Just got back from seeing this. As someone who watched the cartoons when I was younger and have seen the first two Ghostbusters films but have no real emotional attachment to them, this was fine. Not mindblowing or laugh-a-minute, but enjoyable.

This tirade against it is one of the most interesting things I've seen in quite some time.

Yeah, the people who have actually *seen* the damn movie realize it's OK. 

If this is 2/10, then sure as fuck 90% of the movies released the summer should be 1/10 or 0.5/10. There's no fucking way you can spin this as worse than Indepedence Day or as dull as Tarzan or worse than WarCraft or shitty as Alice Through the Looking Glass. 

The cast of the film is one of the strong points actually, the script is not that well done, that's where the main issues arise from. The new characters are all likable enough and work well together and it isn't a "girl power!" movie it's a "these three scientists are fascinated by the paranormal and another one joins the team" movie. It's quite respectful of the Ghostbusters mythos even though it is a reboot too, fans of the movies/TV shows will pick up on tons of nods to the original movie and even one big one from the cartoon series. 

The Cinema Score for the movie, which is people who have SEEN the movie and haven't gotten into the stupid pissing match of politics rated it A- for Under 25 year olds and B+ as a whole. There's no way this is a 2/10 movie across the board. 

It's a better and truer Ghostbusters film than any of the Star Wars prequels were to Star Wars. It's Ghostbusters II quality, if you could live with that, you should probably find enough to enjoy here. Like I said before the 3D is spectacular too, best use of 3D I've ever seen, the ghosts come right out of the screen. 

If the movie is actually good, I'll have to admit I was wrong. I thought it would be horrible.

 

 

To be fair, the trailers were horrible. I could care less if they made it all women. I'm probably gonna watch this soon, just to see if the movie is as bad as people truly make it.

 

Then again, I enjoyed TMNT 2(well, the parts without megan fox. Worst actor I've ever seen). Guess it doesn't take much to please me.
