My favourite Blair Witch fact -- they returned the video camera to the store for a refund after shooting, someone out there has the camera and doesn't even know it.

That's interesting Faldor, I couldn't make it through half the movie myself. I found no stakes, no tension at all, nothing to keep me interested, no arc or sense of direction to the story. Plus the only laughs I got were from Chris Hemsworth, because he looked like he wasn't trying soooooo hard to be funny at every moment, like the rest of the cast (Kate Mckinnon especially).

I found no redeeming qualities at all from the first hour I watched. The editing in particular was almost comically inept. Some scenes were ended so abruptly I started laughing to myself.

Every scare was undercut with jokes, nothing was scary. They have a scene where a ghost shows up in a subway tunnel. Constricted, cramped dark space with a ghost, potential to be pretty scary right?

Nope.

1. They walk literally about 30 feet into the tunnel, and you can still see the lit, populated platform behind them. No sense of claustrophobia or isolation.
2. The tunnel is lit to hell and back, giving no sense of atmosphere or darkness.
3. Ghost looks like a guy in a suit color-corrected blue. Not scary.

The person who encountered the ghost gets scared and runs away from the camera, and I was expecting them to be chased, because that would imply the ghost atleast being a threat of some sort. Nope, the scene just ends with the person running from a stationary camera.

The whole movie is lit like a fucking sitcom. It looks like a childrens show, color everywhere, warm and bright.

I've enjoyed Paul Feig before, I really liked "Spy" and was laughing like hell throughout that one. Why he even bothered with this one I'll never know.

I agree that there was a lot of "they fight, because it's in the title". I enjoyed the fighting but as MCU grows it's one I may skip in marathons. Depends on how its own actions are paid off later down the line.

I like Prometheus, myself, but I can't explain it either.
