Likes : Right first of all this review is not a reflection of the female casting for the film , it an honest & fair review on the film itself..
Judge by the trailer i knew something was off about this film, so i went in to watch this film with low expectation so not to be disappointed , i really wanted this film to higher my expectation & come out the cinema impressed with it to say it was good sadly this doesn't i will explain in dislikes.
Its so easy to compare the original ghostbuster film with this film as a few thing in the film pay homage to certain thing from the original, they didn't do a bad job with the cameos of the original cast , two scene with ghost weren't that bad they were kind of creepy just by the nature of their reaction & manor.
As for cast Melissa McCarthy & Kristen Wiig really were the only two to stands out with performance , Leslie Jones & Kate McKinnon do there best to bring comedy to the film with the script they are give but too many flaws in this film that complete drags this film down.
The only two to really stood out was Chris hemsworth play the geek dumb guy & Neil Casey who playing the villain in the film, he stood out as the villain creepy off hinge person hell bent of open a portal to destroy the world which if done better would have been a great film but sadly this was poorly done, there is a end credit scene if your will to stay after the credits roll.
Dislikes : Where do i start , i was hoping this film would prove me wrong & actually turn out to be a good film instead it was the most pain film ive ever sat through that i almost walked out on.
In all honesty this did not feel like a ghostbusters film due to it lack of story , there were long scene where they just arnt doing anything & testing equipment instead of having scene like they did with the original film going out & capturing ghosts.
Where the comedy? ..........Seriously i mean this is meant to be a comedy the joke were just awful this is the major problem this film had, with the original it was funny because the cast bounce off each other with banter, sadly with this casting just didn't work on screen.
This casting might be funny on SNL show with short scene but trying to be funny through a whole film just wasn't the right casting , Kristen Wiig is a good actress but she just hasn't got that comedy in her because she more of a serious role actress & Kate McKinnon was seriously uncomfortable to watch it was like she was trying to force the comedy which made it even worst.
(spoiler alert) There is a scene where the villain freezes everyone in what look like a dance scene like the mask but never happened thank god but this scene just felt so out of place wasn't necessary for the film, dont get me start on the scene after with the main villain , the film already lost me attention half way through but that scene just killed the film straight way , because it was like something out of a bad who framed roger rabbit scene.
Although some scene with the C.G.I were pretty well done, there are moments with seriously bad green scene effects that just look awful on the screen making seriously obvious that it was green scene that complete lost the shoot of the scene realism.
The film as whole felt more like a bad cartoon turn to a poorly made film , because the villain at the end as a seriously rip off of the original stay puff just a more creeper version , it just poorly written with a poor concept story that could have been done better, because i mean the film is meant to be about capturing ghost yet the scene in the new York square contradicts everything the film is meant to be portraying which a bad mistake for the film.
All i can say to Sony is dont allow Paul Feig to direct another ghosstbuster film ever again, because this was a very lazy piss poor attempt at revamp the franchise
Overall : Poor green screen moments, lack of story content , felt more like a bad cartoon than a movie.
Rating: 4.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 5 out of 10 for concept
