A movie with no emotional core, no character arcs or growth. No one learns anything. It’s not saying anything. It shouldn’t work but somehow it’s perfect. No one has been able to replicate it and they should stop trying.

Ghostbusters more than any other film highlights the growing devaluation of public-sector jobs at the hands of privatized for-profit entities operating for mercenary reasons. The protagonists of this movie spend their time removing unwanted, unpaying residents from spaces…

Who you gonna call?!
Kenzie Whiting is "meh" onGhostbustersi think the main reason why i don’t personally love the movie was because a lot of the sexist & misogynistic jokes & story arcs within the movie. the actual story & effects in the movie were okay but it felt very icky at times watching because of what was being said to women.
Sabrina Bondi lovedGhostbustersOn balance, Ghostbusters is a hoot. It's Murray's picture, and in a triumph of mind over matter, he blows away the film's boring special effects with his one-liners.

I forgot how much of a dirty comedy this actually was. The casting was unbeatable. Everyone brought something different to the table, whether it be Bill Murrays one-liners, Sigourney Weavers embodiment, or Rick Moranis with his awkwardness. Aside from the costume design and destruction, the…
Matt likedGhostbustersWithout a doubt one of the best feel good comedies ever. A great cast all deliver here and theirs so many funny lines and scenes that it makes great fun for all the family. It’s fast paced, got an iconic soundtrack and great characters. If you want fun this is one for you
Riles189 is "meh" onGhostbustersI HATED that I didn’t absolutely love this movie bc I was so looking forward to it. Some things I liked and some things I didn’t, but overall I had a hard time keeping interest. Maybe I’ll give it another shot next October

Il Pigliasogni likedGhostbustersIl Pigliasogni racconta che... Un grande classico che si fa ricordare più per le canzoni e i design di alcuni fantasmi che ad altro. Ghostbuster è un ottimo passatempo, che tuttavia fatica un po' ad intrattenere i più giovani a causa del linguaggio aulico utilizzato. Voto: 7
Platypus Lord is "meh" onGhostbustersI swear I don't go in wanting to not enjoy these modern "classics." Don't get me wrong, it has it's moments, no doubt, but it is just too silly for my tastes. There's no character development or beating heart at the center, and it has major foreshadowing issues.

TMTeri MarkelStill Hilarious after All these years!! tremendous cast & really fun effects !! I laughed SO much & can’t wait for the new one !!
RRRoger RogerIt was great to have a chance to see this with my son. I saw the original in the theatre when I was just a bit younger than he is now. My only complaint is that the image is obviously stretched or modified to accommodate the screen dimensions, or something similar was done.…

Metacritic
Ghostbusters is one of those rare movies where the original, fragile comic vision has survived a multimillion-dollar production.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
However good an idea it may have been to unleash Mr. Murray in an ''Exorcist''-like setting, this film hasn't gotten very far past the idea stage. Its jokes, characters and story line are as wispy as the ghosts themselves, and a good deal less substantial.
Janet Maslin
