Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Stormsworder2 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.
seandaly-19950 I understand that filmmaking is a left leaning business, but to remake an iconic movie with female rather than male main characters is too far. Also the acting, humor, and CGI is bad to. Don't listen to critics, this is not a good movie.
rgummin The only funny thing I saw in the first half was the look on Jones's face when she first saw a ghost although i thought that type of racial stereotyping was deemed politically incorrect 50 years ago. I also thought showing women as completely incompetent of any scientific or logical thought was frowned upon now days, although I know showing all men as complete irrational, one dimensional idiots as they did in this movie is now considered not only OK but mandatory. I couldn't believe they included a whole discussion of the movie "Ghost" which no one under 45 remembers. Half of the actresses can only know this film from their studies of ancient classics but had to pretend they have regular wet dreams about a geriatric actor. I think maybe they hope you will turn off the volume, play loud music, take acid and only watch the light show parts of this movie.
wtfgawker That they forgot to actually make a ghostbusters film.
