Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Probably one of the most romantic and emotionally charged films I've seen. Interestingly enough, it is also hilariously funny (mostly thanks to Whoopi Goldberg) and suspenseful. When the film was first released, the industry was skeptical about the film due to the many elements mixed together: comedy, romance, action, fantasy, suspense.... The film has in interesting, yet relatively simply plot, excellently executed by a brilliant cast. The film also very successfully revived the song 'Unchained Melody' by The Righteous Brothers, sending it to the top of the charts.

This is one the best movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scary at time. It is scarier then The silences of lambs could ever be. 7 is a good ratting. But this is such a great movie that 7 is underrating it. This is not a 7. This is a 10. If you like ghost stories you should see this movie. If is a great movie. See it see it see it see it see it see it see it see it. It is one of the best fantasy film I have seen. It is scarier then the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on elm street could ever be. This is scarier then the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th could ever be. See this movie. It a great movie. It has a great soundtrack.

Jerry Zucker, who previously had directed such comedies as AIRPLANE! and TOP SECRET, turned to drama for the first time in this gentle romance which has much going for it. Although it has literally tons of sentimentality and schmaltzy love scenes, these are all handled rather effectively by the director; even though Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore aren't the world's greatest actors they handle their roles efficiently.This reviewer may even have shed a tear or two during the endless heartbreaking moments. However, leaving the mush aside for a moment, the special effects in this film are the main reason for watching, done by none other than Industrial Light & Magic, who would later go on to helm big budget modern hits like TERMINATOR 2.The scenes of Swayze, in ghost form, walking through doors and people are done very effectively, as are the scenes of heaven which are predominant in the final scenes. However the best special effects are the shadows, creatures which come from the darkness to drag those who have committed vile sins in life down to hell. These creatures make really scary noises and are quite unnerving, especially if you're watching at night all alone.With lots of action sequences (the one where Swayze chases his murderer through a building and then the street, using his newly found powers to strike him repeatedly, being the standout) and another excellent scene involving a subway ghost, who is initially frightening but turns out to be okay after all, GHOST is a pleasing combination of romance, comedy, thriller, fantasy and mystery for the hanky brigade. Deservedly winning a number of Oscars (for the special effects), GHOST is a surprising delight, a mainstream film which isn't so bad after all.

"It's amazing, Molly. The love inside, you take it with you."Only one film beat Jerry Zucker's Ghost at the U.S. Box Office in 1990 and that was Home Alone, but Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore's romantic fantasy managed to take everyone by surprise as it topped other films like Pretty Woman, Dances With Wolves, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Total Recall, Goodfellas, and even the sequels for Die Hard, The Godfather, Robocop, and Back to the Future. What is surprising is that this ghost tale still remains such a beloved classic to this date, thanks in most part to the amazing chemistry between Swayze and Moore and to the fantastic soundtrack performed by The Righteous Brothers. I don't know however, if this film would've worked without Whoopi Goldberg's hilarious supporting performance (which won her her only Oscar) considering the story doesn't really pick off until she enters the picture. Of course that overly emotional touching scene at the end is what everyone probably remembers (and the reason why this film won an Oscar for Original Screenplay), but I don't think it has aged too well. The film is entertaining, although it is cheesy at times and the visual effects don't live up to today's standards. What surprised me the most when I saw this is how well it balances those melodramatic moments with the comedy, because I always believed this film was a romantic tale from beginning to end, but it really is more of an action comedy with several twists along the way (albeit predictable ones). There is no doubt that the universal premise of wanting to believe that our loved ones are still with us when they pass away to protect and guard us is what really sold this film and Ghost easily manages to tell that story with two likable actors sharing a strong chemistry together.The film opens by introducing us to a lovely couple, Sam (Patrick Swayze) and Molly (Demi Moore), who've just bought a property and are ready to make their dreams a reality. Carl (Tony Goldwyn) is Sam's good friend and work partner at the bank who is always there supporting him and Molly. However, their dreams are shattered when Sam is murdered after a thug tries to steal his wallet one night. Sam's spirit remains on Earth and he discovers that this wasn't simply a robbery and that Molly's life is also in danger. He must warn her before it's too late, but no one seems to see or hear him. That is until Sam meets a psychic named Oda Mae Brown (Whoopi Goldberg) who will try to convince Molly that she can speak to her dead lover's spirit before it is too late.Up to this point Jerry Zucker was known mainly for co-directing satires like the classic Airplane!, Top Secret!, and Ruthless People. Prior to his solo directorial feature debut in Ghost, he had helped write the screenplay for Naked Gun as well, so he was mainly known for his work in satires. Many probably believed this ghost story was just another satire and so the romantic story took everyone by surprise. I'm sure Bruce Willis was regretting not having accepted to co-star along with his wife at the time, and that may be the reason why he accepted to star in The Sixth Sense years later. It's a different film but it does seem to borrow certain ghostly elements from this romantic tale. I did find it kind of ironic that in the 90's you had these actors standing next to each other being forced to act as if they couldn't see one another, while now you actually have actors forced to talk to characters who aren't there but thanks to the magic of movies and CGI are easily placed later.estebueno10.blogspot.com/
