The acting & dialogue were underwhelming, but the movie gets better as it goes along. The plot twists were interesting & the ending surprising.

lots of slime, lots of fun
16 July 2016
The Ghostbusters reboot was exactly the kind of lighthearted fun I want in a summer flick. I really enjoyed it and have seen a number of posts on Facebook from friends both male and female who saw it and really liked it, too. There were so many laugh out loud funny moments. The "meta" moments were really fun, too, such as the nods to the original Ghostbusters and some of the jabs taken at, shall we say, the haters. I want to watch the original again so I can re-watch the reboot and see what I might have missed the first time around. I also particularly enjoyed Kate McKinnon and her deadpan deliveries. The closing credits were also a lot of fun. Make sure you stick around for the added scene that comes after the credits!

probably the worst movie I've ever seen
22 September 2013
I'm not going to put a whole lot of effort into explaining why this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I should have been tipped off by the fact that the outside of the DVD had no positive reviews. I will say that Coppola is far too good to put out a piece of crap like this. Any college kid in a film class could've come up with a better script. This film was too cheesy to be a legit horror film. There was also nothing psychologically thrilling about it. From the delivery of the opening lines, I knew it was going to be bad. The plot was at many times nonsensical, but not in a stylized stream-of-consciousness way, just in a way that shows twists were added for their own sake and for no other reason. The ending, is a prime example. The dream sequences were goofy. The attempts at comic relief (Hall doing vocal impressions to help him write) were dumb and out of place. The scenes involving this daughter that were supposed to be sad weren't. The goth kids were silly stereotypes, and by the way, if there were goth kids in the 1960s, they didn't dress that way. And it felt like the film was written to capitalize on the recent popularity of vampires in pop culture.
