Entertaining, but starting to get a little dated

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 1999)

When Ghostbusters first came out I thought it was one of the best films ever. In the year 1984 I was just old enough to begin to appreciate films, I was about 8 at the time. Compared to the special effects they can pull off today, the FX in Ghostbusters appear to be a little dated. But the story is still there and as vivid as ever. The cast in Ghostbusters is one of the best ensemble casts I have seen, there was so much great comic talent. The story is original, and the chosen destructor at the films end was the best so called villain I have ever seen. Although in visual effects the film may have dwindled, its essence is still very much there, which still makes it one of the most entertaining films released in the last quarter century.
