I felt this rendition of "Ghostbusters" was unique at first: the story was pretty interesting with the use of an all-female main cast and pretty stellar visual effects. But then again, there were plenty of downsides: some of the jokes were not too funny, in the sense that they dragged along (especially regarding Kristen Wiig), the concept of an all-female main cast might pander to SJW's and feminists (sorry, but not sorry), and that Chris Hemsworth's portrayal of a retarded loser as the secretary was really cringing and despicable.

This female version of "Ghostbusters" might be considered okay in its own right, but will not stand up to the clever, humorous standards of the 1984 original that we all loved.
