I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie started out with a big problem. It has to live up to being a follow-up to one of the great iconic movies of the 1980s. But that shouldn't have stopped it being a good film in its own right. It has a decent cast, nice-looking CGI effects and even cameos from several of the original's cast. But then it ran into a problem so many re-boots and re-makes run into. It is being made by people who have no idea what made the original so great and who see it more as a quick buck rather than a chance to re-imagine an old franchise. Though it entertains, it's a lot better than most of the recent Hollywood re-boots and there's the odd moment of genuine humour, it's still just a typical cash-cow. Compared to the complex personalities of the original team, the four new Ghostbusters are all one-note characters (one of them seems to think "eccentric" means simply staring boggle-eyed through comedy-nerd glasses). Just about everyone else in the movie is there simply to be irritating. Most of the humour is just low-brow, and the horror is uninteresting. There are no images that come close to rivalling the memorable designs of the original two films, and you come away feeling nothing for the characters. Worth a look as a curio for fans of these kinds of movies, and the cast do the best with the spartan material they're given, but it's hardly the kind of thing for repeated viewings.

Obviously this is a remake of the original Ghostbusters. Ostensibly it is the same story as the original but with gender roles reversed. There is really nothing wrong with the acting but it lacks the originals sharp wit. It does benefit from modern CGI. It is more importantly another message to Hollywood that you don't touch or remake classics. An often repeated lesson from which Hollywood never seems to learn.

I'm putting all controversy aside for this film, because I'm one of the very few who was excited from the trailer. I mean the film has a great cast, a capable director, and it's the Ghostbusters what could be wrong? Well let's do this, first off the film is needlessly a reboot. With so many movie sequels coming out years and years after the original, Ghostbusters has an opportunity to do a continuation but instead decided to reboot a movie that didn't deserve a reboot, and nothing will ever be that first film from 1984, so the least you could do was give an entertaining follow up, but no remake it. I wouldn't mind that much if the plot and story left something to be desired but it's actually a very standard story which doesn't make for an interesting take, it basically Re-tells the original with a female cast and setting it in modern day. Speaking of which the cast, I actually love this cast Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth give great performances and are definitely the heart of the movie, they are the only two that feel like their own characters. While I love Mcarthy, Jones, and Wiig who are all hilarious women and great actresses, there characters are not memorable and they aren't really given anything funny to say. It feels like Feig and the cast were told to play it safe and that's evident from the writing, effects, and awkward cameos. Finally last but not least, I personally always saw Ghostbusters as an interchangeable team, one that could have many different people with different genders or race or whatever, and an all female cast is not bad, but that shouldn't be a The whole point of a film. (especially Ghostbusters) This is a film that feels like it could've been so much more, but instead is a forgettable yet innocent feature that just needs more creativity and comedy that made the franchise work in the first place.

When I heard that this movie was coming out, I was confused. Why remake a movie that was so beloved by so many. The movie has a strike against it before it was was released.When I finally sat down to watch the movie, it met my low expectations. Kate McKinnon could read pages out of a phone book and be funny. Melissa McCarthy is at her best when she plays a character that isn't over the top, same with Kristen Wiig. Leslie Jones has to be over the top, that's her style.I can't complain at the performances, they did the best with what they had. I thought the story was lacking although there was some good laughs.I'm hoping that a sequel is not in the works. Women with this much talent can find something much more befitting to them. If it happens to be on a movie channel, go check it out, lots of cameos.
