ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!! A MASSIVE PART OF MY CHILDHOOD & MY HEART

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2019)

GHOSTBUSTERS is obviously one of the greatest movies ever made EVER.
It's also one of the greatest movies of all time, it's a Masterpiece of Cinema & the best movie ever in my opinion.
This is an absolute all time CLASSIC, anyone growing up in the 80's & 90's loved Ghostbusters & it's BRILLIANT underrated Sequel!!!
I love both movies & both are a huge part of why i love MOVIES so much.
Now Ghostbusters '84 was always my favourite movie since tiny & other the years i started to like Ghostbusters 2 more & more & claimed it was my favourite movie of all time, but as much as i enjoy & love that sequel i can't help but notice now I'm alot older the things wrong with it!!!
Such as the fallen Statue of liberty & how did it stand back up & get back to where it originally stood? Why did it even fall down?
Also who did that painting at the end of the Busters & baby Oscar?
Also i notice now how bland & cheap looking the cinematography & lighting is in nearly all of the day scenes on the sets such as Dana's Apartment that looks like a cheap set & all the actors are glowing too bright under what i can imagine is a massive lamp!!! Everything is always way too light & clear like a commercial or something, it lost that deep rich & textured cinematography & lighting from the 1984 Classic!!! The river of slime tunnel scenes are probably the best looking but nearly everything else has a cheap look.
I hate saying this about a movie I've always loved & have deep Nostalgia Love for but it's true i still love GHOSTBUSTERS 2, but the first is better in it's quality of production design, look & cinematography.
I think i still like Ghostbusters 2 more though even with it's faults.
GHOSTBUSTERS has all great all the elements,cinematography, music, cast,special effects & locations of New York City are absolutely iconic & burned into my mind since being tiny,i have so much Nostalgia & love for these Ghostbusters movie's.
I've been obsessed with Ghostbusters all my life & adore the characters who feel like family to me & everytime i watch these film's it's like seeing old friends again.
Ray Stantz (Dan Aykroyd) will always be my favourite character in the franchise.
I grew up watching the animated series The Real Ghostbusters, Extreme Ghostbusters, i collected all the Action figures & watched both FILMS on video over & over growing up,so yes i grew up on Ghostbusters.
This movie made me fall in love with New York City for how it looks on screen & the beautiful & detailed cinematography, both films look beautiful!!!
I could go on & on about my love for Ghostbusters & still never completely explain it lol, the truth is Ghostbusters & it's characters touched something in me at a young age like most fans & never let go!!!
Ghostbusters opened my mind & curiosity to the supernatural, PARANORMAL & my sense of wonder about the world.
Ivan Reitman is one of my favourite movie Directors ever, he sits comfortably next to John Carpenter, I've always loved Reitman's films like his "Kindergarten Cop" & "Stripes" & "Twins" & "Junior" & "Evolution" & of course his masterpiece films "Ghostbusters 1&2" he's a legend of cinema.
From the beautiful opening music & into the iconic Library Ghost scene, Ghostbusters is a phenomenal Comedy Horror Classic, with a perfect blend of silly humour & Scary frights, the cast are Amazing & all four busters our like Super heroes to us film geeks!!!
Bill Murray is a Comic genius, Dan Aykroyd is a Comedy legend & fantastic writer, Harold Ramis R.I.P was a fantastic Director & a the brains on screen & good old Ernie Hudson is an underrated Every man of Cinema.
Love you Ghostbusters.
