Ghostbusters was pretty cool when I was 5-10 years old, but as an adult it is lame as hell. I can't believe that anyone wants to play a game based on a comedy from the 80s...

That being said, Wii games are constantly made with cartoony graphics whether you want to admit it or claim that you like it better than realistic graphics. Personally, it is nice to see improvements in every part of a game, including graphics, otherwise you are playing the same old crap over and over forever.

It's not just "a comedy from the 80's."  It's the most successful comedy of the entire decade.  And it didn't earn that title by just being for kids.  The movie is funny for all ages, and is still funny today.  I probably watch it once a year, but I should watch it more.  Good writing doesn't go bad.

Oh, I see... you think old movies suck and old graphics suck, and old everything sucks.  Well, enjoy all your new stuff.

LMAO, most successful comedy of the decade? Are you kidding me? Where exactly did you come up with that BS. And I happen to like a lot of older stuff, like movies, but I happen to have good taste and like good movies...

I'll answer your questions in order: Yes, no, it's not BS.

In 1984 it was in the #1 spot for 5 weeks  Then Purple Rain dethroned it, but only for one week.  Then Ghostbusters was back at the top spot.  It was the 2nd most successful film of 1984, only behind Beverly Hills Cop.  Then it was re-released in 1985 and made way more money, so yes, it was the most successful comedy of the 1980's.

And regarding critical accalim... it has a 93% fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

Also,

In 2000, readers of Total Film magazine voted Ghostbusters the 44th greatest comedy film of all time.  The American Film Institute ranked it 28th in its list of the top 100 comedies of all time (in their "AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs" list).  In 2005, IGN voted Ghostbusters the greatest comedy ever.  In 2006, Bravo ranked Ghostbusters 76 on their "100 Funniest Movies" list.  Entertainment Weekly ranked it as the Funniest Movie of the Past 25 Years.

 

So for you to say that Ghostbusters is not a good movie, and still claim that you have "good taste" while saying that... actually makes it unable for me to tell you how I feel without getting banned.  Good day sir.
