It wasn't terrible. I like that it stands on its own and isn't a rehash of the original's plot. The pacing is just off. Nothing really happens in the first 2/3 of the movie. A lot of the jokes don't really land, so the movie just kind of trudges along. The last third, however, has a lot of visuals and is a lot more fun.

I took my six year old with me who wore her Ghostbusters costume there. There were a lot of kids ages 5-8 around us. They all seemed pretty bored. I think adults will enjoy it more.

Considering it's PG-13, wth did you bring your six year old along for? I do not understand this wanting to put that age-inappropriate shit in your kids' head.

I'm so glad that my parenting doesn't require your understanding or approval.

NP. Taking a 6-year-old toa PG-13 movie isn't "parenting"; it's actually quite the opposite.

I think there are judgmental threads chock full of hysteria elsewhere awaiting your attention.

Mkay, but when your precious six year old teaches mine swear words, I'm going to have words for you.

She'll be too busy judging her classmates (just like her mama taught her) to care about spicy language.

That's your call taking an underage kid. I for one cannot wait to see the all-female cast.

I've seen it. I loved it, but I really like the 4 female leads so I got all their styles of humor. Also many of the actors from the original make cameos, so that made it fun. Many of the jokes are slight, witty and quick, so if you don't pay attention you will miss them (as if it were an SNL skit). There is no romance in the movie, unlike the original which had a huge underlying love plot between Signorey Weaever and Bill Murray and then all the sexual innuendo between her and Rick Moranis. There is some bathroom humor. There is very little swearing (I think I all really heard was pissed). If your children are scared of movies with ghosts, then this is not the movie for them. Most of the ghosts are scary, they aren't casper there to say hello, and after they slime they sometimes throw humans around which can be upsetting for some kids. My younger kid could handle it. My older kid got upset at Transylvania with the ghosts, so no go for her. Everyone knows their own kid, so it is a judgment call. But it is a funny, light summer movie that a family can go see.

We just saw the new Ghostbusters movie last night ( myself, two teen daughters and husband) We all loved it especially because the four women had distinct different personalities. The one grip my husband had was the Chris Helmsworth character as he thought he was 'too stupid'. But, I told him "now you know how we have felt for years ( and still continue despite the breakthroughs)

I agree that you should wait until your kid is older. The ghosts were scary but, also there is physical violence with the ghosts hurting people and fighting can get scary if you are sensitive.

Go see it and also stay to the very end. There are bonus scenes that hopefully set up the next Ghostbusters II! Btw, I recognized Bill Murray but didn't recognize Dan Aykroyd as the Taxi driver ( sorry to say he didn't look too good) Sigourney Weaver looked good but would have been nice to see more of her!

That isn't the issue with this. Look at the box office of "Bridesmaids", that shows a majority female ORIGINAL movie can make a ton of money. "Pitch Perfect" and the sequel are also good examples.

It cleared $46M on its opening weekend. That's not bombing.

DH and I saw it yesterday and we both really enjoyed it.

It had a solid opening weekend despite all the losers like you who tried so hard to bring it down. But keep on with your prehistoric misogynistic nonsense and enjoy your comic books today.

The first one was funny and made sense when it came out like 30 years ago.

This one is simply pathetic.

Have you even seen it or are you just complaining about it because your neckbeard is itchy?
