Remains just as amusing and hilarious after 32 years

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2016)

After 32 years, "Ghostbusters" remains just as amusing and hilarious as when it first hit cinemas, full of gut-busting dialogue and many memorable scenes.
Like most great comedies, "Ghostbusters" relies on the interactions and conversations between its characters, but leaves enough headroom for some great visuals that play along with the gags.
The rest of the film reveals something greatly lacking in many modern comedies: smart dialogue, full of quips, cynicism, sarcasm, and all-around zaniness that feels spontaneous rather than scripted. We don't gather a sense of jumping from one pratfall to the next or from one comedic situation to another. There's a terrific flow in the narrative where each quirky one-liner and special effects-driven prank naturally leads to other, sometimes bigger, laughs.
I can't think of another comedy that smoothly transitions from a laser-tag show against a demigod to a battle with a Godzilla-like marshmallow giant without missing a beat.
Demonstrating that big-budget special effects can mesh well with laugh-out-loud comedy, the film also enjoys being one of the most successful comedy franchises ever made and continues to convert a new generation of fans with each viewing.
