An unexpected return to our roots
This movie is finally worthy of the old Ghostbusters movies after a movie that ruined the Ghostbuster image, the story changes, we find old but also new ghosts. There are big plot twists and the characters' backstories are new and fresh for our times. Even if nostalgia plays a part, we get the same impression as in the first films, and rediscover the story of Ghostbusters from a different angle.
It's worth your $$, even if you didn't saw the first movies, everything is made to be understand to anyone even if nostalgia hit a lot. The humor is also for any ages and the childs characters are really interesting ones. - luismcdbrito - 9 April 2024
Thrillering irony
The long waited return of The Ghostbusters.
This one is even difficult to start: Too many clichés transform a promissing comedy into a goofiness irony, with the transportation of the past to exaust the present.
There is an attempt to make it an adventure: we even have a treasure map, american kids going up the hills to do kids stuff, kids telling stories that resemble adventures, a grown up that through excess excitement looks like an adventurer... then everything excapes into an exageration that leads to excess of thrill, the adventure was lost.
There is no charisma on this characters, no iconic soundtrack. Instead we have special effects. No update on technological advancents wich make the Sci-fi weard.
Conclusion: barely entertaining to the ones who lived the original; saved in the last scene with the old fashioned humor back.
It was directed to the new generation that didn't saw the origin of this legend.
A fail. A slapstick.
