Ghostbusters

One of my favourite American fantasy comedies that I always enjoyed watching as a kid and my opinion hasn't changed over time. The film doesn't lack action or humour and although the visual effects look ridiculous today, it was a blast back then - I still like them now, especially the little green ghost and the "doggies". Bill Murray is a really likeable actor and he really nails it on screen, and I've always liked Sigourney Weaver. And Rick Moranis is so goofy, in a good way. And that catchy theme song! All in all, a really imaginative, original and technically proficient film for its time, and one that makes you laugh. (26/07/2010)

Nostalgia should be put aside in a review, but I can't help myself here. I had fun watching this movie in the cinema when I was a kid and I have some great out-of-movie experiences associated with it. I'd probably see it differently today, but I'm going to ignore that and give it four stars. And Sigourney Weaver is really hot here. (13/04/2003)

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! A legendary comedy now. A picture where the result of evaluation is not influenced in any way by nostalgia. Simply because Ghostbusters is somehow timeless. For its time it was technically innovative, had perfect chemistry between the actors, lots of references (not just) to celebrated horrors and mainly it’s a perfect summertime romp that you can repeat over and over and over again.

One of the great commercial hits of the 80s that could rely on the comedic abilities of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd. The famous Sigourney Weaver contributed with her feminine charm, and Ivan Reitman supervised it all with skillful direction. The catchy film song and script containing a number of gags, along with the fact that the film was made as a typical mainstream family spectacle, contributed to the fact that Ghostbusters received direct global fame and can be perceived as a certain embodiment of commercially oriented production by American studios in the 80s. Overall impression 75%. (05/01/2008)

A very funny and original comedy, but it's not so much the story and script that make it above average, but the inimitable performances led by Murray and Aykroyd. It's really powerful how just looking at their faces could make me smile. Oh, and I can't forget the music and the really interesting monsters, they definitely had something to them too, but I don’t consider it a cult classic, though. (26/10/2011)

This is a childhood passion that remains with me. I just love this movie. There are plenty of beautiful things about it, from fantastic special effects, great actors, humor, and the lovely Sigourney, all the way to that huge marshmallow that just knocks the air out of you and makes you laugh if you haven't seen the film yet. Even after all these years, it hasn't lost anything. (24/12/2015)

Ghostbusters managed to entertain me easily. Bill Murray is simply a guarantee of a great movie, and on top of that, a sci-fi movie :-) However, it's not a comedy I would remember for the rest of my life :-) (06/07/2011)
