I never understood all the hate behind it. It's a different style of comedy as you don't have Murray's and Akroyds humour, but I'm sure that would have failed as the actresses would have had to imitate them. The director has gone with what works with this cast and it seems to do the job.

The CG never looked bad so I don't get those complaints either.

I'm a huge GB fan. Own the movies on DVD and BR and I make I watch them every year. I even bought the PS3 game at launch and watched the cartoons growing up. In my opinion, we need to watch this film the same way we watched the original, with an open mind and not so seriously.

A great post.

Refreshing to see someone open minded. It's so cool nowadays to be negative without even having seen the film/played the game/owned the product/etc.


You might end up not liking the new Ghostbusters and that's ok. But at least you stayed open minded when it got positive reviews.

I enjoyed the Heat, Spy and Bridesmaides. I know it's simple comedy and the films aren't clever, but they are light hearted and fun. This Ghostbusters film seems to be similar and I don't mind that. 

 

The original Ghostbusters wasn't a clever film, the humour was typical Bill and Dan humour and the ghosts fx weren't all that serious even then. Some were cartoony and some were more real. There is nothing wrong with Dan and Bills humour and it fits them prefectly as it comes naturally to them. 

 

I don't want Ghostbusters to be serious, or gritty, or filled with actors trying to replicate what the old cast did. I want it to be fun, light hearted, entertaining and full of ghost busting.
