A lot of waste potential.. it's no Ghostbusters, unfortunately...

Rating: 6/10 (22 October 2010)

It seems that Sony wanted to play safe with a very small budget and that explains why it was a box office flop. This movie had a lot of potential actually, the CGI and actions scenes are quite good BUT it's like No Ordinary Family TV series.. it's a mixture of different genres without being either one or the other and the mix fails to work as expected.
This movie needed a big enemy. It needed better jokes. Why waste Bill Murray like that if there was no actual threat to characters? The ending battle was just so easy.. the whole movie looked too easy...
It would have been enough to have some unfriendly guys trying to kill them, rape the girls and so on... even with jokes and it would have had a clear meaning.... the product would have been sound that way.
It's really sad to see a movie that had so much potential being wasted like that. This movie really could have become the new Ghostbusters if they tried better or it could have been a very good horror with jokes ... but unfortunately it isn't.
It just seems an unfinished script, it's unfinished business.. it seems to be based on a draft for a better movie.. this movie just looks incomplete. Good cast, good CGI and action scenes.. all wasted.
