Well, with 5 days to go until Halloween, I want to tell you that weeks ago, I saw this movie on Netflix and switched it to another movie within 5 minutes of it started. It's surely the worst movie I have ever seen.
Unnecessary remake of "Ghostbusters" (1984), the plot is exactly the same and does not bring anything new or good. The original is a small classic that is already part of popular culture, true, it is not a great movie, but it is good enough to have fun and be remembered by several generations (not only to those who saw it in its premiere), his mythical song "Ghostbusters" had quality and everyone knows it. This remake is just a copy where the only difference is that the protagonists are female instead of male (as if that were a significant novelty that justified a remake). It's not entertaining, it's boring, the main actresses aren't funny (Bill Murray, Rick Moranis, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver possessed if they were funny), it doesn't have that black humor of the original, it has a childish humor based on falls, screams and farts. Chris Hemsworth doesn't hold a candle to Annie Potts, playing as a ditsy and bespectacled blond male secretary. Has been Thor in the MCU transformed into the male version of Rosemary, the Telephone Operator? (from the 1970's HB cartoon "Hong Kong Phooey"). The photography is bad, the special effects are bad, the dialogue is bad, the jokes are bad, the pacing is bad, the performances are bad, the plot is copied, the remake of the original song is gruesome. Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon don't even have previous acting experience, Melissa McCarthy is repellent, Kristen Wiig is the only bearable. No one should see it, so they would make movies again and stop producing and releasing cash copies.
PS: In my votes it only allows to put a 1, as very bad, but in reality it does not reach that score, I will have seen thousands of movies, but this one I put in the top 10 of mediocrity. So, how on Earth is this as high as a 6.5? Seems like Sony got some bots or shills to cover themselves.
