Ghostbusters Reviews

Being that this is how the Ghostbusters Franchise got started, this movie certainly accomplished something big in creating a fan base. A great movie to watch on halloween. It's a great movie in general. It has its crazy scary parts, but there is definitely some good humor as well. Great humor coming especially from Bill Murray. If you're a ghostbusters fan, I don;t know why you wouldn't see this. and if you're a fan of Bill Murray, you'll also like this.

This quirky, cleverly scripted spookfest is such an entertaining ride, featuring great special effects that include a scene-stealing Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. It's grounded by top-notch performances from Bill Murray (replacing John Belushi), Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson as the titular poltergeist-hunting team, with an excellent, charming contribution from Sigourney Weaver as well as a fun turn from Rick Moranis. (Annie Potts as the Ghostbusters' secretary and William Atherton as their adversary from the EPA are also well-worth mentioning.)

An instant classic.

Ghostbusters is a catchy, entertaining combination of humour and visual effects, with an ensemble of unforgettable hysterical performances.

a delightfully sarcastic treatment of an oddball premise makes for a hilarious slice of the finest in comedic cheese, each of the leads excel though it's murray's deadpan that steals the show, indispensable entertainment

Hilarious movie that I love to watch

One of the comedy's of all time. Ghostbusters is a hilarious comedy with great story telling, A+ actors, and wonderful special effects.

A fun-filled comedic adventure that's a true defining film of it's decade. Ghostbusters' combustion of laughter, special effects and a tactical cast makes it enjoyable and entertaining for all audiences. 4/5

Fantastic satire of common perceptions of the paranormal. A symbiotic blend of action, horror and comedy, this film holds equal appeal for both young and adult audiences, spawning a franchise in its wake.

The premise of "Ghostbusters" is a rather silly one, a true product of the 80's, and anyone who hasn't seen it since a child - and thus only remembers Ray Parker Jr's theme song and the giant StayPuft marshmallow man - could be forgiven for thinking this film is outdated and irrelevant.

However, watching it again, various factors make you realize how awesome it is. The scripted jokes, written by Dan Aykroyd, are fun, but it's the deadpan delivery (and occasional ad-lib) by comedic legend Bill Murray which truly makes this film. Murray and Aykroyd lead the whos who of the 80's cast which also includes Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson and Rick Moranis, all of whom lift this film.

If you need a classic cinema comedy, who else are you gonna call?

A pop culture landmark that should be required to be shown in schools worldwide.

Weird and very original film. Quite smart in a mad way too. It's funny and scary for younger ones. The effects was probably great - it was oscar nominated for best visual effects - now they are just making the film extra funny. Bill Murray is stealing the show here. He is likean early dated Chandler Bing - witty and bone dry.

It follows the standard recipe of action flicks with love, heroes and overwhelming top points. The supercool soundtrack gives it higher rating and so does some one-liners. I loved the exorcist parody, that also raised the film for me. Great script - the dialogues are clever and funny. A film that's never boring, but I never felt out my seat either. Iwas entertained but it was not a constant laughter fest in an way.

So, a very creative film that follows standard prosigures and cliches. Definitely one of the better silly, action, sci-fies out there.

7 out of 10 people you shold call.

One of the 1980's epitome's of movie goodness.

An undeniable masterpiece of comedy. Combining smart, quick humor from the dialogue and actors like Bill Murrray and Rick Moranis with surreal, cartoonish humor with the eye-popping special effects.

one of the funniest ever of the 80's!

A very funny film with great special effects!

Awesome, nothing less. Ghostbusters is a very funny and creative film that easily symbolizes cinema in the 80s. The cast has great chemistry and is very funny to watch. The story is very creative and dare I say has a very original concept. From start to end this was a great ride that portrayed every emotion perfectly. Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis, and Hudson are perfect guides for a truly exceptional universe that is all around greatness.

A total classic and with good reason. MVP Bill Murray. Full review later.

There are a lot of reasons to love the 80's and this is one of them. After seeing it now for the umpteenth time, it's still as ingeniously funny as ever. Some of the special effects may look a little dated compared to what we're spoiled with today, but it doesn't really matter as it's all conceived in such tongue-in-cheek fun. If you for one reason or another haven't seen it yet, make sure you do, because this movie is a total blast and the perfect marriage between sci-fi and high-concept comedy.

"We came. We saw. We kicked its ass."

Like how the hell can you not like this?

Sometimes a bit lazy, but who can dislike the bad (but hilarious) CG effects, the catchy theme song, and of course Stay Puft?
