Ghostbusters Reviews
"Ghostbusters" is a very funny movie until it gets a bit bogged down in its gaudy special effects.
More than 40 years on from becoming the first big-budget comedy, Ghostbusters continues to sparkle because it remains funny and its premise still works.
Ghostbusters, for all its wonderful silliness, is an artifact that helps us understand its time, as well as ours.
[P]art of the movie’s success lies in the terrific casting of Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and particularly, Bill Murray in his hilariously deadpan best as Peter Venkman.
Ivan Reitman’s enjoyably silly (and occasionally genuinely scary) supernatural blockbuster about a team of amateurish ectoplasmic exorcists rescuing New York from a plague of ghouls was the most expensive comedy of its time.
A part of me was for this film because I had enjoyed the cartoon series so much. This movie on its own is just "ok".
This has a long legacy in cinema that is worth considering but I surprisingly didn't enjoy rewatching this. I found myself shrugging my shoulders a lot and being bothered by Winston's character arc or lack thereof.
Ghostbusters galvanized the comedy genre as a ferociously funny fable with state-of-the-art special effects and scares to spare.
It aims to please and makes certain we are all having a good time.
While Ghostbusters II failed to have the same effect on me, it will take nothing away from the greatness of this film and is one of my personal top 10 films of all time. Ghostbusters is the definition of a classic.
Ghostbusters is one of the greatest comedy films of all time!
I also really appreciate that Aykroyd and Ramis' script is so tightly structured but joke dense. There is practically no wasted time in this film.
It's the thrills of wraith-combating, action-packed citywide devastation, and carefree attitudes that highlight the adventures and give the film a strong sense of originality.
It is not intended to change anyone's life, just invite you to follow a fun and crazy group. [Full Review in Spanish]
Partly because of the cast, partly because of the effects, partly because of Elmer Bernstein's score, and partly because of [Ivan] Reitman's directing style, it all just worked -- and it still does
Despite the flaws I've dwelled on here, I feel real affection for "Ghostbusters." How could you not? It's goofy, funny, homey -- it's genuine comfort food.
...an erratic yet consistently entertaining summer blockbuster...
Ghostbusters is like romping through Disneyland's haunted house with Bill Murray.
Ghostbusters is primarily a showcase for Murray, who slinks through the movie muttering his lines in his usual cheeky fashion and getting off an occasionally hilarious crack that proves he's thoroughly enjoying himself.
The plotting may be primitive, but it's all carried off with far more style and finesse than one might expect from the creators of Animal House and Meatballs.
