Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Stormsworder2 This movie started out with a big problem. It has to live up to being a follow-up to one of the great iconic movies of the 1980s. But that shouldn't have stopped it being a good film in its own right. It has a decent cast, nice-looking CGI effects and even cameos from several of the original's cast. But then it ran into a problem so many re-boots and re-makes run into. It is being made by people who have no idea what made the original so great and who see it more as a quick buck rather than a chance to re-imagine an old franchise. Though it entertains, it's a lot better than most of the recent Hollywood re-boots and there's the odd moment of genuine humour, it's still just a typical cash-cow. Compared to the complex personalities of the original team, the four new Ghostbusters are all one-note characters (one of them seems to think "eccentric" means simply staring boggle-eyed through comedy-nerd glasses). Just about everyone else in the movie is there simply to be irritating. Most of the humour is just low-brow, and the horror is uninteresting. There are no images that come close to rivalling the memorable designs of the original two films, and you come away feeling nothing for the characters. Worth a look as a curio for fans of these kinds of movies, and the cast do the best with the spartan material they're given, but it's hardly the kind of thing for repeated viewings.

cmcelraft Ok, so it's not the original movie that won our hearts in 1984. However, it didn't ruin my childhood either. Kate McKinnon's pseudo Egon character is Ober the top strange and annoying, but watching her on SNL, makes me believe that she is naturally strange and unfocused. Leslie Jones, steals the movie! I really like her character and her persona in general. Ghostbusters: Answer The Call, is not for diehard fans, it's not a great reboot either. It's a movie that you need to watch with the idea that it's just a fun movie about a group of ladies who are trying to capture ghosts. Don't over expect! The end credit scene seems to set up for a sequel, but I think there is too much hate for this one.

priceturner I'm putting all controversy aside for this film, because I'm one of the very few who was excited from the trailer. I mean the film has a great cast, a capable director, and it's the Ghostbusters what could be wrong? Well let's do this, first off the film is needlessly a reboot. With so many movie sequels coming out years and years after the original, Ghostbusters has an opportunity to do a continuation but instead decided to reboot a movie that didn't deserve a reboot, and nothing will ever be that first film from 1984, so the least you could do was give an entertaining follow up, but no remake it. I wouldn't mind that much if the plot and story left something to be desired but it's actually a very standard story which doesn't make for an interesting take, it basically Re-tells the original with a female cast and setting it in modern day. Speaking of which the cast, I actually love this cast Kate McKinnon and Chris Hemsworth give great performances and are definitely the heart of the movie, they are the only two that feel like their own characters. While I love Mcarthy, Jones, and Wiig who are all hilarious women and great actresses, there characters are not memorable and they aren't really given anything funny to say. It feels like Feig and the cast were told to play it safe and that's evident from the writing, effects, and awkward cameos. Finally last but not least, I personally always saw Ghostbusters as an interchangeable team, one that could have many different people with different genders or race or whatever, and an all female cast is not bad, but that shouldn't be a The whole point of a film. (especially Ghostbusters) This is a film that feels like it could've been so much more, but instead is a forgettable yet innocent feature that just needs more creativity and comedy that made the franchise work in the first place.

kjmakin-01285 You know in the original Ghostbusters when Bill Murray mentions cats and dogs living together...I feel it's happened with this. Just a brief intro before I'm accused of being a misogynistic old man; I'm a chick. A chick who happens to love the originals. This movie has just brutally murdered the source material. The subtle, dry and dark humour of Ramis and Ackroyd and the ad-libbing from Murray was what made those movies. This movie is just mind-numbingly terrible. Not one 'gag' managed to raise so much as a smile. The plot is dumb, the actors are dumb and don't get me started on the casual racism of using a black chick as the unintelligent, but street smart sidekick. I hated everything about this film with the exception of two things; Chris Hemsworth and the fact that it's a bunch of ladies who save the day. Other than that, it was terrible. Avoid.
