Review of Ghostbusters (2016) by John B — 06 Aug 2018
It wasn?t actually as terrible as some would have you believe. As a stand-alone movie, it?s average at best. As a re-imagining of the original it?s also average at best. Let me be clear this is not a sexism issue, if the replacement cast were all men, it would would?ve been just as poor.
To be fair to the female cast they didn?t do a bad job and they were all pretty good in their roles. The main issue was the script was poor. The only really amusing thing was having the hunky male secretary who had the brains of a housefly.
The problem is you?re going up against an absolute classic 80?s comedy that is loved by millions! Could you a imagine a re-imagining of Back to the Future or Planes, Trains and Automobiles? It just wouldn?t work, cause the originals are so good, it?s impossible to compete.
