Review of Ghostbusters (2016) by The12Black — 15 Jul 2016
Ugh.
Ghostbusters (1984) was a light-hearted sci-fi picture featuring the right balance of comedy, action, creep and drama. The iteraction between the original cast and the ambiance of the film set by the music and pacing was masterful.
Sadly, Ghostbusters (2016) has none of these things. The cast has no cohesion, the special effects are out of control, and the film feels souless and ill conceived. Most of the performances (from actors who have proved their worth in other films) are hollow and without connection.
Save your friday night for another film. This one is a rent or wait-for-HBO.
