My quick rating - 7,7/10. This is how you just look the other way and not concern yourself with the previous Ghostbusters attempt ( I didn't hate it, review here), This one not only dealt with the original two existing but it also did a surprisingly great job and not only respecting it for the classic it was but also incorporating the story into modern time. The cast was really varied well and sort of paired off in who interacts with who very some really good comedy. Without naming off them all, the daughter and her buddy the podcaster have some great onscreen scenes for the kid's side while Rudd and Coon do the exact same thing but for the adult's side. The story here is also well done, as the mother inherits a farm in the middle of nowhere after being killed by some evil spirits. I won't give spoilers so I'll leave that part for you to see. But as the story progresses, you learn that there is more to it than just being a simple farm. And it unfolds in good fun as well. It is nice to see the special effects looking so polished (I did watch the original 1984 version recently and it doesn't quite hold up so well). The movie for being 124 minutes really never lags at all since after the ghosts are introduced, the action is pretty non-stop. Up until then, I will say the older brother story was a bit lacking but that is nitpicking. It introduced more necessary characters into the crew that would be needed to stop the return of Zuul. By saying that, I am sure you can see that this movie does really root itself into what you have seen with the first two and I highly suggest you at least go revisit the first one if possible before popping this in. There are quite a few references, props, and characters that will be a part of this. And I am sure you have seen, the whole crew is back to help the new kiddos usher in a new generation of Ghostbusters. The complete and utter amount of love and respect that was put into this one makes it truly worth seeing and I will leave it at RIP Harold Ramis.
