the only thing that needs to be gotten rid of is the worst reboot of all time, 2016 version of ghostbusters, which is a movie that shoves a middle finger to people who loved the first 2 ghostbuster movies.

I don´t really know why Bill Murray, Dan Akroyd and the others appeared in that horrible boring unfunny movie. The only good thing about that movie: it reminds you of how good the original Ghostbusters movie was.

It's like the original Ghostbusters movie, if the original Ghostbusters movie rehashed the plot of the original, and replaced the witty humor with forced jokes and an obscene amount of product placement.

I can’t believe Dan Aykroyd produced this. Bad writing, worse acting despite endless cameos, and just cheap “comedy.” Stop ruining great franchises!

A shallow, yet predictable ‘modern twist’ that adds nothing to the Ghostbusters legacy, other than smearing the name and leaving a sour taste in the mouth. Poor humour, a far-cry from the cherished energy and vibe of the originals/animatedA shallow, yet predictable ‘modern twist’ that adds nothing to the Ghostbusters legacy, other than smearing the name and leaving a sour taste in the mouth. Poor humour, a far-cry from the cherished energy and vibe of the originals/animated series and quite frankly a display of D-Grade ideas with a budget more than it can chew.

The epitome of a terrible, very obvious elephant in the room, 21st century rebrand attempt.

It's a kind of analogy of Idiocracy. Take two very good movies of the 80's which are smart, fun and classy and look at what it became few decades later. A totaly dumb and stupid spectacle with terrible jokes and farts.

I facepalmed myself a dozen of times during this "thing". Pathetic.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a terrible movie, where do I begin. First off nobody asked for a reboot, we simply wanted to continue the story from GB2 or the video game (depending on what is considered cannon).
I'm sure the girls are funny, but they felt bland and boring, except for the chick who played Holzman. She made this movie somewhat watchable.
The comedy is forced and not funny, the ghosts look like ghosts from Scooby doo 2. The "epic" battle at the end is with the logo ghost.

In fact, I only understood the reason for the delay after some reading: a contract specified that a new film would be released if the director and the four original protagonists agreed, and that agreement has never been possible until now. On the one hand, I'm glad that this has been surpassed, but on the other hand I confess that I expected something more: this film is good, it entertains and is a visual spectacle, but it has many flaws. For me, the most outrageous is to ignore original films. That is, I would have preferred to see a sequel which continues the story and takes into account the years that have passed, than a pure and simple "reboot" that ignores everything before.

The script begins with the meeting of two old friends, both scientists, who in the past were fascinated by the world of the supernatural. One of them remains connected to this and is head of a university research office, but the other wants to forget about it, and be regarded as a serious academic in the scientific world. However, the way they quickly bridge their differences and re-match efforts is far-fetched, and the film's continuation will not improve that: we have forced, unbelievable, illogical ideas and situations, ill-conceived characters, a constant and irritating obsession with gender issues and political correctness, which keep the quality of the plot below what we can demand. Because of this, and other issues that I will address, I am forced to rate director Paul Feig's performance as an amateur. He seems to have simply let things go by themselves, intervening as little as possible and demanding only the basics of everything and everyone.

The cast has several strong names, starting with the quartet formed by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. I really can't say something bad about their work. I think they did the best they could with the material they received, even though the dialogue is fake, the jokes are silly, and the characters are as dense as a cardboard. Jones is the better to handle it, in contrast to a sleepy McCarthy and an exaggerated, histrionic McKinnon. Contrary to what some might have thought, I don't believe the fact that they are women (in the previous films, the Ghostbusters were men) is a special bonus. For me, it's irrelevant, as I care more about character design and the good work of the actors than about gender issues, which only serve to polarize and use cinema for political purposes, taking the focus away from art and of quality entertainment. Instead of using cinema to make politics, empowering women and feminizing men, films should seek to improve their stories, give credibility and depth to the characters, bet on quality. Otherwise, the feeling that pervades is that cinema seeks to do a work of expiation or penance. Maybe that's why I hated Chris Hemsworth: in addition to failing to be a good villain, he's amorphous for most of the movie and has the intelligence of a canary. Neil Casey doesn't even deserve to be mentioned: his work is forgettable. I liked the cameo of the original protagonists, but I regret they couldn't revive the original characters as well. It would have been something more honorable and meritorious.

Technically, the film bets everything on visual effects and an ambitious, expensive, flashy and full of color CGI. This is something really impressive, and on the big screen it has a remarkable impact, but ultimately it gets tedious, excessive and turns the movie into a kind of expensive and noisy video game, an excuse for tons of expensive effects. The film misses the action scenes, which are absorbed by the effects and lack impact. The cinematography is good and impressive, but the editing was poorly done, and I think the cuts were excessive or badly placed. The soundtrack tries to honor the original by updating it, but it ended up making one of the most interesting theme songs in the cinema of the Nineties dull and monotonous.

I saw the movie (So i'm not someone who critic a movie than i didn't watch, like the writters & producer accuse people). It’s bad written. It’s just a vessel, an excuse, to make men look like crap & stupid. To make women look like awesome even if their acting is bad. Only Kate McKinnon play nice in this movie but it’s not enough to save the movie sadly. Even the “evil” guy is bad written. The "background" characters act like vegetables, they are just here to answer to the main characters, they have no mind of their own. And the story is pretty bad. They can say what they want about people making critic without seeing the movie, the fact is if you watch it, it’s even worse. The movie could have been better without all those feminist crap. Making a “normal” movie in hollywood seem difficult in modern times.
I really regret all those insane sexist message. I'm watching movie to relax not to see hollywood pepper me with politics fights.

When i see the choose they made to make this movie, i'm not surprise to see than the movie failed. They deserve what they get. They were lazy and decide freely to bring feminist into a movie. They decide to release a poor movie. That's totally their fault.

I have read comments about the alleged misogyny based dislikes of the new 2016 Ghostbusters movie reboot…
I can assure you that i am NOT against a re-boot, or a woman lead Ghostbusters team, but i AM against spending time, effort, money and resources just to try to duplicate a classic movie franchise - unless you give the team something better to fight against - and strive for - this time around.
Here's an overview of what a brand new sequel (NOT a reboot) could be:
A team of women Ghostbusters could, for example, NOT [like men tend to] shoot first, but ask questions: WHY is a ghost in disguise attacking us - and why now? Women are 'allowed' to show their feelings; use this too: at least one of the women is 'psychic'; she somehow 'knows' that the *apparently* evil ghost in disguise is actually an innocent victim - who wants the Ghostbusters to help bring her killers to justice.
The women would understand that the ghost 'stereotype' of mindless evil is wrong; *not* all ghosts are bad. Men might have a hard time with that concept.
See? Rather than putting down men, you could elevate women. And these women would have depth and purpose - not be just uncomfortable stereotypes who complain about a lack of wontons in their soup. The character of Patty could *seem* angry because she still has PTSD from her prior career in the US Army during our war with Iraq. So the film could show growth and improvement of the women characters.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fact this film is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes is worrying to me because the film was everything but fresh. I'm not a fan of these all women cast remakes just because they seem very forced and gimmicky. Whatever happened to organic feeling female lead roles like Sigourney Weaver in the Alien series or Geena Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight? From the start it was clear the humor wasn't going to be subtle, witty or clever and that instead it would substituted this with over the top, slapstick, haha-we-mentioned-Starbucks-how-relevant-because-that's-a-real-thing humor that films seem to go for these days. The whole thing was very confused - the cast all seemed to be constantly vying for the "funny one" spot which just created this very 2D experience, there was no variation in character, the bad guy was completely forgettable and un-intimidating, the story was very "meh". The only thing that was funny was the fact that Chris Hemsworth's character only managed to get the job as the ghosterbusters' receptionist because they found him attractive! Can you imagine for one moment if it was the other way around? Alas, it's an all women cast so it's "empowering". I'd like to comment on the plot a little more but it was honestly that forgettable. Overall, a waste of 2 hours and unfortunately I can't use that thing out of Men in Black to erase this from my memory. Expand

You simply cant take the worst misonygist traits of old movies and turn it around, it lacks class and it makes for a horrible movie. It also lacks in writing, the first two movies basically had the same script and for the third they went and did the same - it does not work. You can do better, these actors are GOOD in other movies so its not their fault i think. Expand

But to make a reboot is just plain stupid. It could have been some kind of sequel that acknowledged and followed the original films. But instead we got this pathetic joke of a film. What a waste of a great opportunity. Aside from the reboot nonsense, the plot is boring, special effects feel like its a childish made-for-tv-movie, the character's lines and development are contrived, flat, and foolish, the ghost busting equipment looks like stuff built out of garbage, and the HQ is a cheep filthy garage. This is not a ghostbusters film in any way other than by name. Expand

With such an amazing premise and talented cast, this should have been a dead cert success. What the writers and directors were thinking is beyond me. High-school drama students would have churned out a better, funnier script that this cr*p.

This is not a movie for watching, it's a movie that could be used as a cautionary tale for would be screen-writers and directors.

Having four women follow the path of the original ghostbusters was a great idea, Bill and Dan could have passed the torch on, but this movie like many recent others hides behind a so called empowering of female characters to get sales, and then it sets them up to fail. Sadly the director turned the movie into a bland senseless thing that goes nowhere for two hours. Kate McKinnon does a great job, and so does everyone else in the cast, with the exception of Melissa McCarthy who I find poor at acting and comedy. But the plot and its execution ruin everything for everyone. Paul Feig managed to get a commercial success out of some cheap movies in the past, and that's why he got to do this project, not because he's good at directing, or because he cares about female characters, or the ghostbusters fanchise. This whole thing has been depressing, I hope a new reboot can be created in the future that isn't as poor as this. Expand

Unlike the original movies, these 4 girls are amateurs and yet can accurately hit a pinpoint on a moving target whilst arcing the streams. In the originals, the ghostbusters would be shooting them everywhere and struggle to control their weapons. It was more believable that these were amateurs than this movie.

The 2016 movie feels like a parody of the original, a two hour Saturday Night Live sketch. Back in 2007 there was a ninety minute fan film called Return of the Ghostbusters which also followed a band of new recruits. If my memory is correctThe 2016 movie feels like a parody of the original, a two hour Saturday Night Live sketch. Back in 2007 there was a ninety minute fan film called Return of the Ghostbusters which also followed a band of new recruits. If my memory is correct it was set in Denver and had similar directing and story beats to Paul Feig’s movie. But that was a fan film and could be considered great to a point. I shouldn’t have to compare a multi-million dollar movie to something fans did for a quarter of a million almost ten years ago. This is a movie without logic. It does want it wants just because, without any thought as to what really worked in the original. This is a movie where members of an audience seem happier to use a selfie stick to snap ghosts than run away from them. This a movie where the villain uses the time travel of a portal to alter New York so it looks older. Why? I have no idea. The idea to disconnect from fans may of seemed like the obvious choice in that it brings in new fans however when you have a property that’s almost adored as much as Star Wars it may not be wise to go after just that other audience. What fans wanted and what would have made sense was a third movie that passed the baton onto a new set of recruits. This isn’t the GB movie we got and to misquote a certain Batman it’s not the movie the fans deserved either. What you’re left with is a movie that offends fans and is only likely to appeal to either Paul Feig fans or small children who never grew up with the originals. Before this film was released like many I wanted this movie to fail for the reasons mentioned in this review. However, having seen the new movie the anger I felt has turned to pity for everyone involved as well as the kids who grow up with this movie. Clearly everyone was trying, too hard it must be said but like the 90s animated series by design it was destined to fail and that’s worse than hating a film outright because it’s bad. I can’t totally hate the finished product because it desperately wants to be liked. The film would have been ok if it had been a spin-off movie but to bring back a semi-dormant franchise with this movie is a massive waste of time and money for self-indulgent political views that have nothing to do with the film’s story. Good intentions without suitable reasoning because at the end of the day why did it have to be Ghostbusters?! At least I can wrap up by saying the 90s animated series is no longer the worst thing to come out of the franchise. Faint praise I know. I never got to see an actual Ghostbusters movie in the cinema and it seems my childhood dream of doing so will have to wait. A stumble but hopefully one day the franchise will walk again, that’s what being a Ghostbusters fan is all about. Expand

Long time Ghostbusters fan. Haven't been into it that much since I was kid when I was bonkers for it. Even missed the 2009 video game.

I went in to this movie with high hopes and it was...fine? As a disposable summer comedy it was...adequate? As the long awaited follow up to Ghostbusters 2 it was...a total let down.

These very talented actresses did their best but they had no help from an awful script that was razor thin with a weak tea villain and a plot that held no surprises. Everything felt totally under cooked. And ultimately, it just wasn't that funny. I was willing to accept a totally different tone from the original movies if this was going to be side splitting funny but...I chuckled a few times?

If you want a mindless comedy you'll forget about as soon as the drive home then by all means pay to see this movie. If you love the originals then save your money and wait for it to drop on Netflix.

It's annoying to see that their best jokes are people simply just getting hit in the face or stumbling. They don't make the same jokes and it just wasn't the same. I know that it isn't easy to recreate the feeling that people had when watching the first ghostbusters but keeping that in mind, they didn't even get close and they should have left the original movie as it was and just left it alone.

Yes, this is the all-girls-remake of the 1980's darling "horror comedy" franchise, this time starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, and, er, the other ones. Most of the original cast return with "surprise" cameos too, excluding, of course, the late Harold Ramis.
This is just a sad **** of a movie where everybody tries and tries for two hours and more, but nothing worthwhile emerges.
The only good thing I can think about the movie is that at least they have tried. For a long time, they try to make us laugh with their witty bantering dialogue and good chemistry but none of it materialises and the result is dead on arrival.
Alongside "Anchorman 2" and "Zoolander 2", this must be one of the biggest failures of recent times, where they tried to bring back some cult classic and just fell on their asses.
"Ghostbusters" is so bereft of laughs or joy that it feels **** even by movies starring Melissa McCarthy's standards, who's still desperately trying to define and recreate this little magic she managed to create in her breakthrough role in 2011's "Bridesmaids".
The same goes to Paul Feig, of course, who has mostly directed McCarthy's movies, the first and only creatively successful one being "Bridesmaids", of course. He should go back to TV world or something.
Rotten Tomatoes' and Metacritic's reviews are far too kind this time, the most telling would be the latter's user score of 2.9 out of 10.
The only bits I at least semi-enjoyed in the movie were original ghostbusters' surprise cameo appearances, and maybe Chris Hemworth as the good-looking but stupid assistant to the girls. He's the closest thing this "entertainment" had to offer to make me smile.
The visual effects look cheap too, although this may be some kind of homage to original movies.

The movie tries too hard to be funny; it oversells every joke, and delivers as many jokes in a row as possible to get any to land. Like all of Kevin's scenes are a string of ten jokes, and one will be funny, but it is immediately overplayed by nine other groaner jokes. It is so hyper jokey, that nothing is allowed to marinate. I smiled a few times, but every time it turned into a mess of cut up jokes that would make me frown. Cringe humor and hyper-talking humor works in some movies and much of tv comedy, but it did not work in this movie. The moment you start to think this movie could get good, with a few cool looking ghosts, or when the intensity picks up, immediately they kill it with silliness; like they thought it would be funny to have Slimer and his girlfriend ghost, but the joke doesn't end and they totally force them into the plot. The characters of ghostbusters step out of situations just to make a
joke, and make you lose the immersion of the situation. Kate McKinnon's character Holzmann eating pringles part is not just annoying for the forced product placement, but for the complete lack of the character's immersion. She continues eating pringles as a ghost is projectile-attacking Kristen Wiig's character as if she were watching a baseball game. Yeah I know she is aloof, but no reaction to the actual jump scare. This happens the whole movie. The audience needs to be pulled in by the actors, but the characters would never stop talking for two seconds to allow the situation or their expressions to make us laugh. (Except I like Patti's reaction with the ghost on her back.) The gadgets like pk meters and portal devices all look like plastic Halloween toys, and i actually thought the movie would reveal that they were just toys, but no, they were supposed to be real science. Bill Murry's cameo is even super lame in this. I would have been so disappointed in this movie if I was not already expecting it to be bad. I hope they try again, maybe another reboot.

What have they done to my favorite classic childhood film? They could've called this trash (I'm really sorry, I have to) Ghostbuster: Ladies in Action or something other than just Ghostbuster. Calling this Ghostbuster is totally disrespectfulWhat have they done to my favorite classic childhood film? They could've called this trash (I'm really sorry, I have to) Ghostbuster: Ladies in Action or something other than just Ghostbuster. Calling this Ghostbuster is totally disrespectful towards so many fans and definitely to the original. The writings, the casting, and the direction are junk. This movie was made purely to spit on men and to deny their roles. Women are beautiful creatures, they're smart, and unique. They definitely don't deserve to be put in this terrible propaganda film. I'd rather they cast some monkeys and cats. Expand

This movie is awful. The humour is clearly written by a woman. It's painful to watch. Who is the target audience? Why does every character have this **** attitude? We will never know..

The pacing is horrible, the CGI on the ghosts look horrible, the "jokes" were not funny and the characters are all not likeable at all. Save yourself the time and money.

Misandristic, unfunny rubbish. All 4 female leads are trying to be Peter Venkman. Leslie Jones play a stereotypical black woman, rather than the Everyman character that Ernie Hudson did. Also, every male character is either an idiot, a cowardMisandristic, unfunny rubbish. All 4 female leads are trying to be Peter Venkman.
