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.

The reboot wasn't really needed however I don't think it is as terrible as people seem to think. I think the dynamic between the characters is good and Chris Hemsworth as the assistant made me laugh a lot. The visual effects are obviously a massive upgrade to the originals as you'd expect. I would say my main issues would be the constant need to try and be funny is unnecessary and 90% of the time just doesn't land at all. The cameo's of the original cast are pointless and I particularly hated Bill Murray being used in the way he was. If you try and seperate it from the originals its okay but there is nothing I could say more positive than that really. Again I just feel like it just was a completely unnecessary film and I'm so glad its not cannon. Expand

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!

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.

Even the (small spoiler) old team will also be there, but not exactly the same. Of course, an excessive abundance of stupid jokes immediately catches the eye (I slipped on ectoplasm), but if you don’t pay attention to them, you get a completely interesting plot along with the original two parts. The new hunters themselves each have their own particular charm and evoke sympathy for them at different moments. Don't forget about the music, a song for the ages by Ray Parker Jr. of course there is. Expand

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.

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 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

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

I skipped seeing this gem in theaters because of all the bad hype about it, a decision I wholeheartedly regret!

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

First of all, I want to clear that I'm in favour of intelligent strong female lead characters, I love Alien and Aliens (Sigourney Weaver), the new Tomb Raider (Alicia Vikander), MCU and Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), Edge of Tomorrow (EmilyFirst of all, I want to clear that I'm in favour of intelligent strong female lead characters, I love Alien and Aliens (Sigourney Weaver), the new Tomb Raider (Alicia Vikander), MCU and Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), Edge of Tomorrow (Emily Blunt), Thor: Ragnarok (Cate Blanchett), just to name the firsts movies that comes to my mind, but this stupid SJW's new trend of trying to remake old classics, cult movies or just old movies with an all-female cast is unbearable, but the main point is not even about the all-female cast, the point is that they're traying to do it making real awful stupid movies, It's just that simple, if they do it with excellent stories and performances I support it, but this it's not the case at all (The same as Ocean's 8 and the new Star Wars movies, except Rogue One which I loved and validates my point), please, enough is enough.

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
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.

Yet another hollywood money grabbing reboot. If this was somehow unconnected to the ghostbusters brand I could mark this up as a 5/10 effects movie, with a couple of popcorn munching chuckle-worthy moments to be had for sure.

If this was somehow unconnected to the ghostbusters brand I could mark this up as a 5/10 effects movie, with a couple of popcorn munching chuckle-worthy moments to be had for sure. But Ghostbusters 2016 aint that. Unfortunately this film lacks the will to commit to the scientific and paranormal sensibilities that made the original films. Paul Feig sacrifices all the limited screenplays dramatic opportunities to instead produce what is ultimately a shamelessly simple comedy effects movie for a quick cash grab. Expand
