With a really, really charismatic new cast and a movie that, unlike the original, has actual jokes to go with the weird quirky character bits.
So I just got back from seeing the Ghostbusters reboot. It's really, really good.
I would definitely rank the first Ghostbusters pretty highly among my favorite movies of all time, and honestly the reboot is a really solid successor to it. The fanservice may be a bit heavy, the action may fall a bit flat just a few times, the effects may not be as charming, but it's totally successful at basically everything it sets out to do. The cast is great, the many jokes are great, and the whole thing comes together just about as well as such a derivative work could hope to.
There is this weird thematic bit that threw me at first where the villain is a nerd who gets treated terribly by everyone for the whole movie, and his plot to create an army of ghosts is his retribution for a lifetime of being bullied. That made me feel a little weird at first, but everything fit together in the end. The main cast is also made up mostly of nerds who were bullied their whole lives, and they decided to make something of themselves rather than lashing out at other people. When the climax ultimately comes down to a socially awkward loser getting his ass kicked it makes a lot of sense since other socially awkward losers are the ones doing the ass kicking. And is his resemblance to a shrieking entitled Reddit poster a coincidence? Probably not entirely.
So if you were on the fence about whether to see it, I totally recommend that you do. If you go in looking to be mad I'm sure you can find plenty to get mad at, but if you're doing that then you've probably already decided you're not going to give it a ticket sale, so whatever, miss out on how funny Chris Hemsworth is.
