To me, this movie is perfection.
Simply A Masterpiece
One of my all time favorites.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
I really did, but the story didn't flow logically. And the characters choice didn't match their intelligence. The best parts of the film were the cameos of the original stars.
I'm not sure why so many people have it an awful rating, with many people declaring they wanted to "claw their eyes out"! That seems a little cray cray but to each their own. First off the original GB's were okay but not like academy award winning movies that got pissed on. People who are acting like that are just being weird trolls and have nothing better to think about.This movie is funny and it makes fun of itself by taking elements of the original but putting their own spin. I'm pissed people took this movie which is a comedy and made it some weird political agenda. It's abour freaking ghosts and they cook people who believe in them and fight them for people who think them crazy; that's it. If you read more into it, than your looking for stuff to not-pick on.I'm also pissed there won't be a sequel because I think the second one would have really been awesome since they were going to bring in Zuel, but I guess now we'll never know. If you want a fun movie to watch with the family, then this movie is it.
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 own this movie, saw it in theater with friends, watch it at home with family, discuss it with colleagues-everyone I know loves it. The only place I seem to find criticism is online, mostly because men are whining about how "the feminists are taking over!" Which I am so very sorry to say, is not the case. What this movie does it simply: It preserves the comedy, action, intrigue, and joy of the original Ghost Busters, but without all the blatant sexism! It has incredible stars, hilarious dialogue, and a plot that is just as engaging as anyone can expect from a Ghost Busters movie. Aside from people complaining that there isn't enough misogyny for this to be considered a winner, the only other complaint I see is that it's predictable: you know who the villain is, you know who the good guys are, and you know that there will be a happy ending. But if you don't like that, your problem isn't with the 2016 reboot, it's with Ghost Busters in general. This isn't supposed to be a serious, gripping drama; it's a science fiction comedy with lovable characters and fun adventures. My only complaint is that there's too much throw back to the previous films. I understand some people wanted to see old characters and all, but they really weren't necessary, and just ended up muddling the plot. Overall, though, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who isn't a whiny piss baby who feels threatened anytime they see a woman in power.
