Back off man...

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2000)

Need I say the rest? This movie is my No. 1 movie. I grew up with these guys and I still have all the memorabilia from it (and still constantly adding to my collection). I love it for the amazing dialogue (a load of vocabulary in this movie). The plot is suprisingly realistic. It's told in such a way that you believe this could actually happen. The cast...well, need I say more? Everyone was purely perfect in their roles. I also love the timeless look of the movie. Watching it now you will have no problem believing that these events could be occuring at this second because the clothing, dialogue, etc. are not dated, as is the fate of many "classics". The special effects seem outdated now, but it doesn't take away from the movie at all. Because even in a movie where special efects are abound....the special effects do not propel the story. Because of the amazingly structured script, they could have used sock puppets instead of animated ghosts and get the same effect. Even the sequel...though not quite as compact, is a delightful addition to the Ghostbusters family. There is news about Ghostbusters 3. While I will greet it with open arms, I can't help to think it shouldn't be made. Because there hasn't been one for so long...even if its utter poppycock, I'll love it just for the effort. However, after so long it could never hope to light a candle what came before. I bought the DVD to Ghostbusters and it literally took me 2 days of viewing to weed through all the material. UNBELIEVEABLE. I loved every tidbit on it and even learned a few things that *gasp* I didn't know before. (I recommend the DVD to any Ghost-head or any person who wants to remember the glory days of 80's blockbusters! It is decadence to the highest power!
