Ghostbusters is one of those rare movies where the original, fragile comic vision has survived a multimillion-dollar production.

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.
