Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Torrin-McFinn77 I remember watching this show on Saturday mornings and enjoying it. Some of the voices I recognized later, including Maurice LaMarche, who would later go on to voice the Brain on Pinky and the Brain (and Ghostbusters was the first time I heard his voice but I didn't know his name at the time). I also recognized the late Lorenzo Music's voice as Garfield the cat, a crash dummy from the old Crash Dummy public service announcements, and a mildly-mannered but gullible spider from Darkwing Duck. And I'd heard Frank Welker's voice (though I didn't know his name at the time either), who did G1 Megatron on the G1 Transformers show. But enough of that. This show combined horror with fantasy and science-fiction. What more could you ask for? And it's not just the ghosts, but also demons and monsters. Could be like the old game Doom but without the blood. But this was better and did without the guns. Sorry, Doom fans! As it was, it was very ahead of its time with good writing and memorable characters. Now if Disney and Warner Brothers could do the same, I'd be so happy! Hey, they did it with Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nick, didn't they?
Ersbel Oraph Maybe The Real Ghostbusters was interesting back in the 1980s when it was an alternative to The Jetsons and The Flitstones. But assuming that seemed amusing so many decades ago, which is quite far fetched, the series has aged badly. The characters and backgrounds are well drawn and in compensation the animation is bad.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
OllieSuave-007 Based on the 1984 blockbuster, this cartoon show was just one of the best TV memories for me growing up. Here, Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Raymond Stantz, Dr. Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore continue on their mission and adventures as the Ghostbusters, trying to rid the city of ghosts - now with a larger contribution from secretary Janine and even help from friendly ghost Slimer.It is exciting seeing the action, humor and horror continue with this cartoon series, as well as seeing the Ghostbusters tangle with the city's pesky ghosts and goblins. Some of the most memorable episodes that I remembered were the Ghostbusters dealing with the spirits of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and when the Ghostbusters help a kind old woman rid her home of poltergeists.The episodes were well-written with imaginative plots, exciting adventures and engaging story lines. The voice actors did a great job in portraying the Ghostbusters, and I most notably remembered actor Lorenzo Music providing the lazy-sounding but iconic voice of Dr. Venkman. The toe-tapping theme song from the original movie can be heard in this cartoon along with a new catch music score as well.Overall, it's a great TV show that is great for both kids and adults!Grade A
roto31 I remember watching this cartoon when it came out in the middle 80's. I just bought the 2 disc DVD pack with both the movies. Two episodes of the cartoon series came on the disc for the 2nd movie. I wish there were cartoons like this on Saturday morning still. This was the one cartoon my brothers and I never missed. We were quite sad when ABC canceled it. My favorite character was Egon while my younger twin brothers preferred Peter and Ray, but we all liked Slimer.This was a cartoon that even adults could watch and be amused. I had never seen the movies when this cartoon came out and this cartoon made to want to see the movies. Unfortunately my family had no VCR till the second movie came out. I got what I expected to see in the movie based on what I saw in the cartoons. Unfortionately the after the second movie came out the cartoon became too cartoon. Whoever had done the cartoon before the 2nd movie did it spot on perfect. If are those of you who are fans of the movies, I recommend the seasons before the 2nd movie came out.
