Mild and I do mean very Mild Spoilers. First of all I love Ghostbusters the original and Ghostbusters 2 secondly I think Melisa McCarthy is fantastic in every movie I've seen her in especially The Heat but sorry to say this movie just wasn't as good as the original though not as bad as the damn trailers made out god those trailers sucked, I'll start with the good Kevin played by Chris(Thor) Hemmsworth was funny as hell so was Holtzman though the problem with Holtzman was she was pretty much a combination of the Peter, Ego and Ray which gives her a whole lot of personality shame the same cant be said about every one else in this movie. The FX looked better than the originals but we are like 30 years on. OK so the bad Chemistry simple as the writer forgot that this needs to be key there is imply none I've seem the leads in this movie blow it out of the park before all I can figure is they realised they had signed on to a movie that just wasn't that good as the chemistry wasn't there. Replacing smart science an character based comedy with pure slap stick. Yes there is slap stick in Ghostbusters but its smart funny and the dialogue is still some of the most quotable in movie history. And any one that tells me that people prefer slap stick I will point to the big Bang Theory being one of the most popular and longest running sitcoms around. The Plot borrows heavily from the first film and rubs your nose further in it by having the original cast show up in some cameos. Which then reminds you of a superior movie. I'm not saying this movies Awful what I'm Saying is its a missed opportunity due to a poor script and lack of on screen chemistry. I think the major problem here is the Executives not understanding the Brand particularly well. with out the original to compare it to I'd say it was fun but forgettable.
