2016 Ghostbusters is filled with improvised lines. They miss more times than they hit.

Paul Feig always wants to be Team Dad and let everyone do their own thing and sometimes that can backfire.

Exactly. I actually like quite a bit of Feig's work (Spy is very good), but Ghostbusters just seemed to get out of hand and he didn't reign it in well enough in the editing room, so you're left with a movie that is too long and filled with too many asides that are inconsistent as hell.

Spy is a good example of managing the improv.

Same. His 2016 version is Ghostbusters filmed like an episode of The Office.
