Ghostbusters is a moderately amusing action comedy, starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones as an all- female team of haunter huntresses.
How much you enjoy the movie (assuming you can get over any predispositions) depends mostly on whether you like Director Paul Feig's style and writing. I personally like the cheeky sense of humor intermixed with gags and visual humor.
Having said that, the movie becomes a bit too heavily dependent on slapstick towards the end, and forgettable CGI action sequences do little to enhance the experience. Which is a shame, because the introduction and build up of the team is pretty well done.
All in all, Ghostbusters is not going to win any awards or birth a beloved new franchise. But much to the disappointment of its many detractors, it's not nearly as bad of a movie as they hoped. It's certainly fun enough for an evening's entertainment.
