Review of Ghostbusters (1984) by Stefan G — 31 Oct 2014
This is a great film for many different reasons, but the biggest one is that it's just so damned fun the whole way through. The story is very straightforward, and is mostly driven by the characters, who are all very well played and are a joy to watch.
The film benefits from a solid script that doesn't disappoint, and the performances are always stellar, thanks to the zany humour that's ubiquitous in the film's script. The special effects have held up extremely well, and the film itself is amazing to look at with its eye-popping action scenes and comic twists.
What's really more important, however, is the humour, which works on plenty of levels because the film seems to know how to engage you with the engage you with the characters. In my opinion, this is a film that has aged incredibly well over the past thirty years, and it can certainly endure another thirty because of its instant appeal, great special effects, and great characters.
