This re-boot of the all-time 1984 classic “Ghostbusters” is still worth seeing, although it’s “haunted” by the greatness of the original. The four female leads are very funny (Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, and Leslie Jones). One plus is that the special effects are an up-grade from the original version. There are also funny cameo appearances by Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Sigourney Weaver.
The main problem with the film is that the final scene, where hundreds of ghosts attack New York City, goes on way too long (about 30 minutes), so the film loses momentum. The final scene should have been, at most, 15 minutes.
Nevertheless, if you liked the 1984 movie, I think you will enjoy it. It must be seen, however, on the BS, and won’t work nearly as well as a rental.

A Fun Summer Movie!
Plenty of Laughs, but not a Classic like the 1984 Original!
