Reviews

meerkat-59083 The humor of this movie is perfect, the way the characters, plot, and settings work are amazing. Recommend for everyone unless you are a soulless crab.

So La-la This is one of the all time great comedy films. I laugh so much every time I watch this movie. The effects don't hold up as well as they could but they are still pretty solid considering this movie is from 1984. Moranis, Murray, Aykroyd etc are all really hilarious in this. Great acting, great writing (Ramis), great direction (Reitman), everything is great in the comedy here.

morganstephens512 I thought that this was going to be a somewhat below average movie that just did not hold up that well in today standard when I saw this in 2016. But when I saw it, the more that I saw that it still did hold up and that the comedy was still good, the acting was great, and the characters were still enjoyable to watch. The effects do not hold up too much today, but that is due to age and I do like the fact that the characters and dialogue worked with each other to produce a nice team that seemed to really consider each other actual friends and such.

Davis P Ghostbusters is a classic 1980s film that everyone has at least heard of, especially because of the 2016 remake starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig. The original movie stars Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Harold Ramis. It is a comedy movie, the only people that ever think this is a scary movie are small children. The movie is all about these men who form a group and of course they go into the business of ghost busting together. The writing is very comical, it's really not the best comedy in the world, but parts of it are funny. To be honest, I like this movie mainly because of the cast, big Sigourney Weaver fan. The effects were good for the time, now they'd kinda be lacking. The action scenes are done pretty well and I liked the visuals. The movie is one most people will have fun with, it's just not the greatest thing in the world if I'm being 100% honest. I give ghostbusters a 7/10 because it is pretty entertaining, but it is not the best movie in the world.
