When There's Something Strange, In The Neighborhood, Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters!

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2013)

Ghostbusters is one of the great interactive movie experiences. It does a great job in calling and letting for viewer participation. Ghostbusters communicates comedic intelligence as it plays to your personal intellect. It has a great nerd factor. The ghost hunting scientists speaking their brainy paranormal jargon with their high-tech ghost trapping equipment coming to the rescue to damsels in distress who've seen a ghost, is every nerd's dream, or something close like that. Ghostbusters does a terrific job melding a ghost haunting story into a competent comedy. It does a terrific job in having "real life" comedic humor; the humor's very authentic feeling. Ghostbusters does a fabulous job at framing and rating the ghost scenes; they're presented very well. The ghost scenes are satisfactorily approving so allowing the lot of the time for great, slapsticky, goofy dialogue. Bill Murray is nothing too short of great as Dr. Peter Venkman. Dan Akroyd is marvelous as Dr. Ray. Harold Ramis is very well as Dr. Egon. Ernie Hudson is well-cast as Winston, just like the rest of the Ghostbusters. "That's a big twinkie." Sigourney Weaver makes the movie so great as Dana Barrett, the Gate Keeper, as Weaver's wonderful in one of her most memorable parts. I'm a big nerd for Sigourney. The Key Master, Rick Moranis, is kind of the funniest part. Moranis is really good. I really love his kind, silly character. Gozer is a good enough enemy for Ghostbusters but Gozer is tremendously overshadowed by the doglike creatures, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Slimer, especially Slimer. The old lady spirit reading quietly in the library at the beginning's one of the great movie introduction scenes; it's just really fun, and really scary. Ghostbusters is a great overall family film. It has great music and great sound effects. The Ghostbuster's theme song is forever memorable. Ghostbusters is nothing short of a smash hit, a great film to enjoy with family and friends. I must point out Ghostbusters is not some kiddie movie; it's a great success.
