EssenceStory Well Deserved Praise
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
dcbeauchesne I grew up on the original Ghostbusters and I was in the same bucket of "stop with my childhood movie remakes" and "stop the gender swapping". I have finally whatched Ghostbusters and it was a pleasant surprise! I enjoyed every moment. I'm sure my son would like this version over the original. There was still a lot of throw backs to keep me happy without recycling a play by play of the original. The special effects were better and not over used and the costumes looked more authentic. I really don't know why his has bad reviews other than a lot of people didn't give it a chance and had their opinion before watching it.
japearson-55450 When I heard they were making a female ghostbusters reboot, I had high expectations. This movie isn't anything amazing, but it's certainly progression.I feel like for it to have succeeded, it'd had to be perfect in every way. Whether this is because it's an all female cast or because of its predecessors I do not know, although I feel it may be both. Although not breathtaking, this movie did its job by providing the humour and good cast that I expected. The jokes are funny, albeit sometimes cheesy and the male receptionsit really delivers the best lines. I also love how self aware this movie is, the franchise itself is known for being over the top and they have really embraced it here.Plot wise, it's sweet and simple. A Physics professor named Erin attempts to remove her previous works on the supernatural from the public eye to avoid embarrassment. On the other hand, her old collegue Abby and her assistant Jillian are still using these works as the basis for their study at a seperate university.Erin attempts to persuade Abby to stop promoting their work, but instead gets roped back into the research project. They begin to investigate new areas and befriend their fourth member, Patty along the way. From here onwards, the plot revolves around two things... the capture and proof of the supernatural and attempting to discover whom is responsible for the sudden spike in paranormal activity, whilst the government attempt to cover up all evidence to prevent public outcry. Of course, the person responsible for the increase in ghosts is intent on using them for destruction and must be taken down, even if it means wiping out all the collected evidence of the ghosts existence. I highly reccomend a watch if your looking for a bit of fun that all ages can enjoy, just don't expect an Oscar worthy plot and you won't be disappointed.
ster-08950 It comes down to 2 things.If you like syfy, action, and original ghostbusters this movie writing is horrible. Don't watch.If you never seen original or dislike it, and or don't watch action or syfy much then you'll probably love this movie. Be prepared to laugh and enough
tishacartersmith I really did, but the story didn't flow logically. And the characters choice didn't match their intelligence. The best parts of the film were the cameos of the original stars.
