IMAX poster for the Ghostbusters reboot

For those of us who love the original film, it may not necessarily live up to what has gone before, but then it never really tries to. Which brings me back to the idea of resistance.

So, who you gonna call? And that is the wrong way to approach it.

The comedy was not the least bit amusing and felt very forced most of the time. As the three friends notice an increase in paranormal activity building throughout Manhattan, they devise a plan to capture a free-floating, full-torsoed vaporous apparition – or the 2016 equivalent – thus validating their research throughout the scientific community.

Now Erin confronts Abby about the book, which could ruin Erin’s academic career. And they aren’t the only ones who believe. Eventually, Patty (Leslie Jones, also from “Saturday Night Live,”) who works in the subway, joins the ranks after she, too, encounters a ghost. But it’s also simply a breezy good time, one that just happens to culminate with four very amusing ladies shooting a monster in the groin.

“By the last third, Ghostbusters is so awash in digital dizziness you can hardly see the characters for the megapixels”, Peter Travers wrote in a review for Rolling Stone. It’s at the core of the movie, so you have to do that.

“When [movie chief] Tom Rothman took over Sony, this was a huge part of his action plan, not just reviving “Ghostbusters” but building a multi-movie, multi-universe franchise”, Handler said.

While the exact formulations seen behind Kristen Wiig in the film’s first trailer may look like a bunch of random letters and numbers combined, they might actually mean something. After a pretty solid opening act, the middle portion of the film devolves into “we just shot a bunch of stuff without knowing where it would go”.

The many callbacks to the 1984 Ghostbusters in the name of fan service only work about half of the time.

It’s understandable to not want a film that one holds near and dear to be touched. We’ve seen the two do this before in Feig’s Bridesmaids, and that chemistry has obviously spilled over onto Ghostbusters.

Co-written by Katie Dippold, co-writer of The Heat and Paul Feig. Like any other director, he has found his muse in McCarthy and knows how to create roles for women outside of the expected Hollywood norm. She knows the historical context of every building, which is very important to the story, and you will see why if you choose to watch it. McKinnon is also one of those leads who deserves more screen time than she gets.

Leslie Jones, of “SNL”, is stuck playing the soul sister part, but she has a few amusing freestyle moments, as does McKinnon.

This makes the trio more determined than ever to scientifically prove, without a doubt, that ghosts exist. Still, it’s amusing, and somehow it works. The film is certainly not terrifying, but there are a few moments that will get your knuckles white while you wait for that jump scare.

Contrary to the film’s iconic title song lyric – “I ain’t ‘fraid of no ghost” – the Chinese authorities still have certain superstitions related to ghosts and supernatural themes. I’m not going to do stuff where I’m going to throw stuff in the audience’s face!’ I’m like, ‘Why would you not do that?!’ That’s the most fun thing you can do with 3D!
