Review of Ghostbusters (2016) by Sebastian H — 31 Dec 2018

I am an avid lover of the original Ghostbusters franchise and was initially wary of this reboot. However, I was proved so very wrong from the first 10 minutes. Almost every line of this movie is snappy and funny. The movie's pace is just right and never gets boring. The cast is beyond stellar and I love the many homages to and cameos from the original movies - even the ghosts are similar!

What I most appreciate is that they didn't try to replicate the original movies but, instead, created a new story with fantastic, well fleshed-out and relatable characters. I must admit that Chris Hemsworth nearly stole every scene he was in! I loved the camaraderie and development of the characters, while I felt the storyline followed a similar direction to the original but with enough differences to know for sure that it is its own movie. It is not a clone with gender-based changes but an addition to the fantastic franchise that Ghostbusters is.

I adore this movie and I'm hoping for a sequel!
