So I have a confession to make. I only saw the original 1984 film a couple of days before I saw this remake of Ghostbusters. This means I may not have has as much of an attachment to the original as other people who grew up with it did. Having said that, seeing the trailer prior to seeing the movie definitely piqued my interest. Supernatural beings, Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy and with Paul Feig at the helm, I knew this movie was going to be right up my alley.
This is one very rare instance of when a remake of a movie actually brings something new to the table. With visual effects that make the ghosts look creepier than ever, teamed with an all-girl team of butt- kicking 'busters and a very handsome (but not-so-bright) secretary in the form of Chris Hemsworth, you can't help but enjoy this movie. It has the right amount of laughs, right amount of action and the right amount of cameos (no spoilers here, you'll have to see it for yourself).
After the success of this one, I won't be surprised if a sequel has already been greenlit. This is a movie that lends itself to both older and younger generations alike. Fans of the original will appreciate the various nods and references that they can relate to and the younger audience can experience the joys the older fans felt over 30 years ago.
