Review of Ghost

Ghost (IV) (2023)
2/10
Trying too hard to be intelligent, oversmartness, overthinking, unrealism destroyed the film
24 October 2023
The film hurt itself trying to do all those above but more the issue was of lack of authenticity. There is no genuine story at all. The film tries to chew a lot than its capable to digest. Sprinkled with forced non-linear story structure, convoluted false complexity to make it look serious which it didn't had any strong core or subject or substance but a ton load of fake style, grandiosity . Its a hotchpotch of ideas poorly made and executed.

There was no characterization of lead character or of any other characters played too, no genuine supporting role built or antagonist. You literally have no idea who are all and what they are and why they are there. It's just everyone including main character are all cardboard characters. Extremely superficial convoluted approach towards story writing and editing assuming that will make it click for non-linear caused it fail in all aspects as a film.

There was no empathy or care or concern or emotionally anchoring for any character or to the story. Filled with one exposition after another for fans and terrible film making purely banking on fan service, it's just painful to watch.

Its like the burning tanker in the film for no purpose, no intention and just show piece. May be that's the GHOST?

Needed major improvement in all departments, but like I said, trying too hard to be intelligent, over-smartness, overthinking to make it all look SO BRILLIANT , failed the film. Lead actor doesn't seem even in the character at all. Fact is there is the original character is even a trick, which even makes it so weak for what they trumpeted him to be. The whole team somehow fails the film it seems. It's sad, what they had the potential, it's just sad.
