Ghostbusters

Some people have those favourite films as a child, something they sat, watching in front of the TV while playing with their Rubik's Cube or eating their Gummi Bears. Precious memories are made of such things. This is not one of mine. Yes, it has a great theme tune, and okay, the special effect were revolutionary for the time. But another viewing confirmed what I thought back when I was a wee sprog: The plot is a mess... Amongst other such nonsense, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis turn into giant dog statues, and this is supposed to bring about the apocalypse. I thought as a young 'un I could write a better screenplay... And I still do. It also tries too hard to be amusing, with only Bill Murray's deadpan delivery providing a few chuckles... Everything else is just desperate banter. Other 'highlights', like the giant Stay Puft marshmallow guy going on a rampage, are just gimmicks designed to distract us from the lacklustre action. If only more people would take off their rose-tinted glasses, they'd be able to see this for what it really is: An average time-waster. It could be worse, though. It could be... the sequel *shiver* 5/10

One of the best films that I really enjoyed watching is not like Ghostbusters 2016, which I do not recommend watching a finalist. The comedies in the film were funny. The characters of the film were entertaining. The film still met Sights until today I highly recommend watching it

Although I personally did not really like the end of the movie, and some special effects were a bit bad; I found the film simply wonderful, very funny, with good characters, good actors and a great soundtrack that we know. One of those movies that marked the childhood of all the children of the 80's and that everyone should see at least once. Highly recommend.

Many comedies age poorly, but I thought that this one has held up pretty well. Lots of special effects (which have also held up pretty well) but the comedy does not get lost in them. Murray does his absurd deadpan, Ramis his low-key deadpan, and Ackroyd his high-energy weirdness. Sigourney Weaver proves that she has comedic chops. Still pretty good, not great.

Very rarely can you pull off a successful blend of two separate movie genres,but the makers of Ghostbusters were overwhelmingly so.On the one hand,you have the comedic charm of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd,and on the other,a genuine ghostly spookiness that makes you want to hide under a blanket.I recently bought a copy and watched it for the first time in several years,and it's still just as fresh as it was in it's initial release in 1984.It has a great supporting cast for Murray and Aykroyd,including the always great Sigourney Weaver,Rick Moranis,Ernie Hudson,and Harold Ramis,who is just as talented behind the camera as he is in front of it.Watch it with your family,but keep an eye on younger children,as the spookiness may be more than they can handle. Great stuff.

"We came, we saw, we kicked its ass!" Love that line, such a fun experience and feel good. A monumental masterpiece like Star Wars and Star Trek, nerds/geeks are amazing. Bill Murray is legendary, along with the other remarkable cast, and the soundtrack is one of the greatest things ever! I very much crave the science aspects and many jokes throughout! Ivan Reitman is one of the most remarkable directors, I need to own several of his films.

There aren't many movies better than Ghostbusters. This film expertly balances itself right between the horror genre and the comedy genre. The chemistry of the main three characters is undeniable, and when you throw in interesting side characters (such as Rick Moranis as Louis Tully), every scene is a delight to watch. The story is original, the effects are impressive and the jokes are funny - in short, Ghostbusters is a timeless classic.
