two films.

05:38With his unique approach and vision of cinema, Jason Reitman is reassuring.

05:41In addition to being linked to the saga by blood, he is therefore the best placed to perpetuate the legacy.
