GHOSTBUSTERS

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2020)

For a long time now cinema has been haunted by legions of "GHOSTBUSTERS" (1984, Reitman) fans, most of which lambast the sequel and do nothing but spit at the mere mention of the reboot. They love their tiresome, irritating, incoherent "GHOSTBUSTERS" devoutly andunconditionally, and I think that's sad.
For starters this is a boring film. The effects are wonderful but this film offers nothing else.
Bill Murray ruins this film with his sleazy, rapey schtick and his one-liners and slouching posture make him sound and look like a half-witted doper... At no point in this film does Murray seem to care about the film and he sucks.
The plot is driven by the following: private enterprise- good; slave-driven employees- should be grateful; public sector workers- idiots and snides; ghosts- need to be locked up; being abusive, pushy, creepy and loud- very attractive... And so on. These things are not funny and to think they are is juvenile.
Are you scared of not being cool? Is that why you "love" this film? A lot of this film comes off as propaganda for right-wing bigotry. Is that cool? It isn't cool. Those guys have been laughing all the way to the bank thanks to sheep thinking they're cool and it disgusts me. It's not about ghosts being busted! It's an attack on the "left", an insult to both genders, a promotion of destruction over productivity and a celebration of laziness and luck.

Basically the only way a new GHOSTBUSTERS film would have any chance at winning the fans over is if it were made by ladbible because this film may as well have been put together by drunken fratboys. Still if they won't move on they deserve to fossilize with this dinosaur.
Bill Murray is rubbish, script is awful, don't bother just for the effects because there aren't enough of them.
