This movie was genuinely funny and at times genuinely creepy too. After having some concerns, I was really happy to see they pulled it off.… Expand

With very good comedic writing, Ghostbusters is funny from beginning to end and truly never lets up. Heck, I was laughing even during the credits and the post credits scene. The film is funny, through and through. The girls have great chemistry with one another and Kate McKinnon particularly is fantastic. Leslie Jones is no slouch, however, and is fantastic. I had low expectations for her since she is hit-and-miss for me, but she was phenomenally funny. All four have great timing, though they all kind of get overshadowed by Chris Hemsworth. His turn as the dumb bimbo of an assistant is terrific. Every word he says is hysterical and never failed to make me laugh. I was rolling in my chair with how funny some of it was. This film is a true joy to experience and is thoroughly funny. On top of this, the special effects were great. The ghost design was scary and light, while also looking quite cool. The gags with ghosts were also solid and very funny (especially during the final battle sequence). Additionally, I saw it in 3D and the 3D was fantastic. I rarely love 3D and think it makes a difference, but it absolutely was the case here. The 3D was great and, on one occasion, made me jump so bad. In short, I loved this. It was a great experience and it is sad that people were predetermined to hate it because it "is ruining their childhood" or is "anti-man, Paul Feig hates men and I hate feminism ahhh". Idiots. There are legitimate problems with the film, but few negative reviews actually rely on these and instead rely on perceived insults to men, none of which is the case. The villain is poorly done and the plot is certainly not fantastic, but neither really matter to me, because it is a comedy. It is supposed to be fun and boy oh boy is it ever fun. Go see Ghostbusters.… Expand

In the 2016 North American wish to either redo every successful film ever made and present every conceivable variant in the process, for what could be deemed the lack of any possible originality of ideas, I still tried to enter this with an open mind, and see this as if the two films from the 80's (which I enjoyed very much the one time I saw each of them) had never existed. I should state I saw this in 3D (which I hardly ever do), with my lady and our respective sons.

I felt that it was quite funny and that the special effects were excellent. Next to 'Avatar', the use of 3D was the best I have ever seen. It's a popcorn flick well-worth seeing. Though I haven't seen any other movies by Feig or starring McCarthy, it made me want to go back and give them a shot at some time in the near future. There was something for everyone--both my lady and I enjoyed it very much--and the boys, three and thirteen years-old respectively, loved it as well. Give it a shot.… Expand

Sometimes a Director's style is so evident in a particular film that, in this case, the movie might have benefited from being called Paul Feig's Ghostbusters instead.

I'll make this short as enough has been said about this film already.Sometimes a Director's style is so evident in a particular film that, in this case, the movie might have benefited from being called Paul Feig's Ghostbusters instead.

I'll make this short as enough has been said about this film already.

If you have seen any of Feig's previous efforts then you already know the tone of the film, add some familiar collaborators and you have Bridesmaids with ghosts. Both Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy give slightly-tuned versions of their usual schtick. Leslie Jones - despite reviews saying otherwise - gives us a sassy Metro worker that has an inherent love of New York history (which is shoehorned into the relevant moments so obviously, I didn't buy it). The standout for me was Kate McKinnon playing a manic, offbeat Kramer-style character that continued to hold my interest throughout the film--she was the closest in feel to an actual Ghostbuster character. Lastly Chris Hemsworth as a Himbo, plays a solid but forgettable comedic role that has its moments but was done better previously.

Actors aside, the story is passable but not particularly interesting, the villian is (as we should be used to by now) serviceable but bland, and most of the gadgets (given greater screen time this time round) weren't especially memorable updates, with most showing up in the third act, just in time for a silly cgi-laden, ghostbuster showdown that ejects comedy for flashiness. Lastly, the modified theme tune is so uninspired they would have been better starting from scratch.

This is a solid, entertaining family movie, quickly forgotten, that won't change minds stuck in '84'. Kids will undoubtedly enjoy it but as for the adults, well...… Expand

The Film Most Controversial of The Year Scares, Entertains & Satisfies

I want to release my review - principally positive - of profane languages and emotions towards the haters, the only thing I will express would be: "Swallow your own sh_t, fu__ing haters". Now, let's start.

'Ghosts from Our Past' is titled the book written by Dr. Erin Gilbert and Dr. Abby Yates, in which establish how to identify and counteract a paranormal entity. The book is a failure and as a cliche of ' female buddy films ' take directions different. Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig) works as a professor at Columbia University, while Abby continues to studying the paranormal with a peculiar engineer, Dr. Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), However, ghosts from past will return to torment to Erin. She find out that Abby returned to publish the book in digital platforms such as Amazon without her consent, decides to reunite with her partner for remove from the network the stormy book that will possibly ruin her life. Abby accepts with only one condition: She guiding them to a museum in New York, where powerful supernatural forces have evidenced, this, the first venue for a series of conspiracies to will free all the vengeful spirits of the city. A very suggestive and promising initial plot that will impressed even the most skeptical with the best of a summer film.

We all remember with affection and nostalgia to supernatural comedy film released in 1984, directed and produced by Ivan Reitman, which left an indelible hallmark on the global pop culture and became a obliged reference for corporate films of today. Although, we are in the period of resume ideas (" Mad Max: Fury Road "-" Ben-Hur ") and apparently the productions of Hollywood is being obsolete, however, this not means that all reboots has been a fiasco. 1984 are gone, and new generations deserve to know the foundations for the comedy films, therefore, Paul Feig's "Ghostbusters" is a complete delight. The reboot offers some tributes to the original - it is obvious, they were inspired by it - but the atmosphere is different, team is different, the spirit is different, so it has to be assessed as a individual product, it not as the cheap copy that they have sold us detractors.

The relationship between the new team is palpitating, glorious and powerful; showing its hefty power in each frame. Which makes innovative and entertaining to progress of the film is not its screenplay itself, it is the analogy of its characters, the colossal and different attitudes of its protagonists, each one struggling to dominate, but it is nonviable to declare the winner, is like a frenzied crescendo. We have already seen the knowledge that McCarthy possesses for the comedy genre, with the comical film of last year "Spy", "Bridesmaids" of 2011 (directed by Feig), or even this year with "The Boss"; a woman with a so unique and bold humor that has become the humorous lady of the decade in the film world, I am a great admirer and outside the world praises her; with so much potential, it's no wonder her performance in her last movie, boundless guffaws. Kristen Wiig goes by the same road, and despite she is not stand out like Melissa, the duo plays of wonder and remain in place of beginning to end in the film, with their supernatural form of make laugh and also cry.

Rowan North (Neil Casey) plays a villain singularly strange. A guy inspired in the book of Abby and Erin that want to avenge of the world that called him weird, he is part of the heterogeneous mix developed around the film; his quality is proportional to the progress of the film - his final manifestations are fantastic, they will be a pleasant surprise for fans. North is also responsible for guiding Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones) to the team, an African American woman, who works in the subway of New York requests the help of the Ghostbusters for later inundates of laughs and exceptional moments to the audience. Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon) is the queen. She portrays a crazy engineer, with a couple of screws loose but with strengths and well represented in the corresponding scenes. Perfect and ideal complement to the team, it is not the silly addition says absurd and irritating comments, that role fell into the hands of another. Holtzman is the brain of the operation, constantly, makes improvements of her weapons, her technology and her defenses, a character special. Hemsworth has tried to venture into the comedy world, he had a small cameo the last year with "Vacation", but this time, he dared to be the sexy secretary of the 'Ghostbusters', Kevin, a young man with glasses without lens and with childish pants invades in the life of the quartet to fill of comments to some extent funny, but Feig knows how control it and do not exceed this resource until the end. Characters, creatures, ghosts and songs from the original are perfectly implemented by Feig and his team, something that fans will love of the original, I did it.

Special effects are unreal, obviously, but just enough to implant his own hallmark and his signature on each frame. Neon colors, rays and smoke, the new team annihilates to ghosts and adversities present in the story. Multiple cameos were used, but the less surprising and satisfactory was the of Bill Murray, who appeared in form of bitter person and without nothing of his humor of the initial, this was another character, but he could rethink his role.

Paul and his team have done an extravagant work, a puzzle meticulously armed which only falters in small and invisible aspects, nothing is superfluous nor badly worn, it is simply "Ghostbusters". I confess, when I heard the emblem song the franchise felt nostalgia, but after seeing the final result, I say with confidence: "It was worth". 1984 has its own, but 2016 screams perfection. Beyond of the purpose of the film (Entertainment), the extension of the film and especially the end after the credits is a clear analogy to the revocation of the female voice in a misogynist and discriminatory world , the girls say: "we have achieved it" and successfully, they have achieved it with honors.… Expand

The other three ghostbusters were fine and they were entertaining for the most part. Chris Hemsworth kind of felt like an idiot in this film, but that was okay although it felt like he was just an additional character casted into the film. The film itself had a pretty strong beginning and then it just kind of dragged. However, the film itself had some pretty good elements and this film kinda reminded me of TMNT2. Ghostbusters was overlong and did feel like a cash grab remake, but it's watchable for the most part and it certainly doesn't deserve a 2.3 user score. (69/100)… Expand

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this film, mostly from internet hacks who were clinging to the sexist chant that “women aren’t funny.” Ghostbusters is clever and funny, features cool special effects, but is admittedly a little cliched. That being said this film is very good, and I would say don’t let the audience reviews online sway your opinion too much.
For those who don’t know anything about the Ghostbusters reboot, it’s being made by the same people that made Bridesmaids. Bridesmaids is one of the funnier recent comedies, but i’ll go so far as to say I enjoyed Ghostbusters more. While Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig are their reliable selves, the show stealers for me were Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Chris Hemsworth. All 3 brought an unexpected level of humor and screen presence, and almost every joke delivered by Leslie Jones had me laughing out loud. Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon may have entered this film as almost exclusively SNL stars, but after this film I think you’ll see them in a lot more.
The rebooted Ghostbusters, much like the original, uses a lot of special effects, in an attempt to mix big budget CGI with comedy. The original Ghostbusters, sort of broke ground by proving that comedy and big budget special effects could work together, nowadays it’s commonplace as every Marvel movie uses the same approach. That being said the effects in this movie, especially the sound design, were cool and looked good. I will say that some of the effects reminded me of Star Wars, but they aren’t the first and they won’t be the last to copy that movie.
The only big problem I had with the movie was that it felt somewhat derivative. Many moments in the movie it felt like they were nodding to the original instead of trying to be different. That along with the reliance of Paul Fieg on the overly talkative humor, where characters refuse to ever let the audience figure a joke out for themselves, are really the only things that seemed weak in the film. That being said major fans of actions films should beware that the action sequences are nothing special, and some characters aren’t all that well developed.
So in essence Ghostbusters is no masterpiece, it’s really not even a great movie, but it is pretty entertaining. The cast is great in the movie, many of the jokes worked, the effects were cool, the soundtrack was nostalgic fun, and the movie even featured cameos from the entire cast of the original, that are still with us. For those who feel weary because the online fan reviews and ratings have been bad, I fear many of those reviewers never saw the movie, and instead gave the movie a bad rating out of hatred that women are in a traditionally male movie. This is a fairly entertaining comedy, and regardless of what you’ve heard if you like comedies check this movie out.… Expand

Even if you didn't like it, there were clearly worse movies in 2016.… Expand

As with all Paul Feig’s films, Ghostbusters: Answer the Call is a laugh-out-loud experience with great action sequences that the whole family can enjoy.

Some criticize the men as being "dumbed down" or purposefully rude/ignorant in this film, but they’re really on par with most of the bit characters in the original.

As someone who grew up with the original films, cartoons, and comics; I’m glad to say that this reboot is a refreshing take on the franchise that’ll leave you feeling nostalgic and wanting more. … Expand

I really enjoyed this film. It had toilet humour and silly jokes and they got me every time. Also the blonde weird chic was hot AF

I love this film. It was very funny. I love ghosts. The actresses are very funny. I love New York. It made me feel like going to New York. I haven't watched the original "Ghostbusters" in the 1980s.

I haven't watched the original "Ghostbusters" in the 1980s. This might be the reason why I liked the 2016 Ghostbusters'. I heard that many fans were disappointed with 2016 one. Anyway, I may watch the original.Am I going to enjoy it?… Expand

This movie was by no means great but it was often times good and definitely didn't deserve the level of hate it got. The four central characters were actually pretty good for most of the film.

The four central characters were actually pretty good for most of the film. Holtzman was actually great in parts. The four leads did a good job with a script that goes from mediocre to bad in parts. The script is kind of bad, though the actors did an admirable job with it. Now, one thing that does deserve some criticism is the way the movie handles men. Just about every male in the movie was either evil, a jerk, or incompetent or stupid in some way. Literally almost every single one. I didn't really notice at first because I generally enjoyed the movie (except the cringe-worthy ghost fight towards the end) the first couple times I watched it but every viewing since the first it stood out to me more and more. This has nothing to do with the female stars of the film, whom I actually liked, but rather the script.… Expand

This review comes from a person who is not a fan of the Ghostbusters franchise at all. I pretty much just saw this movie because of all the controversy that made me curious and there is honestly not much to say. The humor was not funny, but I don't really care. People really hate when the jokes in a film are not funny, but for me I just don't care. I would criticize humor if it was really offensive or inappropriate, but I don't see anything wrong with the humor in this movie other than it just wasn't funny. I like the all female cast and I think a new idea should have been made for them because like I said I am not a Ghostbusters fan so of course I would be interested in a new concept, instead of having the concept from a female led film inspired by the concept of a male led film which to me is interesting, but I am not sure if it brings much empowerment to women in the film industry as it could. Women can certainly do things that men can, but can also do things that men cannot. Chris Hemsworth was pretty much the dumbest character, but I think that was the point. The special effects were good and the neon colors were cool I guess. The villain had strange dialogue and made a very dull impression in his human form, but I can see that is exactly what they wanted. The plot was not too difficult to watch, but took a long time to take off. In my opinion, Ghostbusters 2016 was just kinda OK. There was not much to offer, but there wasn't anything actually bad about it.… Expand
