I didn't bother to see this film! That's all I have to say about the film. I love the original film from 1984 and the sequel from 1989, which is to me very underrated.

A very bad remake that has an awful script, screenplay and direction. The jokes are not funny and every single actor in the movie seem like they don't care.. and neither should you.

A contender for the worst film I've ever seen.
To be clear, I couldn't give two **** about the original and I'm anti-misogynistic. That is actually one of the reasons I hated it so much, the waste of talent on offer. The funniest women, nay,

The funniest women, nay, people on the planet in one of the most aggressively unfunny disasters. It truly feels like the writers room went out of their way to make it tiring and bland. I'm glad it empowered young women otherwise this turd had no business existing

One of the best thing about the original movie is how it worked as a blend of a true horror movie and a comedy, while 2016 feels very awkward and rough. A ghostbuster reboot fails not because the main characters are women, but a weak script and a poor direction Expand

This movie exists. Nobody asked for it, except one or two third wave feminists. The cast is diverse and politically correct (which means only women of all colors) and the humor is bad. To make it short: Unnecessary SJW propaganda.

This is how you ruin an already completed franchise after its closing movie. A clear example is this film.

I felt like it was loaded with political agenda, bad writing and bad humour. Not worth the time, money and effort. My other half, who is one of the biggest fans of Melissa McCarthy came to watch the film with me. Half way through the film she turned to me and said can we get our money back. After all the hype the film fell flat on its posterior. Expand

Why?

This kind of hot mess is the reason Bill Murray refused to do another sequel.

For the love of god just go watch a decent comedy like Kung Fu Hustle

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

Nothing more than a "Girls can do it too" movie. Hey guys: taking a popular franchise and re-gendering it isn't clever, it's pandering.

Improvisation can work in movies, the first Ironman was largely improvised and it's great, this movie is not.
If this movie had a real script written by someone with, well talent an all female Ghostbusters movie could have worked.

Interesting to see how critics review the movie. It shows me who is actually reviewing the movie objectively and who is blinded by a social agenda. The movie is just not good at all. It's terrible.

Simply not funny, not cool, not anything, just a waste of time. And I cannot believe I have just lost this time of my life watching it.
When compared to the original, it gets even worse, there is not anything that saves it.

Well. 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 likeWell. 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.

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.

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.

Marginally worse, if that’s possible, than the all-male re-boot of Steel Magnolias (Jack Black, Danny Trejo, Pee-Wee Herman, Rob Reiner, Simon Callow) which must logically be just around the corner.
