[QUOTE="Seaviewer, post: 415189, member: 57"] Ghostbusters (2016) I don't care what anyone says, I like this. It's not strictly a remake, although there are obvious parallels; mostly they just take the concept and run with it I like the vibe of it; the banter, especially between Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy; the spaced-out performance of Kate McKinnon; and the way Leslie Jones's character seamlessly becomes the fourth wheel almost without the others realising. The cameos by the original cast are well done but not really necessary. The one thing I could do with less of is Chris Hemsworth who seems to be a combination of the Annie Potts, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis characters from the first film. I think it might have been better to have had a Rick Moranis type as the dopey receptionist, and let Hemsworth play to his type as a hunky guy Wiig can crush on without any workplace harassment issues. I can understand how the Ghostbuster aficionados (of which I am not one), after waiting years for Ghostbusters 3, were disappointed to get this instead (and a degree of mysogony cannot be ruled out either), but viewed as a standalone film - or even as an alternate dimension story within the franchise - I find it very entertaining.
