Forum Overview :: RedLetterMedia :: My Ghostbusters review

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I wouldn't dream of holding it to the standard of the original Ghostbusters because that's one of my all-time favorite movies; I have told people many times in the past that IN MY OPINION Ghostbusters (1984) is the greatest comedy of all time. I assumed I would not hold the opinion that Ghostbusters (2016) was the new greatest comedy of all time. Instead, I held it to a more reasonable standard: Is it as funny as a similar movie with a similar cast and the same director? Like say...Bridesmaids (2011)? The answer is no. It is not even remotely as good as Bridesmaids. Considering the fact that they had a beloved comedy franchise to work with and a group of people that had previously made a funny movie, they should have been able to make an even funnier movie, and they failed. Ghostbusters (2016) is a failure.[/quote]
