It brings the modern changes and updates that come with making this kind of movie in 2016 and not 1984, which equates to a high level of flashy CGI and blockbuster-level action compared to the saucy and subtle original.

See this film for Ghostbuster laughs and a new era of Ghostbusters

| Aug 7, 2023

Ghostbusters offered a fresh and fun spin on the classic testosterone-fueled comedy and featured Chris Hemsworth as a dim-witted himbo, delightful cameos by cast members from the original movie, and a wonderful breakout performance by Kate McKinnon.

Instead of doing something memorable with the great chemistry we see from the cast, “Ghostbusters” settles for being another in a long line of mediocre 80’s movie remakes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 21, 2022

The secondhandedness of everything onscreen spoils any possibility of Ghostbusters succeeding on the merits of the talent involved.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 11, 2022

While I dont feel Ghostbusters 2016 will have the staying power Ghostbusters 1984 had, it does what it intended to do. Its an entertaining film that respected its predecessor.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2022

Whether on its own fearless terms or as an update of a zeitgeist-charged smash, here's a pop-culture popcorn picture designed to raise spirits in more ways than one.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Nostalgia weighs heavily on director Paul Feig's reboot of 'Ghostbusters,' but the film's talented cast - particularly Kate McKinnon - and clever writing prove more than capable of shouldering the burden.

Like the old Abbott and Costello horror comedies, Ghostbusters doesn't have any real scares but it will make you laugh.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 4, 2021

[T]he comedy still lands solidly and the leading actresses pull off their roles with perfect ease that make this remake enjoyable summer movie fun.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 3, 2021

Ghostbusters is fun, it's silly, and it doesn't take itself too seriously.

| Feb 11, 2021

Ghostbusters isn't as tight as the original but it does have flourishes of real subversive comedy. The cast and filmmakers really play with audience expectations but unfortunately they do not fully realize the potential of what they can do.

| Dec 23, 2020

Nothing about this production is particularly thrilling or funny; it's crushingly uninspired and very, very slow.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Dec 4, 2020

While Ghostbusters may not quite achieve comedy classic status, rest assured that it's a mighty fine film.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 8, 2020

The gender swapping is - for the most part - one of its strengths. It's when we examine everything else that things start to unravel.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 13, 2020

Not every joke hits, and there are puzzling leaps in narrative logic, but despite the issues, this is a goofy blast.

| Original Score: B | Jul 3, 2020

Ghostbusters is a genuinely entertaining film ... quite funny, actually spooky at times and even fun and exciting

| Jun 30, 2020

It just wasn't very fresh.

| May 4, 2020

It just didn't click for me.

| May 4, 2020

For everything that doesn't work, there's so much more that does. These Ghostbusters are solid, and this film effectively riffs on the original and creates its own thing.
